NO/SA - HOU/DAL Games Thread

[BengalDuck]

Fuck we have to play Houston no matter what. Fuck fuck fuck.

Fuck you NO.

The hornets are serving this up on a platter to them

Avery Johnson had a really good point. Why didn't NOR foul when they were up three? They could have put the Spurs on the line for two, and kept a one point lead.

Even if we have to play the Rockets..... We ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!!
We can't choose our opponent. WE were going to have to play somebody. Sure, I would rather play New Orleans or San Antonio......but, eh..... I'll take it. Let's go get Home Court. That is all we can control.

Ime with the exclamation point.

Udoka with the reverse jam? We're playing Houston. Well, Houston never gets out of the second round, so maybe we're okay.

 

[maxiep]

Well after looking at the way Houston melted down when it counted and the fact that the Spurs look like their old version, maybe that's not so bad after all?

Fuck that noise. I wanted New Orleans. I don't want to see HOU or SA.

 

[Natebishop3]

Must win tonight. MUST win. MUST FUCKING WIN!

actually, its TMAC who doesn't get out of the first round....

 

[KingSpeed]

The way the Spurs are playing tonight, it looks like we're better off not playing them.

Fuck we have to play Houston no matter what. Fuck fuck fuck.

Fuck you NO.

What are you talking about? If we win we get the 3rd seed.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Posey is dead to me. Choking bastard.

 

[number 10]

"MVP" just bricked a free throw.

Yeah, NOR is melting down to end the season. I really wanted them.

Agreed. But now that we are playing Houston, we better win this game so we get HCA against the Rockets!!

 

[The Sebastian Express]

I'd like to thank the basketball gods for not only laughing as New Orleans choked but for giving us Violet Palmer.

No, the Spurs will, thanks to NO's choke. Division champion is first tie-breaker.

Really? I'm sorry, I was mistaken. I was under the impression that SA is now the #3 seed and our choices are the #4 (vs. HOU if we win at home) or #5 (vs. HOU if we lose on the road).

 

[Nikolokolus]

No, the Spurs will, thanks to NO's choke. Division champion is first tie-breaker.

They are guaranteed homecourt, but by virtue of us beating them in the tie breaker we finish ahead of them. No? They'd be fourth, we'd be third.

Ack, you're right.

No, the seeding is based on who is considered ahead in the standings. Division champ doesn't matter if the records are different, but in a tie, division champion is the first tie-breaker. So if Portland wins to end up in a tie with SA, SA wins the tie-break for seeding.
