    Okay, it's been mentioned in here already but it's time to add Dallas

    OP, I think you should add your predictions since you've been pretty good so far (especially with Utah!) but here are mine anyway

    Mar 30 vs Chicago - Loss (Chicago has some new confidence after beating Miami
    Apr 2 @ Los Angeles - Win (Most important game. Both teams need this bad but Dallas is healthier)
    Apr 4 @ Denver - Loss (In Denver, they are just the better team plain and simple. Only chance Dallas has is if Lawson is out)
    Apr 5 @ Sacramento - Win (The kings have been playing better as of late but I think Dallas will pull this one out)
    Apr 7 @ Portland - Win (Might be tough in the Rose Garden but Dallas will win)
    Apr 10 vs Phoenix - Win (Finally at home again, against bottom of the western conference)
    Apr 12 vs Denver - Loss (Again, Denver is just the better team. Ty Lawson should be healthy by now)
    Apr 14 @ New Orleans - Win (Another bottom west team, should be a win)
    Apr 15 vs Memphis - Win (The Grizz are tough, but the Mavs are at home and will most likely NEED this one. I say they pull it out)
    Apr 17 vs New Orleans - Win (Trap game written all over it, easy team at home, last game of the season, should be a win. I think it will be a close game, Mavs down in the 4th but they come back and win it)

    So I'm thinking they go 7-3 over their final 10. Hopefully it's enough to knock the Leakers out

    No Miami in the finals, I'm pretty sure Pacers, Bulls or Celtics will eliminate them. They just suck against good defensive teams, who can rebound.

    I hate Lakers, Mavs, Jazz almost equally.

    Jazz are boring as hell, I don't want them to make playoffs.

    I'd rather watch Kobe's amazing play and the Lakers lose in the playoffs than the Mavs in the 1st round...so I hope Lakers make the playoffs, kobe plays great and they basically lose..bad

    I have no fondness for these three teams either, but since I want the Lakers and Mavs to miss the playoffs, I guess I have to vote Jazz here.

    I agree with your sentiment except I would rather the Lakers don't make the playoffs so Houston has a better chance to pry D-Ho from LA. Not likely, I know, but a man can dream.

    you know something ive just been stuck in the every day thing...wondering whats going to happen. Even in this thread just tracking it daily with the warriors, and how we arent catching up to them.

    Morey on the other hand keeps saying the most likely scenario is we finish 6th seed. I kept wondering why then i did the math.

    golden state will likely win no more than 5 more games. giving them 46 wins.
    They play a brutal last 4 games.

    Id say at worst rockets have 7 wins in them by the schedule. Very easily 8 maybe even 9. But lets go with safe ole 7.

    That puts the rockets at 46 wins.

    The rockets hold the tie breaker.

    My prediction is rockets with the 6th seed with either 46 or 47 wins. Facing the clippers at the 3rd seed.

    be nice if rockets could snag this clippers game. I think this game while not absolutely necessary to land the 6th seed. It would all but assure it.

    You guys are pretty optimistic. We've lost to every team but Orlando remaining on our schedule. We could easily end up 42-40 or worse.

    Not that optimistic. We will be the vegas favorite in most of those games.
