3.30.12 Update:
Basically Golden State screwed Portland, AGAIN. This time letting New Jersey come-back and beat them. That resulted in New Jersey dropping to the 5th spot for the first time since we have followed this. At least Portland jumped back to 10th. 10th looks like will be the best Portland could finish, 10-12th is looking very logical at this point.

Saturday games that matter:
CHA @ DET: Don't look now but New Jersey is only 1 game away from Detroit, so we need the Pistons to win a game that they should win.
MEM @ MIL: MIL needs to hold serve at home, if not they will be tied with Portland once again.
NJ @ SAC: New Jersey needs to lose, another win could hurt. 1.5 games seperates the 4th and the 8th picks. Kinda crazy.
CLE @ NYK: Need CLE to win, CLE fits in with the above comment about the 4th-8th picks.
