Blazers
Portland has the tie breaker on the Spurs and the Spurs have the tie breaker over Thunder.
If Portland beats OKC (and assuming we beat T-wolves) Spurs will finish no lower than the 7th seed. And probably end up as 7th seed.
If OKC beats Por we could be the 6th seed if we win r last 2 but could drop to 8th by losing the finale w/ Mavs.
So who we gonna root for?
Blazers
thunder
Portland. no way do we want to finish 8th.
and maybe GS can pull a miracle off like they did tonight.
If the Mavs have the 2nd seed locked up before the last game...expect the Mavs to sit all starters and allow the Spurs to win.
they wont have it locked up.If the Mavs have the 2nd seed locked up before the last game...expect the Mavs to sit all starters and allow the Spurs to win.
Probably unless the Jazz lose to Golden State....
If we win both, it's better that the Thunder win. That way we end up 6th and the Lakers get to face the Blazers.
If we split, a Blazers win it's better so we don't end up 8th, although the Lakers don't look too scary right now.
i'll root for the one who has more points to make me feel better...
1. rooting for POR
If the Mavs have the 2nd seed locked up before the last game...expect the Mavs to sit all starters and allow the Spurs to win.
2. they will have it locked if DEN wins out. good news that b-roy is back for the PO. otherwise, DAL might play their starters so that they get a depleted POR team instead of the spurs.
Okc
the only benefit derived from having the 6th seed (for those rooting for OKC) is that in the second round, we may have home-court advantage if no 7 beats no 2. otherwise, there is nothing to it. the 2-3 seeds are playing pretty much the same right now and will likely beat OKC anyway. i see no gain in rooting for OKC.
Rooting for Portland...if Portland wins and SA wins tomorrow night, SA isn't playing LA until the Finals.
Whatever scenario has SA playing Dallas, that's what I'm looking for (2/7 or 3/6).
I'm not really going to cheer for either of them, but if I had to pick, it would probably be Portland..it'll be tough for them to win without Roy though..
Hopefully the Spurs can just take care of their own business..
want to lose in the 1st round again?
You really are an obsessive front running which will make it more fun to see how you flame out when the Mavs inevitably go down in the playoffs.want to lose in the 1st round again?
Whichever gets us to play the lakers.
As a matter of fact----the BEST chance the spurs have of getting to the second round---is to play the lakers. Call me crazy---but you heard it here first.
i want the spurs to play dallas at 2nd seed so bad ... knocking them out of the PO would be satifying....not to mention, we wudnt have to face LA till the WCF.
anything that doesn't make us the 8th seed
OKC
rather play the nuggets or lakers than the mavs
thunder because they are going to winnnnnnnnn
The seeding thing really doesn't matter unless you believe in the NBA conspiracy.
At most, the Lakers will finish eight games better than the Spurs in the final standings. And we all know that they aren't really eight games better than the Spurs at this point in the season.
The only way I would fear the eighth seed is if the NBA did favor the top seeds in each conference by favoring them on top of their home court advantage. I guess that is a very real possibility with the Donagy thing.
But of all the seasons I have witnessed, this year especially, you can throw seeding out the window. The only tangible advantage, imo, is home court.
spurs beating the mavs would be the biggest disaster in mavs fans history the mavs could not say anything to spurs fans anymore because we would of beat them in the playoffs and the famous word spurs always use to mavs fan
i would still go with denver in the 1st round but would be excited to see a mavs spurs series but would be really upseting for the spurs to lose to the mavs 2 years in a row if mavs do end up beating the spurs
