Now with more Rustshack!

JR Smith with a silly 40-foot turnaround shot to end the half. I used to practice that one in the driveway as a kid after I saw Vernon Maxwell hit it against the Heat at the buzzer.

You know, in the big picture that's probably the best thing for OKC. To have all that talent coming back plus a lottery pick. Once it was clear that OKC would not get healthy, its not gonna matter one bit if they make the playoffs and face GS. They're done in 4 or at most 5. Had they been healthy, it could have been interesting.

-Avoid SA in round 1
-Draw Dallas or Portland
-Avoid GS/SA in round 2 (if win round 1)

Yep. Been saying all year that Dallas is the team I want in Round 1. After that, its gonna be anyone's guess as to how far HOU can go BUT no doubt their chances are better the longer they can avoid GS & SA.

I ****ed that up. Portland is guaranteed a top-4 seed. Best case is

2- Houston
3- LAC/Memphis
4- Portland
5- SA
6- Memphis/LAC

Seems unlikely looking at the schedules.

Yea, but you're still spot on with drawing Dallas Round 1, Securing Home Court for Round 2 (IF they advance) and avoiding GS as long as possible...

Most importantly.... Rockets improve to 18-3 without Scruberley.

[Mav]

**** the bulls. That is all.

This is the worst Spurs team in a few years and they're still goin to be scary as hell for any team they face in the playoffs.

Old teams win championships.

This is an ass whipping. No way do the Warriors want to meet the Spurs in the playoffs. Harrison Barnes is trash.

The Spurs said **** golden state and their win percentage.

GO SPURS GO!

The Spurs have had 3 distinct phases for this season.

Injuries dominated the first part of the season.
Lackadaisical play dominated the second part of the season.
Playing like they can play finally in the final part of the season.

refs fault.

The Spurs are rising. Nobody wants to face them in the 1st round. Looking at the standings, it could be another matchup with the Grizzlies coming up.
