    Philly scares me more than any team on here...We all know Dallas a L...Miami is a beatable game...We need PPat to start against Miami and Dallas to win those

    NOLA has 4 games against MEM and PHX, I hope they either sweep (especially MEM) or get swept, after that we can take care of the rest ourselves.

    If we beat Miami, then every other game looks winnable. We have to pull another "Garden Game" and avoid another "Philadelphia Game." 46 six is the magic number.

    Forget targeting anyone. Just win our games. We can't make anyone lose by wishing for it. We have to get at least 7 and probably 8 or 9 wins to make the playoffs. Our playoffs have just started a little before everyone else's.

    Dallas may not have anything to play for at that point. Also, this Rockets team is on fire and won't concede to anyone.

    yall act like New Orleans can't drop past Memphis?

    honestly?

    i think Memphis get's the 7 seed and we get the 8 seed

    New Orleans misses the playoffs.

    Yeah, Rockets and Spurs are not in the same division too

    Spurs are in the one with Lakers, Celtics, Heat and Jazz:eek:

    Our schedule is tougher than the two other teams'. I'm not holding much hope, what a darn shame. This team would have been fun to watch.

    I doubt Dallas will lay down and let Houston in the playoffs if they have something to do with it....I think they learned they're lesson back when they let Golden State in by resting their starters and then lose to them in round 1....If I were Cuban , I wouldnt lay down especially to a division rival

    After last nights games, here are the combined win percentages of the teams each team is facing:

    Houston - .502
    Memphis - .491
    New Orleans - .553

    We did have an easier schedule than Memphis, but now that they've got Boston out of the way that's changed. After their next 2 games that number is going to drop a lot more to .421, whereas ours will remain the same after our next 2 games.

    Keep winning our games and just hope Memphis loses what they're supposed to, as well as a few more, and New Orleans goes on a nice losing streak to end the season.

    You're all forgetting that Memphis plays NO twice, that's two guaranteed losses and opportunity to gain ground.

    My apologies, I guess I don't pay much attention to the division standings. As a matter of fact, I only look at the conference standings. OK, so I guess I need to start looking at the Division standings since it comes into play for tie breakers-thanks

    OK, I made a mistake. No need to call someone a fool. I just look at the Conference standings and don't pay attention to the division records. I can see that was a mistake.

    That's true, somebody has to lose.
