I can understand though that's it's a real fight right now for playoff positioning. But I don't think the seedings are going to be set until the last game of the season. It's going to be that tight. The only sure things are the Jazz at number 4 (because of a stupid rule) and the Lakers at number 1 (not because they're so much better than everyone else but because their remaining schedule is too easy).

i think the jazz ending up #4 and lakers ending up #1 are not sure things. jazz have a chance to finish higher, but then again they're not playing so hot lately. and lakers, given their history of injures these past 2 seasons, might sustain another injury, who knows.

Well sure, anything can happen. But I'd be very surprised if the Jazz finish any higher. And the Lakers have already had their share of injuries. I doubt the basketball gods will give them any more significant ones.

For us to get the top spot, we obviously need to overtake the Lakers. But they're mostly at home for the remainder of the season with only the Hornets and Spurs to worry about. On the road, they only have to face the Kings, Blazers and Clippers. That's nothing compared to our 7 road games against the Celtics, Sixers, Nets, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Spurs and Rockets.

Of course, there's still a chance we can overtake the Lakers. But if we don't, I sure hope no one else does either.

Dear Suns fans,

HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Sorry, had to get that out. As a Pistons fan I would merely like to state that you guys really need to learn how to bribe the refs. We've got it down to a science.

i don't believe the "it can't get any worse" approach.. because last year it was pretty bad. laker fans thought "we already had 1 year full of years.. it can't get any worse" but then bynum, mihm, gasol, and ariza go down this year.

btw, it's very possible that houston will slip some, and the jazz will take their #3 seed.

It's not that I believe it can't get any worse for the Lakers. I just don't think we should hang our playoff position chances on the hope that maybe a Laker gets injured. I'd rather hope we become unstoppable and storm through our remaining games. If the Lakers have a few off nights (which I think is more likely) then that'll be good too.

As for Houston, I expect them to slip as well. But I also expect the Hornets, Spurs and of course the Suns to finish with a better record than the Jazz. I really don't think the Jazz are going to overtake 3 out of these 4 teams to move up to 3rd.
