    For the enjoyment of the game, it does. If we get the Dallas Mavericks, it will be very easy to attend every game.

    Can't beat that.

    Spurs would be my next choice for going to every game.

    Well our stay at the 2 seed didn't last very long...

    Hello San Antonio Spurs! Y'all ready for the Interstate 10 Showdown?!

    We are so screwed in the playoffs. Unless Nick Johnson and Clint Capela grow up fast we're in trouble.
    Don't want to play the Spurs.

    The Rockets and holding leads don't go together

    I thought it was stupid how everyone was celebrating for the 2 seed with 1 day. Rockets PR on FB and Twitter acting like it was the last game of the season.

    The only teams we can really beat in a series are Memphis, Portland, Clippers, Dallas, and OK. As long as we avoid GS and San Antonio then we'll be fine.

    Spurs may not be as talented as the Rockets but they would probably win in 7.

    I personally like the San Antonio matchup better than I like the Dallas matchup. San Antonio has no answer for James Harden. Dallas has Rondo. Neither series would be easy, however, and is nowhere near a given that we would win. I just think the Rockets match up better with San Antonio.

    Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green, Duncan controlling the paint. These guys are all elite or above average defenders...

    Harden will adjust to little Rondo trying to guard him.

    As long as we end up at least 3rd we are good. After that, the idea of facing GSW in round two becomes scary.

    If we can't win the next 2 games to keep pace on the 2nd seed than I hope we give Harden/ Ariza a few games off. I would much rather play a Portland team fully healthy and rested than The Spurs with no rest

    If NJ or CC are getting major minutes in the playoffs then something has gone horribly wrong anyway

    The Spurs are a good road team but I can't see them beating us in a game 7 in a ruckus environment.

    I see you're assuming that we will have home-court advantage.
