    I think it would be sweet if the Lakers didn't make the playoffs.

    Too bad the Clips are about to lose to the Hornets.

    I've always knew he was a clutch player. I remember watching him play against the Rockets one time and just making one long ranged jumper after another, and when it came down to the wire, the results were no different. We still won that game though. :D

    I'm 100% rooting for the Clips. Unfortunately the force on the Hornets is too strong, they are now 7-0 in overtime, scary!

    This brings to the Rockets another dilemma in Saturday's game. :(

    I am rooting for the Clippers, I've always been partial to them just cause they are seen as the other team and not as good as the Lakers.

    Brand is a great player and deserves to get in

    Yeah, there was a chance that the Lakers would slip behind both Clippers and Warriors. Now it's not very likely, 2 games ahead with 4 games to play. But then, keeping the Lakers out of the lottery is also sweet. They aren't going to do any damage in the playoffs anyway.

    Yup, it sucks that they won. Now they will play hard against the Rockets. Oh, well, Utah will lose to Denver, Dallas and Phoenix anyways.

    Go Hornets, anything to get the Warriors into the 8th spot is a good thing. They're probably the one lower tier team that might steal a game or two from Dallas and put up a fight.

    Warriors will sweep Dallas off their feet and onto the street if they make the playoffs.

    I am calling it right now ( 4 - 11 - 07 ), if it is Warriors vs Mavs in 1st round.

    Warriors will win in 5.

    Take it to the bank.

    Note: All you haters will say wah wah wah, the warriors don't play defense. SOO WHAT.. if you haven't noticed by now, the mavs offense consists entirely of shooting jumpers... the type of defense they face really doesn't affect them at all.

    If you look at the remaining schedule it might be warriors at #7 and lakers at #8.

    Seeing as GS is mini-Pheonix, that might not be such a good thing for the Rockets...

    LAL have the tiebreaker on GS, it would be tough to make up 3 games with 4 to play (need 4-0, 1-3 finish, or 3-1, 0-4 finish).

    I don't think anybody wants to see the Golden State right now with the way they're playing. No, they won't pull off any monumental upsets but they have the weapons, the coach and the momentum to make a team like Dallas sweat.

    You are certifiably out of your mind. "the type of defense they face really doesn't affect them at all". So whoever guards Dirk, Josh Howard, Stack, Jason Terry, etc has no effect on their offense? Get real.

    Mavs will defeat the Warriors in the first round in 4-6 games people screaming an upset are just crazy.
