    Let's keep SA and Memphis in 2/3 spots and have Houston outplay the Clippers. If Memphis wins tomorrow, Clippers fall to 6th and Houston is at 5th where we want them.

    It wouldn't necessarily be the end of the world if Memphis looses as well. They'd be tied with Houston but Houston has the tie breaker over them which would propel them to the 5th seed.. Atleast I think so??

    True. This is all so very complicated. Like you, I really hope we face Houston. They are the most beatable team in the playoffs. And that includes Brooklyn and Boston.

    But if it's a 4-way tie (highly likely if LAC beats Memphis), then Memphis ends up 5th:

    I don't know how I feel against Memphis right now, but I'll take anyone besides the Spurs.

    Slumping or not we don't want to have to play MEM. Would rather play LAC than the Grizzlies. Of course Hou over both.

    I really just want the Blazers healthy (at least the ones available) and rested. They will give any team a bunch of good games.

    Aparrently both Conley & Allen out tonight for Memphis, so that's pretty big favor to Clippers... Conley may be out until end of season too.

    Houston can tumble from 2nd to 5th.

    At this point it looks like we will be playing MEM in the playoffs (which might be ok if Gasol and Conley are both still banged up).

    The last time we played Memphis, Aldridge had 16 points at half and then sat out the second half. He knows he can slaughter them when it matters.

    Give me Houston or Memphis. Memphis because Conley/Allen are likely both to no be near 100% come playoff time and Houston because Clutchfans would be on suicide watch if we beat them again.
