Playoff Implications Abundant Tonight

Albuquerque @ Colorado - Albuquerque needs to win this game to keep their destiny pretty much in their hands. Colorado needs to win the next two games to clinch homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs. Colorado is stacked. Albuquerque has Will Conroy, who seems to be NBA-bound tomorrow (details coming later). Best hope for Albuquerque is a split, with a win tonight.
Reno @ Austin - My esteemed colleague, Jon L, will be at this game, so look for him where ever credentialed bloggers sit while watching on Futurecast. If Reno loses, they're out of the playoffs. If Reno wins, they're still basically out of the playoffs. According to Rod Benson's Twitter: "in the doctors office awaiting x ray results on my left hand." That doesn't bode well for the road team. Neither does the fact that Marcus Williams, Demarcus Nelson and Malik Hairston make up their back court - whoever David Noel isn't guarding is going to go off.
Los Angeles @ Utah - LA is out. Utah is in. Not quite as exciting of a game, save for Utah bolstering an NBAish lineup. Los Angeles used to bolster Sun Yue and Othella Harrington.

I heard about it just before, but didn't have a team
Thanks for the heads up. Do the Toros still have it?

Hairston’s really stepped up tonight. He’s one of the top players in the D-League.. I wonder if he’ll be released from the Spurs since Williams is called up..

Toros up 5 @ half
Despite 13 turnovers. Luckily they’re shooting well to make up for it. Can tell M-Will is missed..

Colorado is getting screwed
Alby’s shot 10 more free throws and Sene is getting away with quite a bit. Nick Buchert and Brent Barnaky are officiating. Will Mensah is an innocent bystander as usual..

I probably shouldn't write a recap tomorrow
I’m going to get hate mail for talking about the officiating and how terrible it is in Colorado..

Tough loss for Albuquerque
They look done now. They have to play another game at Colorado and if Conroy is getting called up as you say, just having a hard time seeing them win that game.

1. Colorado 33-13
2. Idaho 29-18
3. Iowa 26-22
4. Austin 29-18
5. Utah 28-18
6. Bakersfield 26-22

Fort Wayne has the potential to really play spoiler.

Big Game Thursday
Dakota @ Iowa – Dakota could go from the 7th seed to the 2 seed if they win; if they fail to win either of their last 2, they could be out altogether.
Appreciate you doing these, by the way.

Major drama tonight
I wonder what the Williams call-up will do to the Toro’s playoff aspirations. They looked set to make a run, they were starting to click with the late season additions to the roster. I’m not sure Williams is a replaceable cog in the Toro engine.
They've clinched
But yep. Definitely will be tough replacing Marcus. See the 19 turnovers tonight..
