    I think we'll play the Clippers and if we face SA we actually could match well. I want another team to take out the Grizz as we all know they own the Portland schedule

    I hope we make it to the Finals, and every series goes seven games.

    For Mrs. HCP's sake.

    Wow. Apparently, "pasted" became a word that alluded all the spell checks on Casey's computer.

    I love you, Casey!!

    And "alluded" for you.

    (should be eluded)

    This is one of my fav kinds of posts. People calling out grammatical and spelling mistakes from others, but have a big one sitting in their post.

    Man, it's just crazy how these 2-6 spots are shaking out. Assuming that the Spurs beat the Rockets again tomorrow and then the Clips beat the Grizz on Saturday, it is very reasonable for all four of those teams to finish 56-26 (with the major roadblock to that being Memphis' visit to Oakland on Monday).

    Anybody know who holds the tie breakers if Mem and Hou finished tied, if Mem and Sas finished tied, if Hou and Sas finished tied OR if they all finish tied?

    Nevermind just found this:

    We need the Spurs to lose one so they don't jump the Clippers if the Clippers lose to Memphis. Losing to Brooklyn ended any rational hope for the 2 seed. Just root for the Clippers to lose to Memphis, the Spurs to lose a game, and for us to win out so we have HCA over the Clips in round 1

    I'd be surprised if Pop didn't sit his starters for at least half of their remaining regular season games

    Ok, this discussion has more to do with us and HCA and if the teams involved were to win out which only 2 teams other than the Blazers can do since SAS plays @ HOU and MEM plays @ LAC.

    First of all this is assuming we win out which will be a challenge.

    So if I am looking at this right, if the Rockets and Grizzlies win out then they would finish 57-25 with Memphis getting the tie breaker and the 2nd seed and the Rockets the 3rd seed.

    If the Clipps and the Spurs win the rest of their games, except for the loses to the Rockets and Grizzlies, then they and the Blazers would all finish 55-27. Clipps get the tie breaker over the Spurs and we have the tie breaker over both of them we so would have HCA over the Clipps in the first round in this scenario.

    If the Clipps or Spurs win out we cant get HCA even if we win out.

    So if you want HCA then you need to root for the Rockets and Grizzlies to win out.

    There are other scenarios where we could have HCA if multiple teams lose multiple games but that is a mess. This would be the most straight forward way.

    Rockets 10-Apr vs SAS
    12-Apr vs NOP
    13-Apr at CHA
    15-Apr vs UTA

    Grizz 10-Apr at UTA
    11-Apr at LAC
    13-Apr at GSW
    15-Apr vs IND

    Clipps 11-Apr vs MEM
    13-Apr vs DEN
    14-Apr at PHX

    Spurs 10-Apr at HOU
    12-Apr vs PHX
    15-Apr at NOP
