Since most teams have 29-30 games left, here's the 20 worth watching the rest of the way:
Tonight: Lakers at Suns (ESPN) Needs no other introduction.
Hawks at Kings (Reg.) Well, that's ironic.
Friday: Celtics at Suns (ESPN)
Sunday: Pistons at Suns (ABC) I swear I'm not going to just list PHX games. Good barometer on how the 'Stons fair out west.
Feb 27: Cavs at Celtics (NBA) Lebron has already handed Boston two of their losses. Can they win the season series?
Feb 28: Mavericks at Spurs (TNT) Remember when there was a "should the Spurs trade for Kidd" debate. Yeah, about that.
Mar 2: Hawks at Celtics (Reg.) Can Bibby and Hotlanta let Boston know they're *gasp* contenders.
Mar 5: Pistons at Celtics (Reg.) Have to think KG will be back to 100% by then.
Mar 9: Spurs at Suns (ABC) First chance to see how Shaq will stand up against the team that he was purchased to beat.
Mar 16: Hornets at Pistons (Reg.) Possibility these two have the best records by then.
Mar 18: Celtics at Rockets (TNT) A chance for the Rockets to continue shedding the "soft" label.
Mar 23: Pistons at Wizards (ESPN) Let's hope Gilbert gets back for this one.
Mar 26: Suns at Celtics (ESPN) NBA Finals?
Mar 28: Nets at Pacers (Reg.) If for no other reason than potentially Vince Carter playing against his old team.
Apr 2: Warriors at Mavericks (ESPN) Hoping Jason Kidd will make sure Nelson's dominance of Dallas end.
Apr 4: Spurs at Jazz (ESPN) I suspect at this stage these two will be overlooked as the real favorites.
Apr 9: Suns at Spurs (ESPN) Final sparring practice.
Apr 13: Spurs at Lakers (ABC) Last Sunday of the reg. season will hopefully give a healthy Bynum a chance to bang with Timmy.
Apr 16: Final Day. Think how much the Western Conference playoff seeding could change with this slate.
Jazz at Spurs
Hornets at Mavericks
Trailblazers at Suns
