Your not going to win 3 series in the road. If they lose this game they go from the 2 seed to the 6th seed. Essentially their hopes for reaching the finals go out the window


Sounds like u are over concerned a bit. Ease up a bit. Even if Spurs lose:
- Memphis has a battle vs pacers
- even at 6, Spurs will have an easier 2nd round opponents compared to warriors (yes that includes rockets)
- NOP string together a few good games they can give warriors a good go
- at 5, first round HCA vs Portland who are badly banged up


I'm not just a Bit concerned, but very concerned. I value HC significantly and feel that alone can make/break any teams chances of winning a title. Spurs are a good road team yes, but no one is winning 4 strait series without HCA. It's not gonna happen. Only team to do it is the 95 rockets. And Memphis is very unlikely to lose tonight at home.


Feel for you man. Looks like that's it. The best bet now is to hope Indy wins, so you get Portland with HCA instead of LAC with no HCA throughout.

Considering the massive injuries in the first half of the season, turning the season around is still a big achievement. I would be looking forward to the postseason as much as at that point right after the home and home Houston two games. Nothing really changed. If any one can say 'we don't really care about HCA', that would be Spurs.

Somehow Boston finished this season with 40 wins. Congrats to them. I didn't see it coming at the start. Ainge is not afraid to make moves.

The color commentator is especially bad. Keeps saying 'we' as if he's part of the team. Doesn't really acknowledge anything good by the pels ever, strictly focuses on the Spurs.

Pelicans announcers are so pumped. Can't even blame them. Awesome moment for the team.

I love that the Pelicans were able to pull this off. People were too quick to act as if the Spurs are the east favourites over GSW.

Kind of glad OKC is done. Now I want Jeremy Lamb and Perry Jones on new teams next year. Sick of this ****.

Why doesn't Monty Williams get props for getting this team to the playoffs. Sure as hell Spoelstra wouldn't have coached the Pelicans to the playoffs, so he must be doing something right.

Is that still possible? I think the clippers are now the 2 seed since the spurs lost and will play dallas in the first round
