    With Denver losing and the Rockets winning, there is a tie for 3rd. Lakers have a controlling lead in the West. Here's 2-9:

    2. Spurs 40-19
    3. Rockets/Nuggets 39-22 2 games back
    5. Hornets/Blazers 37-22 3 games back
    7. Jazz 37-23 3.5 back
    8. Mavs 36-24 4.5 back
    9. Suns 34-26 6.5 back

    the rockets will lose tommorrow in Utah.
    If the rockets win in Utah off of a back2back than you can pretty much win anywhere.

    I just don't see it happening

    Why the did we have to blow that lead against Chicago?

    Houston's blown leads this season to horrible teams are going to cost them the chance at the #2 sead.

    Its really hard winning in Utah on a back-to-back. Al ude, annoying fans, usually get a fresh Jazz team. We played both of our games in Utah the next night after playing at the Lakers

    If the Rockets don't get the 3rd seed, then we should. I'm confident we can pass Denver and Portland. Utah will get the 4th seed most likely, but I think we have a really good chance to get the 3rd spot. I think we're a better team on the road compared to the Blues.

    Denver is on the way down. 5-5 over the last 10 games. I don't see them staying up for long. Rest of the Western Conf teams are going to pass them up. George Karl has annoyed his players to the point that they don't listen to him anymore as evidence of Carmelo's refusal to come out of the game leading to his suspension. Surging teams are the Rockets 8-2, Hornets 7-3, Utah 9-1, and Portland 7-3.

    Lakers are also 7-3 so don't see anyone catching them.

    Great so not only do we have to play in Utah on a B2B, we have to play in the mile high city on a B2B (those games are nearly impossible to win), and we also have to play SA on a B2B.

    Nice scheduling there.

    Utah doesn't play home games on Sunday so that really helps them when the schedule is made

    The 3 Division champions get the top 3 seeds so the Rockets and Hornets can only get as high as #4 as long as they're behind San Antonio.

    Wrong. The 3 division champions are only guaranteed a top 4 spot. The best record out of the rest of the teams also is guaranteed a top 4 spot. Those 4 teams are then seeded according to their records.

    Therefore, the Rockets or Hornets can be the 3rd seed.
