much easier for us to beat gsw
1st seed Golden State
8 seed OKC
Idc fuck em
Who would you be pulling for?
much easier for us to beat gsw
I'd just be happy to see one of them knocked out, both would give us a tough series.
Voted dem dubs. With that said, there is no way that OKC will be less than 4-5 seed tbh
That's tough ... I hate OK sooo much, but having home court advantage would be nice.
I chose the Warriors ... would love to watch the Spurs not only beat the #1 seed but also the medias new darling ...
If you expect OKC to be that high, where do you think the Spurs will finish?
I'd root for Warriors of course. but the OKC would be favorite to win.
I'd root for a brutal series with blood splattered all over the parque
spurs play like the spurs are capable of playing and I really dont give a flying who they play in any round.
LOL what. no way OKC can possibly do this.
best they can do is 6th or 7th seed. Dallas and Memphis are not going to lose much so they are pretty much set at 2, 3. Portland will due to injury so they will fall to 4th soon. HOU and SAS will probably fight it out for 5th

Agreed that it's unlikely the Thunder get higher than #6. GS vs OC would be a 1/8 or 2/7 first-round series.
Who I'd pull for gets a bit complicated by HCA, because the Spurs would presumably have homecourt over OC but not against GS should the Spurs meet the winner of that series later. Still, I think the Spurs match up well enough with GS that I would prefer them.
Who do y'all think OKC is going to pass up aside from Phoenix? The top 6 seeds are all on pace for 54+ wins. We're on pace for 51 wins, and I'd imagine most people here expect us to do better than that assuming we can finally stay healthy.
Let's say OKC wins 30 of their remaining 40 games. That's the high-end of what they could do IMO...don't see them getting more than that. That'd put them at 52 wins. No way in that's enough for the 4th or 5th seed.
I think they finish up 7th at best tbh, unless one of the top 6 teams just completely collapses due to injury or something. Most likely situation is that they end up with the 8th seed like this topic presumes, which is great for us. OKC and GS are the only two teams who have a chance to beat us in a series. Them playing in the 1st round would be perfect.
As for the question at hand...it's a tough one. OKC might be a tougher match-up for us, but GS is the better team and they'd have HCA over us. I'm leaning towards wanting GS to win, but I don't think it's as easy as some people here might think. A lot of people here think GS is a fraud team that isn't actually a le contender, and I completely disagree with that notion. That, or they think that since we match up well with them, the chances of us losing are slim to none. OKC matched up well with us last year, and we still won.

The Spurs match up well with GS, and we're the only team that has won a playoff series (besides the Clips) against them (I don't care if that was 2013, Spurs and GS have gotten to know eachother very well since then). We're also the only team that has beat them on their own court this season. ... So obviously dem Dubs...
I think OKC wins that series and there will be blood
So many storylines to unfold before then, though
I hope OKC misses the playoffs or get lose in 5 in the first round. One of the most unlikable teams of the past 20 years.
I want OKC to make the playoffs that way there is no excuses!
Doesn't matter to me, I would just be happy to have them play eachother, knowing the Spurs would only have play one of those teams.
... And this, too, of course.![]()
There is a possibility that if both the Spurs and OKC get on a roll that we'd have to face them in the first round as either 2 vs 7 or 3 vs 6.
On the other hand, the Suns show no signs of going away, OKC may not even make the playoffs. West is wild this year.
Ironically, the standings today (especially if the Thunder were subs uted for Phoenix at the 8 spot) might be almost ideal for the Spurs from a bracket perspective. GS/OKC and DAL/HOU on the same side of the bracket, with us left to deal with Portland and probably Memphis until the WCF? I'd take that in a heartbeat over the alternatives.
I would go for Okc but I don't think they have a chance vs gsw.
OKC would pound them. Golden State is a regular season wonder. Second round fodder at best.
Anything is possible with the thunderefs even that game last night bull call after bull call it makes me sick these s owe it all to the zebras.
It would be a good series... I can not see the thing winning getting out of that series without an injury.
Man, this would be like watching your ex-wife in a fight with your current mother in law. You don't much care who wins as long as it lasts a long time and is sufficiently bloody.
