Thankfully its the one we can most afford to miss on tonight.

Actually, I'm starting to wonder if we need to think about rooting for the Grizzlies at some point. If we get the 4th seed (I don't really see us catching HOU), I'm a lot more comfortable with Memphis than LAC at 5th.

Still, 4th seed is by no means assured yet, so for now I'm all for rooting against the lot of them.

Looks like seeding will come down to the wire yet again.

Also the 1st and 2nd seeds are now in play between the Spurs and Warriors. And I haven't given up hope on the 3rd seed.

Now show the stats for blowout games. They are coasting against bad teams they should dominate, and having to win close games that they should win easily.

Do your own research to support your argument, I'm not your monkey. Their average win against bottom 16 teams is 12 ppg and 15 of the 24 wins were by 9 or more points. Would be nice to win by more, but you do realize we have the fifth best net +/- in the league? I'm happy we are winging close games.

Dude when you say something like "2 point favorite" people (rightfully so) are thinking about sportsbook odds, not a specific statistical models projections.

Thanks dude. I don't gamble and don't track such things. I'll cite my source next time if you promise not to call me a liar.

I generally agree although each team worries me..
1. I hate playing Westbrook.. he can win a game single handily and come playoff time..
2. bloody gasol and Randolph seem to get the better of us recently
3. Clips are as you say a bad match up. They also have the most talent of the 3 teams when healthy.

Ya, none are easy at all. The clippers just have too much talent so I would really like to avoid them.

Thunder are kinda a one man show, albeit a really good one, so I like our chances against them.

Stylistically memphis vs utah would be fun to watch. Knock down, drag out 7 game brawl. Last team standing advances.
 
Nets beat the Grizz on the road wtf. Just need Boston to finish off the Clippers now.

So , ranking them from 1-3 , 1
Being most preferred, 3 being least preferred, who do you want to play in 1st round playoff ?? Consider all teams to be 100% healthy.
Clippers , Grizzlies or Thunder ??
Can also just give 1 preference

easy

1. Grizzlies

*big gap*

2. Thunder
3. Clippers

if Favors isn't healthy, Blake Griffin will absolutely buzzsaw whoever we put in at the 4. I straight up fear the Clippers more than I fear the Rockets or the Spurs.
 
Good. Jazz could use the cushion. Hard stretch to close out the season. Jazz need to start their run now. @ Houston is next...
