Mother in Scola Thread. You owe us one Rockets. You ing owe us one.
....I want no part of OKC.
Dallas plays the Rockets and then the Hornets for their final two games, while the Thunder play the Kings and Bucks.
Once again, Thunder own the tiebreaker with Dallas by virtue of being a division winner.

OKC looks good. WTF is up with LA? Bynum played 39 minutes in that debacle, it's not like Phil took his foot off the gas. I'd love to see LA and OKC as the 2 and 3.
Nobody can outchoke Dallas.
good point
Hahaha oh man, knowing our luck, of course LA would drop to 4, and we'd get an OKC/LA WCF matchup.
Dallas wouldn't be a cake walk, but without Butler they'd be a of a lot easier than a team like OKC that has both size and athleticism.
I don't think DAL wants any part of LA so i could see them tanking tomorrow against HOU......
a Dallas/Denver series is a toss up IMO....
Dream scenario: Dallas falls to 4, and NO gets the #8 and it's Portland or Memphis vs. LA in the first round.
We've won all of our games against OKC this season, even handed them one of their worst defeats on January 1. I think we match up well with them, and frankly I'd rather we played them than LA if it came right down to it.
Wanna see the following:
-Dallas splits
-OKC wins out
-NO Loses out
Exactly. But get ready for a nightmare, because that isn't happening and LA gets a cakewalk to the WCF with NO and DAL. Most likely scenario by a long shot.
Oklahoma City would tell you that the Spurs have their number. They're better prepped for it but I think the main reason that the Spurs do well against the Thunder is because unlike Bean the Gunner, Ginobili is just as likely to pass or shoot the ball and it makes OKC defenders crazy.
OKC was on a b2b when they got handed their worst loss. While this season the Spurs experience usually out performs the Thunder's youth in crunch time, I think the addition of Perkins along with the fact that OKC has been one of the best teams in the entire league post ASB doesn't bode well for SA.
Also, we have 0 answers for Durant and Westbrook. OKC's frontline should do a great job of keeping Parker and co. out of the pain, plus Manu always seems to struggle against the Thunder despite having some memorable plays against them.
Spurs have yet to play the new OKC. They've been the best time since the All Star break....
Spurs don't want any part of OKC anytime soon....
Memphis: @Portland, @LAC
NO: Utah, @Dallas
You figure Portland and Dallas will both be playing for seeding. If Memphis can beat Portland, they should get the #7.
However things end up, you gotta admit these are going to be the most interesting last couple days in the history of the NBA. So many seeds are still undetermined....
Bingo.
I get having preferences and all, but is there any team the vast majority of you don't fear? It's ridiculous, yet so typical. You would never see this type of behavior out of not only Lakers fans, but even Mavs fans. You wonder why Lakers fans look down their noses at Spurs fans? It's because so many of you enable it, by playing up this scared, little team that could, underdog bull .
No, TD21. They look down at Spurs fans because they are on top of car hoods jumping up and down.
Not me.
OKC will win there next 2 games meaning Dallas also has to win its remaining 2 if they want to avoid the 4. They still have HOU and NO so Dallas dropping a game wouldn't be too surprising. I could see Dallas dropping to the 4.
NO & Memphis want Dallas.Surely Portland too.Everybody would pick them between Lakers,Spurs or Hornets.
But it's not clear who is going to be the 2nd,3rd or 4 seed so the only secure thing is that we'll be the 1st seed.
My hope is NO will tank to the 8th spot to avoid the risk of to play Lakers.We have the 1st seed but i believe teams still have more afraid of the champs.
But Memphis could do the same.
