    Ok guys lets hear it. Pro and cons as to why we should cheer for each team tonight.

    Would we rather be tied with SA and 2 games out of OKC or would we rather 1 game outside of both teams.

    Does each team's upcoming schedule factor into your decision. Help me out here.

    I'm at the point where I think we need to start worrying more about us winning, than what anyone else does.

    We can worry about whatever we want. I say Spurs, as they have plenty of more losses in their schedule to come.

    We root VERY hard for the Spurs.

    As we all know, a young, successful team can quickly crumble under pressure after a few losses. Back-to-back L's for OKC could send them into a tailspin, and the Spurs upcomming schedule suggests that they'll be in for a few more losses before the playoffs...

    I say the Spurs. We have the chance to beat the Thunder 2 more times ourselves, and the Spurs I believe will lose a couple of these tough ones coming up. Go Spurs!

    I'm rooting for the home team. If we can get some wins on the road everything will fall into place.

    I'm also thinking of which team would be liklier to knock the L*kers out, and I think that would be the Thunder...so I'd prefer them in the 8th spot.

    The Spurs lost last night, yes, but they looked pretty good. It could have gone either way. They've won 7 of their last 10 games and they're known for finishing seasons strong.

    Of course the team needs to focus on itself and play the games.

    However, "WE" does not mean the team. "We" means us lowly fans. If we don't worry about what other teams are doing, we aren't going to have much to talk about and we'll probably end up wasting a lot of time arguing about something stupid like the Tom Penn firing and how it most certainly means KP is next and how the whole thing will cause the team to go into free fall.

    I'm going with the Spurs. They are going to free fall all by themselves. In the meantime, I'd like to see them beat the OKC Interlopers.

    Looking at the loss column I am voting for the Spurs tonight. They have one more loss than OKC. They will be tied if the Spurs win tonight.

    Great game going on. SA is up by two and OKC has the ball with 33 seconds to go. Durant has 45 thus far.

    Anyone who complains about Nates play calling down the stretch probably wouldn't want Pop because his play calling tonight was identical.

    Nice for the Spurs to win tonight and also get help from the Bulls. Go Sacramento and Boston.
