    I don't say tank (purposely lose or miss shots).

    But I do say I want to see a lot of minutes from Moochie, Braggs, Bowen and Padget (or Vin if he is off IR) the next 2 games. Turn the dogs loose I say (I want them to play hard).
    Call that what you want.

    It is no different than pulling your bench with a huge lead or huge deficit. There are no more goals left from the regular season so I say treat the last 2 games like blow out 4th quarters.

    I'm like most people so far...prefer Seattle, but not so much that I would want to tank. Just play to win, as normal, with no tanking losertalk, and cut TMac's minutes to the low 30s for the last two games.

    the western conference standings are now in place and we will play dallas...a match up i really dont like to be honest. due to the fact that dallas is now playing some defense since avery johnson took over. dallas has always been able to run the floor and score consitently but now they are doing what they have been lacking in the past. the key to our success is going to be Yao!!! Yao always has an advantage against his opponents and is more then likely the best center in the west heading to the playoffs. Yao has to realize that he is the biggest player on the court and play aggressively!!! if yao plays better the offense flows better and the passing improves causing open shots. trust me if yao can step it up in the playoffs dallas will have to adjust to that and some people are going to be open! and you know tracy is going to bring his A game. and you know all the role players are pumped up for the playoffs!!! the key will be yao through out the entire playoffs. if hes not a factor and doesnt make dallas pay we will lose:) but i have a good feeling about this!!!;)
