Thunder @ Houston tonight without Westbrook. Scotty and the gang putting all their meth in one basket against the Spurs so I'm expecting a loss tonight tbh.
the spurs should win at home against memphis, at home against phoenix, and the toros should be able to win the finale at home against the Defenders.
its a matter of winning two of the road games left, against Minnesota, Dallas, and Houston.

CIA POP
I think they win tbh. Houston is playing terrible as of late and match up horribly with Meth as it is.
that'd be fine too as it keeps Houston in that 4 seed and the Thunder/Clippers locked in for the 2nd round tbh.
Despite the referees, Minny beat Miami in 20T in Miami. Indiana lost as well but stay close in their race for #1 seed. just percentage points behind Miami. The Heat has played 2 fewer games.
Damn, one of the Pacers and Heat is going to back into the 1 seed. It's like neither team wants it.
Houston's made it evident that they're not going to catch LAC for No. 3. I'd rather OKC get knocked off tonight and set the Spurs up to regain that 4 game lead.
EDIT: And unless Houston gets their heads out of their asses, that's not going to happen.
stupid question here but let's say Thunder go on a run and win out, hooked up with lots of calls per the par. If they go 8-0, what would Spurs need to still maintain HCA? sorry if this has been covered already.
8-0 would put OKC at 63-19. The Spurs would have to finish 64-18, meaning a 5-1 finish at worst.
Any combination of 5 Spurs wins/OKC losses will give us the 1st seed. So if OKC wins out, we'd have to win 5 out our last 6 games to keep the 1st seed.
Spurs have to finish a game ahead of OKC to maintain the 1 seed. If they're tied at the end of the RS, OKC is no. 1.
to the posts above. appreciate it.
hopefully Htown can take care of business tonight.
Naturally, they're letting a Westbrick-less Thunder team hang tough with them while KD is only at 21 points on the night. I was hoping Houston would run them out of the building.
Still a toss up at this point. Even though Indiana has been fading, they still have a realistic shot at the top spot.
Miami-52-23 (75 Games)
Indiana-53-24 (77 Games)
Knicks
Nets
@ Memphis
Pacers
@ Hawks
@ Wizards
76ers
Worst case: is 4-3 Best case: is 6-1
Pacers
Hawks
@ Bucks
@ Heat
Thunder
@ Orlando
Worst case: is 3-2 Best case: is 4-1 IMO
Best case (at least how i view it) they would probably finish between 56-26 and 57-25 while Miami could finish between 56-26 and 58-24. Even if the Pacers lose to the Heat, they should still win the series series via the conference tie breaker.
There goes any talk of the Thunder going 8-0. Houston does SA a big favor and hands OKC a loss.
8-0
So now it is down to any combination of 4 Spurs wins or Thunder losses for the rest of the season and we get HCA. Is that right?
A win on Sunday night gives the Spurs a 4 game lead with 5 games remaining (OKC would have 7 games to make up that ground)
Correct. I'd be pretty surprised if we don't keep the 1st seed.
Who do y'all prefer to play in the 2nd round? Also keep in mind who you think might have the best chance of beating OKC in the 2nd round?
Thanks!
