    Hou isn’t losing again, we are going to be the 4th seed. Rudy is gonna be an issue.

    Looking more and more like Utah. Fuck me. The worst possible matchup for us. Rubio and Gobert will be a mess to deal with.

    OKC better play hard to the end of the season.
    Otherwise Spurs will take the 7th seed and OKC will get swept in 3 games vs GSW.

    It is so annoying that division records actually mean something.

    Pretend they don't, and that it's our conference record that sinks us.

    Does that help?

    But what do you think about the refs in the series. They don't really have a superstar other teams have that is going to get the call EVERYTIME. Where as we have Dame. I think that plays a factor.

    They play OKC, is it really THAT unlikely they lose?

    I think Ill be happy for either team. Not much of a rooting interest there.

    Whatever, you HAVE to root for Virginia because you said you hated Texas Tech a couple weeks ago.

    With the 3 seed on the line and currently on a 6 game winning streak, yeah it’s unlikely imo.

    So if we beat LA Tuesday night, we have home court advantage locked up no matter what?

    Yes, or if we beat the Kings. Win both and a Houston loss to OKC would give us the 3rd seed, unless Denver loses both games too then we're 4th.

    So it’s all still up in the air! So much drama, I love it! Last year taught me to be careful what you wish for!

    At least the good thing is, no one outside of GS can really rest their guys. Everyone has to play unless coaches start pulling a Mike Malone.

    Working through the standings and schedules-- this HOU-OKC game on Tuesday has implications for both 2-3-4 and 5-6-7-8.

    I don't think I've ever seen a single game with so much importance on seeding for this many teams.
