So if the Thunder lose one more game, the Spurs can go 3-2 to finish and still keep the 1 seed. I guess that makes Sunday's LAL-OKC game pretty important.

Perfect scenario now is Lakers beat Thunder on Sunday. We win the next 2 at home and it's done. We don't even need to put the big 3 on the plane for the last 2 games
Yeah thats the only time I'll ever root for the Lakers.
are you crazy? We just need to win out and get one Bulls loss and we clinch best recover overall and HCA for whole playoffs. We can play the big three less than 15 mins each and win the next two home games. They just need to take the Suns game semi-serious and then breeze against the tanking Warriors.

Absolutely.
Crazy how the Thunder were unreachable before.
Denver beating the Suns tonight could help the Spurs because if the Jazz beat the Magic tonight and then beat the Suns in their next game, the Suns will be eliminated before their upcoming game against the Spurs.
And now, getting the top seed looks even more valuable because Denver as a 7th seed is relatively dangerous. PHX/Utah at eight looks like a much easier road, tbh. The only worrisome thing about those two teams is Utah's physical play.
Miami just lost to the Wizards, which gives the Spurs a two-game lead over the Heat. Nice
The Bulls appear headed to a win over the Mavs. That makes the two seed even less palatable.
Heat just lost one when Spolstra tried to pull a Pop... this pretty much solidifies our home court advantage against them
Let's cheer for the mavs!!
edit: goddamn it timvp y u so quick on the trigger
Heat just lost too. I know they're in the East but if the Spurs can reach the Finals and they happen to play the Heat, having HCA would be huge.
Lol 3 replies about the same thing.
Too bad there is absolutely no way the Mavs beat the Bulls tonight.

Magic number to clinch a better record than Miami is 3?
Hoping for a Thunder loss tomorrow. Will gladly overlook that it means a Laker win. Spurs can go 2-2 the remaining games if that happens.
Pulling for:
SA
OKC
Lakers
Clippers
Memphis
Mavs
Nuggs
Jazz
But if Pop plays any of the Big 3 @ Oakland in hopes of catching the Bulls again for homecourt throughout, i will lose my ing mind.
Thank you, Washington Wizards!
Yeah, if the Spurs beat Cleveland, Portland and Golden State, they are now guaranteed HCA over every team other than the Bulls.
I'm chalking the Suns game as loss already, even if they got nothing to play for. Last game of the season, probably Nash's final game as a Sun.
They didn't have anything to play for in last year's final game and Spurs still got stomped. And Manu...
, chicago def winning
It looks like the Jazz are going to lose to the Howard-less Magic
It would be nice if the Suns didn't have anything to play for when the Spurs face them in a few days, but I'd rather them nab the 8th spot and go up against them in the first round. Spurs could beat Utah, but they would get beat up doing it. Phoenix would pose less of a challenge, the Skunker notwithstanding.It looks like the Jazz are going to lose to the Howard-less Magic
If the Jazz lose tonight and then again to Phoenix on Tuesday, then the Suns will have the 8th seed clinched by the time they play the Spurs. I'm assuming that Houston loses at Miami tomorrow.It looks like the Jazz are going to lose to the Howard-less Magic
Time to pull out the Leonard pic. Might be Hairston after tonight.
