Lakers r now in 7th seed, which means we're chasing NOK. IMO they aren't gonna gain that 7th back. What does this mean for us? Better chance at 8th or am i just being hopeful? Any feedback is appreciated....
I'll say it again: The Kings are the REAL 8th seed we should worry about. Very shortly, they will push past the Hornets and become the team we are chasing. In fact, they could push past the Lakers and become #7, which means the Lakers are the team we are chasing for the final playoff berth.
Agree NOK will fall out of the playoff hunt and Sac will likely be the 8th seed. LA is coming, you can't ignore those wins against the Spurs and Pistons and SAC is playing better post Artest. Its going to be tough to catch two 2 teams that are playing much better without having T-Mac.
The Kings have a schedule just as tough as ours. They play Dallas, Lakers & Clippers twice. April 4 -7, they're @Mavs, @SA & @Clips. Basically the 2 teams that get it going between the Lakers, Kings & Rox will get the last 2 playoff spots. I don't Utah will make a charge & NO is fading. We can do it!!!
Yao has stepped up but he is not the only one we need to step up. I hope our guys in the back court can muster up some big cajones and start contributing.
Funny how everybody always talks about the Kings, or Rockets taking over #8 and NO is going to fall out but ..... nobody every thinks UTAH can get in or remain ahead of us (even though I dont like them)
why not? it's not time yet to be in despair. Let's see how Yao can handle this situation(without t-mac).
