[Game 81] Houston Rockets vs. New Orleans Hornets

[Teckon]

I really expect Laker to beat Jazz. It is their last game of the season and is at home. It will be a mental edge and kind of celebration for the laker at home. Meaning Jazz will get 8th.

I hope you are right. LA does have their number and probably would rather see them than NO or Dallas but at the same time I don't think the Lakers fear anyone out West.

But like I said...Utah IMO is out of the equation for us b/c I don't think we'll beat Dallas. We have never won the season series against them in this era. Not gonna start now.

^ Over a four-game season series, 3-1 is some effort. We at worst will go 2-2 against them and have the tiebreak over them (not that it is needed).

The Lakers will probably wipe the floor with whoever comes 8th.

Don't think they would tank to avoid Utah like we are. We just want to avoid them because they have a very deep team, have the psychological edge over us, and dangerously, all they need is to win 1/4 in Houston to be in control, as they are strong atr home.

In the off chance that the Jazz managed to defeat the Lake show tomorrow. We need to lose to the Mavs to ensure that Jazz won't go higher than 7th.

If Jazz beat Laker
Mavs beat Rocket
Hornets beat Spurs.
Then Hornet is 6th, Mavs is 7th, Jazz is 8th.



If Jazz beat Laker
Mavs beat Rocket
Hornets lose to Spurs
Then Mavs is 6th, Jazz is 7th, Hornet 8th



Only way the Jazz get 6th is if
Jazz beat laker
Mavs lose to Rocket
Hornet lose to Spurs

How did Yao look? Hobbled?

1st half he did, he bounced back and scored a lot in the 2nd.

Best center in the game baby.

He looked hobbled and gimpy first half?
