As a Mavs fan i like what you're saying....would love that second round matchup....decent chance for Mavs do get to WCF
This is actually not that bad of a scenario. If you get by Houston, you play the 2/7 winner, which if the seedings go how I think they will, will be either a playoff virgin New Orleans, or a beatable Dallas team. This is an easier route than having Phoenix, the Lakers and Utah in your half of the bracket.
Hopefully the seedings work out this way, but unless we get a healthy Many and Brent back, it may not matter.

That wouldn't be a bad scenario for the Spurs.
IF it happens, but playing the way we are that would worry me...and I never feel like this in the championship years. Period.
If the Rockets win the last three games, the Rockets are the number one seed I believe.
So now the Spurs can beat the Rockets at Houston?
Yes.
Why would the Suns acquiesce to this? They need rest as much as the Spurs do.
lmao@ The thought of the Rockets finishing at the 1st seed.
wow, bias much?
Who cares? SA is still going to lose to the Lakers regardless
because the Spurs have really proven that this season
First a look at the remaining schedules:
Rockets: @Nuggets, @Jazz, Clippers
Hornets: Clippers, @Mavs
Lakers: Kings Spoilers
Spurs: @Spoilers, Jazz
Keep in mind that Phoenix has the Tie Break advantage over the Spurs. If the Spurs lose to the Sacramento Spoilers or the Jazz, they are in serious jeopardy of falling all the way to #6.
The Rockets, meanwhile, move up to #3. If we win tonight, we’ll still be #3, tied with the Hornets and a ½ game back of LA. However, if we win out, we get at least the #2 seed.
If the Lakers beat the Kings AND the Hornets win out, we are guaranteed the #1 seed. We wouldn’t be the division winner or have home court over the Hornets, but we would be the #1 seed due to a better record.
If the Hornets lose at least one game, we win the Southwest division, we are the #1 seed, and we have home court over every team in the Western Conference.
We have pretty good odds to stay ahead of the Spurs at this point even with the Rockets having @Nuggets, @Jazz on their plate the next two evenings. The Spurs close with @Sacremento, Jazz. I’m going to assume a victory over the Clippers, so you just need to find a combination of 2 Rocket victories or Spur losses. It seems pretty likely. If we stay ahead of the Spurs, we will get a top 3 seed.
If we get the #2 seed we will likely face the Mavericks, or even the #1 seed and face the Warriors\Nuggets. The Lakers also have a game with the Sac. Rockets do not want the #3 seed because that would likely mean the Suns or Spurs.
lmao...Spurs Dynasty bout to slit his wrists over the Spurs play lately.
It's alright, buddy....we've been here before.
I'll worry when we're down 3-2 in a playoff series and we're losing with only a few minutes left in the game.
Bookmark this thread and revisit when that is the case.
Yes.because the Spurs have really proven that this season
I'm not reading all that jibberish...just know that you won't be seeing a round 2 Rockets game (too familiar), regardless of the outcome of the seedings.
You can count on that.
Yep, the Rockets suck cause we can't win any games.
No the rockets suck cause they play no defense and have no point guards.
But yeah, if that could happen, that would rock!!!
I'd take that 6th seed.
The Spurs are playing horrible because the big 3 has become the big Parker, and he's not even in top form. It's freaking odd to see 2 of 3 stars and one of them a superstar completely playing like trash at this time of year. They aren't robots so there could be many reasons, but it is really odd. These last three losses haven't been as much about the role players as the lack of performance from the stars.
Herschel hits it on the head.
Honestly, a well played game from manu duncan and parker and then losing by 20 would bother me.
They can, if they win all 3 games, which is nuggets, jazz, and clippers.
The Rockets are one of the best defenses in the NBA.....but you are right about our STARTING PGs....but we have a very nice one on the bench who is extremely fast...makes Tony Parker look like he is standing still.

The Spurs are in the 2nd best scenario right now outside of getting 1st place. Scenario being it is still tight enough that they can hope to manipulate themselves to be 5th or 6th. Assuming you are comfortable with Utah and Lakers/Hornets to WCF -- avoiding Mavs/Suns/Lakers/Hornets all until the WCF.
Who says PHX won't tank games to ensure HOU in the first round though. That's the problem. You KNOW they don't want Utah.
Uh their numbers are one of the best,The Rockets are one of the best defenses in the NBA.....but you are right about our STARTING PGs....but we have a very nice one on the bench who is extremely fast...makes Tony Parker look like he is standing still.

but I've watched them up close and personal ever since Yao went down. Their interior defense is as bad as the Laker's is.
At least be consistent when you spout your bull nonsense.
