    I need the Thunder to be in the 3, 6, or 7 seed so they are on the GSW's side of the bracket.

    Doesn't matter, when you have the best team, you can beat anyone.

    Honestly, watching that game, I got the feeling that the Rockets would wax the ass of whoever we play out of those 2 teams. Slice it however you like:

    SA - slow, methodical to a fault, inconsistent shooting, shoddy defense without Kawhi
    OKC - Leastbrook, Worsebrook, Westbrick, Roberson is out, Worstbrook

    I just hope Westbrook averages a triple double and the Thunder go 47-35 again. But I guess it would be cool if they gave Golden State a fight.

    I hope they get the 7th seed and face GS in the 1st round without Curry...I hope Portland keeps the 3rd seed and faces GS in the 2nd round

    Portland routinely plays GS very tough at home...I don’t think they’re capable of getting a game at Oracle unless Steph is still out tho

    I think we’d beat them pretty comfortably in 5 with that 1 game that OKC wins being at home by like 4 or 5 points...1 of those games that we had a great chance to win but OKC managed to pull out in the final minutes (kinda like the Christmas game)

    Tickets however are going to be redonculous against okc if they can make it past the first round.

    I'm fine with them being 6th as well. The goal is to have OKC play GS before we have to.

    why would you use a game from 2 months ago (1 game sample size) to prove he can shoot? that was a career game for him, and it was a blowout win. all his other games don't even sniff that level of production. hell you could've probably his next 5 games after that one and it wouldn't even equal the same production.

    he's at 30% on the year, averaging 2 attempts. i agree, and know he has potential, i just think it's kinda egregious to point out ferguson being the the x-factor when most thunder fans don't even want him playing/saying he's not ready yet haha

    I want OKC to be the 8 seed. They suck. Can't guard the perimeter, can shoot enough to keep up with the Rockets.

    Doesn't matter who we play.

    Other teams should be placing themselves to avoid the Rockets

    I don't care who plays who in what round. Just line those stiffs up so we can bowl 'em over.

    Wishful hoping is that along with us, New Orleans, Denver, or the wounded Warriors beat OKC too.

    i'd love to see gsw face okc in the first round and the blazers in the second. if they're not 100% they could lose to either team.

    I want them to be 7th. Westbrook may actually play well against GS due to the extra motivation with the whole Durant thing. And I'd love for GS to lose before they reach us.

    I want Portland 3rd to face GS in the 2nd round, and that's pretty much a lock. Don't really care about anything else.

    Russ misses a 3 at the end of regulation to send it to OT, then misses a layup at the end of OT.

    So. Damn. Clutch!
