Good win by the Suns, at least show some pride. If the Thunders win, it'll be a perfect night for the Rockets.
Actually, why would you want NO down? The jazz now has a better chance to overtake their 6 spot, if Houston is to beat NO, even if they beat the spurs on the road.
Wow Thunder leading the Nuggets and Mavs owning the Jazz. If they can maintain those leads, this night would be fantastic. We already tied for the 3rd seed! Come on Thunder!!
Jalen Rose: Portland has an easier schedule than Houston...Houston has tough games coming up.. Portland: Lakers, Nuggets, Thunder, Clippers Rockets: Hornets, Mavericks, Warriors, Kings Not exactly a huge difference, is it, Rose?
Am I the only one who doesnt want Denver to lose... If they lose to the Thunder then we move closer to second spot. Thats likely going to be the Jazz. We dont want anything to do with the Jazz. I also dont want to be a position, where on the last night of reg season, if we win we face the Jazz if we lose we face Portland/Denver. Go Denver.
Thats if you know for a fact that Jazz will finish in the seventh seed. The race is so close they could move up to 6th seed or fall down to the 8th seed. If playoffs would start tomorrow I am sure there many people would root for Denver. I don't want to face the Jazz like many others but say we do get passed the first whether that be Jazz or someone else we will have home court in 2nd round as well. So I am going to continue rooting for the Thunder and whoever play the Jazz.
Lol, what the heck Jalen? That guy brings nothing to the table except giving the teleprompter some use.
The Rockets have 2 road games against dog teams: @SAC & @GS; one very losable road game against a decent team: @DAL and a home game against a decent team: NO The Blazers have 1 road game against a dog: @LAC; 1 home game against a dog: OKC and 2 other home games: One against a good team (DEN) and another against a great team (LAL). I think the Blazers will very likely go 3-1 and lose to the Lakers. The Rockets have a chance to go 4-0 if they win in Dallas but I could see them slipping to 2-2. It's a stretch to say the Blazers have an easier schedule. Jalen Rose again shows why he is a poor studio analyst.
He said we don't have the guy to make the big shots...as if we had that guy all season long. The Media needs to understand...the 08/09 Tmac was a role player at best. Not a superstar. They seem to think we are missing Kobe Bryant or something.
He probably meant a healthy T-Mac, you know that guy who has had freakish numbers in the playoff already, although only first round series.
Yeah, but it's pointless for them to keep saying that "They don't have the guy to make the big shot." We're tied for 3rd in the conference playing all year without that guy. Time for them to move on about it, no Tmac this year.
I know it has been said many times but seeing Mario Elie over there by the Mavericks sideline is kind of sickening and disturbing.
Hornets losing against the Suns was a bad outcome for the Rockets. Provided the Mavs beat the Jazz tonight this is how it's going to look: NO 48-30, @Dal, Dal, @Hou, @SA Utah 47-31, @SA, GS, LAC, LAL Mavs 47-31, NO, @NO, Min, Hou The Jazz could very easily go 4-0 in their 4 games with the Spurs slumping and the Lakers resting players in the last regular season game. IMO the Jazz are pretty much a lock to get 6th seed.
given that scenario, do you hope for the 3rd or the 4th seed? 2nd seed would be ideal obviously, yet unlikely.... i'm hoping for the 3rd regardless.... put off the lakers as long as possible.
