Rooting for the Warriors. The only way we can get the 7th seed is if they win the next two while we go 1-1.

F'in Spurs! The one time I'm pulling for them and they gotta go rest their two best players. I guess the Rockets better win out.

according to nba.com they arent making it up.. i dont understand how they will determine seeding if thats the case.. if it even effects it
i read that that they are locked in to their seeding, and I know this is trivial and completely the last thing anyone should be worried about, but Brooklyn is two games behind Indiana with two games left for both teams and Brooklyn with a 3-0 series edge. in the case of the #3 seed in the East, that is set already for Indiana- they are the division leader and would take the tiebreaker. but what about home court advantage if the two teams might meet in the playoffs? Boston trails Chicago with two games to play as well... the Bulls just won tonight but would hold a tiebreaker even if they had been tied at the end of the season...
One reason why I wouldn't the Rockets to play Denver..they get ridiculous officiating help, especially at home. Sure Harden draws a lot of bogus fouls but Denver as a team get a ton of FTs. Tonight they have a 44-22 FT advantage away in Milwaukee.
