looks like NO is going down in NYC
this is huge for Portland. NO picking up a loss against and East team is a big step up for us. Their schedule doesn’t get any easier down the stretch, so every loss is key. This gives us control of our own destiny on our way to the 5 spot or better – If we do what we should, NO, Utah, and Dal can’t catch us.
How did you guys win that?

Hornets now another 27 loss team, with one fewer win than PDX...
Pontiff of the Pryz for Prez Posse...
Wow this is big. PHX still has a chance to pass a couple teams.

Dallas vs Phoenix next week could be for the 8th spot
For sure, Phoenix will still need more help, but that is a 2 game swing right there if they win it. It’s really their last hope.

Phoenix has a soft, soft schedule from here out -- 3 rough and toughies, Houston at home, who they should handle, and a bunch of wins...
If they beat Utah tomorrow, look out.
Pontiff of the Pryz for Prez Posse...
Yes
With NO losing, like douglast said, we are now in front of them if we play how we should.
Our sights have to be on taking care of business, winning our home games and the OKC, Memphis, and Clipper road games. I’ll also throw in one loss at home, to give us 52 wins, and probably the 5th seed, with home court a possibility if we can snag one of those tough road games against SA or Houston, or win out at home, or if Houston and/or Denver drop one or two they shouldnt.
Does PDX have the tiebreaker with them or something? Both 27 loss teams.
Pontiff of the Pryz for Prez Posse...
No, Portland would have to finish ahead outright
But I see that happening, they haven’t been playing well, Chandler is out, and they have a much tougher schedule.
They have been underwhelming, for sure.
The worst matchup for the Blazers remains Dallas.
Pontiff of the Pryz for Prez Posse...
i dont think so
I’d rather play dallas than LA, SA, Hou for sure. And I’d probably rather play them then Utah as well. However, it’s not likely that Portland and Dallas finish 4-5 or 3-6, so it’s kind of moot.

NO has a problem

I guess we know why they were so hot to trade him for nothing, eh?
Pontiff of the Pryz for Prez Posse...
Dallas vs. Denver
if we are optimistic of taking care of our own business, we definately want to root for Dallas. With Denver’s closing schedule, we need them to pick up losses to other playoff teams, especially on the road, if we want to have a shot at the division.
On the other hand, if you are more pessimistic and think the Blazers may struggle and drop a game or two that they should win (ala Philly), then the division is lost anyway, so you want to root for Denver so as to stay ahead of as many teams as possible.

Phoenix needs a Dallas loss tonight to get the margin to 3 in the loss column.
They play them head-to-head, which can get it to 2.
It’s plausible that they can catch Dallas.
Pontiff of the Pryz for Prez Posse...
Huge game tomorrow. Hopefully this game tonight goes into 3OT.

Spurs now up by 25. Starters sitting in the 3rd Q. Batteries charging up...
Pontiff of the Pryz for Prez Posse...
gee, what a concept
my only real complaint about Nate is how long he leaves starters in blowouts – wins and losses. Last night was a perfect example. LMA should never have come back in after his normal rest with 10 to go in the game. Roy should have gone out with about 8 to go

it wasn't that bad, Nate was just ensuring that it remained a blowout

I saw that, I was surprised.
It’s good to know that some of our team is confident going in to the post season, that we might pull out a first series win.

Like us, the Rockets have an average point guard
Spurs – Parker
Nuggets – Billups
Jazz – Williams
Hornets – Paul
Rockets – Aaron Brooks
Us – Steve Blake
Since PG is our weakest position, I’m hoping for a 4-5 matchup with Houston
looking more and more likely
I think Denver, with their play of late and their closing schedule, is going to cruise into the 3 spot (maybe even flip flop SA for the 2), leaving Houston as the front runner for the 4 spot, with us as the front runner for the 5. Utah and NO could still factor into the 5, but their schedules are quite a bit tougher.
Houston’e homecourt doesn’t seem that big of a factor (but I admit I’m not sure), and in some ways I’d rather we get the playoff jitters out in a game 1 loss on the road rather than a game 1 loss at home. If we come back and steal game 2 and then come back to the garden, I like our chances.

Dirk rushed it too...
why didn’t he take it left, drag a defender, then do that sick fadeaway from the free throw line?
He hits that shot all day every day.

Houston 2 up in the win column, and they own the tiebreaker
Just don’t see us leapfrogging either Houston or Denver with the schedules left of both. Tie breakers just kill us, we have to win everything outright.
loss column is what to watch though
and that’s only 1. if we beat them, it’s even, and even better we will own the tiebreaker. Which means we need only play even in with them in the other games.
Possible losses on their schedule:
Hosting Orlando
at Lakers
hosting New Orleans
at Dallas to end the year (Dallas may need to get in)
If they drop 2 of those 4 and lose to us, we need to go 6-3 in our other games finish tied with them. Daunting, but possible If they drop 3 of those 4 and lose to us, we need only go 5-4 against the other teams.
Basically, if we want homecourt, we have to win at Houston.

bad math
if they drop 2 of the 4 games, plus us, we need to go 7-2 in our other games to end up tied.
If they drop 3 of the 4 games, plus us, we need to go 6-3 in our other games to end up tied.

Wow, Dirk without a field goal in the fourth
I didn’t see it , was it the defense or did Dirk just blow it?

Suns celebrate - until tomorrow when they lose away at Utah
And yeah, I could use wins from Michigan and UNC although overall I won’t get far above average
Division chances
took a crushing blow this week. Denver had a 3 game road trip: Phoenix, New Orleans, Dallas and came away with 2 out of 3. That was pretty much the game right there.
Our last shot is to go 8-1, and hope they lose at the L*kers and at home to Utah to set up the final game for the division. our go 7- 2and somehow hope they drop one of (GS, NY, clips, @Minny, OKC). Not bloody likely.
I think right now we should start focusing on finishing in that 4 or 5 slot.

Man, I hate the Denver Thuggets.
I dislike the Lakers as a franchise more, but as a group of individuals, the Thuggets are tops.
Dallas looked awful in that game. It was painful to root for them.
what?
you got no love for the ultra-classy JR Smith?
