The only way we overtake the Rockets is if they lose at home to the Clippers. That's simply not going to happen. Of course, we still need to beat the Blazers.
Your game against Utah is critical. You win, you keep the 3rd spot. Utah wins, they get homecourt advantage in the 1st round. Also, we could be looking at a 4-way tie with us, Utah and Houston. If that happens, I think you drop down to 6th and we move up to 5th but I'm not sure. It's a bit confusing.
Is Manu playing? Utah is crap on the road but if Manu isn't playing then that gives them a fighting chance.

Us meeting in the 1st round is the most likely scenario. While I like our chances this year, it's going to be a real battle for both teams. Plus, you'll have homecourt advantage. If possible, I'd rather we not meet in the 1st round. The only exception is if Manu is still not playing. How bad is his injury?
