Houston will be the 2nd seed. Always. Why hasn't anyone taken note of this?
Or, to put it another way, which teams (if any) can you see deliberately losing games at the end of the season to avoid OKC once they lock down their playoff position?

Who the cares about OKC?
I'm more interested in where the Spurs will finish. If OKC lands in the #8 spot that could have a big impact on how that shapes out. (Seems pretty obvious, but I guess it has to be spelled out for some people).
I see a lot of If If If. What if OKC finishes 7th?
Yeah, that could change the dynamic at the top as well.
Way too early.
You say that now but once we lose the December Championships you'll be whistling a different tune.
I don't care where okc ends up, I just hope the Spurs get to face Houston in the playoffs at some point. Spurs owe them a playoff beatdown.
Dallas is currently the 7 seed and on pace for 58 wins. OKC would need to go 49-11 the rest of the season to tie that. Their only hope at a 7-seed would be a star player ahead of them having a season ending injury in the next month or two.
On one hand tough 1st round was good for Spurs last year, on the other hand going against healthy OKC, before someone bruised them, it`s not a good thing
Teams will avoid the Spurs, not the other way around.
Everyone is now freaking out after they beat three eastern conference roadkill teams and Cavs minus Lebron?
That is a lot of wins for a 7th seeded team.
58 wins for a 7th seed would have to be a record, right? That's nuts.
OKC has its own problems to worry about and one of them is making the playoffs and finding ways to give Westbrook and Durant a break. They don't have enough to challenge for the le. Not enough bench help from role players and scorers in the playoffs.
That would be a record but its not going to get there. As Manu says, there will be a regression to the mean. Western conference teams have feasted on the Eastern conference and patsies in the West so far. Once the top 8 start playing each other, things will normalize. I think 48 wins gets you the 8th seed.
OKC is irrelevant. Spurs will crush them with or without a fully healthy team. They want no part of San Antonio.
That is more what I was thinking. Around 50 W's SHOULD get you into the playoffs.
seems pretty dense to act high and mighty over a team that played SA better than anyone, without Ibaka in the first two games.
SA needed 4 miracles to close that G6 out @ okc
Manu's 3
TD's OT performance
Kawhi's steal on WB
and our backup PGs picking up Enrique's slack per par
45 wins will easily get you the 8 seed this year. The West is really good teams and real teams this year, with no middle ground other than Phoenix.
Huge dropoff from 7 to 8 right now. 45 wins will be more than enough to get the 8 seed.
Houston? They will be 5th at best.
