Portland randomly going on a streak and Lakers winning games they shouldn't win. *Sighs*

That Blazers schedule looks pretty good for our 5th seed chances…. But then again I thought the same thing when they played Utah last night.

Let’s just hope the Mavs can take care of their end above all else.

I think that the Lakers winning could be a good thing, as it increases the odds of finishing 5th. To finish 7th, the Mavs would need to lose their last two, I doubt that it happens. If the Mavs lose 1 game, then the Lakers winning is a good thing. If the Mavs win their last 2, then the Lakers winning doesn't matter. Statistically, the Lakers winning is a plus.

It's all about Portland losing one game.

Mavs need to win next game. I don't believe any of us want to watch must win last game against 6-4 Timberwolves.

It's very questionable how much interest Suns and Denver have in those games. Denver very probably 0, Suns might have some, but it's probably easier for Suns to dodge Lakers if they lose last 3 games. I hope Portland loses tonight, because I doubt very much they will against Denver.

Yeah, I thought that Utah was the most likely loss with Denver the least likely.

Portland has been on a roll. Playing bad against sub .500 teams are hurting the Mavs right now.

We have an 8-2 record in our last ten games. Toronto just wants the season to end as soon as possible.

Toronto tomorrow and Minnesota on the 16th to end the regular season.

Portland really screwed that up. I was certain it was over when booker traveled with 6 sec left

Now that the Raps have the 7th seed locked up, the Raps could play their starters again. Not that it would guarantee a win for the Raps, but the unbridled tanking of games where the entire starting lineup is injured or resting is over.

This should be a fun game.

What do you mean Raps have 7th seed locked up? Was that a typo?

LOL, I meant 7th pick locked up -- not seed. Apologies...

In any case, our starters and some of our 2nd unit are out today anyway. Mavs vs. the Raps 'C' team tonight.

All good, unfortunately that doesn't mean much for the Mavs. They got swept by Sacramento and just list to Memphis's B team
