    If we keep the Lakers from getting into the playoffs, this season will be an A+ for me even if we get swept out of the playoffs. It's already a success enough just to make it to the playoffs.

    Somehow though, it's tough to see us beating the Dark Lord of the Sith.

    Man I hope Harden is OK. Dude was ran into the ground this season. We were never really gonna make it out of the 1st round, but it could be ugly.

    Hope we get the win, but I see Howard and Gasol mauling our frontcourt. Is that why Asik got so little burn against the Suns?

    I think Asik will do alright because Howard won't step out and shoot. That's what he usually has trouble with, dudes that can space the floor and shoot a midrange.

    I'm just worried about Pau Gasol. Dude is going to eat us alive. We have no power forwards who can match up with him.

    This is why I want to win this so badly. I would almost rather win this than a playoff series, which we won't do anyway unless we play the Spurs. Then we have a chance. This would be so sweet to knock the Lakers out of the playoffs. Highlight of the year.

    David Stern has decided that our perimeter players are going to miss all their shots, let it be done

    According to LA Radio, D'Antoni is resting his starters if the Jazz lose. If that really is the case and the Jazz do in fact lose, we should win this one.

    Let's go Rockets!

    Why would he want to face OKC? Spurs are so vulnerable right now

    D'Antoni doesn't know what rest is. And even if the Jazz lose, Lakers could still be fighting for 7th seed and a matchup against the Spurs.

    I think Blake, Gasol and Howard all are going to have good games. They match up well against us. Gonna be tough. If the Rockets lose, they'll go into the playoffs slumping.

    That would be so anticlimatic if true.

    This makes no sense. D'antoni would get so much flak for not playing for 7th seed.

    Tank, tank, tank this game to secure the #7 seed in order to play San Antonio in the first round.
