    Here's a question: are the Lakers locked in their #1 slot? Because if so, they might not play as hard, and if one of our games is against them...

    I dont think so. If everyone has play 8 more games. The standings after those 8 games are what should count, especially if they count for the 8th seed. It shouldn't be free time for them, they should still be battling to keep 1st from LAC and DEN.

    Why, Chris? Without HCA, nothing matters once you’ve clinched a spot.

    I saw they are giving advantages to the teams that should have HCA.

    They just said on Golic and Wingo that it was a 29-1 vote to resume the season in Orlando using this format. And that one vote against, was from Portland.

    Portland wasn't against coming back to play. They just thought there were other options on the table that were better.

    So no advantages to those teams that should have HCP?

    1.) To be #1

    2.) They would rather play the 8th seeded team than the 7th or 6th. An easier series maybe

    3.) They don't have to face certain teams till WCF

    4.) Bragging rights

    I thought I saw more time outs and procession of the ball to start last 3 quarters.

    More likely Orl and Mia would play each other and we would get Lakers twice. Sounds exactly like something the League would do you the Blazers.

    I would have to picket the Commissioner’s office if they do that.

    Might be better for us as the Lakers could rest Davis and LeBron at that point.

    Would they though. They want to get the Blazers back for Kobe night. Not to mentioned when they play the Blazers their stars always play if able. They relish the chance to beat us.
