2016-17 Hype Train Playoff Chase!!!

A pretty awesome night overall with LAC, HOU, and MEM losing. Also finally we clinch. I'm starting to second guess how hard we want to root against OKC though now. If we can hold on to the 4 spot I'd still much prefer to play then instead of LAC. Maybe time to start rooting for some victories on their end?
 
We need a healthy favors you guys. I think we're forgetting how crucial that ******* is to this team.

Some of us haven't.

I don't think he's an a-hole at all. And given Rudy's meteoric rise this season, I think we'd be Spurs level if he was healthy.

Been saying this for a while now.

I really hope not. I think our team is built for playoff basketball.

Yep, people have talked so much about Favors ruining our spacing, but come playoff time a Gobert/Favors front line will murder teams. However, I don't have a lot of hope for Favors to be full strength this year. Praying he proves me wrong.
 
Hard to get too excited until we start playing better, but last night was great.

OKC will not catch us. It's all about getting HC when playing the Clips.
 
Reading the comments on the Clippers forum was awesome. They just completely **** all over their team.
Beautiful to see my guy Buddy Hield play a key roll in the comeback of the century.

That victory was a gift from the gods.

No doubt. I'm definitely rooting for the Thunder.
Not only because I would rather play them than the clipps but also cause if the clipps pass us for the 4th spot then I prefer the Thunder to pass us too and get us that 6th spot.
 
Last night was another perfect night for the jazz and they didn't even play!!

Clippers, Grizzlies and Thunder all lost. As did the Nuggets which clinched the playoff berth for the Jazz!!!!

Also the Warriors are now 2.5 up on the Spurs. Jazz play the Warriors and Spurs 3 times in the final 6 games, including the final 2 games of the season. If they're seeding is set by then they could be resting players...

Tonight's games:

Pelicans @ Jazz (Cousins is OUT, Hayward is QUESTIONABLE, Favors is OUT)
Cavs @ Spurs
Thunder @ Mavs
Grizzlies @ Kings

I'm torn on the Thunder game. Them losing is always good but could they catch the Clippers? I'd rather face OKC than LAC.

OP updated.
 
Also the with the Nuggets loss last night the Blazers are now the 8th seed as they own the tie breaker.

Unless the Mavs get hot and the Nuggets and Blazers both falter it'll be 3 NW teams in the playoffs.
 
Done. I'll go every Sunday.

Which makes me think. Can I go to a Sunday service at a temple when I'm out there? Would I have to get dressed up?

At a temple? no. At a local congregation? Absolutely. And while dressing up is encouraged it is in no way mandatory. I've seen people in a tank top, cut off shorts and flip flops.
