Grizz are going to lose both games to the Worriers bringing their loss total to 39 but the Clippers play both the Mavs/Grizz @ home & Barea just go injured so I'm not sure either one would even be able to beat the Cripples backups at STAPLES. (Most likely the Cripples starters will play since both are at home game, on national TV & not on a B2B)

The Cripples have bad blood w/ BOTH teams (esp. DeAndre) & Lance/Barnes talked a lot of smack when the Grizz RECENTLY beat the Cripples in Memphis led by Ray McCallum.:lol

So, if the Grizz lose all 3 they would have 40 losses & the Mavs have the tie breaker. Meanwhile, the Mavs have to play @Utah on a B2B then finish the season against the Spurs. If the Mavs lose to the Cripples/Jazz they would have 40 losses & if the Jazz win-out (@Den/Mavs/@LAL: Kobe's final game:lol) they would have 40 losses but the Grizz have the tie breaker.

It's looking like Grizz will be the 7th seed, Mavs 6th & Jazz 8th, unless Boban & 'em can win in Dallas. If the Jazz don't win out then the Rockets might sneak in but they will probably lose @ Minny to seal their fate.:lol

Crazy to think that this season's 7th seed bound team along with 2 non-playoff bound teams were the Warrior's road to the finals one year ago. Not to mention a depleted Cavs teams for a championship.

I've been saying for a while that I think the Spurs will have Memphis in the first round. If the season was just a bit longer, Memphis would have slid all the way out of the playoffs, IMO.

I think the only thing that will change is that Memphis and Dallas will switch places. Portland stays 5, Dallas 6, Memphis 7, and Utah 8. Memphis is the easiest matchup of the first round, by far. Portland could fluke out an upset of the Clippers, I guess, but I don't really see it happening. That says Spurs meet OKC in the second round, and GSW meets the Clippers.

The Finals this year will be a formality. It all comes down to whether the Spurs can beat GSW in their house.

Dont completely count out the Clippers, they have just as good a shot as OKC does of getting by us. If Clippers could steal one of the first two games at Oracle that could be a long series.

Last time the Spurs won 60+ games & faced the Grizz, it didn't end up well.:depressed

On a serious note, Kawhi/Danny will be able to save their legs for OKC/GSW while Timmay can play like it's 2013 without worrying about switching. Porker will probably get outplayed by Farmar.:lol


Portland could fluke out an upset of the Clippers, I guess, but I don't really see it happening.

The Blazers are actually a PERFECT warm-up series for the Clippers b/c the of Lillard/CJ backcourt. Blake doesn't have to guard anyone since the Blazers have no legit PFs so he should be able to ease into things.


That says Spurs meet OKC in the second round, and GSW meets the Clippers.

I've been BEGGING for that since November & it is now bound to happen.:toast

I don't see any first round surprises. OKC will be a tough second-round matchup, because of their bigs. But in the fourth quarter, they turn into the Durant-Westbrook Show. I don't think they will overcome the HCA, but if they did it would be offensive boards that kill the Spurs.

I don't think Portland can get past the Clips. So if LA can make a long series against GSW, God bless'em.

The way things are shaping up, I think Memphis will give the Spurs maximum rest time after the first round sweep. That's a good place to start.



Last time the Spurs won 60+ games & faced the Grizz, it didn't end up well.:depressed

Yeah, I still have some mental scars from that one. This Memphis team is in complete disarray. If there's one matchup I wouldn't worry about, it's them.

Glad Minnesota won! Still a small chance the Blazers get the sixth seed. I wonder if the Clipps try to tank the game against the Grizz and have them win to have a small chance at the 5th seed and hope for a Blazers loss against the Nuggets . Don't think Dallas wins the next three games to have a shot at at the 5th seed but they have been won five in a row.

Dallas wins all the tiebreakers, so if they can go 43-39, they'll pretty much clinch the 6th seed and have a shot at the 5th seed if the Blazers lose to the Chicken Nuggets at home (unlikely, but possible)... Grizzlies will likely lose out and become the #7 seed unless Dallas loses all 3 games.


On another note, if the Mavs do win out (unlikely) they'll clinch the #5 seed, so they control their own destiny as of now.

Do not be a blind homer hoping that some miracle will happen. the Warriors will go 4-0 vs whoever, then 4-1 against whoever, the probably beat the Spurs 4-2, and then 4-1 to win it all. I love my Spurs but lets be real unless something odd goes down the Dubs are champs again. THEY HAVE LOST A TOTAL OF 9 games to date! THEY ARE UNREAL! Unless injury or show they are tired and run out of gas, all signs show GSW as b2b champs. But that is why they play the games anything CAN happen, I am just be real...

If the Mavs beat the Jazz tonight, its safe to say the Spurs will be playing the Grizz in the 1st round. Even if they don't, if the Jazz beat the Mavs and beat the Lakers, and Mavs beat the Spurs (which they probably will) and Memphis loses both their games (Clips and Warriors on road), the Grizz will drop to the 7th seed.

Unless the Grizz manage to beat both the Clips and Warriors, there is a high chance the Spurs play them in the 1st round. Good news after Pop fuckin' everything up this past week by playing everyone against the Warriors on Thurs.

The mavs vs Jazz tonight is a big game and whoever wins plays Spurs and loses plays dubs.

Not true. Jazz and Mavs both won the season series against the Grizz. The Grizz may yet still fall to the 8th seed if the Jazz win and beat the Lakers; Mavs lose and beat the Spurs; Grizz lose both of their remaining games.

If the Mavs win, this insures the Grizz fall no farther than 7th, meaning if the Mavs beat the Spurs Wed, they get the 6th seed if the Grizz just win one of their remaining games. This also means that the Rockets just have to win their two remaining games to get the 8th seed as the Jazz and Rockets split the season series and the Rockets hold the better Conf. Record.

I am rooting for the Mavs tonight, b/c this ensures that the Grizz will more than likely be the 7th seed. And if the Grizz lose tomorrow, all the Spurs would have to do is tank Wed game to ensure they play the Grizz in the 1st round.

Kawhitstorm

The mavs vs Jazz tonight is a big game and whoever wins plays Spurs and loses plays dubs.

There is STILL a good chance the Jazz will be the 6th seed if the Clippers play their starters against the Grizz (DEFINITELY losing to the Duds in the season finale). The Jazz have the tie breaker thus would leapfrog the Grizz to the 6th seed. The Mavs also could stay as the 7th seed even if they lose to the Jazz since they (Mavs) have the tie breaker against the Grizz by virtue of winning the season series.

Basically, if the Jazz beat the Mavs they would win the season series (2-1) thus would leap frog the Mavs even though they would both be 41-40. The Grizz are most likely finish 42-40 & same w/ the Mavs/Jazz. In which case, the Jazz would be the 6th, the Mavs would be the 7th & the Grizz would be the 8th.

If the Mavs lose their final 2 games (@Jazz/Vs. Spurs), the Rockets would be the 8th seed (as long as they win out: @Minny(not easy)/vs.Kings). The Mavs/Rockets split the season series, but the Rockets would have a better divisional/conference record which are the other tie breakers.

Essentially, CIA Pop can CHOOSE to play either the Grizz or the Mavs in the 1st rd: tank season finale (Mavs), send Kawhi/LMA to Dallas (Grizz). He can also choose whether the Duds play the Rockets or Grizz in the 1st rd by the same formula.:wow

I HIGHLY doubt a depleted Mavs squad beats the Jazz in Utah on the 2nd night of a B2B. I've outlined the most likely scenario after the Mavs lose to the the Jazz tonight & it INCLUDES a VERY GOOD possibility of the Spurs STILL facing the Mavs in the 1st rd or CIA Pop cuckin' the Duds/Cuban by sending the Kawhi/LMA to Dallas for the season finale.:lol (Spurs win: Mavs out of the playoffs, Duds play the Rockets in 1st rd rather than the Grizz who would ACTUALLY play the Spurs)

The other possibility of Boban & 'em beat the Mavs in Dallas, not far fetched considering how the Spurs have OWNED them this season & how depleted the Mavs are at the moment.:lol

You should actually be rooting for the Jazz since OKC would have to play them in the 1st rd instead of the Mavs. Burks (the Jazz's 6th man) came back yesterday so that should help a bit. Jazz have beef w/ Kanter so they are going to take it personal.:toast

LMAO - it could easily have come down to the Spurs tanking the last game against Dallas, to put them into the 6 slot, and Memphis into the 7. And it would be worth the tank, IMO. But then this great season could have ended up on a 5-game losing streak. How fucked up would that have been?

The only reason it won't happen? Golden State is gunning for win #73. I they weren't, they would probably have rest-tanked the last one against Memphis, just to force the Spurs' hands. Then again, if the Clippers rest against Memphis, and the Griz win, Dallas would STILL have to win the last game against the Spurs to get the 6 seed. Maybe they WANT the 7 seed, and they will be the ones to tank the last game. :lol

Denver is basically tanking (no Faried/Gallo) & the game is in Portland. Nurkic would have to absolutely pound them inside for the Nuggets to have a chance b/c the Blazers' weakness is post defense. (Blazers most likely want to avoid OKC b/c of Kanter:lol)

i say 99% of chance Mavs lock 6th...either Memphis lose tomorrow v.s. clippers or (if clipper starters rest tomorrow) spurs gives Mavs a pass on Wed

Everybody wants Memphis these days...a team filled with 2 D leaguers dumped by Spurs who play major minutes...they are essentially not a playoff team.

Clippers HATE the Grizz (http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/14064804/los-angeles-clippers-troll-memphis-grizzlies-twitter-ahead-monday-matchup) & Lance/Barnes talked a lot of smack when the Grizz beat them during their most recent matchup thus I would imagine the Clippers want to give them a beat-down.

Ray McCallum owned CP3 in the 4th quarter but he's no longer on the team::lol

Ray is no longer in the team? Poor nigga...he played decent in that LA game.

I guess he really doesnt have an NBA future...

So in a role reversal from 2011, the Spurs will tank to face the Grizzlies. Huh...

Should I be rooting for Memphis to drop to the 8 (if that's even still possible)? They seem like they could challenge GS the most.

You're basing that off of one game?

Not possible. It's either Houston or Utah.

I'm basing that on experience and their ability to grind in the playoffs. But apparently it's a moot point.

LMAO - it could easily have come down to the Spurs tanking the last game against Dallas, to put them into the 6 slot, and Memphis into the 7. And it would be worth the tank, IMO. But then this great season could have ended up on a 5-game losing streak. How fucked up would that have been?

OKC full roster tomorrow? Not sure. We sat our starters against them on the road, they will sit some people on the road too.

This exactly the scenario I wanted. Carlisle, like Pop, saves his best for the playoffs. He will give OKC the most run for the money even w/o Parsons.

Mavs beating the Jazz at home was the best case scenario for the Spurs to play the Grizz. This ensures that the Grizzlies can fall no lower than the 7th seed.

Grizz just need to lose tonight. Doing so will all but ensure the Spurs play them in the 1st round. Even if the Spurs beat the Mavs, the Grizz more than likely will lose to GS on Weds. It should be 1st round sweep for the Spurs.

The match up will depend on who does Blazer wants to play 1st round Clippers or OKC? They are playing the last game of the regular season on Wednesday night.
Rocket are in most likley Jazz are out.

Oh, I'm just saying that it could happen - and thinking what a shame it would be to end a great season that way. A 5-game losing streak can't happen, without dumping the first 3 like they did.

The Grizzlies will get blown out against either GS or SA. It's not even debatable.
