Besides, it's FAN APPRECIATION night. I hope they put on another awesome show.

But funny things can happen in the playoffs. In '91, after the L*kers got lucky and beat the Blazers, they went into the finals and Magic/Scott pulled their hammys = advantage Bulls. A key injury to Bryant, Gasol, etc could swing round 2 Portland's way. (Youneverknow...as Juaqin Andujar would say) “I don’t see them beating LA in a series”

If Denver rests key players, then I'd rest key players, otherwise I play to win. I believe that if Ho loses also then Po can be 3rd seed playing NO and in opposite bracket from LA, which I think is worth playing for because LA is the road block in the west and it'd be nice to get them in the west finals. I believe Po can beat any other team in a seven game series, even without home court, but I don't see them beating LA in a series. I disagree with this post.
