Playoff Chase Update

Looks like he won't miss any games from what I'm reading on twitter.

Chaning Frye however, just dislocated his shoulder.

Grizzlies with a 41 point quarter. Wow.

 

Dirk with a game winner and OKC holds on in OT....

Its a good day to be a Rocket

 

Nope...

 

I spoke to soon...

Z-BO sunk a game winner with 2 ticks left...damn

 

wow what a shot by Z-Bo

 

That Randolph shot was ridiculous.

Nash blew that play for Suns. He had time. No need to rush the 3 at the end.

 

suns lost

 

Memphis won

 

Grizzlies win

 

nearly right dirk nearly won

 

I got all excited when he drained it and rushed to CF...then Z-BO had to ruin everything

 

We aren't catching Memphis anyway. NOH, PHO, UTA need to tank out for us to get in, which is very plausible.

 

If Z-Bo didn't make that shot, we would have been 2 games within Memphis. They're playing the Thunder tomorrow. We hold the tiebreaker against them. If we're catching anyone, it's Memphis

 

I see UTAH and PHX dropping out. We will need 1 more team out of Mem/Noh/Por/Den

I saw Memphis as best possibility because of tie-breaker, but right now they are playing great. NOH can fall if Paul is about to miss some serious time because they have decently tough schedule.. Portland has tough schedule, but they are tough team.

I guess, we just gotta keep winning and that's really all what we can do.

 

Memphis sucks, c'mon Dallas...

 

Portland's the one I'm looking at. Tougher ending schedule than Memphis, and they are last on Hollinger's Playoff Odds rank to make it. We've got a huge uphill road to toe unfortunately.

 

The team we have the best chance of catching is Memphis. Pho and Utah are givens in that we would have to leap frog them anyway to get to Memphis. Them beating the Mavericks tonight is a crucial blow.

 

Worst case scenario for today just happened...
