    The momentum is starting to build and I think we're poised to take over the 6th Seed at the end of Play on march 5. The standings will be:

    LAL 44-17
    NO 42-17
    SAS 43-18
    PHX 42-19
    UTAH 42-20
    HOU 40-20
    Dal 39-22

    This illustrates just how competitive the West is.


    Our schedule:
    Chicago
    Washington
    Mephis
    Denver
    indiana
    We will take all 5, resulting in a record of 40-20

    Dallas' Schedule
    @Minesota
    Chicago
    @SA
    Sacramento
    @Lakers
    @Utah
    Weakened by the Kidd acquisition and facing a brutal schedule, the Mav's will go 3-3, resulting in a record of 39-22. This sets up a huge March 6 game Houston @ Dallas.

    Utah's Schedule
    @ Clippers
    Atlanta
    @Minnesota
    Detroit
    @New Orleans
    @Memphis
    Dallas
    Minnesota
    Utah is just as hot as we are and will take 6 or 7 of these8 games. I think they go 7-1 in this stretch, despite several B2B games. This results in a 42-20 record.

    NO's Schedule
    @SA
    Washington
    Phoenix
    Utah
    @Washington
    @NY Knicks
    Atlanta
    NO goes 6-2 in this stretch, resulting in a 43-18 record.


    SA Schedule
    New Orleans
    ATL
    Dallas
    @Milwaukee
    @NJ
    NJ

    SAS hit their usual stride, run th table on these 6 games, resulting in a record of 42-17.


    PHX Schedule
    Boston
    Detroit
    @Memhis
    @NO
    Philadelphia
    @Portland
    @Denver

    I think Phoenix struggles a litle, but run off 5-2 in this stretch, putting them at 42-19.

    LA Lakers' Schedule
    @Clippers
    @Sseattle
    Portland
    Miami
    @Portland
    Dallas
    @Sacramento
    The Lakers run the table on these 7 games, thereby extending their own winning streak to 13. This puts the Lakers in the Top Seed at 44-17

    (for what it's worth, the GSW is about to run off 5-6 games in a row and Denver is about to hit a nightmarish part of the schedule.

    you forgot the fact that utah is division leader and theres no way their #5 as long as they're leading their division. But if rockets can get to #5, I would sure like to see a rm of last years playoffs.
