    Your answer tells a lot about whether you are an optimist or pessimist.

    This is how I normally figure out who I go for every game:

    In this case:

    SA (2-1)

    11/6 vs SA W 89-81 +8
    11/16 @ SA L 90-84 -6
    1/19 vs SA W 83-81 +2

    Point differental HOU +4

    DEN (2-1)

    11/24 vs DEN W 109-81 +28
    12/20 @ DEN L 112-111 -1
    3/2 vs DEN W 103-89 +14

    Point differental HOU +41

    Therefore... LETS GO DENVER!

    Considering how Rockets played Denver days ago... It is so sweet if Denver could beat the Spurs by double digits. It's like we are beating the Spurs by, like, 30 points? :D

    I love the Spurs, but I kinda want the Nuggets to win and increase the odds of the Suns missing the playoffs completely. Because that would be awesome.

    96-81 with 6 minutes left. I just assumed the Spurs would take this game.

    Suns better watch out for the Nugs.

    Denver is terrible. They would have to win all but 4 games if we just beat teams with a losing record from here out to get a playoff series. They make the playoffs but it won;t be because we dropped out.

    That might be the worst I've seen the Spurs play yet. Anytime you make Najera look like the second coming of Reggie Miller you've failed on defence.

    Lol, I wish it were true but the nba is all bout matchups. If you beat a team badly which beat another team badly, it doesnt mean you'll beat that other team badly. :)

    I always want the weak team win. It will give rockets better chance to go higher seed. I guess I am an optimist. Basically, If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. Don't consider about match-up.

    That's because you love America. The Nugs are lead by fine Americans Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson. The Suns are led by a Canadian! We can't have that! :D

    Post is a joke, just in case I pissed off any of our Canadian friends.

    I'm glad the Spurs 11 game winning streak is over so all the spotlight is on our 17 game streak! ;)

    Next closest now is Boston at 7 wins in a row.
