Don't look now but...
Since the Rockets lost to Suns tonight, if the Lakers beat the Rockets on Wednesday then the Lakers will clinch the #7 seed and would be set to face the San Antonio Spurs in round 1.
And if they beat the Spurs, they can potentially face the Denver Nuggets in round 2 (who are without Farried, Gallonari, etc).
Wow, talk about hard luck. Houston better make tomorrow's game their most important game of the season if they want to seal that seed and the Lakers' fate, if Utah beats Memphis.
