from Suns.com:
After another interesting night of basketball in the West, the Suns still have plenty of scenarios when it comes to a first-round playoff opponent this weekend.
The Suns can finish no lower than sixth, so they know they won’t play the Lakers or the Hornets, who will finish 1-2 in the West. And all of the remaining scenarios involve Phoenix trying to win as many games as possible after both the Spurs and Rockets lost on the road:
*The Suns could open up on the road against the Spurs, if they lose a game or if San Antonio wins the final two games tonight in Sacramento and Wednesday at home against the Jazz. But Manu Ginobili may not play, the Kings have been playing very well down the stretch and the Jazz could need that game also.
*The Suns could also meet the Spurs in a 3 vs.6 matchup where Phoenix has home-court advantage if the Suns win out and finish in a three-way tie with the Spurs and Rockets – and if the one game San Antonio loses is against the Jazz. That way, the Suns would finish ahead of Utah, who would get the No. 4 seed. Got all that?
*Like to see the Suns play the Rockets? That could still happen, and the Suns could have home court if the Suns and Jazz win out and finish in a four-way tie with Houston and San Antonio, who would have to lose once (for the Spurs, that has to be Utah). Utah would wind up third and face San Antonio, while the Suns would get the Rockets and open in Phoenix.
*How about a Suns-Jazz series? If the Suns and the Rockets win out and the Spurs win in Sacramento and beat Utah – who hardly ever wins in San Antonio, the Suns would play the Jazz as the No. 5 seed, but would have home-court because of a better record.
Of course, all this remains in play for only a few hours since all five teams play tonight. Enjoy.

I'm just hoping my cavs get out of their funk and find that they are a team.
Probably not... but I can dream
I'm going to be pissed though if they win a champ before the Browns or tribe.
