As tempting as it is to fast forward to a Rockets-Warriors conference finals, it's worth noting that the next three teams in the West standings (Trail Blazers, Thunder and Jazz) are a combined 25-2 in March.

From Twitter

Ty Portland for contributing strongly to this in March.

Portland. 44-26
vs Rockets, vs Celtics, @Sonics, @Pelicans, @Grizz, vs Clippers, vs Grizz, @Mavs, @Rockets, @Spurs, @Nuggets, vs Jazz
If Portland goes 6-6 over these next 12 games. It forces every team at 40-30 to go 10-2 in order to force tiebreakers.
If Portland goes 9-3 they guarantee HCA in the first round.

ZombieSonics. 43-29
@Celtics, vs Heat, vs Blazers, @Spurs, vs Nuggets, @Pelicans, vs Warriors, @Rockets, @Heat, vs Grizz
Sonics are the only team with a real chance to take the 3rd seed from Portland. They must finish a full game ahead of Portland due to losing the season series to them

Jazz. 40-30
vs Hawks, @Mavs, @Spurs, @GSW, vs Celtics, vs Grizz, @Minn, vs Lakers, vs Clippers, @Lakers, vs GSW, @Blazers
Regardless of SoS or injuries to opponents. You can only play whos infront of you.
Utah is the only team of the 40-30 club which has the chance to get 10+ wins in their last 12 games.

Pelicans. 40-30
@Mavs, vs Pacers, vs Lakers, @Rockets, vs Blazers, @Cavs, vs Sonics, vs Grizz, @Suns, @GSW, @Clippers, vs Spurs.
AD leads the league in fouls called for him. Gentry doesn't know what he's talking about.

Spurs. 40-30
vs GSW, vs Wiz, vs Jazz, @Bucks, @Wiz, vs OKC, vs Rockets, @Clippers, @Lakers, vs Blazers, vs Kings, @Pelicans
Machine might need some oil.

Minn Bulls. 40-31
vs Clippers, @NYK, @Philly, vs Grizz, vs Hawks, @Mavs, vs Jazz, @Nuggets, @Lakers, vs Grizz, vs Nuggets
Bulls looking like they'll make the playoffs.

Nuggets. 38-32
@Heat, @Chicago, @Wiz, @Philly, @Raptors, @Sonics, vs Bucks, vs Pacers, vs Minn, @Clippers, vs Blazers, @Minn.
11-22 on the road. Nuggets are just god awful on the road.

Clippers. 37-32
@Minn, @Bucks, @Pacers, @Raptors, vs Bucks, @Suns, @Blazers, vs Pacers, vs Spurs, @Jazz, vs Nuggets, vs Lakers.
Clippers are all but out of this race.


OKC could do some damage in the playoffs.

I'm worried about the Clippers a bit as a Blazers fan. I think you're right on the money but it still screams trap to me. And the Clips are still fighting a bit. Really need to just own Memphis and try and take one off the Spurs.

I think Houston might rest a bit which will help, and the Jazz are scary. 51-31 would be savage considering LMA left the 55-win squad to play for Pop.

Being that I took a typing class in school it took me all of 5 minutes to type up.

It's cute you're still following me around trying to get my attention like a teenage girl.
