    Blazers won't lose to the Jazz. Gotta beat Minnesota.

    Pacers vs Heat winner will probably decide Eastern conference homecourt

    Spurs will be without Duncan and Parker, while PHX will likely miss Dragic with a twisted ankle. Bledsoe has to explode finally and nobody out of Morris twins, Green, Frye and Tucker can have an off night.

    Tucker-Leonard will be a fun matchup as both are pure defensive wings. Bledsoe will probably contain Mills, but has to excel on offense. D.Green will give G.Green fits on defense...so many problem matchups for Suns.

    miami might be wise to just lose and avoid bulls/nets in round 2

    Dallas has only two games left. If they lose both will they be out of the playoffs?

    Most likely, but that really depends on what Memphis and Phoenix does. Dallas has the tie-breaker over Memphis already at 2-0 or 3-0, so that's a big deal.

    Ra-shart Lewis is turrible... no idea how he plays ahead of Beas and even James Jones.

    Suns currently shooting 62% from the floor...they really want that 8th seed (maybe even 7th?). I'm so happy they didn't crumble in last few games before the playoffs like Dragic-led Rockets from two years ago...

    Unless I'm reading the box score wrong, the Spurs have Parker back, but are resting Duncan and Manu. I wonder who they'll suit up for their game with us on Monday.

    Exactly. Parker has an off shooting night so far though. I hope it stays that way.

    Duncan has a mild ACL sprain, so he will probably rest until the playoffs unless for some reason Spurs is in danger of losing 1st seed to OKC.

    However if Spurs end 1st and PHX 8th, that will be a tough matchup for Spurs. They don't like athletic teams who play fast pace (PHX, OKC...)

    Spurs probably want the Suns in 7 to play OKC. That would be a dogfight. Suns won the series 2-1, play with no fear, and matchup extremely well with OKC.

    Btw, off-topic...Popovich rests four starters and gets fined. Vogel rests whole starting five and nobody blinks an eye. Miami has been leaving starters on the bench for almost all season, and nobody gives a damn.

    Pop probably got fined because it was a marquee game and he didn't announce it well ahead of time. It was sort of a dick move, but that's how he rolls.
