    I'd rather stay at 2 because it's looking like SA will be at 3 and OKC either 4 or 5. I'd rather face SA again over OKC. Chris Paul owns SA.

    That's why we let golden state win last night.

    People will say otherwise but I'd DEFINITELY rather face SA than OKC. Before we even get into the details, Roberson is the best defender of harden in the league and as great as Clint has been he struggles with really strong centers and Adams is a monster.

    Avoid them at all costs, CP is gonna cook whoever guards him and Anderson is serviceable against Aldridge because he's gonna do the same thing on offense he's either on or off. If we play okc Anderson is gonna have to come off the bench, if not melo will average 25+

    #1 seed went out the window when we went on the 5 game losing streak and lost Harden.

    Now we fear the Thunder? ;)

    Don't think they were ever going to get or keep the one seed. Can they stay at two or three?

    SA becomes another monster in the Postseason. We could give them a good fight with a healthy CP3 for sure.

    Depends on health.

    Win as much as possible while managing minutes. But no, I don't propose sitting starters unless the seeding is 100% locked.

    We'll prob end up 3rd. I see Paul missing another stretch of games.

    Lol talking like we even have an option? As if 2 will be easy to keep. The way we're playing now and the way the west is. could drop from 2-6

    yes, they should try to get it...it’s probably not gonna happen tho

    keep the 2 seed at all costs...last thing u need is opening up a series against SA on the road...so far this season SA is 17-2 at home, but just 9-11 on the road

    SA and OKC will both be tough but personally, id rather play OKC. They have no depth and aren’t good at shooting. I suspect we will tire them out much easier. The Spurs never look good on paper but coach pop is an absolute monster. He has the potential to figure us out and takes things away more so than any other coach.
