    Games against the people you are jostling for seeds with are important. If we had won last 2 games vs OKC, we'd be in battle for one seed. Sunday's game matters. It's the one game where we have control over Houston losing.

    Nah. We were blowing them out twice during the game, but it ended up being close.

    Exactly, that's why Sunday's game is so huge. Lose the game and we don't control our own destiny. Beat Houston and win two of the other games on the trip and we're in great shape. Lose 3 or more including loss to Houston, we fall into a battle for 5 or 6 seed instead of 2 or 3 seed. When you wait to look at standings in APril, what do you want the standings to look like? That's decided now. If we lose these next two, is our season over? No. But our chance of 3 seed or higher is LIKELY gone.

    Woot, I'm excited for this game. Today went by slow but 5:30 game always helps. Dallas is usually a good game too.

    Go Zers! Let's crush em.

    By the way, if we lose this game, we will fall out of HCA for the first time since the 3rd week of the season.

    No it's not.

    I'll wait for the standings. No need to try to freak out about something two weeks from now when all you have is today's game.

    Of course. But if we lose, it's only a 6 seed, all the other games have been played out. :MARIS61:

    No. But if we lose and then lose to Rockets and another team, on this trip, we'll fall out of the top seeds with not much time to get back in it. Dallas is important because it's first game of trip. Houston game is important because it determines season series.
