    The season almost ALWAYS ends like this for every team that the media anticipates to be competitive.

    It makes for good late-season TV.

    I actually think those are the two most winnable games, being that they are at home. Boston has struggled on WC road trips lately, too.

    ... But we have a "chance" to lose every single one of them.

    i doubt it's the computer. they have to consider in the air fair and stuff, so that is why you have a all eastern road trip, or all western road trip, or texas triangle trip, or a 5 game home stand. they also consider national tv, (what time, and day each station shows game)

    suns and utah got an easy schedule, but they may lose some games. Utah sucks at road games and suns are still still trying to click. hopefully suns don't click during their easy schedule.

    that's tough for the warriors. their miracle run last season was nothing. their record last year was 42-40. right now they are at 39 and 23, alot better than last year, but yet, they are barely in, and might not go to the playoffs since they got a tough schedule.

    When those other teams start playing contenders in succession, they can spread out the offensive load among more than one player. We are down to a single point of failure.

    If playing T-Mac 48 minutes of inspired ball is what it takes for us to beat the top teams, and we have to face 5 top shelf teams in a row, we may be in trouble.

    Spurs: Duncan, Ginobili, Parker
    Lakers: Kobe, Gasol, maybe Odom
    Mavericks: Dirk, Josh Howard, Stack, Terry
    Suns: Nash, Amare
    Denver: AI, Melo
    Golden State: BD, Monta, S-Jack
    New Orleans: CP3, D-West
    Utah: Boozer, D-Will
    Houston: T-Mac + ?

    When we play the elites, who can get their own shot/create on our team besides T-Mac? It's down to Scola, then Rafer, maybe BJax.
