    I believe we clinch playoffs with a win if Kings lose. Earliest we’ve clinched playoffs in awhile I think.

    This is going to be a total slobber knocker BAH GAWD! My biggest concern is Griffin....he totally owns us whenever we play him. I don't see that changing anytime soon....especially not with Aminu guarding him.

    It will be important for our Bigs.....namely Nurk and Collins.....to stay out of foul trouble against Drummond and Griffin. Especially Collins.....I can see him getting into foul trouble pretty quickly against these two; whichever one he's guarding.

    Go Blazers.

    We'd be up 10 games with 10 to play for both teams but we wouldn't clinch. We still play them once more. The winner wins the head to head. There is also the possibility of other teams tying with us too which would not be good for us in terms of tie breakers. Our magic number for a playoff spot appears to be 3. If we win and the Kings lose we'd still need one more win or one more Kings loss.

    Griffin/Drummond going to hurt. Nurk can't have stupid fouls tonight. Aminu needs to play some amazing defense

    No idea. I think its a combination of record, opponent record, rSOS (Including home/away), etc.

    If they're going to start a PF at SG they should take advantage of the mismatch on offense, Jake should be able to shoot over the top of most SG's pretty easily.
