What’s going to make the difference? 球季進入尾聲了，你們覺得西區老八會是誰呢? Steve Aschburner: Houston. It would be nice, at this late stage of their careers, to have Steve Nash and Grant Hill in the postseason again but Phoenix faces a gauntlet of tough foes down the stretch (Thunder, Clippers, Nuggets, Jazz, Spurs) with only that last opponent likely to ease up pre-playoffs. Going by strength of schedule – the biggest remaining factor – the potential-maxing Rockets are in the best shape, with New Orleans twice, Golden State once and a game at Miami on Sunday that might find the Heat in playoff-prep mode. Utah finishes with three home games but one is against the plucky Suns. Steve Aschburner:火箭 太陽最後幾場對上的都是強敵(快艇、金塊、爵士、馬刺)，而火箭卻可以對上黃蜂(西區 戰績最差)兩次，勇士一次，比較硬斗的是禮拜天的熱火之戰。而爵士有三場主場比賽， 但其中一場要對上太陽。 Fran Blinebury: The Suns have had the longest climb and they have the toughest finishing lineup of opponents. But only one road game. They are playing free and fearlessly and having a lot of fun and that goes a long way at this time of the year. Fran Blinebury:太陽 太陽最後會對上很多強悍對手，但只有一場是客場作戰；這些老將可以好好享受最後幾場 比賽。 Scott Howard-Cooper: Houston because of the veteran presence. Phoenix was my first instinct, for playing the best of the candidates. Then I looked at their closing schedule. The Thunder, the Clippers (in a back-to-back), the Nuggets, the Jazz, the Spurs. Only one road game, Tuesday at Utah, but very unfriendly. If the Suns make it, they will definitely have earned it. Scott Howard-Cooper:火箭 我的第一直覺是太陽，但他們最後賽程會是很大的考驗，但如果太陽隊成功晉級了，將是 一個了不起的成就。 Shaun Powell: The wiseguy answer is, I like none of the contenders. They all have some sort of flaw, and you could easily make a case for each of them to finish ninth or even 10th. But because you asked, I’ll go on a limb and say the Jazz run the table and steal the final playoff spot. The Suns’ remaining schedule is beastly (OKC, LAC, Nuggets, Jazz, Spurs) and the Rockets are absolutely gutless right now. Shaun Powell:爵士 如果硬要選一個的話，我選擇爵士會晉級。太陽最後賽程太硬了，而火箭近期太俗辣不敢 放手一搏(對上金塊二連敗，近期五連敗，導致目前戰況糾結) John Schuhmann: Can I wait until after tonight’s Rockets-Mavs game to answer this one? Just guessing here, but I’ve got Denver finishing 37-29, Dallas finishing 37-29, Phoenix finishing 34-32, Houston finishing 35-31 and Utah finishing 35-31. So that puts Dallas in sixth (tie-breaker over Denver), Denver in seventh, Utah in eighth (tie-breaker over Houston), Houston in ninth, and Phoenix in 10th. Hard to see the Jazz losing more than one more, with two games against the Blazers and another against the Magic. John Schuhmann:爵士 他們最後對上傷兵捆擾的魔術和拓荒者，應該很難輸。 Sekou Smith: I like the Rockets for that eighth and final spot in the Western Conference playoff chase. I really like the idea of Steve Nash, Grant Hill and the Suns making it into the playoff mix. But I love the idea of the Jazz clawing their way into that No. 8 spot, setting up a matchup against the Spurs and then watching Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap go toe-to-toe with Tim Duncan, Tiago Splitter and DeJuan Blair. With so many different ways this thing can play out over the next nine days, it’s impossible to pinpoint exactly what will decide the eighth spot. But next Tuesday’s Suns-Jazz game should make for great theater. Sekou Smith:火箭 我比較像看火箭進決賽。Nash、Hill殺進季後賽應該滿有話題的，不過爵士對上馬刺應該 也滿有看頭的。不論如何，下禮拜的太陽爵士之戰應該是場精彩的對決。(來亂的?) 統計 今日戰果 火箭3票 Dirk與VC攜手擊敗火箭:http://0rz.tw/3o60B 爵士2票 爵士勝傷兵拓:http://0rz.tw/kn3xy 太陽1票 美髯公Harden滅太陽:http://0rz.tw/czm14Dirk --
