I would like the Spurs to start the playoffs on the road... against Phoenix would be great.
So whichever scenario will make that happen is what I am rooting for.
Like Duncan said, they're slumping. They need to worry about how they're playing, not the seeding.

I'd love to see Suns vs. Jazz in the 1st round.
No.http://www.nba.com/statistics/playoff_picture.html
In games between Suns, Spurs and Rockets, Suns are 5-3, Rockets are 4-4 and Spurs are 3-5.More Than Two Teams Tied
(1) Better winning percentage in all games among the tied teams.
What I'm saying to you is that you have said that Spurs will lost against Jazz and Jazz will lost against Spurs. It's just impossible.
We're in luck these daysand with an insane amount of luck, we could beat Utah.
If we beat Utah, it's Spurs-Suns in 1st round.
The faces we wouldn't wanna see in 1st round?. Possibly. Mavs, Rockets, Denver are good options? better than Suns?.
In any case, Pop would start the game against Utah with Spurs Dynasty 21 as guard and Sequ as center?.
Ooooh ok! Missed that one
Ah ok... in that case, it would be
1. Lakers 57-25 (W Kings)
2. Hornets 56-26 (W Clippers, L @Mavs)
3. Jazz 55-27 (W Rockets, W @Spurs) <- 2-1 Suns, 2-1 Rox = 4-2
4. Rockets 55-27 (L @Jazz, W Clippers) <- Tie breakers?? 2-2 Suns, 1-2 Jazz = 3-4, better conf than Suns
5. Suns 55-27 (W Warriors, W @Blazers) <- Tie breakers?? 1-2 Jazz, 2-2 Rox = 3-4
6. Spurs 54-28 (L @Jazz, W Clippers)
7. Mavericks 51-31 (W Hornets)
8. Nuggets 50-32 (W Memphis)
It may indeed be better to win against the Jazz..

I doubt this scenario will happen. Spurs will most likely end up with the 3rd seed and a first round matchup against the Suns or Rockets. And I think the Suns series would be a complete toss up.
It's hard to imagine the Spurs exiting in the first round of the playoffs, but I can see that happening if they get a tough matchup, like the Suns.
As in Phoenix tosses up their hands then slump away to start packing for their early vacation?
^Sure, Ms. Glass Half Full
Jazz will also have a 55-27 record in this case and they have the tiebreaker over Phoenix (2-1 record in head to head games). Jazz will be third, Phoenix fourth, Rockets 5th and spurs 6th in your scenario.
Heh... I was editing my post while you posted yours. Head-to-head, followed by conference record would make it like this:
1. Lakers 57-25 (W Kings)
2. Hornets 56-26 (W Clippers, L @Mavs)
3. Jazz 55-27 (W Rockets, W @Spurs) <- 2-1 Suns, 2-1 Rox = 4-2
4. Rockets 55-27 (L @Jazz, W Clippers) <- Tie breakers?? 2-2 Suns, 1-2 Jazz = 3-4, better conf than Suns
5. Suns 55-27 (W Warriors, W @Blazers) <- Tie breakers?? 1-2 Jazz, 2-2 Rox = 3-4
6. Spurs 54-28 (L @Jazz, W Clippers)
7. Mavericks 51-31 (W Hornets)
8. Nuggets 50-32 (W Memphis)
Geez, the way the Spurs have played against quality opposition recently it doesn't matter who we play, we're toast. Unless you can get Dirk's trainers to do some work on everyone who's out hurt.
I think this is more likely, because I think the Spurs will probably win both against the Kings and the Jazz.
reality is it doesn't matter. the best team finds a way to win. any team in the west can beat any other team, but it takes a real champ to win a 7 game series against any one of the other teams, and to do it 3 times just to make it to the finals...
the only teams that have a chance of doing that are the Spurs, the Lakers, the Suns, the Mavericks, and the Hornets. And I think the Suns and the Spurs are likely to come out of it.
This year, i don't think there is such a thing as a perfect bracket. No matter who you are you are going to have a tough road to the Finals. The West is just ridiculous.
The west is tough ...but Spurs miss Manu with him ..Spurs still very dangerous ...
worst case scenario.. they bounce us out with scola averaging 20 and 10 on Tim
Go Spurs, Rockets and Suns tonight.
timvp, wouldn't it be better to root AGAINST Houston and for the Spurs and the Suns to win out? Then it would be:
1. Lakers
2. Hornets
3. Spurs 56-26
4. Jazz 53-29
5. Suns 55-27
6. Rockets 55-27 (Phoenix owns the tiebreaker due to a better division record)
7. Mavs
8. Nuggets
The Spurs would instead have homecourt against the Rockets and still be in the same bracket as you mentioned. Although your bracket is more likely at this point, I'll still root for the Spurs to end up 3rd and the Rockets 6th.
Rockets have the tiebreaker on the Suns. They aren't in the same division, so the conference record is used.
WTF? Why doesn't the NBA just do things consistently
Well then
