    Yes baby, just got over all the combos yesterday, but forgot to post. Al that was needed for us to clinch a playouff spot was a Texas sweep of the Thur/Fri schedule. Dallas did its part, it's now time for the Rox and San Antonio! Go Texas!

    Mathematically speaking, we cannot clinch tomorrow even with us beating the Nuggets & Spurs beating the Blazers. Dever will be 41-38, could end up with 44-38. The Jazz could end up with 44-38 as well. So there will be three way ties, we will lose conference tie-break to both of those teams, hence miss the playoff.

    Denver will finish at 7th due to its 3-1 over the Jazz;
    Jazz will finish 8th due to its better conference record.
    We will be 2-2 against both of them, but have worse record against West conference teams.

    But, we all know neither the Jazz, nor the Nuggets will win all of their remaining games, so a win tomorrow will be enough to get us a playoff spot, just not mathematically yet!:D

    that's not right Kayman.

    If The rockets beat denver and SA beats Portland, then Portland can only tie the Rockets, thus we knock them out since we have the season edge 3 games to 1.

    The only thing we can do is knock out Portland, with help from the Spurs.

    All we need to do is win our next 2 games(Denver & @Utah) and we will clinch the 7th seed.

    There's already a magic number thread. We don't need a new one every day.
