Denver is 7-3 in their last 10 games. They are currently a .5 game ahead of Dallas who owns the tie-breaker between the 2. Denver owns the tie-breakers over Houston and Phoenix who they have 2 game leads over. They'll be motivated, but still in a comfortable position to make the playoffs if they lose (basically a 2 game advantage over Houston/Phoenix due to tie-breakers).

We've got to win period. Our last 5 are against 4 playoff teams and a Hornets team that will be led by a revenge-seeking Eric Gordon. The playoff teams aren't exactly elite teams, but still solid competition nonetheless. The Clippers can't control everything around them, but they can control what they do on the court. They have to win and let everything else play itself out and deal with it on April 28th.

Denver is a pretty good rebounding team, but kind of average on the offensive glass. They turn the ball over a lot and that's something we're going to have to capitalize on. They're currently the top scoring team in the league, but give up the 3rd most points. They're going to push the tempo and have the thin air on their side. Our guys just have to keep on doing what they have been doing.

I'm an East coaster too. Through 04-05 and 05-06, I would stay up and watch games till 1, then it didn't work as well with my schedule for a little while, so I switched to watching games after whenever I could. It's been good this year though.

With that said, atta boy Foye!

Milwaukee lost to Washington? I guess they don't want that final spot.

The Ellis experiment never works. :-?

It's like they gave up all their defense for some offense.

34-22 Denver after 1. We've been struggling to get decent looks and haven't done much with the ones we did get. Denver is owning the battle of the boards 12-4 so far. They're pushing the tempo and getting whatever they want. They're playing Nugget basketball. Nugget ball and Clipper ball are on opposite ends of the spectrum.
