Headline: Eastern Conference Outsiders – Flyers vs. Lightning With Playoff Spot in Sight
Two of the more disappointing teams in the Eastern Conference meet in Tampa Bay on Monday night as the Philadelphia Flyers and the Tampa Bay Lightning try to make up a little ground on the top eight in the East – the Flyers are currently six points back of eighth and the Lightning sit eight points out of the final playoff spot.
Because the talent divide in the NBA is so great, long winning streaks are possible. Talent almost always wins out, and on occasion a superstar call in the finals seconds assures that the underdog won’t be able to pull off an upset.
Blazers set to take on the road
It’s obvious that the Portland Trail Blazers are still playing to win. They currently sit three games behind the Los Angeles Lakers for the 8th and final spot of the Western Conference Playoffs.

For the second year in a row the Rangers lineup was poached by their division foe Anaheim Angels. Last year it was CJ Wilson and this year it was Josh Hamilton.
The Wolfpack were able to get the game flowing and had a relatively easy time in beating Virginia, beating by 20 a team they lost to earlier in the season.
The Bulldogs are doing their usual thing of building towards the tournament. They exorcised a demon in the quarterfinals by beating a La Salle team that beat them earlier in the season.
San Diego was picked to finish dead last in the NL last season, but a surprising start that lasted all the way to All-Star break renewed hopes that this team could possibly still return to the playoffs for the first time since 2006.
The Brewers finished 83-79 in 2012 after a 96-66 record in 2011 and even though they lost Prince Fielder to the Tigers their offense was solid and they ranked 3rd in the Majors in runs scored.
Nut-cracking time for Kobe Bryant and the Lakers. The same guy who several weeks ago was so critical of Dwight Howard’s unwillingness to play with pain now finds himself in the same (uncomfortable) spot.
UNLV and Colorado State meet in the Mountain West Conference semifinals with the winner taking on the winner of the San Diego State vs. New Mexico.
The Wolverines are the second highest ranked team in the conference despite finishing tied for fourth in the standings. As a result they didn’t get a bye like Wisconsin even though they were tied with them.
The Wolfpack had a pretty easy time of it in beating Virginia Tech to advance to the next round of the ACC Tournament. Now it is Virginia, a team they lost to earlier during the season setting off a mini-slump.
