I doubt it. They'll have to most likely win 3 series on the road just in the West alone.

There the hottest team in the West going into the playoffs they are still one of the deepest teams relatively healthy and they still have the best coach.   The Rockets repeated as a 6th seed with a far inferior team in 1995.

They just lost to the Pelicans and the Warriors and Clippers are just as hot as the Spurs. Also, the West is much stronger now than when the Rockets won in 1995. Could they win 3 straight series on the road? Obviously they can, they're the Spurs. I don't believe they will though because the West is too good and a first round matchup against the Clippers is going to be tough.

Well it would have been a whole lot easier if they would have won today and clinched the number 2 seed but still like their chances of winning it all.  If its anybody besides the Spurs making it to the finals out the West then I like the Cavs chances of winning it all.

Well the Spurs did what they needed to do to advance to the next round on the road now they just need to take care of their home court. OKC firing Brooks was a good move but the team also still has a lot of roster issues.

Durant and Westbrook are both probably going to leave, so it'll be really interesting to see who they hire. As for now rumours are suggesting the Thunders are targeting Billy Donovan.

Well he almost left for the pros in 2007 but I think he is happy in Florida now and I don't see him leaving that job anytime soon.

I gotta admit I didn't see the Brooks firing coming. Talk about "what have you done for me lately" jeez. Thunder should be fine though.

Well you got it right they did get Billy Donovan can't really blame him for taking the job pretty much every top level college coach would have taken that job except for coach K.  Much better situation than his first offer from a pro team with Orlando although back then they had a pretty good roster.

I don't think Izzo, Pitino or Calipari would have taken it either. There's just too much uncertainty on what Durant and Westbrook are going to do when their contracts expire. It'll be interesting to see how he runs the offense with two of the top ten players in the league.
