Here is the sked for the 7th/8th place play-off contenders while the Rox are traveling for their five games, and it looks not very pretty: Mon Phoenix Home to Toronto (both playing 2nd of a back-to-back) Tue Rox Road @ Seattle GS Road @ Sac Utah Home to Denver Wed Utah @ Phoenix, Utah (Jazz playing 2nd of a back-to-back) Rox @ Portland, (Rox playing 2nd of a back-to-back) GS @ Seattle (both playing 2nd of a back-to-back) Fri Rox @ GS Phoenix Home to Wiz Sat Phoenix @ Dallas (Suns playing 2nd of a back-to-back) Clips @ Utah Sun Rox@ Sac (Sac playing 2nd of a back-to-back) Wiz @ GS Mon Rox @ Clips Celts @ Jazz Tue GS @ Cavs THEN Rox host Lakers and travel to Spurs in a back-to-back. If the Rox are still in contention by the end of the Spurs game, start printing play-off tickets!
Rockets wins: Seattle Golden State LA Clippers LA Lakers Rockets losses: Portland Sac S.A. So let it be written...so let it be done.
Just gettin three of those (hoping GSW is one of those to clinch that series/tiebreaker) would be sufficient... getting four wins would be gold...
