At least GSW and POR are already ahead of us so we can't go sliding further down in the standings tonight. Silver linings?
The biggest silver lining though is there is no hiding in the West. No matter who you get it's going to be a dog fight. Rockets are still what...3 games behind the top seeds and 3 games ahead of the teams below. I mean if the playoffs started tonight I'd take the Grizzlies. That's fine with me, we've played good against them this season.
Man...Lillard was in video game mode in the 4th. Just making everything. Aldridge kind of sucked in crunch time today, blowing layups and easy shots. The Lakers's d on pick and rolls was bad, Lin runs into screens and their bigs are too slow to effectively blitz Lillard, but not sure if a better D could have slowed Lillard much if he's hitting this kind of shots.
The silver lining is if GS ends up being a high seed and plays one of OKC/Spurs in the first round. The worst thing is that if GS ends up a higher seed than Houston, he'll most likely get the nod for MVP over James
