If we can manage to somehow lose out, maybe Minny can steal one from Hou since they are collapsing.

Doubtful, but I can wish. I just really hope we win only one more game and keep the 6 spot. Will be extremely annoyed if they let Sac and others out tank them. They need to play Asik 30+ minutes.

This is especially important since our trade back options seem to be getting worse as well. If Houston doesn't make the playoffs Denver won't have a 3rd 1st rounder. If Denver wins 1 more game, Toronto's 1st pick could go from 9 to 11. At 9 I'm pretty sure at least one of my trade back targets is on the board, at 11 it gets dicey. Phoenix (via Washington) has risen from 12 to 13.

I don't see Denver winning any more. Knicks should win tonight. So as long as we don't win more than 2, then the worst we can do is tie for 6 with Sac. Phoenix is now only half game up on Brooklyn, so they may tank worse than the Kings for that game on Monday.

We really cannot win more than 2 of the next 4 games which may be tough.

Maybe, but Portland is Denver's last game. The Blazers are in a statistical tie with the Grizzlies for the 5th seed. Memphis is in a downward spiral with their injuries, 3-7 in their last 10 and their last 4 games are @Dallas, GS, @Clippers, @GS. I'd say there's a good chance Portland has the 5th seed locked up before the last game and anyone that matters for them won't be playing against Denver.

How crazy is the West this year that Portland, who probably should have aimed at being a lottery team, will be the 5th seed. with around 44 wins?

So, we can only win one of the 4 remaining games. 3 of the 4 are home games. Not feeling real confident about keeping the 6 spot to ourselves.

Not so sure I believe that (and they both would have to win 1 each for us to win 2 and still keep the 6 spot). I can see NY winning one, but not SAC. They play Thunder at home and Suns and Rockets on the road. So, while the Suns and Rockets are potentially beatable, the games are on the road and the Kings have shut it down. Both Cousins and Rondo were DNPs last night.

New York @ Philly
Sacramento @ Phoenix and maybe even @ a collapsing/ed Rockets

I'm more concerned that we'll win more than 2 of 4 than I am that they won't win 1 more each.

I'm ecstatic that Tim Frazier has looked like a damn good player and is that backup that is capable of not making us look retarded as a team.

I'm not ecstatic that he's playing so well we're winning though

13 games, 28.4MPG
49.6/47.8/79.2 on 9.6/1.8/3.7 attempts
13.3 PPG, 4.1 RPG, 6.7 APG, 2.5 TOV, 1.4 SPG, 0.1 BPG
115 ORTG, 109 DRG, 20.2 PER, 1.2 WS
2.5 OBPM, -0.8 DBPM, 1.7 BPM

0-2 in these last 2 should lock us into 6th.

We play v CHI

T Wolves about to beat Portland. Had we not won the other night we'd only be game behind them for 5th and we still play each other
