    That would be sick but now that Kobe is out, they are really tough to beat. No more hero ball at the end of games to give you a chance.

    The good news is that if GS loses @Portland, you can still lose and get the #7 seed (LAL would be #6, HOU #7, GS #8)

    Oh wait, NVM, I guess LAL can't catch GS now that they won tonight. So basically LAL is #7 or #9, and HOU is #6 or #8.

    Final one:

    Houston is:
    #6 if they win and GS loses
    #7 if they win and GS wins
    #8 if they lose

    GS is:
    #6 if they win or HOU loses
    #7 if they lose and HOU wins

    LAL is:
    #7 if they win
    #8 if they lose and UTH loses
    #9 if they lose and UTH wins

    UTH is
    #8 if they win and LAL loses
    #9 if they lose or LAL wins

    I think that's right.

    The Rockets will treat that game as game 1 of the playoffs and pull the upset. Have they announce the refs for the game? Wonder if Crawford will do the game.

    Oh man, I hope so much that the Rockets outplay the Lakers and they really have to dig deep into the refs pockets for this one. This fiasco needs to be exposed earlier than later.

    But, that said, without Kobe chucking away, they are so much tougher to beat that they may not need to pull out their usual tricks.

    I just hope Utah pulls off a miracle before and beats Memphis so the stakes are really high.

    So Celtics vs Pacers is canceled tomorrow due to the explosions. Will they just play 81 games? I guess it's not that big of a deal considering they're already locked in their playoff seeds.

    According to Yahoo, the game won't be rescheduled since both their playoff seeding have been locked. So they will play 81 games only.

    That's kinda unfair considering they will have more rest than their opponents.

    well, sometimes it's just going to be unfair. I think it was the right thing to do.
