    But will we turn the corner regardless of what happens?

    What if the Mavs tank their last game to move down from the 7th to 8th seed and then proceed to beat the Warriors in the first round? That would be the most epic revenge story.

    I actually think Mavs has better chance of beating GSW than Jazz so it would be better for them to have the 8th seed.

    Mavs have a tougher schedule, but last game against Spurs will be interesting. Spurs may rest up, but if knowing that Mavs gets 7th and face Spurs, they may not let them win easily. So Spurs may be able to pick their playoff opponent with that game if it gets close.

    Interesting they have the Warriors last game. If the Dubs have the record in the books, do they rest everyone and let the Griz win the 8th seed?

    Wouldn't it be nice that we are up at least one game against both Utah and Dallas so that the game between the two clinches a playoff spot for us since the loser would be 2 back with only 1 game to go?

    If we lose it needs to be against Chicago and as few of the remaining western teams so we can get the the tiebreaker if needed for better conference record.....

    We've missed every corner so far. The playoffs are the edge of the cliff. Either we turn the corner at that point, or it's all over!

    This would be nice. I wonder if Bickerstaff can work this out. I get the impression that he thinks .500 is good.

    Rockets are a half game back of the Jazz and full game back of the Mavs. Gritty win vs OKC, maybe this sparks JB to play the young fellas more and we can finally get out of this slump. Right in time for turning some corners!

    Good things happen when you okay Kj for defense, Gouldlock for some playmaking, and Beasly needs more minutes period. The coaches need to get Beasly involved. More pick n rolls with him, he is too good!

    I'm sure this has been stated, but thank God the Jazz play the Mavs in their last game. Could end up one of them bounces the other out of the playoffs.
