    Rockets vs. Kings

    Good team vs. Bad team. Kings will probably be mailing it in but I'm rooting for them.

    Lakers vs. Nuggets

    I don't know that we can realistically catch the Nuggets - if we were closer, I'd be rooting for the Lakers (ouch! hard to say). As it is, I don't really care who wins, I just want it to be a tough, TOUGH game as we will be facing the Lakers tomorrow night.

    We're two losses behind them, right.

    Loss 1 to the Lakers
    Loss 2 to the Blazers

    There you go. Of course, that means we have to win all our own games, too.

    True, and if the Lakers win tonight, perhaps they'll be a little less "hungry" for a win tomorrow.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Denver will win the divisional record tie-breaker (head-to-head is tied), so Portland needs to finish a full game ahead of them. Denver needs to lose out and Portland needs to win out for Portland to take the division.

    Well, a half-game lead is impossible once both teams have played 82 games.

    Denver's magic number is 1 to clinch the division in other words.

    Maybe we could get both? Lakers vs Denver goes 3 over-times and leads to bench clearing brawls then end up with multiple suspensions for both teams.

    I love the idea.

    I like your thinking but it is less likely than Steve Blake hitting a half-court shot at the end of a half. Oh yeah.....:NOTMARIS:

    I'm gonna root for Houston. San Antonio is first on my list for playoff opponent (yes, even over NO), so I want them to fall behind the Rockets.
