    warriors vs pelicans/thunder
    spurs vs mavs
    clippers vs grizzlies
    blazers vs rockets

    If the Rockets win out then the chance of finishing:
    2nd is 46%
    3rd is 22%
    5th is 28%
    6th is 4%

    Rockets will go 2-1 tops, Jazz or NoP is a sure loss.

    Jazz are starting to rest their players. Burke is out as well.

    Win tonight and we win out. Charlotte has mailed it in and is resting their top players. And Utah has nothing to play for on Wednesday.

    Grizzlies may as well lose to Indiana (they are desperate to win and make PO's), Spurs may lose to Pelicans and even Suns on a bad day.

    Yet, we may lose all 3 as well.

    I hope it's not the Clips. Do you want to see 7-games of us hacking DeAndre and them hacking Smith and Dorsey? Both teams just walking end-to-end and clanking free throws?

    The league needs to do something about the intentional hacking away from the ball cuz it's not basketball and fans aren't paying the big bucks for seats to watch a bunch horrendous free throw shooters decide a game. It's unwatchable.

    ^^^Good.

    On the big stage, national television, ...then NBA might do something about HAP.

    I was kinda hoping McHale would return the "favor" Friday night but didn't happen.

    You like this hacking? Good, we'll make this a hack & free throw contest!

    Between the whining and flopping and HAP, media and fans alike are gonna 'love' this series! :grin:

    Two teams hacking each other is more fun to watch than just one-sided hacking.

    Easy to make. It's one free-throw by player who was hacked and ball for fresh 24.

    I hope we ending up at 3rd seed, and face Memphis. If not, 5th seed, face Portland... These two scenarios re only chances we can advance to next round.

    Clips will kill us in 5games......:(

    I'd rather face the Clippers in the 1st round than the Grizzlies. :rolleyes:

    Grizzlies are playing badly and are limping, gladly take them over Clippers!

    Off the ball fouls in penalty situation--the fouledteam should get to decide whether they want the FTs or throw it in.
