Easier to keep the lead when we don't have the competition, eh?

I know! That's why I'm rooting for NoMich.

If you truly want to root for me, you will go back to June and find out who won the NBA playoffs pick 'em.

Now for the unfinished business:
Thursday, Mar. 28:
Nuggets need this one to tie Golden State for 1st in the West. Rockets have a 2-game lead over Utah for a home court position. If both are playing for position, then I favor Houston, but is it possible that one or both might be "looking at their playoff options"? Denver by 6
Friday, Mar. 29:
I gave away my seats for this one to a fund raiser for the PTO at the school where my wife works, and I now regret it. I will be going to a comedy night event that our church runs (as a fund raiser) every year during Lent. It's something to briefly take one's mind off of the theme of repentance and introspection that goes with the season. Will I be laughing as the fans at TD Garden are crying? Celtics need this one to even the record between the 2 teams and give themselves a shot at home court for the first round of the playoffs. Of course, Pacers will be trying to prevent this. Celtics are at home. Boston by 11
Saturday, Mar. 30:
The 76ers don't need to worry about playoff position. Look for them to limit the minutes or even rest some of their main men. T-Wolves are out of the playoff picture, but might be trying to please their fans and keep next year's season ticket sales from going south. Minnesota by 8
Sunday, Mar. 31:
Hornets are just 1 1/2 games behind Orlando and 1/2 game behind Miami for the final playoff spot in the East. They will be working hard. On the other hand, how much do Warriors want the top spot? In the West? Considering current standings, the West playoff bracket should go according to the chalk for the first round, but could produce some upsets in the second. If it comes down to it, Denver in the #1 spot could present a real problem for whomever they face in the final. Golden State by 15
