Memphis vs LobCity, tomrrow....

[exstatic]

Guys, there isn't even a downside to this. If Memphis wins, we're almost a lock for #3. If the Clippers win, we jump up to #2, by virtue of being division leaders. The second scenario is hazardous, though. If HOU drops another game, we go from winning the 3 way division tie to losing the H2H against Memphis, and would drop back behind wherever the Clippers are, no longer being a division leader.

Even that's not a bad thing. Spurs would end up at #5 with HC against the Blazers.

Houstan has very easy games ahead if they lose its on purpose.

This assumes Memphis doesn't lose to both LA and GS, which is very possible.

[NASpurs]

Both teams are going to go for it but the real problem for Memphis is that they just went to the wire against the Jazz and play a b2b against the Clippers in L.A. Seems like the odds are against them winning tomorrow.

[Malik Hairston]

Memphis will get killed IMO..

Hopefully the Warriors play their guys against them, too..

How would we be in #2 if the Grizz lose tomorrow? We would have the same record, be tied for the H2H, be tied for the division record, and lose the conference tiebreaker. Am I missing something?

It's assuming the Rockets win out..3-way tie means Spurs get the tiebreaker

[RD2191]

I still don't understand how we would win a 3 way tie but not a head to head against the Grizz.:lol

[Mugen]

Go Clippers.

[FlAVaK]

I still don't understand how we would win a 3 way tie but not a head to head against the Grizz.:lol

The 3-way is like this:

5-3 Spurs
4-4 Mem
3-5 Hou

H2H Spurs-Mem is 2-2, Mem owns the tiebreaker
H2H Spurs-Hou is 3-1
H2H Mem-Hou is 2.2

That´s it.

Must also consider H2H vs HOU

[Agloco]

It becomes the aggregate of H2H records of all teams who are tied

[UZER]

I prefer a 3 way with one girl riding, one girl 69ing.

[szkorhetz]

Even that's not a bad thing. Spurs would end up at #5 with HC against the Blazers.
Seems MUCH better than playing against Houston, TBH.

[100%duncan]

The jazz are such faggots tbh. Pulling hard for blake to win tom

[Aztecfan03]

Hopefully the Warriors play their guys against them, too..

Warriors probably dont want the Spurs getting the 5 seed.

EXACTLY. The Warriors have a vested interest in keeping us in the 2-3-6-7 bracket. Since we really can't finish 6th without a total collapse, they need to knock off Memphis.

[TampaDude]

Clips are gonna murder the Grizz.

[Uriel]

Never thought in my life I'd cheer for a Los Angeles-based NBA squad, but...

LET'S GO CLIPPERS!!!!!

[ManuTastic]

Even that's not a bad thing. Spurs would end up at #5 with HC against the Blazers.

Slipping to #5 and having HCA vs. Portland would be the easiest 1st-round series, easier than Rox, but it sets us up for GSW in the 2nd round. I'd rather put off that meeting till later, as I"m sure most of us would. Not saying Rox would be all that tough, especially now that Beverly and D-Mo are out for the season, but Portland would be kind of cake: no Matthews, no bench. Of course the travel would be harder vs. Portland.

[MultiTroll]

^^ I'm leery of RocketRef turning a series.

R2 vs R3 vs Golden State, i don't see an advantage or disadvantage either way.

Ya I'm fine if we end up 5th.

[eDizzle20]

Assuming the Spurs and Clippers both win out, who would have home court considering they would be tied?

[Chinook]

Depends on if the Spurs win the SW.

[z0sa]

We all become Clippers fans tonight.

[Spurish]

Clippers winning tonight is the better outcome for us, however, for tonight if this happens we fall down to 5th seed (for one night only if we win tom.).. SA/MEM/LAC will be all tied on 54-26, we lose TB to MEM, MEM also gets TB over LAC as divisional winner, and LAC has TB over SA so would be MEM 2nd, LAC 3rd and SA 5th. On the other hand, MEM wining tonight keeps at 3rd but might reduce our chance of going to 2nd seed eventually.

Better for us to have Memphis to lose tonight and get their 26th loss. Then if they lose again to GS its a bonus.

[horsielove]

LET'S GO CLIPPERS!!!!!

[SpursFan86]

Conley and Tony Allen both out tonight, + Memphis is on the road and 2nd night of a b2b...would be pretty shocked if the Clippers lose tbh

If Splitter is out for the first round, I would much rather play the Blazers than the Rockets, TBH. Than with a fresh Tiago, I would like our chances against Warriors. If we wanna ring, we have to beat them, so better make it early.

[apalisoc_9]

the spurs will play dallas then LA....

[ViceCity86]

I dont think Clippers losing tonight is a bad thing,if it means they become the 5th seed,with Spurs and Grizz staying afloat for the 2 and 3 seed.
TBH,I think the Warriors and Clippers are only 2 teams with a chance of beating the Spurs in a best of 7.Clippers in the 5 seed would mean Clips/Warriors in 2nd round.Killing 2 birds with one stone.

[spurraider21]

would be hilarious if all this goes to plan, but we lose at home to Phoenix next :lol

I have a feeling that New Orleans is gonna be the trap game but the team will be going all out to get that win so hopefully we can nab it

[ViceCity86]

would be hilarious if all this goes to plan, but we lose at home to Phoenix next :lol
arguably one of the worst losses in Spurs history.If that happen,maybe in reg season history.

[Spurs9]

We lost to the Knicks so anythings possible tbh

[Sean Cagney]

would be hilarious if all this goes to plan, but we lose at home to Phoenix next :lol

Actually it would not be hilarious at all TBH...... I being a Spurs fan would lose it :lol

[SupremeGuy]
