Does the NBA hate the Spurs that much?

[Darius Bieber]

On the official NBA.com's standings:

Both the Spurs and OKC have 14-4 records.
Same winning percentage.
Both 2-0 in their respective division.
AND SPURS OWN THE HEAD-TO-HEAD TIEBREAKER at the moment.

Yet OKC is #2 and the Spurs are #3. Wow.

Not sure if your being serious or not - but I believe that the standings on nba.com and espn.com are defaulted to list them alphabetically if there is a tie in records.

OKC is winning their division, the Spurs are not.

OKC is winning their division, the Spurs are not.

That makes sense.

Does the NBA hate the Spurs so much that David Stern would direct the web guys to set up the forms so that they always display the Spurs as low as possible? No

OKC is winning their division, the Spurs are not.

But didn't the NBA change the rule regarding seeding/division winners in 06 when SA and DAL played in the WCSF instead of the WCF (one had better record than #2 and #3 seeds but because of the division leader thing ended up #4 seed)?

I guess since the records are tied, division winner takes precedence over head-to-head.
