New York Beat Denver Last Night and they head to Boston tonight to play a team that has to be fired up after losing to the Utah Jazz on Monday night. As a fan it is hard not to scoreboard watch at this point in the season, especially when the teams are so close together and so much is at stake. Here are the current standings as of Wednesday Morning.

Few things that blow my mind away with this snapshot-Dallas is the best team in the west on the Road. Each team in the west has been playing amazing basketball over the past ten games and from the 2 spot through the 7 spot is only 4 games or one sprained ankle. Either way the next three weeks will be fun to watch.
I have always like Chris Bosh, I love his power moves, his jump shot and that he is left handed, which forces defenders a few minutes to adjust.
We have to win this game. Phoenix is playing like gangbusters and a possessed Amare scares me, a lot.
Toronto has won two in a row and are sitting in the eighth spot and will most likely stay there barring a total collapse.
Jazz are looking to win their tenth in a row over the Toronto Raptors but have lost three straight road games and in two of those game the Jazz didn't hit a three pointer.
Jazz need to come out strong which they have not been doing at all lately. Ak will probably not play but stay close to twitter for any updates.
Here is the Accuscore for the game.
