81.   This afternoon, the Dodgers will finish a nine-game homestand with a chance at their first sweep of a three-game series this season.

82.   Three of the four series last season ended in sweeps, and three of those series-ending victories came away from the comforts of their home court.

83.   Two series last season does not a playoff career make.

84.   Under that format, natural rivals would play a home-and-home series every season.

85.   We won the season series against the Braves last year.

86.   We never expect to be swept by anybody over a season series.

87.   While Indiana did win the season series, the teams had only one meeting after Atlanta acquired Christian Laettner in February.

88.   Winning this one would ensure the Jackets the season series against Georgia.

89.   Winning the season series would give the Cavaliers the tie breaker should they finish with the same record as New York.

90.   Phoenix trails by two games in the loss column but owns the tiebreaker advantage from winning the season series.
