The goal is to lock up the 5th seed TOMORROW. That can happen if Memphis wins tonight (over Dallas) and loses tomorrow night (to GS). Then if we beat Minnesota, we have the 5 seed with a whole week off to prepare.
Actually, I got it wrong. There is no way to clinch tomorrow because we would still need a loss by Memphis which couldn't happen til Tuesday. Or if Memphis loses tonight, then a Dallas loss to Utah would clinch it. I'm just still worried about Dallas so the sooner they lose, the better.
Dammit Speed!! was taking your word for it!!!! Damn, and I almost posted that I love the hell out of you.. Now I just hate ya! Damn, I look like such a follower now... hahaha
Why? That wouldn't guarantee us the 5 seed. Memphis will lose to GS. What we need is for Dallas to lose. If we blow a game and Dallas wins out, Dallas is the 5 seed.
I just want us to clinch before Wednesday. I suppose that is possible on Monday if Dallas wins tonight but loses in Utah. So maybe we should delete this thread....
Wrong. Learn the game then post. We could lock up the 5th seed Sunday or Monday if Dallas wins tonight; that's the earliest. Checkmate.
