    HUGE! As I thought they had a fairly easy schedule..now all we need is Utah to choke on the road and us to take care of bidness on the home court

    Clearly Portland has no chance to win the division with Denver losing to teams like Sacramento.....er, wait.

    Mar. 16 New Jersey
    Mar. 18 at Memphis
    Mar. 20 Washington

    Re: Denver Lost Tonight

    Ahhh . . . you beat me to it.

    Nice to see one of our rivals struggle with a 13-49 team like we often do (well, I guess 14-49 now)

    Thank you Sac-town!!

    What a strange week and a half for Denver. Beat the Lakers - afterwards Karl is talking about how this year's Denver team has the swagger of a champion b/c of Chauncy. Then they lose a game they probably feel they should have won vs the Pacers. Melo gets suspended and they drop another to Detroit. Then, they come back home and whack us to stay in 1st place. All's well, right? Wrong, they blow a 20 point lead At Utah and then drop a game you "have to win" at Sacramento tonight.

    Wierd, huh?

    Re: Denver Lost Tonight

    That's life in the wild wild Western Conference.

    I agree that we have a shot at the division, but where did this "EASY" adjective come from, Kingspeed? Are you for serious? Have you checked out OUR remaining games lately?

    Re: Denver Lost Tonight

    The # of losses is more important than the # of wins. And our winning % is actually better than Denvers.

    Even if we finished 11-9, the Suns would have to go 16-3 just to tie us. And Denver's below us? That's awesome.

    Portland .629
    Denver .625
