TBH I'd rather play Houston than LA. Lakers are cryptonite to the Spurs in the playoffs. Spurs can beat OKC with or without HCA this year, I believe.
Need a fast forward button just to get us into the end of the season, it's dragging and this is why the season should be shortened by 10 games. It shouldn't take the last week of the regular season to solidify your spot in the conference, you have plenty of games for that.

For the Blake Griffin punch or the Durant flop? Here's a gif of the Ibaka punch, can't find one quickly enough of Durant's flop.

I guess the nba deleted all available clips in the net of durant's flop.
OKC bout to lose the the Wolves.
damn OKC is just falling off a cliff.
the thunder could easily lose at Milwaukee tmrw night
Duncan refused to lose to night old man river with the game winner. Spurs up 2 1/2.
SA magic number to win Southwest is 3 (SA has tiebreaker over MEM)
Magic number to clinch top 2 seed is 4 (LAC - #3 for now - has tiebreaker over SA)
Magic number to clinch #1 should be 8 (not assuming SA will own tiebreaker)
Good info. Lots of games yet to be played though.![]()
Looks like Utah just moved back into #8 for the time being. Hope they stay there!
Newb question here...1/2 game leads are by seasons end just as good as full games correct?
There won't be any 1/2 games leads at season's end.
The half games indicate differences in the numbers of games each team has played. The Spurs are up 2.5 on OKC because they've played 1 less game than the Thunder have. I think the GB column is pretty much worthless in the NBA; the column to watch is the loss column. The true extent of a lead or deficit in the standings in the NBA is always about the loss column.
Other than SA, Heat have an easy schedule. Spurs are 2L behind the Heat, so it looks like Heat will have Finals HCA.
Heat can't rest, though. If they rest their big three in one game, they are essentially a lottery team. Sitting either LeBron or Wade makes them pretty ordinary. Playing their big three heavy minutes for three seasons and two deep playoff runs will catch up to them, and sooner than later.
They'll get plenty of rest during the Milwaukee series.
Tough one coming up. I hate the Heat as an OKC fan but a Spurs loss would help us a bit still with the upcoming game in OKC.
Milwaukee closing the gap on OKC. Only down 2 now. Hopefully they can make it a game.
This might be a huge meltdown by OKC to close out the season.
Right now we live and die by Russ's performance. Not exactly a thing to look forward to going forward but it is what it is. Against the Spurs and Heat, our heavy reliance on two players will be exposed. Even against teams like Denver I'm afraid of what's to come.
And lastly, a first round matchup with Houston is like playing with fire. James Harden will play every against us like it's game 7.
LOL YEP.I hated Dallas for years with Terry etc., but this year or lately I agree lol. I can never be a fan, but if they or Utah keep LA out of the playoffs thats good so we can laugh.
Damn the Spurs schedule is just ing brutal. I'll be amazed if we hold on to the number one seed.
I could see this realistically happening. It would take a lot of things going the Rockets way and a horrible (per par) Westchuck shooting performance but I dont think Houston is intimidated by K Mart
