Went against my gut twice this year. First when I didn't sit Bron, and it cost me against Colorado. Then tonight when I didn't sit Shump, and it cost me against Utah.
By the way, I appreciate the reverse jinxing going on right now by just penciling in me for the East...

I'm just glad I survived another week of injuries!

Sorry I'm late here guys, I'll try and keep this short and sweet. The West moved to 35-21 against the East this year, winning all four match-ups in week 11. Both conferences are going haywire as we enter the home stretch.
Tampa Bay (6-5) over Boston (7-4), 5-4 So... the Bull Sharks are now just 1 game back of the division leading Hawks and own the tiebreaker in that head-to-head. Four straight wins, and victories over Boston, Atlanta and Brooklyn, have vaulted the Bull Sharks into the conversation for the top seed in the East. They'll try to keep the hot streak going against Toronto. Boston will try and rebound against Washington
Utah (7-4) over Brooklyn (8-3), 5-4 Speaking of teams making a move, the Jazz have now won 5 straight and moved into a tie with the Sonics for first in the Pacific. They held on by three made shots. Utah can take firmer grasp on a playoff spot with a win against Minnesota. Brooklyn can do the same against Chicago.
Seattle (7-4) over Las Vegas (3-8), 5-4 The Sonics held onto the first spot in the Pacific by flipping threes and assists on the final day against the Gamblers. They're tied with the Jazz, but currently hold the top spot because they own the tiebreaker. Seattle faces Golden State. Vegas gets Kansas City (Is this still a rivalry?)
Kansas City (6-5) over Golden State (4-7), 6-3 The Kings leapt back into the playoff conversation with a solid win over Golden State. With Lou Williams back and Larry Nance playing his best all-around ball, Kansas City looks as formidable as ever. They get rival Vegas next. Golden State faces Seattle.
Memphis (10-1) over Minnesota (6-5), 5-4 The Grizz are still terribly banged up, but they keep finding ways to win. They're inching closer and closer to a playoff spot, and there's a good chance they will be the first to clinch. Their win sets up our game of the year against Houston. Minnesota gets another touch match-up with the streaking Jazz.
Oklahoma City (5-6) over Atlanta (7-4), 5-3-1 It might be a long shot, but the Thunder are still alive for the playoffs following their upset win of Atlanta. Meanwhile, Atlanta is in pretty serious trouble with the injuries piling up. They'll look to get back to the winning column against Orlando. OKC gets the Swannies.
Chicago (6-5) over Colorado (5-6), 8-1 The Bulls dominated the Swannies to move into the last playoff spot (they've already beat the Bull Sharks). Chicago is on a roll, and a win over Brooklyn will go a long way to making the playoffs. Colorado might be done, with the John Wall news, but there's still hope given their weak closing schedule.
Portland (5-6) over Toronto (2-9), 5-4 The playoffs have already started for Portland, and they've won their first two rounds. They need to keep it up against Cleveland to set up the sprint to the finish. Toronto goes to Tampa Bay.
Washington (5-6) over Cleveland (0-11), 6-3 The Wizards playoff run may have ended before it began with Rondo, Bazemore and Lamb all going out (in addition to Henson already being hurt). The Wizards will have a tough game against Boston. Cleveland goes to Portland.
Houston (9-2) over Orlando (2-9), 5-3-1 The Rockets held off the Magic, and now the top seed in the West will be determined. Orlando gets the flailing Hawks.

Anyone else rooting for total chaos down the stretch? If Chicago, Washington, Colorado, Toronto, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Kansas City, Houston, Minnesota and Golden State all win this week (STILL POSSIBLE), then we'd have the following standings:
EAST Brooklyn 8-4 Boston 7-5 Atlanta 7-5 Chicago 7-5 Tampa Bay 6-6 Colorado 6-6 Washington 6-6 Toronto 3-9 Orlando 3-9
WEST Houston 10-2 Memphis 10-2 Seattle 7-5 Utah 7-5 Kansas City 7-5 Minnesota 7-5 Portland 6-6 Golden State 5-7 Oklahoma City 5-7 Las Vegas 4-8
Cleveland would be the only eliminated team with 4 weeks to go.

Well I'm not rooting for it cause I would have losses againts Tampa, Colorado, Nets and Wizards. Nearly all tie breakers lost. Worst part is thats very likely..I'm missing Mirotic more than I thought I would

Worst part is thats very likely..I'm missing Mirotic more than I thought I would There are going to be some funky tiebreaker situations in the East. I can't even wrap my head around it right now. At this point, I might want to be Colorado... unless they finish tied with Chicago and/or Atlanta. If you and Chicago win this week, then there's a 3-way tie in the north at 8-4 with each of the three teams having beaten the other (rock, paper, scissors situation). If all three finish tied, then we'd go to total categories won, which is a total toss-up at this point. Once that is decided, we could be looking at another three-way tie with non-division winners, or even a four-way tie for two spots. If that happened, it would be an absolute nightmare to figure out. So I guess that means I'm not rooting for chaos haha

So it looks like Tampa is gonna win. Wizards are very close too, its 5-3-1 and I guess I will win on steals and points but lose on turnovers, 5-4. Magic are close to beating the Hawks and Nets&Coloardo have nail bitters ahead of them tonight.

\Wizards are very close too, its 5-3-1 and I guess I will win on steals and points but lose on turnovers, 5-4. Sucks to have Rondo, Bazemore, and probably Lamb all out today... edit: meant to check at 6:55 pm to take out Tommy B and Thad Young if I was winning TO. Checked at 7:04 pm when Bryant had already locked. Up currently winning TO 43-44. Boston still has Bojan left to play.

It's hard to put into words how bad Avery Bradley has been this year. The fact that Doc keeps playing him should get that man fired.
