If the Spurs lose they'll play the Jazz without HCA.
IMO it's the best option.I find a semifinal against Denver or Lakers easy too .
I don't want Phoenix in the first round and Dallas in the semifinals.If we win we could be very tired to play against Utah or Lakers in the final of the west.
If the Spurs lose they'll play the Jazz without HCA.
I don't understand what's all the fear about the Suns.. Spurs have owned forever.
Besides if you want to win it all and judging by how packed everything is, you need to play against the best teams and win. None of these teams will be a cakewalk.
People ask to play the Rockets and you don't know what's going to happen there either.
You need to win it all against all teams.
Bring on the Suns... we'll easily beat them in a 7 game series.... give me a break. We lost last week because we couldn't shoot. That's it.
Spurs need to win tomorrow to secure HCA. That's the best they can do, regardless of 1st round oponent. They are all good teams.
There is no way you guys can get to us in round 1 :p
There are two ways we could still get the Rockets correct?
We lose/Suns lose/ Rockets win
We win/Suns win/ Rockets lose
am I right?
Beat the Suns in any round. Then Shaq will beg to finish his career in his hometown of San Antonio. If you advance to the finals this year, beat the Celtics and finally get your back-to-back. With Shaq next year, you get a 3Peat and go down in history as one of the greatest dynasties in NBA history. Don't know if it can happen but that would be the best possible scenario among those that I have seen offered. If Lakers can't win the west, I am pulling for you guys! Best of luck.
that
Thought I'd put this here and not start another seedings thread.

West playoff picture still unclear
The eight playoff seeds are set in the East
The Lakers are close to earning the West's top seed
The middle seeds in the West remain unsettled
NEW YORK (AP) -- The Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Hornets tried to clear up the top of the Western Conference playoff picture Tuesday night, but the middle was still a mess heading into the final two days of the season.
If the Lakers and Hornets both won, they clinched the top two seeds in the West. Los Angeles hosted Sacramento, while New Orleans was home to face the Clippers, hoping to lock up the Southwest Division le.
There would then remain a chance for a four-way tie for third place, depending on the results of games Wednesday, the last night of the regular season.
San Antonio, Utah, Phoenix and Houston would all be battling for that spot, which would go to the Northwest Division champion Jazz if they beat the Spurs on Wednesday. Utah would then own the tiebreaker advantage against all three teams.
The Spurs would be guaranteed third by beating Utah, and still could be No. 2 if the Hornets lost their last two games. New Orleans visits Dallas in the season finale.
Dallas will earn the No. 7 seed by winning that game. If the Mavericks lose, Denver would finish seventh if it beats visiting Memphis on Wednesday.
The East playoff bracket is set. Top-seed Boston faces No. 8 Atlanta; No. 2 Detroit opens against No. 7 Philadelphia; Southeast Division champion Orlando is the third seed and meets No. 6 Toronto; and defending East champ Cleveland and No. 5 Washington hook up for the third straight year in the first round.

I understand with Spur fans, thats the tank job in 96 0r 97 to lose as many games as you can to obtain Duncan is hard to understand but you play to WIN the game. You want to play the best and healthy teams. You don't want opposing teams players suspended for stupid rules or injuried durning the playoffs. If you are a Spew fan cheer them on every game to win.
Please someone tell me Mangoo pet llamas name
Go Spurs Go
If Houston would have won yesterday, that could have been an option. Because they lost, Utah owns the tiebreaker and would be the 3rd seed while we would be the 6th seed.
You don't want to lose the game and have other teams decide your seeding. As Timvp stated the Jazz get HCA and that isn't a good thing. Do any of you guys really want to play the Jazz 4 times in Utah?
This thread is gay. No series will be easy in the West. Sack up and play whatever team comes your way.
Yes I'll gladly play Utah and we won't need to play 4 games their, just 3.
No team is going to beat the Suns, Lakers, and Celtics this postseason. It isn't going to happen.
I like my chances a lot more to escape the first round having Utah's lack of an interior defensive post presence up against Duncan than any other alternative.
If the Spurs deserve to be the champs then they will defeat any team in a 7 game series. Doesn't matter who plays who, the BEST team will come out on top in the end.
The sun fans would be all over this. THAT. Let's beat the out of them like we do every year.
I want Amare crying like a pussy, I want Stoudemire crying like a pussy, I wanna see Nash bleeding and on the floor. I wanna see sun fans crying again.
For the record a bunch of our players came out and said we want to beat you guys tomorrow. Even if that means we miss Houston. SEE WE'RE NOT TANKING COWARDS!!! WE DON'T GIVE A !!! THROW US THE BEST AND WE'LL STILL EM' UP. UTAH MOTHER ERS. UTAH.
And props to the Spurs fans who think the same way about their team. That's how it should be.
This isn't every year and I heard this same bull in 2006 about Dallas.
WAKE UP !!!
The Spurs aren't the best team in the west and we sure as ain't better than Phoenix. Kerr gave them an opportunity to advance past us by adding Shaq and moving Amare out of having to guard Duncan. Now Phoenix is just going to man up instead of having to double and leave shooter's open on the perimeter. And they even can throw Hill on Tony if/when Tony abuses Nash.
Facing Phoenix in the first round is not a recipe to win back to back les.
this could potentially be awesome:
lakers win tonight, grab 1st seed in the west.
hornets beat clippers AND MAVERICKS.
spurs beat jazz, grab 3rd seed.
four, five, and six play out so the spurs end up with rockets.
dallas loses to the hornets and fall to 8th, and the nuggets beat memphis and grab that 7th spot.
dallas knocks out la in the first round.
so are they going to have a three way finals this year or something? eventually, ALL but one team will lose....
The suns can be a tough matchup for the spurs, but we can match up well and play well. if the spurs are on their game, they can run ANYONE out of the building. its just a matter of "doing" now.
if we lose tommorow, we will play Utah in the Playoffs, not Houston....
Sorry Duncan 228 but the Hornets have not clinched the 2 seed.
If the Spurs lose I think that means the Rockets have to play the Suns. Utah would play the Spurs. Unless for some miraculous reason the Hornets dropped 2 games in a row and the Spurs beat the Jazz, then that would mean the Spurs would be number 2 and play the 7th seed which would be the Mavericks. Otherwise, the Hornets clinch the 2 seed and all goes back to the normal formula.
at this point of this freakish season, you can't tell who the spurs are gonna face. just win the games, dammit.
