I can't believe OKC might choke this away.
POR scores 8 quick points to tie it.

let's go POR! this way, we don't have to play our starters in 2 days => more rest.
portland takin the lead!
lets go blazers. get this
westbrook pulling a richardson on the blazers!!!
I'm confused. Why do you want Portland to win?
guarantees us 7th seed at worst if portland wins.
same here I'm confused
some BS calls by the refs against POR
I want the Spurs to play Denver. OKC losing does not help that.
IIRC...If Portland wins, Spurs are guaranteed of finishing no worse than 7th, but probably have no shot at 6th.
If OKC wins, Spurs have a shot at the 6th seed, but could also fall to 8 if they lose to Dallas.
So, if Portland wins, it is mathematically impossible for us to be any lower than the 7th seed, no matter what happens against the Mavs, right???
you mean if portland wins spurs will get 7th
OKC winning gives us a better shot at 6, because we have the tie-breaker against OKC. But either way we really need to win Wednesday.
Ill try and explain.
If portland wins the worst we can finish is 7th... which means we avoid LA no matter what(win or lose against dal) but then our chances for 6 become slim because we need Golden State to beat portland which prob wont happen... making us the 7 seed almost guaranteed.
If OKC wins that means if we beat dallas we land the 6th seed which would be nice BUT if we lose to DAL and port beats golden state and OKC beats memphis then we end up 8..... which is also very possible...
so IMO i would rather just avoid LA because that dallas game is nowhere near a easy win... and i dont think there will be that much of a difference between 6 or 7 seed.
Yeah, thats what I meant. This stupid season is crazy.
best we can do is just sit back and let the cards be dealt to us. lol
but then if we lose to dallas we will probably land the 8th seed... are you willing to put that kind of pressure on the dallas game?
I'd rather the Spurs not need to play the Mavericks to avoid the Lakers, because that sounds like some sort of bad dream.
Denver is a basket case right now...we'd bounce them in 5 games, max.
Exactly...plus if OKC loses this game tonight they are locked into the 8th seed, and I think they would give LA loads of trouble whereas Portland without Roy in the Playoffs may just get swept and not challenge LA too much...
Honestly it doesn't matter much to me whether we play LA or Dallas. Dallas has had our number in recent years, I'm not sure they present any less of a challenge than LA. So 7 and 8 are equally undesirable to me. With the 6th seed at least there's a chance we face Denver.
well, the positive about if portland wins is that I think OKC gives the Lakers a tougher time in the first round than a Roy-less Blazers would
exactly - why play on wednesday anyway man? gino is tired - let him rest. duncan is 34 - let him rest. dyess will prob. be out as well.
if DEN win tomorrow, DAL does not need to win vs. us.
pop will likely play hill and parker to get them some more playing time after being out with injuries. if DEN loses, DAL needs to win, so we can use the game to get them tired before we play them in the PO.
however, all this is void if OKC wins tonight.
yeah but for me I don't see a big difference in terms of difficulty between mavs and lakers. I'd prefer having a shot for the 6th
