[housecall]

Im looking forward tomorrow to the doubleheader on ABC with the Cavs vs Magic at 1pm,followed by our Celtics vs the Nuggets at 3:30pm.Which team do you want to win in the first game?As much as i hate both teams i rather see the Magic beat the Cavs.

I'm rooting for a double KO between LeBron and Howard.

I'm rooting for a double KO between LeBron and Howard.

Howard has been playing pretty decent lately,but the Cavs have lost back to back games and need to get back on track.It should be a good one.

[Tai]

Yeah. The Magic winning helps us, since the Cavs lose another game, thus another chance to gain on the Cavs if we beat the Nuggets.

I think Cleveland has a lot of room up in first place and it will be tough to catch them, but I still can't bring myself to cheer for either team.

Our game is on ABC? Well that means I can't watch it. I hate ABC.

it's a "found money" game for us - i just want to avoid humiliation ... no matter what happens, this has been a very successful road trip

[PosImpos]

I'd prefer for the Magic to lose.  We're not catching the Cavs at this point (barring an injury to LeBron), but there's a decent chance we can overtake the Magic if we maintain a high level of play.

I hope that we beat the Nuggets but it's not a big deal; we've won 3 out of 4 on this road trip including a win against the Lakers so beating the Nuggets would be just gravy in my opinion.  It's unlikely we'll face the Nuggets in the playoffs (though not impossible).

I would love to see them square off out there.  A little MMA on the court.  Then some down time for both.

Nah, we're better off if the Cavs win - we're much more in a battle for the 2nd seed than the 1st.  But either way we gain ground if we can beat Denver.  Denver's no cakewalk, though, they always seem to play us well.

[Celtic]

Lebron goes for the Dunk, Howard the block, the ball explodes, both miss the remainder of the season with broken hands. Lebron signs with the Clippers, Dwight Howard retires, Kobe switches to baseball, the Celtics win 10 rings in a row.

Cleveland's lead is not safe, the C's are going to track them down, mark my words.

[sk7326]

focus in on denver - will be the best team we have seen this trip, and the one that is at full strength.  if we can hang with them i will be impressed.  the elevation, 3 games in 4 days - shorthanded, will be an impressive victory.

[Greenbean]

If Jamison is going to take a while to get acclimated, we may have a shot of catching Cleveland. 5 games in the L collumn is not impossible.

Imagine saying that a week ago?

[celticinorlando]

if the cavs win and boston can win, boston will have made up the games they were behind and in the second seed. we aren't going to really catch the cavs but i want the magic behind us

[Tai]

Yeah. The Magic winning helps us, since the Cavs lose another game, thus another chance to gain on the Cavs if we beat the Nuggets.

Well, that's good and all, but just curious; am I supposed to assume the Cavs will beat us in our last 3 meetings? Cause if we go at least 2-1 against them in these 3 meetings, that's one game gained on the Cavs, plus we have the tiebreaker.

Just saying.

I'll take the Magic losing, but our cushion won't improve if the Hawks beat Golden State on Sunday, either.
