Spurs can clinch with win today

[InTheCrust]

The Spurs magic number for winning is merely one. Of course we want that number one seed, but it's still remarkable we can clinch this early. Of course, if we were in the East, we would have clinched back in February.

I think Memphis has to lose to Dallas for the Spurs to clinch. They only have 29 losses.

Even if Memphis lose and the spurs win, it wouldn't be enough. The Spurs would have 52 wins and Memphis 30 loss but the tie breaker is not yet sure (2 spurs-memphis games remaining)

And even if it was the case, the suns have only 28 loss... So the spurs would not clinch it yet

cool. let me know when they can clinch the first seed, and maybe it'd matter.

Well if Memphis is eliminated from catching the Spurs, then Phoenix would become the 8th seed. Spurs would clinch at that point.

Only 1 SA/MEM game left; the Spurs won twice in SA and lost once in Memphis.

Four games to the 4th seed is pretty amazing too.

Damn, too bad we didn't clinch today. We'll probably clinch in a week or two I'm guessing.
