I have a feeling Phil will "rest his starters" to insure a Jazz win on that last game. Who would you rather face? The Mavs or the Jazz?
Unless it comes down to that game for the Lakers to get HCA in the Finals over Cleveland. But that is very unlikely as of now.
well the mavs and the jazz do face each other i think soon in dallas and then the rockets play the mavs on the last day of the season...if the rockets seeding/playoff opponent is locked in and if they could somehow push the mavs up a spot and the jazz down to the 8th do you think they would?
Don't see that happening, but with their horrific road record and the fact that 4 out of their last 7 are away... I don't see them holding on to that 7th spot. Keep in mind, those 4 away games are against Western Conference playoff teams. Their record against +.500 teams are not easy on the eyes, either. Upcoming Games vs Minnesota @ New Orleans @ Dallas @ San Antonio vs Golden State vs LA Clippers @ LA Lakers
