They're only 3 games in back of Minnesota & 1½ games in back of San Antonio, with 10 games left to play. Memphis is one of the hottest teams in the NBA at this time & they're moving up fast. The records over the last 10 games are: Memphis (8-2) San Antonio (6-4) Minnesota (5-5) As for head-to-head tie breakers, Memphis finished their series with San Antonio 3-1 & are 1-1 against Minnesota, with 2 more games to go (1 @ Minnesota & 1 @ home (the last game)). You've got to tip your hat to Memphis this year. I wonder what they could be doing with a dominant center?
Not a chance with Yao, but Cato for Battier/Swift? Too bad it'll never happen. Correction to my first post: Memphis is now only 2½ games behind Minnesota & 1 game behind San Antonio. Memphis has won 11 of their last 13 games. The noose continues to tighten. Feeling any pressure Minnesota?
It's really pissing me off that Memphis is doing this good. It makes me even angrier when they barely lose in this stretch of the season and the rox are losing to teams like phoenix and seattle.
