I know... I know it sucks, but if we're hoping for a Mavs/Nuggets first round then we have to pull for the Lakers to win on Saturday. If they don't win on Saturday, then I'm pretty sure Portland puts it on cruise control for their last game. They will clinch the 6th seed with a Lakers loss tomorrow night and I'm sure they'd rather play the Nuggets than the Clippers. With a Nuggets win they get the 3rd seed. If the Lakers win tomorrow night then Portland has to play all out on Sunday to avoid the play in tournament. I don't think the Lakers care who they play in the first round, they think they can past the 1st round regardless of their opponent.

Maybe I'm just ramblin which certainly wouldn't be the first time.
