    Our game against the Clippers will be huge. We are still very much capable of making it to 3rd seed. Meanwhile, the Blazers are struggling without their best player. By the end of the season, hope we face Blazers or Warriors in the 1st rd.

    I somewhat agree with the fans who are saying that it doesn't matter who we face in the playoffs from here on out since we are already one of the contenders but i'm just worried that if we ever get to the WCF or dare i say it, the finals, facing the top contenders in the West early, we'd be dead tired by then.

    Current Standings (as of Today)

    1 - SAS 54-16
    2 - OKC 52-18
    3 - LAC 50-21
    4 - HOU 48-22
    5 - POR 45-27
    6 - GSW 44-27
    7 - MEM 42-28
    8 - PHX 42-29
    9 - DAL 42-29

    10 - MIN 34-35


    - Let's focus on LAC/HOU/POR/GSW/MEM and their remaining games to get a better picture on who will end up in 5th or 6th seed because odds are, we will end up in either 4th or 3rd seed by the end of the regular season and will face the 5th or 6th placed team

    - I will include my predictions and also try to update the standings and results daily

    Pretty good predictions Sparks. I think we will win against the Clippers today and also beat the Nuggets. I think we will only lose 2 games the rest of the way. Losing to the Thunder and Spurs.

    We need the players.

    If we have them and Bev is back guarding Lillard its a done deal.

    Wolves are 37-37, my bad. Not enough games left for them to catch up anyway.

    The Rockets magic number is 6 wins(6-2 in our last 8) to automatically claim 4th seed.

    We can also go 5-3 in our final 8 games but the Blazers would have to win out their remaining 6 games to catch us since we own the tie breaker. Golden State aren't much of a threat for 4th since the highest they can finish is 53 wins, that's if they go 7-0 from here on out.

    Still confident that we stay 4th at the end of the regular season with home court advantage against Portland in the 1st round.
