Calm Down, Thunder lose and Spurs win mean Thunder #7

The lowest seed to win it all since we did in 95 was the 3rd seeded Mavs so yea it does have a lot of bearing statistically.

It certainly doesn't instill confidence to lose a playoff-atmosphere game like that to the Thunder, but frankly I'm a fan of playing the Warriors sooner since we were not going to have home court against them anyway. We are older than our key opponents, so we are more likely to be worn down at later stages of the playoff grind. Who are we going to face in the WCF that are going to take down the Rockets that just downed the Warriors? Nuggets? Blazers? Utah?

IMO we've improved our chances of beating the Warriors by 1% and reduced our chances against everyone else maybe 5%. It's not the worst thing in the world. You might even choose to take that deal.

There's so much history repeating itself here. MVP award going to someone else. Our franchise player finding another gear (in Hakeem's case he finally learned how to punish double teams). Shaky ownership situation. Old players with a couple of young guns. Lower seed. I'm not a superstitious person, but I believe these things may become a psychological boost.

Maybe it's irrational, but I think we are favorites to win 4 without home court against anyone but the Warriors and either the Raptors or Bucks. We're going to need some luck like every champion in history has needed. Despite Tilman, I believe.

i think the series w/ UTA can easily go 6. while GS is going to steamroll the paper clipps in 4 and be waiting for us in oakland. regarding the similarities w/ our '95 squad, that team was clutch as can be. while this team is losing big leads literally every single game. this team is old, short, unathletic, and lacking in shooting and two-way players. that team had several two-way players and two legit stars. that team didn't have to beat a roster of allstars either. sorry i don't share your enthusiasm, but i don't see this squad getting to the WCF. morey had an abysmal season. everyone except harden/green/house had a forgetful season. and tilman is just a pathetic piece of shhit. harden's prime has been wasted, the end.
