    Not take away. Get him the 38th pick this year. Try to get Bruce Brown.

    That was before tonight's win.

    Nuggets lost, but Clips won. Magic number is now 2.

    No it's not. Clippers can win 48 games. We have 46.

    Exactly.... 2 games. We're guaranteed to have any tiebreaker. The magic number is 2

    How are we guaranteed to have the tiebreaker? A tie with them would mean wed have lost our 4th game against them which would evem the season series.

    Unless OKC somehow passes us, we'd own the second tie breaker (division winner) over LAC.

    Second tiebreaker is division record (not applicable).
    Third is conference record. If we win 2 more, we'd be guaranteed to have a better conference record

    But what if we're tied with multiple teams? That's why it doesn't take into account ties. Too complicated.

    I still wish we had those two recent home losses as wins and an 8th road win coming on today..

    I foresee CJ, ET, Chief, Ed, Nurk and Bazz as the prime players for controlling and winning this game. We have to take the 4th quarter like Dame did last night.

    We don't need a ball handler off the bench. We just need to make sure either bazz or CJ are on the court at all times like the Rockets do with harden and Paul. or like we did with Dame and CJ when we weren't playing bazz early in season. And you want to start a guy you haven't seen in practice just cause you think he has a chip on his shoulder for some reason?

    The kids gonna have to play regardless, so I say start him. Playing with he starters is going to give him less responsibility than running the 2nd unit. It's either him or Layman and we could use the extra ball handler, as playing a guard rotation of CJ, Bazz, Baldwin, and a little bit of Turner makes surethat two ball handlers are on the court at all times.

    They just beat the twolves and that W could cost them the 1st overall Pick. No way memphis wins again
