Last night of NBA regular season is upon us

The Suns blew out the Nuggets last night 123-101 last night in Phoenix while the Jazz held off the Warriors 103-94 in Oakland. Both teams are 53-28 and play tonight at 8:30 p.m. MT in Salt Lake City (ESPN, espn3.com, FSN-Utah). Tipping off right about now are the Mavericks (54-27) and the Spurs (50-31) in Dallas (NBA League Pass). If the Mavericks win they get the two-seed in the Western Conference. If they lose they still get the 2 unless the Jazz win in which case Utah gets the 2. Otherwise a Jazz win gets them the 3 seed. In this scenario Phoenix would get the 4 and Denver the 5. If the Jazz lose the Suns get the 3, the Nuggets the 4 and the Jazz the 5. The Blazers (50-31) host Golden State at 8:30 p.m. MT (NBA League Pass) knowing that a win or a Spurs loss gets them the 6 seed. The Spurs get the 6 with a win and a Blazers loss. Should be an interesting night in the West and I'll be back on later to give the playoff breakdown. In the East, the Raptors need a win over the Knicks (probable) and a Bulls loss at Charlotte to make the playoffs as the 8 seed. Otherwise it's Chicago. I'll be back on later with some NBA and baseball thoughts, including how much I enjoy MLB Network.
