    He was getting ready to set up the offense before realizing the shot clock didn't reset, thus he shot it. It's pretty simple.

    This is big and you guys aren't talking about it. This puts us 1/2 game out of home court advantage.

    And Ptd is 2 back in the loss column (and don't have the tiebreaker if I remember right).

    it's going to be tough to catch Houston . . . but they have lost 3 in a row now.

    The big game in my mind is that SA-GS game.

    The one team I don't want to see in the playoffs is the Clippers. I would hate to see Blazers slip to 6th.

    SA up by 12, 9 mins to go

    I just looked. First time this season I've started counting down the games. When I had Coolstandings.com I was watching much earlier each season but they went kaput.

    Howard's knee means that even if he plays he sucks. They will go 4-8, we will go 5-7, and we'll get HCA.

    Each team has 2 .500+ teams remaining.

    I'll bitch about players on the Pacers all I want! It's the Pacers! Who cares. My bitching doesn't even have to be accurate. Fuck other teams besides the Blazers.

    And while I'm at it, who gives a fuck how hard Meyers fouled some stupid Laker. He's a Laker! All Lakers are scum and should be fouled hard!

    Some of you have your priorities all messed up.

    I've moved past that, I'm concerned about who we're going to meet in the 2nd round of the playoffs. Worrying about HCA is sooooo last week.

    We're 1 back, but that tiebreaker...Okay, then Houston goes 4-8, we go 6-7, and we take HCA.

    I'm lost, how many games do you think are left?

    Blazers have 6 games Houston has 8. If Houston goes 4-4, then Blazers need a 5-1 record to sneak into 4th
