Merged: Time to make up ground on the West today!

[MAS RipCity]

Phoenix is currently playing the Lakers at home without Amare and Nash
Denver is at Indiana
Utah is at Golden State where the Warriors won by 20 last time in the Bay
We are obviously playing the Spurs and while we may not catch them, it brings us closer
Houston is at Minnesota where the Wolves have been tough to beat and Houston is coming off of a back to back
Dallas is playing Toronto in Dallas, should be a Dallas win but you never know when you play Toronto. Bosh could want a huge homecoming
New Orleans is at New Jersey and currently on a road trip. The Nets are tough at home and Harris could give Paul fits.

There are 6 games, not including ours, and it would be nice if at least 3 teams lost today. If I could chose the 3 teams to lose it would be Denver, Utah, and Houston/NO(same record in loss column)

I hope the L*kers play better than they currently are vs Phoenix.

I gagged writing that.

LA is so good, I am used to rooting for them to beat teams in the playoff race..doesn't bug me as much as it has. It will stop soon once Kobe starts declining in 2-3 years.

It'd be nice to watch the Suns/Lakers games except for the fact Dish Network doesn't carry ABC anymore. Fucking irritating.

Big game tonight. Of course they're all big this time of year.

Tonight could be a really really bad night

i believe with a loss... we are in the 8th spot assuming the other teams win who are playing cupcakes.

and the suns are a game and a half back.

scary

Say something positive, I'll rep you if you can.

Im waiting for the day when it's Portland that keeps winning when other teams and fans expect them to lose. Right now, that's Denvers role.

Re: Tonight could be a really really bad night

I was gonna post the 'glass case of emotion' scene from Anchorman but I can't find the video.

Oddly enough, it hurts you guys probably as much. While you beat both the Cavs and Celtics on the road, HCA in the finals will be huge this year.

My bigger concern is that the Lakers will have righted this MINOR blip in their play before they get to Portland.

Lakers have two "cupcake" games before the POR game. MEM and Wolves IIRC

A 2-1 record won't be bad.

whatever that means...

They haven't won in our building all season. I guess that means they never usually beat us at home.

I said anything positive, anything in the world. You Failed.

Well we can only hope your right.

Tonight could be a really really GOOD night!

Just sayin that it could.

Re: Tonight could be a really really GOOD night!

Wait, are you a 'regular here'??

 

[Toko]

Can't believe we lost to the suns...wtf???!!

 

[Tince]

Looks like Denver might lose. Down 8 with 2:16 left in the 4th!

 

[julius]

Don't count Denver out (or for that matter, the Spurs).

I'm counting Denver out.

Ah... What a really, really good night.

Not really. Close wins like the Hornets-Nets games hurt.

Your prediction isn't looking too good.
