Merged: Playoff Race

[MickZagger]

Suns lose...rockets win.

now we have a 3 and half game lead over the suns for the 8th spot. IF ..... IF we beat minny (which a playoff team should or would) then it will be a nice 4 game lead at the months end.

WE NEED TO BEAT MINNY BADLY....

Shouldn't the best team in the East beat the Clippers?







. . . . Not expecting a response from you. . .

 

[MIXUM]

if you wanna have a kingseed type excuse ready thats fine.... but if we lose its 3 in a row and we welcome the spurs on sunday so it would be 4 losses in a row.

it will make us all feel better that the clippers beat the celtics.


shut up

Its called perspective tooly. You have this team set to win the NBA finals, then fine be butthurt every time they lose a game. This team will be in the playoffs while having the youngest roster (on a per minute basis) in the league.

okc is choking away a sure fire victory against dallas

 

[MAS RipCity]

gave up a 12 pt lead over the last 2.5 minutes..wow

 

[MAS RipCity]

sickening, okc chokes away a 12 pt lead as dallas goes on a 16-0 run, only to have a 5 pt possession (foul on a 3, make first 2, miss 3rd, rebound, drain 3)..now in ot...phx is pulling away from toronto, denver up on la, and hornets won on a unk tip that shouldn't have counted as west traveled.

Closer to the 2 spot than to the 9. If we keep playing like we did yesterday, it's not out of the realm of possibility.

 

[MAS RipCity]

NO just keeps squeaking out wins..ugh
On the other hand, Dallas is getting the crap kicked out of them by OKC without Durant and Green..woowzas

 

[julius]

OT: Mavs lost to Thunder

and the Thunder didn't have Durant either.

 

[MIXUM]

dallas loses.... im beginning to wonder if they will make the playoffs. thats a terrible loss to a OKC team withour durant and green.

how does taht happen???

 

[KingSpeed]

OT: Mavs lose to Durantless/Greenless Thunder.

Just remember this when people in here bitch about us losing to a team without their best player.

 

[KingSpeed]

Re: OT: Mavs lost to Thunder

Or Green!

You beat me to it.

 

[julius]

Re: OT: Mavs lost to Thunder

Yah, but I didn't notice they had no Green, so props to you.

 

[ABM]

Re: OT: Mavs lost to Thunder

After going up big, I thought the Thunder were gonna choke. But, to their credit, they held it together. Nowitzki almost singlehandedly brought the Mavs back.

 

[GoBlazersGo]

Re: OT: Mavs lost to Thunder

Yah, but I didn't notice they had no Green, so props to you.

"[N]o Green!?" Poor guys, I feel their pain--I hate being without it!

Westbrook with a triple-double (17, 10, & 10) in the win.

 

[MIXUM]

Re: OT: Mavs lost to Thunder

the thunder might be the best young team in the league. They even have more scoring options then us.

I mean after this next draft, some would take their roster over ours.

Durant, Green, Westbrook, and TOP 5 LOTTO PICK or Roy, LA, Oden (at this point hes a major bust) and a trade?


its really not close...

I didn't realize you were BOTH dorks 'til now!

Re: OT: Mavs lose to Durantless/Greenless Thunder.

kingspeed, when you have gotten into trouble in your life.... do you always say "well so and so did it too"

just cause someone else does something.... doesnt make it acceptable

jeez...

Were you giving them this much love when they beat us?

lol your funny.

When we lose to them its a devastating loss and our team is garbage. When Dallas loses to them they are the best young team in the league.

Bayless is going to be better then Westbrook. I have watched both a lot and Bayless is the better player and even as good or better PG. It took Westbrook a while until he started playing well and if Bayless gets as much PT he will be a lot better then Westbrook IMO.

I love how you include the lotto pick in their core. If they were so good, they wouldn't be getting a lotto pick, no?

Unless they were tanking on purpose. In which case, smart move!

 

[MickZagger]

Denver about to lose to Detroit. That puts us tied with them in the loss column. Huge matchup Thursday

 

[whatsmyname]

yup if we win tmrw that game in denver will be huge. We can be leading division

 

[BlazerBeav]

The Suns lost again - we're now 4 up in the loss column for a playoff spot.

 

[Bosco]

Some nice loses around the conference....

Suns and Nuggets drop one on the same day.... me likey. I know we are "slipping" in the standing in the playoff race a bit, but it's nice to see one night when some top dogs take an important slide. I think we just need a small run here and Oden back we'll make this happen.

 

[J_Ray]

Re: Some nice loses around the conference....

How does Suns losing help? They're like the 9th seed...team you guys better worry about is Utah They could be first in division by end of the week
