OT: Denver

[Rodolfo]

Time to root against the Nuggets. OKC leads by 5 late in the 2nd Quarter. HUGE for us if OKC can pull this one out.

 

[ABM]

FWIW.....N'Arlins and Utah are currently losing, as well.

For it to matter, they would have to not only lose this game, but also lose in denver against Sac, and against the Blazers, and the Blazers would have to win all remaining games for us to overtake them in the standings. I don't see all this happening, so I don't think it really matters. 1 seed is LA, 2 seed is going to be denver. The Blazers are fighting for 3rd or worse.

Dude they play the Lakers IN LA tomorrow. They have to lose tonight for us to be in it for the divison.

 

[Minstrel]

Yeah...if Denver loses tonight and then loses in LA, Portland can win the division by winning out.

 

[maxiep]

OKC up three at the half. PHX is looking like they're going to put NOH away.

Man that would be so amazing. OKC needs to play their asses off in the second half!

NO lost. 5th place is as bad as we can fall imo.

 

[Rodolfo]

OKC leads by 3 mid 3rd.

There's is still an outside chance of getting the NW Division title.

If Denver falls to OKC and falls to the Lakers tomorrow, but beat Sacramento on Monday, they'll be 53-28.
If we beat the Lakers on Friday and the Clippers on Saturay, and OKC on Monday, we'd be 53-28.

Which sets up, Denver @ Portland on final game of the regular season for the NW Division championship.

We need the Thunder to win!

 

[Rodolfo]

Wow, they're still holding on to the lead. This game is in Denver btw. Hope the altitude doesn't get em'!

 

[Further]

OOPS. I did not realize they played LA. Then yes, I shall be rooting for the thunda

 

[ABM]

OKC won't go away. Not to mention, they played the Spurs last night.

OKC running out of gas...........................

 

[Rodolfo]

Yep, no divison title this year. HCA is still a very big possiblity though!

 

[Minstrel]

Portland can still catch Denver...just pretty hard now. Denver's division clinching magic number is 1.

 

[Wheels]

Yeah come on Thunder! Make that season finale for the division! I want an even more Rocking RG when I go!

So, if Denver loses to the Lakers tonight, and we beat them on the 15th, they'll take the tie-breaker....assuming both teams win all their other games>
