    up 5 . . . with a minute . .. .
    Denver takes a quick 3 pts - 11 seconds on the clock
    Get the rebound - throws it out to a guy that throws up another 3 within 2 seconds

    WTF Denver? You don't want to win?
    Now you foul Dame Lillard

    This lose by Portland helps us

    Cleveland just gave GSW a scare, so Spurs' remaining fixture does not look like a done deal.

    Cleveland at home and Dallas is no pushover. They have weird games where they knock down everything.

    Spurs do scare nobody right now.

    Carusco probably doesn't have a real NBA contract because he's 25 but looks 45. If this guy would get a decent haircut and shave he would probably be a 2nd string PG somewhere.

    Rockets can’t face the Blazers in the 2nd round now.

    Clips screwed the pooch tonight in losing to the Lakers. Not sure they’ll win either of the last two against GSW or Utah.

    Rockets are probably going to have to beat OKC to avoid them in the 1st round.

    Well at least it's in the Rockets hands.. I just wonder if the Thunder would rather play the Rockets over GSW or Denver. Denver swept OKC. Not sure about their GSW season record.

    I'm just worried if Rockets go hard to win the last game of the season, someone will get hurt like Luc last year.

    1-2 against Golden State; got embarassed last time. Guessing they would rather finish 6th/7th and avoid the Dubs.

    Injury is definitely a concern, but at this point, we probably need to beat them to avoid them.

    As much as I don't want the Rockets to play OKC, Pop always has MDA's number in the playoffs. OKC is more dangerous because Russ can open all nine gates, however I don't trust MDA coaching against the Spurs. Plus, Spurs have more shooting than OKC.

    If I had a choice between Spurs and OKC, I might choose OKC.

    Clippers really dropped the ball tonight. Their schedule is not pretty with a road game against the Warriors and then hosting the Jazz (who may be resting, we will see).

    It looks like that Rockets game in OKC is going to prove to be very important, but Rockets won't have the last say with all the games on the schedule for Wednesday. Teams can shuffle as they need to.

    I don't like the fear that many of you have against certain teams. Who gives a **** who we face.

    Maybe on Utah resting. If Portland loses again to Denver, Jazz and Blazers will be fighting over that 4th seed.
