Pistons within 1 now. Wow. Biggest comeback on the road this season?
 
Clippers have been playing some great basketball as of late. They have become a serious threat to take our HCA.:NOTMARIS:

Not worried. They have three more losses than us. I think we own the tiebreaker too? Does anyone know?
 
The funniest thing ever was watching the persistent WTF is my team doing expressions coming from Brooklyn's coach (Kenny Adkinson). Not just once or twice, either.

Strange Stat: The Orlando Magic, once 31-38 and now the hottest team in the NBA, are only a game out of the 6th seed.
"Strange Stat" or another example that not only is the GAME of basketball a game of runs, but the SEASON itself is.

With the Jazz easy schedule and the Clippers playing so we'll it's going to be a real challenge now.
 
You honestly think we have a chance to win two games against Denver without Nurkic?

We have a chance. Not appealing odds, but at least a chance
 
He's probably right.

Just looking at BBRef's hall-of-fame monitor rankings, Hardaway at 79.2% has the third-highest rating of any eligible player not in the hall, behind only the unknown Larry Foust, and notable snub Jack Sikma. Looking further down the rankings, Larry Costello (another dude from the 50's) is the only other eligible guy above 50% who isn't in the hall.

In the next few years, it'll be interesting to see how the HOF candidacy of guys like Billups, Marion, and Amar'e is viewed. They're all in that same rating tier as Hardaway, and I personally wouldn't vote for any of them to be HOF players.
 
Should I want Utah to lose to make it harder for them to catch Portland, or should I want the Lakers to lose because they are the Lakers?
Lakers are eliminated, we want them to beat the Jazz.
 
Today's wish list
1 Denver beats Houston
2 Bucks beat Clippers
3 Cavs beat Spurs

Not sure about that second one. A MIL win would push LA to either 6 or 7, and reduce the likelihood of us facing them in the first round.

Yeah it starts to get tricky. I know I want Houston and OKC to continue to lose, but Utah, Clips, and SA are a tough call right now. You don't want them getting close to Portland, but you don't want them moving back to 7 or 8 either
