    Good job, good effort LA.

    Portland wins again.

    (vs) Miami on Saturday; (@) Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

    If clippers wanted to trap first why wouldn't they alert the refs first?

    Can't believe Portland won this one. It seems like one of Lillard/Batum/Alridge will always hit a buzzer beater.

    Is there any way for us to get the 4 seed without winning our division?

    think about how much better Aldridge, Love, and duncan would make the clippers. now put griffin on those teams and there is a decent sized drop off in how those teams would perform.

    Have a better record as the 5th seed then the 5th seed will have home court advantage.

    Clippers let this one get away. Tough loss but maybe the adversity somehow makes them stronger.

    Portland remains on a roll. My appreciation of Terry Stotts continues to grow.

    Haha not even close, but it's ok, I get that you don't actually watch the Clippers and think that Griffin is just a dunker. I have no problem with casual fans like you, but it's not worth my time educating you. Get a book or something.

    Keep this in mind: If the 5th seed has a better record than a 4th seed division winner, the 5th seed has home-court advantage.

    In other words, it's like actually being the 4th seed.

    Don't sweat it.

    Yeah, it's identical to having the 4 seed. But if the Rockets want to move up to the top 3, they need the Blazers to drop (assuming Spurs and OKC continue to dominate).

    he's a bit more versatile than just a dunker. the problem is there are other PFs with vastly larger skill sets.

    Rockets NEED to move up. It seems all the top teams can beat the clippers except the Rockets. Do not want to meet them in the first round.

    Benefit of the doubt. Until they miss the playoffs.

    No. They are discussing OKC, Spurs, Blazers, Rockets, Clippers.

    The Rockets can beat the Clippers with home court. Both of the losses came during the horrible Asik/Howard experiment.
