Race to #1 Seed, San Antonio or Oklahoma City?

[BatManu20]

Screw this, I want LA in the 1st round. If we're not winning the ship, lets at least send home the circus in the playoffs. Would be the best consolation prize tbh.

actually lakers might get the 7th seed

I actually agree, but I think we'll finish with the 2nd seed so it works out. I just hope the Lakers don't get the 6th seed cause that would screw it up.

EDIT: If the Lakers did finish 6th though, they'd play the Clippers in the first round. That'd be a great 1st round matchup tbh.

Wow, Spurs have 2 days of rest, and OKC is coming off a back to back and has to play IN san antonio? on national television? wow the league and stern are definitely out to get OKC

Would love to see us get home court through out the playoffs.

Thank you Utah, Houston and Golden State forgetting how to win games at the least opportune time. In Theory we could face any of those three or the lakers and even Portland in the 1st round. Thats going to make scouting a nightmare for the 1st round.

I'd rather see them play the Warriors they'd have a better chance of beating the Clippers IMO.

[OKC]

REFKC..come on, give it up. I'll give you the BS game 6 stuff. Leading up to game 6, SA shot just as many FT's as OKC did in head to head games from regular season game 1 last year through Game 5 of WCF. We're +9 and +7 in the two games this regular season. I'll man up and admit that KD and RW are good non violating (ie fine $$) floppers in selling some phantom calls and KD's frailty lends itself to giving the appearance of fouls that aren't fouls, but you gotta realize these guys draw a lot of legit fouls as well. KD has become very adept at baiting guys. You catch a guy with his hand in the cookie jar..you gotta make him pay. It's smart basketball. Having said that, I don't like a closely called games and even as an OKC fan I wish refs would let some more contact slide, including contact on the FT hogs on OKC's roster.

My bad, still a newbie. Won't happen again.

np. well intentioned though
from what i understand ST had been in trouble in the past for similar stuff

[cd021]

I'm surprised we only turned the ball over 12 times. We looked very sloppy and still beat the "best team in the west" by 12 and without our best player too. Great win

The issue isn't so much the calls they get, it's the inconsistency when teams don't get the same calls. For example, Perkins sets the most illegal screens in the leauge in my opinion and it's rarely called.

OKC Next 5 Games

3/13 Jazz

3/15 Orlando

3/17 @ Dallas-The Mavs play them tough, virtually everytime. This should be at the very least close.

3/19 Denver-This should be a track meet, I don't expect Denver to win, but it could make the following night @ Memphis a tough game for OKC.


3/20 @ Memphis-They are big and physical. They also play well at home and should be ready against a top tier team in the league.

The last 3 games are the best bets for them losing.

I understand. I deleted my original post.

[bklynspursfan]

Lets see if the Mavs can get pull the upset tonight.

[cd021]

A loss by OKC would be a double wammy. Not only would they fall 2 games back of the Spurs. But they would drop an in conference game to put them at 32-11 (.744) compared to the Spurs 28-12 (.700) western conference win percetage. Assuming OKC wins the April 4th game. Every conference game becomes much more important for tie breaking purposes.
