    Hmmm......it's a bit peculiar that both George Hill and Raul Neto have a right groin strain. What the heck are they doing in Utah that's causing this? And are they doing it together?

    The T-wolf loss can deliver anger for the losing circumstance or trigger a downward trend. Playing the Jazz after that game result does not feel encouraging. MyLe has got to do more than imitate a tree. Hope Denver losses and we battle for a win. Von and Hark have got to step up.

    Gobert is going to have a field day.

    As an Aussie myself, I'm keen to see Dante and Jingles play well! The rest of the team can have a shit one though!

    About close to a must win as we'll get before elimination time. Unfortunate. We needed last night's game.

    We have the two games against Minnesota and New Orleans at home that should be Ws. I see worst case scenario we get 2 out of the last 5. This means Denver needs 5 Ws and they have only 2 games at home. I don't think there is any chance we lose the 8th seed even if we lose tonight.

    Even with a couple of Jazz players out, if the Blazers can't beat the T-Wolves, doubtful they can beat the Jazz on the 2nd of a back-to-back. I don't think it really matters though because I don't see Denver winning enough games the rest of the season for it to make a difference.

    It's not a must win at all. Even if we go 38-40 and Denver win at New Orleans, they will be 37-40 and own the tie-breaker. Looking at calendars in a pessimistic way:

    Denver:
    @ New Orleans W 37-40
    @ Houston L 37-41
    v New Orleans W 38-41
    v Oklahoma City W 39-41
    @ Dallas W 40-41
    @ Oklahoma City W 41-41

    Portland:
    @ Utah L 38-40
    v Minnesota W 39-40
    v Utah W 40-40
    v San Antonio L 40-41
    v New Orleans W 41-41

    And that requires Denver to win at Oklahoma which won't be easy and win at Dallas and New Orleans which will be tricky. We only beat Minnesota, New Orleans and Utah at home. I don't think our playoffs spot is in any real danger. I also reckon the best Denver will end up with will be 39-43., and we only need 1 more win to get to the same record.

    so, what's the over/under for rebounds that Gobert is going to get over Meyers?

    I won good money last night on Towns over 27.5 points, it was a no brainer. Think I will go for Gobert rebounds tonight indeed.

    The most pessimistic side of me still thinks Denver will lose two more games the rest of the way (the rockets game and the thunder away game.) so in that scenario we only need to win two more. Not expecting one of them being tonight.

    Pelicans destroy Denwer few games ago, I think they will win 3 or 4 at most , what is problem is that without Nurkic we return to our same poker games , If Dame and McCallum have crazy games we win and we have bad defense again. So basicly I m worry can we win 4 games , witch is number we need to be secure
