    I like our chances of taking 1 or 2 games from any of these top 4 teams.

    Lets just try to get it to game 6. That way at the very least we get another home game and bring in some revenue.

    If it wasn't for the Rockets finally making the playoffs I don't think I would care as much. I didn't pay attention to the playoffs last year until the conference finals. The same as all of the year's the Rockets didn't make the playoffs.

    Rockets VS Spurs

    I think Rockets will face Spurs in the 1 round, OKC will catch Spurs, and be the first seed in the West

    Well, it will be better than that terrible ATL-MIN matchup that the poor kid in the NBA television ad has to watch.

    Not optimistic at all against OKC.. Really would rather play Denver if possible, even though I'm pessimistic against them as well.

    OKC will sweep us in 4.

    Can someone explain to me why Memphis is stuck at #5 despite having a better record than the Clippers? Thanks.

    So in order for the Grizz to get the 3rd seed, the Nuggets would have to fall behind both the Clippers and Memphis?

    Let OKC take over as the #1 seed and we have a puncher's chance in the first two rounds.

    IMO, the most important matchup for us is at PG. I'm not saying this to hate, but we're done for if Lin is matched up with a top notch guy or even a defender like Conley that can gum him up.

    Despite the blow out, Denver without Lawson and Gallinari is a team we want. San Antonio with a gimpy Parker and Ginobili as well.

    Not especially eager to face anyone else on the slate.


    Yes.
    Memphis still gets homecourt advantage despite being the #5 seed, though.

    No, just Memphis. Denver and Memphis switch seeds 3 and 5, and LAC would stay 4th. However, the 5th seed would still have homecourt advantage by having a better record.

    Thunder are currently a half game back of the Spurs. Assuming they win their division, OKC owns the tiebreaker due to confrence record.
    OKC Remaining Schedule
    @ GSW
    @ POR
    vs. SAC
    vs. MIL

    SAS Remaining Schedule
    @ DEN
    vs. SAC
    @ LAL
    @ GSW
    vs. MIN
    I could see San Antonio dropping a game, especially if they end up resting their starters @ LAL or @ GSW, depending on whether or not Pop wants to fight for the 1 seed. If San Antonio goes 4-1, OKC will need to go 4-0. I say OKC takes it.

    I can't wait for the battle between Z-bo/Griffin and Gasol/Jordan. They always play each other physically and with a hostile bum like Matt Barnes in the mix it's going to get quite "chippy" out there.
