    "On a side note I just told him: `We need y'all to beat Utah,"' Harden said. "We just need some help."
    Bryant laughed when asked about Harden's request.
    "He did. He did," Bryant said. "I said `Well they beat us by 40 the last two times we played them, so third time's the charm."'
    Go laker

    If we lose and Utah wins tomorrow, then we'll be out. All other combinations will push the decision to the last day of the season.

    Just win out. I think the Lakers are as close to a lock as possible in terms of beating the Jazz. There's no way a life long gamer and one of the most competitive guys ever goes out with a Loss. Kobe has been really passive, laid back and all smiles all season but I'm pretty sure Kobe will treat this like a game 7 of the NBA finals. He'll play close to all 48 mins. I'm expecting Staples to be electric and break the attendance record. I hope he tries to go for 50 even if it means shooting 30+ shots.

    Stubhub has 2100 tickets available for Kobe's last game. Guess what the cheapest ticket is going for?

    $720 for Upper Corners

    In contrast, GSW has over 1000 tickets being sold to witness the record. Lowest is $380

    Will have to double check and I HATE rooting for the Mavs but if the Mavs win against the Jazz, wouldn't we have the tie breaker against the Jazz?

    Yes because they will let the cocky arrogant warriors back on the ground. For me they are not the greatest team until you get 6 championships.. History for the rockets to beat this idiot warriors

    We own the tie-breaker against both teams.

    If we tie either team, it will also mean they have lost the tie-breaker.

    If we tie Dallas at 41-41, we win the Division tie-breaker.
    In both combinations of tying Utah (41-41 or 40-42), we win the Conf tie-breaker.

    Lets just hope that mavs will win tom. Because mavs last game are against the spurs and probably pop will rest the old guys..

    We can lose tomorrow and still make the playoffs with a 40-42 tie against the Jazz. We win all ties with both Dallas and Utah.

    Jazz's Magic Number is 2
    Mav's Magic Number is 1

    If the jazz wins tom they are probably going to the playoffs because their last game are against the lakers. Amd we are going to root for the spurs to beat the jazz but they will probably not use the starters because its no bearing for them

    He might not rest them, because that last game could be very influential over who the Spurs play first round. If he'd rather face the Jazz or Rockets versus Dallas, he will then want to beat Dallas.

    THX!!! Yeah that's what I thought. I just don't see DAL dropping 2 games. So yeah, let's hope the Rockets win out and root for DAL to beat Utah (I think I just thew up a little)

    It's Kobe's last game. Jazz will be facing an electric crowd. Anything can happen in those last games, since all his teammates will be playing to win and the crowd will be loud. Cheapest tickets are going for $720 in the Upper Corner

    As for saying the Dallas game has no bearing on the Spurs...not true. That game will determine who they face in the first round. He might very much care about that game.

    Most probably mavs are weaker than the jazz or rockets.
