    With the Spurs losing that is awesome. It only took us winning 20 out of 22 games to do it.

    Manu Ginobili in crunch time lol. Beautiful win by the Bucks and our boy Beasley.

    1st seed here we come.

    Rockets also tied for 2nd best record in the league now with Cavs loss.

    That's three teams in the West with a better record than the best team in the East.

    That shot was beautiful. Perfect catch when the ball moved to him, quick, smooth release.. nothing but the side of the backboard.

    Just wanted to add that the Warriors have 3 losses at home. All three losses came from our very own Southwest division teams (spurs, rockets, grizzlies).

    Toughest division indeed.

    Let this sink in, folks: One game before the halfway point in the season, we are 2.5 games behind the #1 spot in the league.

    "D'Antoni is the worst coaching hire EVER! / Morey must go! / Le$ is cheap!" my ass.

    All they need to do is find a way to trade Corey Brewer, and they will be fine.

    I was wondering why we traded Beasley.

    It was all part of Morey's wizarding world.

    Send Beasley to the Bucks in the Eastern Conference to beat the top Western Conference teams.

    It all makes sense now Morey.

    The Mike D'Antoni hire, and the Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon signs were all Les Alexander's ideas. Les is the real hero here. If Murray took charge of last off season the Rockets wouldn't be where they are right now. Les Alexander for best owner of the year.

    2nd or 3rd seed won't matter too much at the end of the day but I'm curious if Pop will push for the division title or rest his players as the year goes on. In the East the Cavs have that luxury but the West is stacked so if you rest your seeding might suffer.

    Gotta push for 1st place! The 8th seed looks like it will be a sub-.500 team.
