Halfway through the week and things look interesting. If current scores remain the same, the standings would be:
East Boston 10-4 Brooklyn 9-5 -- Tampa Bay 8-6 Atlanta 8-6 Chicago 8-6
West Memphis 13-1 Houston 10-4 Kansas City 9-5 -- Utah 8-6 Portland 8-6 Oklahoma City 8-6 Seattle 8-6

It's always possible that LMA might go crazy and swing some categories but seems unlikely. As things currently stand : EAST Brooklyn 10-4 clinched Boston 10-4 clinched Chicago 8-6 Tampa 8-6 Atlanta 8-6 WEST Memphis 13-1 clinched Houston 10-4 clinched Kansas City 9-5 OKC 8-6 Seattle 8-6 Utah 8-6 Portland 7-7 Still some games today, but it looks like only POR-HOU and BKN-WSH will come to down the wire, the rest is pretty much set.

Don't think I'll be pulling it off this week. Had i played Portis or Cedi over Melton, I'd feel a lot more comfortable about my position.
53 points and 1 steal is tenuous.

WEST 1. Memphis Grizzlies (13-1) - CLINCHED
2. Houston Rockets (10-4)
MAGIC NUMBER: 1
REMAINING SCHEDULE: Minnesota (6-8), Golden State (5-9)
OUTLOOK: Win and they're in.
3. Kansas City Kings (9-5)
MAGIC NUMBER: 2
REMAINING SCHEDULE: Portland (8-6), Tampa Bay (8-6)
TIEBREAKERS WON: OKC, Utah, Seattle
OUTLOOK: The Kings can clinch a spot this week with a win over Portland, and a Seattle loss to Memphis.
4. Portland Trailblazers (8-6)
REMAINING SCHEDULE: Kansas City (9-5), Seattle (8-6)
TIEBREAKERS WON: Minnesota, OKC, Utah
OUTLOOK: The Blazers have moved into the fourth playoff spot thanks to their wins over OKC and Utah. They can't clinch a spot with a win over KC, but if they win, Utah, Seattle, Minnesota and OKC all lose, then they're in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Utah Jazz (8-6)
REMAINING SCHEDULE: Chicago (8-6), Oklahoma City (8-6)
TIEBREAKERS WON: Minnesota
OUTLOOK: Losing to Las Vegas may have been the death knell for the Jazz. Just a bad loss any way you slice it. Given their losses to KC, Portland and Seattle, they're going to need a TON of help.
6. Oklahoma City Thunder (8-6)
REMAINING SCHEDULE: Brooklyn (9-5), Utah (8-6)
TIEBREAKERS WON: Seattle
OUTLOOK: With Portland knocking off Houston, the Thunder almost have to win their last two. If they do that, they'll get in. If not, it'll depend on tiebreakers, of which the Thunder don't own a lot of.
7. Seattle Supersonics (8-6)
REMAINING SCHEDULE: Memphis (13-1), Portland (8-6)
TIEBREAKERS WON: Utah, Minnesota
OUTLOOK: An absolute monster win over Tampa Bay kept the Sonics alive. Technically, they don't have to win out to get in... but it'll be tough if they don't.
8. Minnesota Timberwolves (6-8) - ELIMINATED
9. Golden State Warriors (5-8) - ELIMINATED
10. Las Vegas Gamblers (3-10) - ELIMINATED
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EAST 1. Boston Celtics (10-4)
MAGIC NUMBER: 1
REMAINING SCHEDULE: Atlanta (8-6), Toronto (2-12)
TIEBREAKERS WON: Chicago
OUTLOOK: Boston moved into the top spot thanks to Brooklyn's loss. However, they technically haven't clinched yet. A win this week, or losses by either Tampa or Chicago, will get it done.
2. Brooklyn Nets (9-5)
MAGIC NUMBER: 1
REMAINING SCHEDULE: Oklahoma City (8-6), Atlanta (8-6)
TIEBREAKERS WON: Boston, Chicago
OUTLOOK: OKC is dealing with some injuries, and Atlanta blew it up, so if Boston slips up, Brooklyn can jump back to the top line.
3. Chicago Bulls (8-6)
REMAINING SCHEDULE: Utah (8-6), Cleveland (0-14)
TIEBREAKERS WON: Tampa Bay, Atlanta
OUTLOOK: Wins over Tampa Bay and Atlanta have the Bulls in the third spot. A win and losses by either Tampa Bay or Atlanta gets them in.
4. Tampa Bay Bull Sharks (8-6)
MAGIC NUMBER: 2
REMAINING SCHEDULE: Washington (6-8), Kansas City (9-5)
TIEBREAKERS WON: Brooklyn, Boston, Atlanta
OUTLOOK: Tampa's spot is suddenly tenuous because of an early season loss to Colorado. That said, a win and an Atlanta loss gets them in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Atlanta Hawks (8-6)
REMAINING SCHEDULE: Boston (10-4), Brooklyn (9-5)
TIEBREAKERS WON:
OUTLOOK: The Hawks looked like the best team in the East the first five weeks of the season. Now, they've blown it up and look likely to miss the playoffs.
6. Colorado Swannies (5-8)
REMAINING SCHEDULE: Cleveland (0-14), Minnesota (6-8)
OUTLOOK: First, let me apologize again for the error last week. When I was projecting out records, I misread the tiebreakers, and left out the one scenario that can get Colorado into the playoffs. For the Swannies to get in, they would have to win out. Tampa Bay and Atlanta would have to lose out, Chicago would have to win one, and Washington would have to lose to Orlando. That would leave Colorado, Tampa Bay and Atlanta tied at 8-8 for the last spot. Since each team beat the other, it would go to total categories won on the year. Atlanta has currently won 64 categories, Colorado is at 57 and Tampa is at 67. It's a long shot, but it's technically possible, and I should have found that last week.
7. Washington Wizards (6-8)
REMAINING SCHEDULE: Tampa Bay (8-6), Orlando (4-10)
OUTLOOK: For the Wizards, it's a similar theme as Colorado. They need to win out and end up in a three-way tie with Tampa Bay and Atlanta, which would force things to total categories won. Washington is sitting at 64.
8. Orlando Magic (4-10) - ELIMINATED
9. Toronto Raptors (2-12) - ELIMINATED
10. Cleveland Cavaliers (0-14) - ELIMINATED
