The Day of Truth
Posted: Wed Apr 17, 2013 7:15 pm
This is the day where it will be decided if we may get McCollum as the steal of the draft at #14thish or if we get [insert future D-Leaguer here} with the 30th Miami pick.
Here are the odds:
Jazz @ Grizzlies (8:00 pm ET): there is a chance that Memphis plays soft, because of their minimal chances of getting Home Court Advantage. To do so, the Clippers would have to lose @ Sacramento (10:30pm, ET), which is very unlikely. Nevertheless, to admit "defeat" may be too much, and most likely the Grizzlies will play all they have. A tough challenge for Utah, which nevertheless will be the most motivated of the two, since their season is on the line. Milsap and Al Jefferson are playing for huge(r) contracts, too.
Houston @ Lakers (10:30 pm, ET): no Nash, no Kobe for the Lakers. Both teams are fully motivated for the game: if Lakers lose, and Utah wins (the result should be known by the time the game starts), Lakers season is over as the biggest frustration ever, given early expectations on this team, and this kinda makes up for our ugly season (it really doesn't). If Houston loses, they lose their 7th seed to the Lakers, and are destined to face OKC in the 1st round, vs playing a very weakened Spurs (No Ginobili, injured Parker and Diaw) if they keep 7th seed. So do not expect Houston to back down, much to the contrary.
Refs vs Suns Fans (an eternal battle, ALLTHETIME): take your notepad and film, edit and make a cool compilation of all the questionable calls on all 3 crucial games tonight so we can add many many minutes to the Lakers Conspiration Theory video circulating (posted by Kerrsed somewhere)
