We win all our games, and hope Dallas is tied with lakers on their last game for the 2nd spot so NO loses that game too.
My gut is telling me that we may end up with same record as NO I think they beat Phoenix Utah and their last game the ****ing Mavericks I hope I'm wrong though.

Man, I hate how you guys overlook all the other games against sub-.500 teams. These teams have nothing to lose, so they're equally as dangerous. It's going to be a stressful, gut-wrenching two weeks. It would be amazing,a nd I mean AMAZING if we win out.
Well Portland is about to beat the Thunder so we can cross them off the list of free falling out of the playoffs.
I don't believe anyone had them on that list in the first place. We were actually depending on them pull through for us in games against Memphis and New Orleans...
A few people did. They have a tough schedule remaining and came into the picture of falling out once they tied New Orleans but they were short lived on the belief of potentially falling out since they won tonight.
Aldridge in the post game interview just now said that after seeing Houston win tonight, they had to up their intensity to get a win.
Yep, that was a pretty big win for Portland. They'd pretty much have to lose out now, which isn't impossible with their schedule but looking very unlikely now. I think New Orleans is probably our best hope, however small, now with Memphis having 4 of 6 games against losing teams coming up. Unless Kevin Love can deliver a shocker tomorrow against Memphis I don't see Memphis as in play. Memphis is 9-4 against their remaining competition this season with 3 of those losses to NO and Portland. So it will take a couple of huge shockers to bring Memphis back into play.
Here's one from the Rockets' 1986 playoff run. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cAMLa5ZC-B4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Problem is if they are resting their players for playoffs, in case they have no chance at topping the Lakers, they will be doing the same thing against NO... And if they are still playing hard we'd have to pull a big shocker.
Minnesota has cut a 17 point deficit down to 8 with about 8 minutes to go. Wolves are winning the 2nd half thus far...so there may slim hope for a comeback.
