It is pivotal we tank and go for the #4 seed...

the magic number for HCA against Utah is two. We gotta win our next game and hope Utah loses theirs. Otherwise we have to beat Utah at home on Wednesday. Pop can't rest people and take that game lightly.

Yeah looks like this thing might not be decided till the last game of the year and who knows if Manu will even play.

The thing is Manu IS healthy enough to play (could've played today actually) but I'm hoping Pop at the very least is willing to get HCA through ONE of the rounds of the playoffs

They have to win these last two games. I don't want them to lose home court against Utah or down the line potentially, Phoenix. If Manu was healthy enough to play today then that means he should be ready to go tomorrow against Sac.

And yes, we absolutely need him to win up there. They're tough at home. The Kings are probably good enough to be a playoff team in the East, even with all the injuries they've had.

Pop needs to pull out all the stops these next two games. Play Manu and give Brent and Horry some run too. None of this "seeds don't matter" B.S. I don't like our chances without home court against Utah or Phoenix.

We've got to win our last two to make this happen.... come on guys.

It's pivotal that you kill yourself.

I predict a first round matchup with the Spurs and the Suns.

I wouldn't be shocked if Manu plays wednesday to keep home court.

The Spurs have a tradition of playing the team they are gonna face in the first round the last game of the year.
