I'm glad the Spurs won't have to play them but I'm sort of sorry to hear that.

They're 1 game behind Phoenix and Utah, but I can't see the Rockets passing either of them. Here are the remaining schedules for those 3 teams....
Phoenix (33-30) (Currently #8)
Sat, Apr 21 vsDenver
Tue, Apr 24 @Utah
Wed, Apr 25 vsSan Antonio
Utah (33-30) (Currently #9)
Sat, Apr 21 vsOrlando
Tue, Apr 24 vsPhoenix
Thu, Apr 26 vsPortland
Houston (32-31) (Currently #10)
Sat, Apr 21 vsGolden State
Sun, Apr 22 @Miami
Thu, Apr 26 vsNew Orleans
Utah has the easiest schedule left, but we'll see what happens. Houston might be screwed having to go to Miami IMO....
Re: Today's big games and what they mean for the Spurs
Utah has the inside track for the 8 seed.

:lol If Houston somehow manages to overcome all that and get into the playoffs, I definitely wouldn't want a piece of that in the first round.
Re: Today's big games and what they mean for the Spurs
BTW - the Suns just beat the crap out of Blake Griffin tonight. He had 14 points in the first quarter, and only made 2 free throws after that. If it was anybody else, I might feel sorry for him, because they just worked his ass over. He was a total non-factor down the stretch. One take-away is that he can be intimidated - I don't care who says otherwise. He's big, and athletic, but when they put the wood on him, he crumbled. Makes me wish we had a Kevin Willis.

How did they do it? Did they have Lopez just maul him constantly, or did Gortat shit him down?
