    Yes, but as bad as Phoenix is, the Lakers are worse. Even if the Rockets try to lose on Sunday, they may come away with a win. And Sactown will be without Cousins(they announced he's not playing in anymore road games this season) next Wednesday. While I fully expect the Rockets to lose to the T'Wolves on Monday, that may not be enough. The Jazz could easily fall to Denver on the road and Dallas at home. Even their finale at the Lakers could be a loss if the team rallies to send Kobe off on a high note.

    For any fans who wanted that lottery pick, this is a devastating loss by Utah tonight.

    We own the tiebreaker against Utah due to our better conference record.

    what will you do if Morey doesnt' want to pony up the price to dump him and he is still in the roster next year? :eek:
    Excellent post. Thanx for the breakdown.

    Can't believe I have to cheer for the Clips for two games in a row.:rolleyes:

    Dallas only needs one more win to secure the 7th seed. Clippers and Spurs will probably rest their starters. I don't see Dallas lose out.

    Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. This team is so frustrating, having made up my mind about not wanting them to make the playoffs, they're probably going to.

    Still the Rockets have to win. Something that they are having trouble doing lately.

    I think I read somewhere that Griffin at least will play and maybe CP3 too. Gotta look it up.

    This was the game they chose over the Lakers one to rest everyone.

    Clippers won't sit out their players @Home. Blake needs to get up to speed with the team.

    They know what happened to them when they bad match up in the Spurs last year in the playoffs. Clippers say that was the reason they lost to us because the Spurs were too tough an opponent they laid an egg against us (Whatever)

    What if Clippers would rather see GSW struggle with the Rockets (stifle your laughter please) and then maybe have a tough time in the next round (maybe lose!) then watch the Rockets out of the playoffs all together.

    OR they couldn't care less what happens to the Rockets.

    If JB or Brewer are still a part of the Rockets org next year I will pretend the Rockets don't exist.

    Hopefully smarter coach doesn't play Brewer.

    All we got to do is put the ball in the hoop, and go crazy and lose our mind on the other end of the floor to prevent the other team from putting the ball in the hoop.

    with the Mavs win tonight, you're right. Now they need to lose all 3. The loss to the Suns just got worse
