It's going to be awfully tough for us to get the 4th seed. Considering we're up two on the Jazz in loss column, and they have a rough schedule. The Hornets probably have the easiest schedule down the stretch.

They play us... which we're still not back up to the speed of things, and will be trying to work in Gasol/Bynum. The Jazz shouldn't be that hard for them, considering Jazz will be on the road, and their a terrible road team. The Warriors are on the road as well against the Hornets.

So it looks like our chances of grabbing the #1 seed are very very slim. We'd need to win out.

Wow it looks like Kobe had one of this best games of the year by the box score. Of course the one time I fall asleep early from being up all night the previous day Kobe shoots lights out.

Anyway this win really butters my bread. Hopefully this is the start of a long win streak. And Gasol was back!!!!! Holler at your boy.

the 4th seed is essentially the same thing as the 5th seed. our chances of gaining the #1 seed is pretty decent i think. especially if we beat them when we face up... we'd have to win the rest of our games and the hornets would have to lose one game besides the one they are playing us. we'd have the tie breaker if we win the rest of our games.

plus they have to play against teams that are going to go at them full throttle (fighting just to make the playoffs) in the nuggets and mavs.

Except the fact that with 4 you have home court for at least the first round and play the closest "equal" team in the playoffs on your floor compared to theirs is a pretty big deal.

I think you mean the Warriors... not Nuggets.

Like Cris said there is a pretty big difference from #4 and #5.

In case you didn't notice though we have a tougher schedule then them, and it's not likely we win out. We have to play Dallas which they will be playing full throttle just like you said against the Hornets, we have to play the Spurs... who are playing well again, of course the Hornets, and we have to play at Portland, which we never win there...
