    Looks like it is just going to be the Blazers and Rockets for the 8th seed going down the stretch. It should be interesting.

    I like our chances if we stand pat on the roster and get Joel back. Clearly if we blow the roster up then all bets are off.

    I think I heard that SAC went on a 17-2 run to close out the game. It will be interesting to see how VC mixes with Nash if things continue to go south.

    He won't. I predict a season ending hangnail in about a month.

    I wouldn't count MEM out. I would say the same for SAC, but their schedule is gonna get much harder.

    I pretty much knew this was going to happen when they made the trade. Getting rid of JRich and bringing in Vince was the final straw for that team. They're done. They might as well trade Nash now while they can still get value for him.

    I still think the Nuggets and/or Hornets could miss the playoffs. Rockets, Blazers, and Grizzles could all get in!

    I think the Grizzlies have as good of a chance as the Suns/Blazers/Rockets.

    The Kings? No chance.

    I believe you were the one who said the Suns wouldn't miss a beat without Amare.

    I'm curious to why you think the Grizz have a legitimate shot at the 8th seed.

    their scoring is ridiculous with zach and gay. if they ever play defense watch out.

    with that said.... their schedule is BRUTAL this month so if they come out around 500 then they could be in great shape to steal the 8th seed
