    The team that’s done the most to help their chances of making the playoffs over the past week and a half is… The Utah Jazz, who have gone 4-1 since January 7th. Their odds of making the playoffs has jumped by 13% and it’s now sitting pretty at 64%. The Wizards have seen a nice bump as well. They’ve only gone 3-2, but have increased their chances of winning the division by 10% thanks to the Magic, who had some tough road losses last week on their way to a 2-4 record.

    It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over: If my math is correct, one of the teams in the West with over a 50% chance of making the playoffs is going to be left out of the scrum. Is it going to be the Warriors? The Jazz? The Blazers? I guess that’s why they play the games rather than having a computer simulate them.

    Put Away the History Books: With their recent losing “streak”, the Celtics chances of winning 70+ games has fallen to 0.04%. For perspective, that’s less of a chance than the Knicks have of making the playoffs this year.

      anyone watch the suns lakers game last night? i lol’d when they told the story about barbosa having a rough day.

      I guess barbosa checked into the team hotel under his own name. He got a call from teh front desk saying he had an important message waiting for him. When he got to the front desk a letter or phone call or something claiming ot be steve kerr (GM or VP of the suns). Saying that he has been traded to the New york Knicks. So barbosa calls someone, (maybe calling kerr back?) and says “i thought you guys liked me, you traded me to the knicks?!?! SO yeah, i guess it is that bad to be a knick or even be threatened to become a knick. the knicks are the new clippers.

      eh, forgot to mention is was just a prank call. a good prank call.

      I wonder if it was someone affiliated with the Lakers who pulled off the prank? If so, that’s taking game strategy to a whole new level.
