    They could lose to the Lakers. I don't know exactly what's going on in LA but in full strength (Lebron, Rondo, Mcgee all playing), I still see the Lakers as a major threat

    I think there were only four that selected the blazers to win over 50 reg season games. And Im not sure there were many at all that thought they would get home court advantage. Season is still on though....

    I only need 4 more wins to collect on a bet placed in Vegas last Fall. Easy $$$. I also only need 4 more wins for the Spurs to collect more money. :matrix:

    Been arguing about this on Twitter with Chad Doing and Travis Demers. They're both staunchly in the "2 seed is beyond reach, don't even bother thinking about it" camp. Chad even said that Denver is more likely to catch the Warriors than we are to catch Denver.

    On that note, I think we still have shot at 1 seed. Our schedule is so easy and we’re playing great basketball. Can 55 wins get us the 1 seed?

    I don't see Golden state losing any more than 4 games the rest of the way, so no, I don't think the 1 is possible.

    We're assuming your Lakers aren't.

    This is exactly what i'm trying to say, honestly i really don't care about come court or not, but i would much rather play against the Clippers or Spurs than against the Thunder, Rockets or Jazz. 2 seed or 3 seed could be critical
