The idea that we are locked into the 8th slot is preposterous. The odds are not in our favor, but it's not that ridiculous to think we could move up.

That's why I said the Mavs have to hope that other teams slide/fall. Because Dallas isn't going to take it from them. New Orleans will probably beat the Mavs both times. That will put them clearly ahead of the Mavs. So that team is out.
Utah has a tough schedule but all they have to do is sneak a win or two against one of those teams. It isn't like they have to just play lights out down the stretch. And it wouldn't surprise me to see LA rest their guys to get ready for the playoffs.
