    I agree. Maybe before we played Phoenix, I got a little hesitant about the Suns creeping back up. But now, they need to take care of business and beat teams ahead of us. We can surely win two games the rest of the season to clinch our playoff berth. Go Suns!

    Yup, I'm rooting against Houston, San Antonio, and Denver from here on out.

    Any Milsap type players out there that the Blazers could draft at late lottery?

    I guess that we could just bring over Freeland.(sp)

    Tonight might be the night we clinch and demolish this magic number. However I don't see Phoenix losing to Sac town again.

    Word. If I'm being honest, I wouldn't mind the Suns winning out the rest of the season. It's almost a certainty that Portland will win at least 2 of the next 8 (barring a complete meltdown), so for the rest of the way, I'd like to see the Suns keep winning.

    Also, seeing as how Dallas is in that 8th slot and we always have trouble with them, I'd rather see Phoenix take it and leave out Dallas and any chance we would have to meet them in the second round.

    We got the number to one. Now lets find out if the guys will be clean shaven on Sunday. Go Sac-town!

    Looks like the Suns are going to win so it's going to remain at 1 for now.

    Has anybody seen anything like Team 1 hosts Team 8 on this date and Team 3 hosts Team 6 on that date?

    Just curious - how is it that the standings show us having a 1/2 game lead on the Rockets and yet they've clinched a playoff spot and we haven't (at least Yahoo shows it that way). Makes no sense to me.

    Gramps...

    Houston won the season series against the Suns, so they have the tie breaker. Portland merely split with them, so they have to rely on conference record in the unlikely event of a tie, and their conference records are too close to call at this point in time. If Houston or Portland lost every game, and Phoenix won every game, they'd have identical records regardless of where they show up in the standings at this time.
