    Looking at the schedule, Denver's next 3 games are brutal. @ OKC tonight, back-to-back tomorrow vs LAL in Denver and Sat vs Spurs. They could easily lose all three and be sitting in 7th or 8th place. Yikes, that could bring a whole new dimension to the 6th, 7th and 8th spots. Especially since they have the tie breaker with us.

    I guess in the end we just worry about us but it just seems crazy that most people have the Jazz, Mavs, Nuggets and Suns on this whole other level that people seem to think the bottom teams cant get to. ANY losing streak by ANY team in the west will have huge implications.

    That makes up for the other 8-10 fouls that he gets throughout the game that aren't fouls. Towards the end of regulation, he was awarded foul shots on some phantom bull shit call.

    I disagree. No ref is going to make that call. OKC may bitch, but maybe if they had played defense during the game during any stretch of the game, it wouldn't have came down to that. 140 points on the board? Are you kidding me? Try defending somebody.

    What's with all these top teams allowing OKC to give them a tough time. Send those chumps to the RG and we will show the western conference how to play these kids. :D

    Houston is taking it to the Jazz right now! I am all for rooting for the suns and the mavs and against the jazz and nuggets....in hopes that we end up playing phoenix or dallas.

    edit: I guess I am rooting for the nuggets tonight though, against OKC.

    Clearly that double-OT thriller took everything Utah had. Works for me! Come on Nuggets!
