Both the Warriors and the Clippers won today though the Warriors were hoping the Suns will win at home and eliminate the Clippers. The W's were expecting to win at home against the Mavs who, as it turned out, decided to rest everybody and start 5 guys most people even in Dallas have not even heard of. The Suns on the other hand played everybody, but still lost. They have now lost 2 games in a row going in to the playoffs. The Clippers showed up and closed out a good win to stay alive. They held the Suns to 99 as the Suns were off the mark with their shots. I guess the Suns were not sharp in this one though they all played. In Oakland, Warriors handled the C-team of the Mavs pretty easily. So it's all set for the final day of the regular season. A Warrior win or a Clipper loss will put Golden State in the playoffs after 13 years. Only way the Clip-joint get in is if they win and the W's lose.
Toronto lost at Detroit, but the Raptors rested CB-4. Cleveland won at Phily to stay in race for the 2-Nd spot in the East. Washington lost to Orlando at home, but Jamison had 48 points. He is going to have some huge games and bad losses in the playoffs.
Dallas @ Golden State - 82-111
LA Clippers @ Phoenix - 103-99
Toronto @ Detroit - 84-100
Interesting games on the board for Apr 18-Th (Wednesday)
LA Lakers @ Sacramento - A loss here and the Lakers may end up in the 8-th.
Golden State @ Portland - Win the the W's are in. Lose, they need the Clips to lose too.
NO/OK Hornets @ LA Clippers - A loss here and the paper-clips are out. A win here and a Warrior loss will put the Clips in the tournament.
Denver @ San Antonio - A playoff preview if anybody plays in this one.
Houston @ Utah - Another playoff preview. Not sure if the starters will play in this one either.
