    Spurs will be missing Tony Parker for extended period of time

    Portland's Aldridge got a groin injury. Out for a week.

    Clipper won't have Reddick for another 3 week

    If there is a time for a big push, now is the time. The Rockets are finally fully healthy and the other contenders beside OKC are now suffering injuries.

    In my opinion, for this year's Western conference playoffs, seeding is only important to get a home court advantage. Other than that, it is toss up. As it currently stands, number one seed can face Memphis or Dallas on the first round and that won't be an easy task even for OKC, San Antonio, Clippers or us.

    With a wrong trade, all the gelling and chemistry the Rox have worked hard to build will be gone, and we are going to miss this window of opportunity.

    "Warriors center Andrew Bogut missed Monday's practice due to a reaction to his cortisone shot, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Bogut, who is day-to-day with a shoulder injury, will attempt to heal up in time to play in his team's postbreak opener Wednesday. He has averaged 8.2 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks through 48 games played."


    Will see if he plays tonight

    I propose that anyone who criticizes placement of a thread should get banned for 8 years

    There's a big difference between having the 4th best record and playing the Clippers or Portland, and being 1-3 and playing Dallas, Memphis, GS, or Phoenix.

    This should surprise no one. Bogut seems to get injured in one way or the other all the time.

    Seeding is almost irrelevant in the west. I don't think there is an easy match up with any playoff teams. East is a joke. This blatant unfairness is just ridiculous!

    We will have to disagree. Memphis made the western conf finals last year with the same lineup. They are on 3 game win streak and 7 out of the last 10. Memphis, Dallas and GS current seedings do not reflect what they are capable of doing in the playoffs.
