Hell no. We need to continue playing hot and end the regular season winning 9 out of the last 10 games. I want to destroy Denver tonight whether we have HCA or not.
I would never rest Oden. The guy barely plays at all and NEEDS the burn to develop. And I'm pretty sure he's a guy that if he was given the choice, he would play. I assume that due to how frustrating it must've been to sit out a whole year and 30+ games this year. Sometimes we forget that playing basketball is fun as well.
Of course I want us to win. I hope we destroy the Nuggets as well, but it would be cool to have the pressure taken off us going into the game.
I would prefer if our players didnt know the score of other games, but I'm sure someone will Tweet them to let them know they have HCA even if they avoided watching TV. I think they need to send a message to Denver and get in their heads, just in case we play them in a future playoff round.
We're getting no help from these lesser teams, similar to what's happened the last three weeks of the season. It's all on us. We win, we're 4th. If we lose, as of now, we're 5th. I doubt Houston blows a 10 point lead or SA lets this one slip at home... so it's 4th and HCA to play for all on us.
Who wants us to win? Honestly, I wouldn't be opposed to taking HCA as the 4th seed if possible. Everyone is saying that the Lakers should be scared of US more than any other team. I don't know if I want to play New Orleans if we're at the 3 seed and them the 6th. Or the Mavericks. It'd be easiest to win against SA right now since Ginobili is out and Duncan is playing on half a leg. I don't want us to lose, but it might be more advantageous in some ways than playing a capable and hungry NO or Dallas team.
I know we have said this about probably half of our games......but this is the biggest game of our season. Let's get this fucking thing. Down with Denver. We NEED this. We are going to be playing Houston. That is the the truth. Now, let's get make sure we do it with homecourt.
