    Just win those home games, and pull tomorrow's one out against Chicago in that stretch. We are so close that the boys should be playing out of their skins to get there! Z should be hyped as he hasn't seen the playoffs since his rookie year!

    If we do in fact get the 6th seed, who would we play as of the moment?

    If the top three didn't change and we ended up as the three seed, we would be playing Detroit in the first round.

    Indiana, Jersey, and Detroit would all be very difficult matchups for us.

    Detroit definately is our best matchup, but now they have Wallace, they are even tougher! New Jersey are to be avoided, so that should be motivation enough to push for 6th. You can pretty much put in stone....

    1. Indiana
    2. New Jersey
    3. Detroit
    4. Milwaukee or New Orleans
    5. As above

    Then it get interesting

    6. Cleveland
    7. Miami
    8. New York

    And the unlucky teams

    9. Phili
    10. Toronto
    11. Boston

    I think we could give Indiana a tough series if Artest didn't play.

    Jersey would run us into the ground 4 straight.

    We have defeated Detroit pre-Sheed.

    Its going to be a very hard road no matter who it is.

    If we just get there, it would be a great feat! To be 6th would be unbelievable. As long as we make the playoffs and be competitve, this season will be beyond expectations! Very good adjustments made by Paxson during this season!

    And some repect from the fans on the NBA.com survey

    Of the teams knocking on the playoff door, which has the best chance of getting in?

    Cleveland
    45%

    Philadelphia
    19%

    Portland
    17%

    Utah
    11%

    Boston
    8%

    Phili have a slight lead over the T-Wolves nearing the end of the 3rd. Hey thats not to script! Minny will bring it home for us!

    Denver and NY have just tipped off. All of a sudden there are some Carmelo fans on the board. LOL. Go Nuggets!

    Phili up 3 with 1.20 to play against T-Wolves. C'mon Garnett!

    Nuggets whipping the Knicks

    FINAL : Iversonless 76's defeat Minny 81-74!

    Denver still having there way with the Knicks, so all not bad!

    How the hell did Philli beat a full strength Minny team with Iverson, Robinson and Coleman all out???

    Amazing! They cant be counted out of the playoff picture, thats for sure!

    Got to give Philly credit for beating the Wolves without their 3 main superstars.

    Well let's set the script for tonight....

    Cavs must beat the Bulls, a loss here would be terrible.

    Orlando plays Boston, no doubt we will be pulling for McBaby in this one.

    Only 5 games tonight, and these are the only 2 that have to do with the playoff race.

    If Vince come back now, he does only get even more hurt, so if I where him, I would get rest and try to take it just before it's not to late, but I think Toronto is out of the competition about a playoffs spot, with or without Vince, they isn't good enough!

    (Rose/A.Williams/Carter/Marshall/Bosh) ain't a better line up than ( Mccinnis/James/E.Williams/Boozer/Ilgauskas ) ?

    Fully healthy, those rosters are about equal.

    However, you guys have Rose, Carter, and Alvin all banged up or out.

    You guys would probably been comfortably in the 6th spot if you had made that trade before the season and had everyone healthy the entire way.

    Celtics blew out the Magic, the Bulls are blowing out the Cavs.

    Looks like tonight might be our first bad night in a good while.

    Heat up 54/52 @ the half

    Hard to pick who I would want to win, but I guess I'll take a Heat loss as I want them to go on a losing streak without Wade for 10 days.

    It's a game that would be tough to watch as you want both sides to miss.

    HHHMMM, yeah I'll take a Raptor victory!
