Analysis The Race for Home-Court Advantage - 25/26 Playoffs Seed Tracker

[spursistan]

Huge blow for Suns. Play-in race going to be a dogfight for positioning between PHX, GSW, Clippers and Blazers.. Spurs won't know their prospective first round opponent until the last moment..

Gotta say major kudos to the Suns. They looked completely lost and would be horrible for ages and they pulled it out. Year has already been phenomenal for them.

Dk if there is substance to Ty Lue throwing the game and not Kawhi. Kwa looked like he was ready to continue, no limp, nothing.
What do you think?

Dallas was perfectly built around Luka. Lakers didn’t have the infrastructure yet but couldn’t turn down that deal

the problem is Wizards Jordan 2.0 needs to retire he's holding that team back.

Adam Silver sucks. They should have cut out that covid era play-in crap years ago.

Dubs and Clips making the playoffs tbh.

Go Cavs Go

 

[Fabbs]

What is this years NBA hairbrained scheme for #1 overall seed in the Finals?
Still the 2-3-2 nonsense?

Meanwhile yabu looking solid in Chicago like he would've fit in nicely here

Okc was up 20 in the first half but Cleveland has come all the way back

Okc was up 20 in the first half but Cleveland has come all the way back

They were up 23 at one point. On a random thought I believe it is the last year where somebody compares victor and Chet tbh.. victor was right since the beginning, they are not in the same conversation at all in offense and defense

 

[onechance87]

fake ass contenders in cavs

 

[spurraider21]

Cavs choking this hard against a depleted OKC team…

 

[DAF86]

lol Sochan 4 minutes played.

He should have gone to a tanking team to get minutes, empty stats and fool somebody into a second contract.

 

[DAF86]

Holmgren is an elite role player, not an all-star, tbh. He can't take over a primary offensive role. He's Draymond Green.

 

[ace3g]

Thanks for nothing Cavs

 

[spurraider21]

would have been a monster 3 by Mitchell there but Mobley blowing the wide open look about 30 seconds ago was the big one

 

[100%Duncan]

Another bad day for box score watching

Another bad day for box score watching

Or is it?

Denver just collapsed from 109-109 lmao. Losing to “Podz”

 

[Sugus]

I'm happier that Denver lost than bothered about OKC winning - I'd rather put more distance to secure the #2 seed than hope for OKC to slow down (Morey, you fucking idiot, gifting them yet another valuable young shooter...).

ATL also won though, mixed results tonight

 

[TimmyBuckets]

Portland would be the most ideal first round for us. Warriors would be the worst, unless wolves get 7th.

Tough call between whether Golden State or the Clippers would be worst, assuming Minnesota doesn't drop to 7. I have just accepted any matchup in the west is going to be difficult.

 

[Mugen]

Net positive today even with OKC winning.

Lakers, Nuggets, and Wolves all losing tbh

I don't wanna get too carried away, but really feels like the Spurs are the only team on or close to OKC level/tier (metrics bear that out). It is just the lack of experience that is preventing me from penciling us in WCF (could see Spurs-Hornets '08 type of series where Denver out-veteran us in Game 7 at home even though Spurs look like the slightly better team throughout the series)
