    I was thinking a separate thread on the night's match-ups would be great! Hopefully Dark Webs takes this over if he can.

    So the deal in these threads are having them like game threads, so we aren't jumbling the "around the nba" thread.

    Tonight has some interesting "playoff consideration seeding" outcomes.

    1.) GS Warriors vs Orlando Magic: If GS loses and we win, we jump over them in standings. And I'm sure most would agree, you always root for the East to beat the west unless it's us!

    2.) New York Knicks vs Dallas Mavericks:. Another East vs. West match-up, but the Knicks haven't given me any hope they can upset anyone!

    3.) Toronto Raptors vs Atlanta Hawks:. East vs east, but this is another scenario that if we win and Toronto loses, we go up a spot in the Nba

    4.) Loss Angeloss Clippers vs Detroit Pistons: Always root against the Clips!

    5.) Sacramento Kings vs Houston Rockets:. I think we need to worry about Houston more than the Kings, and I'm a little partial to the Kings anyway

    6.) Utah Jazz vs OKC Thunder: we need as much space or cushion from OKC as we can possibly have.

    7.) Indiana Pacers vs Sas Spurs:. Well this is obvious

    8.) Denver Nugs vs Phoenix Suns:. I don't care who wins this one... I'm not worried about either team

    9.) Memphis Grizzlies vs Loss Angeloss Lakers:. This is one of those "Can't they both lose games". I'm not worried about the Lakers, so I'm gonna root against the Griz. This is another game that if we win and they lose, we can tie for the best record in the west.
     
    Darkwebs, SlyPokerDog and BBert like this.

    1. Magic (They probably will win since GSW are on a b2b where they were extremely hot, just a natural let down game)

    2. Mavs, just because I love watching the Knicks and Fisher lose

    3. Raptors, I love the way they play... They are currently a part of my "dream finals" this year with us of course

    4. Pistons!!! But the Clips will win :(

    5. Kings, the Rockets can only survive so many times...

    6. Jazz (same reason as you)

    7. Pacers have a chance that's for sure...

    8. Nuggets, I don't want the Suns in the playoffs... they have 07 Warriors written all over them.

    9. Grizzlies, you never root for the Lakers...

    Root for Phoenix--the sooner the Nuggets' season is basically over, the sooner they might be willing to trade Afflalo to us (a guy can hope).

    Good idea about setting this up. Bad idea about overloading DW with 10x the work. ;)

    I wouldn't "always" root for the east to beat the other teams in the west. There are a handful of eastern teams that could end up with a better record than the Blazers, and hence HCA in the finals. Don't want that. :)

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to magnifier661 again.

    Nuggets have won 5 in a row and are thinking playoffs. Plus, they're in our division. Gotta root for Phoenix there. Good thread mags!
