Last time I checked SPURS=30-9,Rockets are 20-17.Yea your right it looks the rockets are leading the SWD.
bulls@knicks, great to see a bad-start team start to get it together. Knicks will probably be embarrassed @MSG, again, no matter how wonderful Starbury thinks he is. edit: oops, Jamal's back, could be the +difference.
buck@bobcats, fairly evenly matched, could be an close, exciting game.
suns@pistons, Mark Stein says Suns will get 70W. Can DET get their championship D/hustle together for one full game or will Larry again about "having to coach effort"?
kings@clips, clips can be dangerous. pac divsion action.
rockets@grizz, SWD action, should be a tough game. SWD leader HOU trying to extend their SWD lead. (yes, the erratic, soft, attention-deficit-disorder Spurs aren't even leading their own division.)

So they own the tiebreaker.
There has to be a tie first.
Aren't you supposed to use a smiley when you post a useless fact, buttons?
Spurs are 4-3 in SWD at almost half-way (7 of 16 games) thru the divisional schedule.

Of the Spurs' remaining 9 SWD games, 6 are @SBC, so the road-soft Spurs have a pretty easy SWD schedule remaining.
boutons, maybe the Rockets will win the best overall SWD crown and get the top seed in the SWD Tournament.![]()
lol. good one Solid.boutons, maybe the Rockets will win the best overall SWD crown and get the top seed in the SWD Tournament.

The Czar, JVG and Marv Albert are going to be reunited for the first time in 3 yrs...could be fun to watch.
What has happened to the Pistons this year anyway?
They are starting to gel again...they will be awesome in 2nd half of the season.
They thought winning the hardware one year would be enough to scare off teams during the regular season, doesn't work that way. When you win the big one you've got a nice sized target on your chest, everyone looks to beat you. I don't think the Pistons were prepared for that going into this season, they'll rebound, it's not very tough to crawl out of the middle of the pack in the East.
Detroit is only 1 game behind last years record at this point in the season.
22-14 to 23-13
they will be just fine.
see above post
Hey, assholes, winning your division is about pride of place, as contrived as a division is. Something to shoot for, and anybody knows, the Spurs need anything that will help them focus.
How weird would it be to have 1st or 2nd best record in NBA, but not be able to win your division? The season matters.
You mean like Dallas in 02-03 or SA last year?How weird would it be to have 1st or 2nd best record in NBA, but not be able to win your division?
yeah, weird
IIRC, we were all sweating SA vs MIN records, HCA, blah, blah. But SA FTs lost them 5 games, per usual. Fat lot of good our HCA did vs LA.
Bulls come back in 4th.
Nocioni drains a 3 to tie it at 86, with 56 secs left. Ben Gordon going nuts in 4th qtr, again.
then knicks miss, Nocioni get the RB!
then the play for Gordon and he hits a floater with 0.2 secs, 88-86.
THAT's Basketball.

I win bet on Chicago game. I had 4.5 points had my ass saved when Gordon saved a possible OT by making a shot at the buzzer. *whew*
PS that made up for my loss last night in Seattle with the Cavs.
The season matters.When you take both sides of an argument, you're bound to win.Fat lot of good our HCA did vs LA.
Well, it's a fat load of good that the season matters!![]()
"both sides of an argument"
you dan kiss both sides of the Coyote's ass
you win what you can. HCA helps, but Spurs blew it big vs LAL.
The season counts, winning tough/road games (instead of losing like the Spurs have been doing) is the "testing" that Pop wants. Spurs ain't proved so far, the record and +12 diff PG. Spurs are soft as guacamole.
When the SPURS become 2005 NBA CHAMPS you probaly going to come out say I knew it all along those are my SPURS my team.![]()
"rockets@grizz, SWD action, should be a tough game. SWD leader HOU trying to extend their SWD lead. (yes, the erratic, soft, attention-deficit-disorder Spurs aren't even leading their own division.)"
The Spurs are about 10 games up on Houston.
In no way, shape, or form are the Houston Rockets leading their division.
Do you understand?
Out of retirement, just for that.
