WTF.

if Denver beats Memphis tonight
if the Mavs lose to the Clippers tomorrow.
and if Denver beats Dallas on Thursday
then Denver will be ahead of Dallas in the standings and will also own the tiebreaker against them.
that scenario is VERY possible now that Dirk is out. and if Dallas beats the Clippers but Denver goes 2-0 this week then wouldn't Denver still be ahead of Dallas based on tiebreakers?
