    Time to root against the Nuggets. OKC leads by 5 late in the 2nd Quarter. HUGE for us if OKC can pull this one out.

    For it to matter, they would have to not only lose this game, but also lose in denver against Sac, and against the Blazers, and the Blazers would have to win all remaining games for us to overtake them in the standings. I don't see all this happening, so I don't think it really matters. 1 seed is LA, 2 seed is going to be denver. The Blazers are fighting for 3rd or worse.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah...if Denver loses tonight and then loses in LA, Portland can win the division by winning out.

    OKC up three at the half. PHX is looking like they're going to put NOH away.

    There's is still an outside chance of getting the NW Division title.

    If Denver falls to OKC and falls to the Lakers tomorrow, but beat Sacramento on Monday, they'll be 53-28.
    If we beat the Lakers on Friday and the Clippers on Saturay, and OKC on Monday, we'd be 53-28.

    Which sets up, Denver @ Portland on final game of the regular season for the NW Division championship.

    We need the Thunder to win!

    So, if Denver loses to the Lakers tonight, and we beat them on the 15th, they'll take the tie-breaker....assuming both teams win all their other games>
