I say sell but we come up really close like 59 or 58 I just think that we might slip up on a game or two that we should win.

It's not an unquestionable, I'd say we have a 50-50 shot at doing it, but like drsd said we may start resting people like hedo.

I said 62 to start the season and I'm sticking with it. We are just starting to get warmed up people and now the real Rafer show begins! Or something like that.

Why not bench the starters once we clinch the 4th seed?
If the 2 is out of reach, and 3 plays Detroit?

Minimum minutes like in the NFL when win or lose it does not change your seed?
Go in to the playoff nice and rested and let clevland and boston wear themselves out battling for the 1.

Another of there goals before the season started was be playing there best ball when the playoffs start... Nobody will be getting rest. They will be play the normal minutes, if blowouts occur like last night then yes, the rest will come from those games..... SVG is not that kind of coach to just "rest" guys.

sell. if there wasn't a post season, i'd say buy, but i believe Stan will begin to rest players soon, and losses will come with that.

also factoring in that we lose to some cake walk teams as it is, so a few of those 'definites' aren't so definite.

G-Heel wrote:Sell, I think we'll rest our starters toward the end of the season, so we might lose some of those games. Definitely doable though, only team we would have trouble with are Boston, Cle, and Houston. Utah sucks on the road so I'm not scare of them.
But we could have alot to play for however so that may not happen. that would give us home court for two rounds if we can get the 2nd seed

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

Also, it's almost impossible for us to fall into 4th seed now, we're 10.5 games ahead of Atlanta, when we clinch 4th seed, we'd have to lose almost all the games and Atlanta have to win many of their games to pass us.

It's within reach........
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability
