Ugh. What a situation. Without Gasol, Grizz are on a 4-game winning streak and have tied us for the 6th playoff spot. If they win tonight and we lose, we'll not only be behind them, but 1 full game behind them. On the other hand, if they lose tonight, Sacramento wins. That means that we will not gain any ground on Sacramento. So, who do you want to win, and why? Personally, I want Memphis to lose. I'm feeling more pressure from them as they try to move up than I am from Sacramento trying to pull away from us. But my opinion on this seems to be changing every 5 minutes or so. I wish they could both lose. -- droxford
Have to root for the Kings. Mainly, the Rockets can't afford to slip to 7. That would mean either the Suns or the Spurs. Not that I think the Suns are a definite playoff championship contender, but playing them in the 1st round is different than later on. Conversly, moving up to #5 would be cool, but is not nearly as important as not slipping to #7, imo. Also, since we will be playing the Kings soon, we can give them that loss you want, hopefully.
you root for the Kings now, to get space from the Grizz - we get a crack at taking the 5th spot later this week
cuttino and miller are out. Not sure about peja though. mY fantasy team is suffering Mobley Miller Jamison Hill All out tonight *sniff* And I already had to drop tinsley for his damn foot
Got to root for the Kings. If Grizz win and we lose we fall to 7th and have to face the Suns or Spurs. Dont want that to happen.
Griz- great depth, on a great roll. I am pulling for them to lose (not for Sac to win). (I am also looking for some mile high losing.)
bibby with a miracle 3 at the buzzer to win it. or did he? the inbounds was clearly tipped but the clock didn't start until bibby caught it. bibby released the 3 with 0.6 left so if the ball took longer than .6 from the tip to bibby's hand it should be no good. fratello is arguing that and the ref says that a tip takes 0.3 seconds. fratello is almost stunned into silence as he realizes the ref just quoted how long a tip takes on a final shot even though this was not how long a tip took, but how long from the time it was tipped until it got to bibby. i don't know how long it took but my guess is it was just slightly longer than .6. anyway, the ref that made that stupid comment for the tv to hear, then just went over to the scoerer's table, signalled good and said "game's over" as if he was frustrated from arguing with the czar and just wanted to go home. as if he should be mad and not fratello for that lameass explanation. oh well, memphis lost so i'm happy but i think they got screwed.
