Top Four Games in the NBA West with Playoff Seed Implications...

#DetroitBasketball @ #RegulatorsReportOKC 8pm ET

The Pistons could play this like a Playoff Game or a Summer League Game and for the OKC Thunder they will be locked in trying to secure that #2 Seed in the West. If OKC loses and the Clippers win they would flip flop and that would mean the Thunder or Clips would see the Mavs or Grizz depending on who wins that match up with the Mavs at #7 and the Grizz at #8 as e go to press.  

#Mavs @ #Grit&GrindBealeStreet 8pm ET NBA on ESPN

This will have a "Fight for Larry"-like Feel and Tempo as the Mavs would rather see the Thunder then the Spurs. The Grizz on the other hand would probably tell you the Spurs are to are liking but it doesn't matter as Grit and Grind matches up with nearly everyone in the West maybe except the Spurs.  This game also impact that OKC Thunder game and Clippers @ Blazers Tilt.

#RedNation @ #PelicansNestNOLA 8pm ET

Be careful Rocket as there is no Eric Gordon or Ant Davis or even Ryan Anderson or Jrue Holiday and ask then Thunder what happened when they reached for their Smoothie? "Trap Game" or "Fool's Gold" as NOLA will be playing for Keeps and they want to go out in the 2103-14 season beating two of the top four Teams in the West for a nice 2014-15 82-Game Trek "MO" Builder. Rockets need to stay in the #4 seed so they have Home Court versus that Rip City Blazers Bunch with a gassed up and ready L-Train!

#LobCity @ #RipCity 1030pm ET NBA on ESPN

Both teams are playing for something tonight and the Blazers are playing for something a little bit more meaningful and that would be home court in Round 1 vs the Rockets. If the Rockets win the Blazers come out of the Motel in Round 1 vs Rockets. The Clips need to win but first and foremost needs the Motor City Pistons to play like they are capable and beat the OKC Thunder. If or when that happens NBA Western Conference we might have a huge Seed Shake-Up in game #82 of 82.
