Playoff hope is still alive

Nuggets want that pick and that means they need to win against the Jazz to get Rockets in the playoffs. Nuggets going to go all out.

 

8th seed is the new black or 1st seed

 

Jazz at Nuggets..

Nuggets always play hardx

Mavs will also play hard..hope Barea come back

Lakers, it will be Kobe's last game, so they will play hard to win for Kobe

 

houston we have lift off to the playoff!!!

 

Nuggets is going to be real tough for the Jazz. Those guys play hard and have a couple young athletic players. Mavs could still lose out. Man, I'm getting suckered in again.

 

If Dallas beat Clippers on Sunday, they may let Jazz win to screw up Rockets.

 

Yup, they get to avoid Spurs or Warriors if they win.

 

Cole Aldrich > Howard

Dude was on clutch on both ends of the floor

 

Don't be. You say the night before of Rockets losing to the Phoenix Suns at home. Rockets are incapable of beating easy teams, and they will prove that again against the T-Wolves. Maybe the Lakers if they really don't care.

 

You guys are ridiculous. Like, actually ridiculous.
The rockets are going to play @Minnesota on a second night of a back to back.
Besides the fact that I don't see the Jazz losing another, I know Rockets will not win out.
They couldn't beat Phoenix at home. They're broken and they hope to get fixed this summer.

 

The Rockets better take care of business and lose in Minnesota. Because Utah could easily fall at home to the Mavs. Hell, they could lose at Denver too. Come to think of it, their finale at the Lakers is no guarantee either. That's Kobe's last game in the NBA. Think he wants to go out on a losing note?

Jesus, we really are gonna wind up the 8th seed and lose out on that pick, aren't we?

 

Blah. Hope we lose to the Lakers so sense in extending this embarrassment. I would rather not see Corey Brewer in a Rockets jersey any longer than I have to.

 

Nuggets even beat Spurs tonight..so nuggets is still good enough to beat jazz

 

Guys we lost to a bottom 5 team in the Pheonix Suns in virtually an elimination game at home. I'd suggest you all take the players' mentality and "chill".

 

Utah may lose all the remaining games. This team sucks.

 

If the Jazz and Rockets tie for the 8th seed who does the tiebreaker goto?

 

What needs to happen to tie the Mavericks: If we win out the Mavs must lose 2 out of 3 (remaining schedule @Clippers, @Jazz, vs Spurs)

What needs to happen to tie the Jazz: If we win out the Jazz must lose 1 out of 3 (@Nuggets, vs Mavs, @Lakers).

Tiebreaker Scenarios:

The H2H series is tied between the Rockets and Mavericks. Against the Mavs, the tiebreaker would be better division record. The Mavs are 7-8 in division, the Rockets are 8-8. The Mavs could end up 8-8 with a win against the Spurs to close out the season. The next tiebreaker would be Conference record. Assuming we win out and the Mavs lose 2 (which is what we need to tie them), then we would win the tiebreaker.

The H2H series is also tied between the Rockets and Jazz. Assuming we win out, we will easily have the tie breaker here (Conference record).

Sunday Schedule: Rockets vs Lakers, Mavs @ Clippers, Jazz @ Nuggets. If the Rockets win and Mavs lose, regardless of what happens in the Jazz game, we are then guaranteed to make playoffs IF we win out. This is because we would be 1 game back of both and the Mavs play the Jazz Monday. We would have the tiebreaker over both teams as mentioned above.

 

Utah may lose all games, but the Rockets might too. Man we suck.

 

The Nuggets have Faried out for the tank and are based on two rookies, and two sophomores. It's very unlikely they will beat the Jazz.

I have become a Nuggets "fan" because of the tankathon. lol.

The Nuggets beat not the real Spurs. Parker, LMA, Kawhi and Green were all OUT. And they still just barely won. With almost everyone playing well esp Nurkic.
