Denver's winning percentage is .600, and Portland's is .594.

About the game, though ... ugh. I'm pretty sure Nate won't come out all smiles for his post-game interview after this one. What a clunker of a win. He'll have them excited for Chicago, though.

Essentially correct, although by percentage, Denver still has the lead. I expect them to lose to the Spurs tomorrow, which makes a Portland win at Chicagoland a must. After tomorrow, Denver has some easy games, whilst Portland has a couple of tough ones with Utah and Golden State.

Regardless, an away win is always a good thing - pretty or not.

The Bulls have played a lot better since firing their coach. It's going to be a tough game against them even if we play better. If we play anything like we played tonight we will lose that game for sure.

Yeah, by winning pct, we're still in second, but in terms of games behind, we're in a tie.
Man, I wish we had beaten Utah. Hopefully Philly can pull off an upset over the Jazz tonight.

Atleast LMA had a double double after that horrendous rebounding effort in Utah 11 rebounds not bad

Not to mention, Win Streak: 1

Sixers rallying against the Jazz.

Go Philly! Down 101-99 with 1:30 left.

Sample size alert.

Wow Deron Williams had TWENTY assists! Scary!

[knicksfan89]

but we are starting a new winning streak, that is more important

[mook]

Roy made a brilliant defensive play when he was about to be victimized on a two-on-one fast break.

Al Jefferson is FREAKIN' UNREAL. I tell you, I know Jason Quick is always saying how Portland management always has one eye on Utah, but Minnesota scares me. That dude is one gifted BEAST in the low post. If they can just put some talent around that incredibly gifted power forward...

Oh wait, I'm talking about Minnesota. Never mind. Hope you like losing in the first round, Al.

Sebastian Telfair is far, far worse than I remembered. Goes to show how far we've come in point guard production. If we'd made the mistake of drafting him this year, he'd be battling Taureen Green for the starting job on the Idaho Stampede. And likely losing that battle.

Some teams you have to beat. Some teams you just have to be competent and sit back and watch them beat themselves. Minnesota is definitely in the latter category. Portland was generally competent tonight.

14 straight wins with Nate as the coach!

[Dan]

Now we just need Detroit to lose a game, so the streak doesn't get beat.

Only 4 turnovers. Thats excellent. Maybe Visual concepts will start to show Serg some love. The guy had 8 assist in 10 minutes. In NBA 2k8 they gave him a 60 something in passing.
