    He'd probably say it was 100% negative.

    Curry hit 7 3's tonight in a Warriors win over the Spurs. Hes one shy of tying the record and, obviously, two away from breaking it.

    Game 82 is @ Portland. If the Warriors win they'll clinch the seventh seed outright. The Rockets play the Lakers simultaneously and hold a tiebreaker over the W's. After losing to the Suns tonight, however, they need a Warriors loss to get that 7 spot.

    You mean 6th seed, right?

    The Lakers actually have a shot at the #6 seed if you can believe it!

    The #7 you mean, right?

    What's the tiebreaker if LA beats Houston tomorrow? They'd both be 45-37, and they'd be 2-2 on their season series. Does it go their conference record (where the Lakers have a better WC record)?

    It seems like every year I ask these questions... should probably just learn the tiebreaking rules by now...

    From what I recall, it goes head-to-head record, then Division record and then Conference record. But I'm not 100% certain.

    Per wiki:

    So because they're not in the same division it bumps down to conference win %?

    Yep, and the Lakers' conference record is 27-24, to the Rockets' 24-27. So, if the Lakers win tomorrow, they get the 7 spot and the Spurs in round 1, but if they lose, they could miss the playoffs entirely.

    Go Rockets.

    @ESPNStatsInfo: Trail Blazers look to avoid their 1st single-season 12-game losing streak since 1986 - Sam Bowie's 2nd season

    Or maybe you aren't even eligible if you are called up.

    Well I guess this was the plan when it come to SJAx being waived:

    Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 6m
    Tracy McGrady will sign with the San Antonio Spurs for the rest of the season, league sources tell Y! Sports.

    The Grizzlies just picked up Donte Greene using the same loophole.

    Any other notable players out there that might be picked up for the playoffs?

    The ones that come to mind for me are Allen Iverson, Stephon Marbury, Yi Jianlian, and Delonte West.
