Who do you want to get the 3rd seed?

I'll take the Thunder, tbh..CP3-Blake one two punch PNR/PNP is tougher for us to defend..Pop self-imploding with hack-a-DJ strategy..Kawhi inexplicable disappearance vs those guys..rookie coach+ Westchuck on the other hand..
Clippers.
Thunder are scary as , they'll probably beat us in a 7 game series but won't beat GSW.
OKC
With Pop's coaching we're basically playing 6 on 5 against LAC
Both
oh wait, I thought the question was who do you want to play in the playoffs
Thunder for sure. Clippers are a nightmare matchup for us.
Strategically, I want the one who gives Golden state a tougher matchup to play golden state. Spurs always have a hard road to the Finals. About time someone else got that luck.
Either way, Spurs win tbh..
OKC, they are softer on defense and Durant isn't the same after all those surgeries.
Yes, I agree with you.
OkC gave fits to our bench, specially their big men, otherwise it would have gone better for us.
Clippers present problems for us.
Well if the Grizz stay at 6 they could make things interesting if the clips rise to 3. They know how to play the clips and even if they don't win they'd rough them up for us.
Not sure who is tougher for GSW.
I would have thought Clippers bc of their potential to be dominant in the paint, but GSW handled Clippers no problem.
OKC looks like a shallow team in comparison to GSW, but their length I suppose can bother them, and they also can run, and Westbrook is a handful for any guard to handle. Which is your guess?
OKC. Clips vs. the Dubs is a blood feud and I'd love to see them beating each other up. Clips aren't scared of them. They're also a nightmare match up for us. On the other hand, we've gained a lot of confidence playing against the Thunder.
Both are gonna give the Spurs some problems tbh, that was an entertaining game to watch vs the Clippers until Pop hacka, thank god i didnt watch live so i could skip all that
Clippers played terrific, ran out of juice in the 4th but the Spurs showed up and took the challenge. Definitely a key game for the Spurs to learn from and improve
I thought I texted Pete and told him to tell you that it's time to start a mvparker thread where you eat your crow....
OKC is a much easier matchup for the Spurs now IMO, but they probably have a better chance at knocking off the Warriors, too..
I don't give one flying as long as we're healthy, tbqh
A Warriors-Clippers, Spurs-OKC WCSF would be a dream come true for basketball fans everywhere. So many great storylines.
Still would rather play the Clips, tbh. But ask me again in March. If we continue struggle against the Clips this season, I'd prob change my pick. Either team gives problems though.
It depends on how the Spurs play both of these teams in later matchups this year.
We are not losing this season to the ing clippers. Okc i respect.
Idk man he still looks pretty damn good.
I think the addition of LMA helps both of these match-ups quite a bit. But I might have to pick the Thunder, cuz we simply don't seem to have an answer for CP3-BG PnR. They keep spamming that play and it keeps getting them easy buckets. Thunder would be slightly easier to guard w/ their tendency to iso, just gotta let Kawhi and Green do their thing on KD and Russ.
One of them will likely get a 4 seed, just saying.
KD and Russ would crush the Spurs
Whoever gives the Warriors most trouble would be the ideal 4th seed. Clippers might give them a decent push. Not sure how OKC will fare against the Warriors yet.
