We play them again next week on ESPN.

Good, hopefully we'll be even more ready.

We should keep an eye on that atlanta pick too, cross your fingers they fall out of the playoffs.

Celtics end the Rockets 22 game win streak, 94-74.

Lakers beat the Mavs, 102-100. Mavs were down quite a bit, came back and Dirk takes a stupid shot and misses.

Kings upset the Warriors, 122-105. Only their 2nd victory against the Pacific this season, as they are 2-10. Other team they beat were the Lakers.

Pistons blow out the Nuggets 136-120. Nuggets do play when they want to.

Suns win, of course.


Schedule for the week again, so we don't have to go back to page 1 to see it.

Rockets: vs Boston, @ NO, @ Golden State, @ PHX
Lakers: @ Dallas, @ Utah, vs Seattle, vs Golden State (@ them next night)
Hornets: vs Chicago, vs Houston, vs Boston, @ Indiana
Jazz: vs Toronto, vs Lakers, vs Charlotte.
Suns: @ Portland, @ Seattle, vs Houston, @ Detroit
Spurs: vs Boston, @ Chicago, vs SAC, @ Dallas
Mavs: vs Heat, vs Lakers, vs Boston, vs San Antonio
Warriors: @ SAC, @ Clippers, vs Houston, @ Lakers, (vs them next night)

Nuggets: vs Seattle, @ Detroit, @ Philly, @ NJ, @ Toronto

We could conceivably tie with the Lakers this week. Maybe even overtake them. But our schedule for the remainder of the season is a lot tougher than theirs. Hopefully, this only makes us stronger.

Kekai

mavs almost beat the lakers today which would have tied us with them right?
damn

Seuss

Lets see what the Suns have, I think they could finish 3-1 this week. Detroit is gonna be tough.....but the Suns are A LOT better now then they were when they got blown out.

Had to miss part of the first quarter last night so I could watch the LA / Dallas game.

I am sure it is one of the few times that I would ever sit there rooting for Dallas to win.

Dirk had a couple of nice 3's there to bring the game within reach, and had he not fumbled that pass at the very end he may have gotten off a clean shot.

It's getting really crowded at the top right now. We're tied with Houston for the second best record in the West yet we're in 5th place. When the Jazz beat the Lakers (I'm hoping for this) there'll be a 3-way tie for 2nd best. Then, when the Hornets lose to the Celtics (I'm hoping for this too) it'll be a 4-way tie. However, on the same night we'll beat the Rockets and be in 1st place. It sounds ridiculous that a team could jump from 5th to 1st by winning 1 game.

And there's what, 3 weeks left?

Tiz

It is absolutely crazy right now with the distance between all 9 teams. Seems like within a week all of the positions will be switched around again.

Now quick questions/refresher. I know that the division winners are guaranteed a top 4 spot. Now is home court determined by record?

So for example if we went into the postseason today we would be matched up with #4 Utah, but we have the better overall record so would we have home court in the first round?

Seuss

I don't see the Suns getting any lower then 5th.

Celtics beat Mavs, sweep the Texas Triangle.

Mavs are 0-7 against teams .500 or better since the Kidd deal.

Aylwin

I guess the Mavs won't be much of a factor this year.

It's going to be incredibly difficult now to overtake the Lakers. They've already beaten the Mavs and the Jazz. There are aren't too many teams left on their schedule with a good chance of beating them.

Aylwin

I believe the answers are yes and yes.
