Last Place Update - March 25

Welcome to this week's Last Place Update. Ah, the plot thickens...

   The 16-54 Charlotte Bobcats have been doing some winning. They closed the gap some, but not enough to keep them from being this week's Kings of the Cellar. They are two games ahead of the 18-52 Orlando Magic. The 22-47 Cleveland Cavaliers also returned to the radar, kicking off the New Orleans Hornets and Phoenix Suns.

   Since the last update, Charlotte went a respectable 2-2 and Orlando is making a move against the Bobcats by having an 0-fer, going 0-4. The Hornets went 2-1 and the Suns went 1-3. The Cavaliers are on a five game losing streak.

   This week's honorable mention goes to the 34-36 Utah Jazz. The Jazz are 2-8 in their last ten games, with a four game losing streak. Utah is also 2-12 since February 23.  They have allowed over 100 points in the last three games. This week, the Jazz spend most of the week at home. They host the Philadelphia 76ers tonight and the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. On Friday, Utah goes to Portland to play the Trailblazers and then they finish the week at home versus the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. The Jazz should win at least one or two games this week.

Next Losses...

   Charlotte has a light week, mostly on the road. They host the Orlando Magic Wednesday and hit the road to play the New York Knicks on Friday and the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. Based on their recent success, the Bobcats could go 2-1 or collapse and have an 0-fer. The Magic game is a pick'em and could be either team's only win this week.

   Orlando starts the week at home by facing a spanking by or huge upset of the Miami Heat tonight. Then they go to Charlotte to play the Bobcats on Wednesday and return home to host the Washington Wizards on  Friday. The Magic end the week on Saturday by going to Atlanta to play the Hawks. Orlando could potentially win two games this week. Chances are, they'll have yet again another 0-fer.

   Cleveland spends most of the week at home. They host the Boston Celtics on Wednesday and the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. The Cavs end the week in the Crescent City by visiting the New Orleans Hornets. They could win one or two games or they could whiff and lose them all. Cleveland should win at least one game.

Other Stuff...

   What a great time of year. The NCAA Tournament has been a blast, even though one of my overall brackets is dead and a regional bracket on my Main Entry bracket is dead. Sometimes it's a work in frustration, but it's one that you enjoy.

   I made The Acts of 1 available for the NOOK a while back. It hasn't had the success on Barnes & Noble as it did on Amazon. If this continues, when I publish The Curse, it will start off exclusive to Amazon and in the KDP Select program.

   Which winning streak will end first? Will Miami break the Lakers' record? Will Denver overtake Miami? Or will both teams fall woefully short?

Stay tuned. Have a great day!!!
