Playoff Picture Watch

[sananspursfan21]

So I know it’s early, but Spurs are in 7th. We’ve been talking about how much packed the West is all season long. We’re two losses away from being out and two losses behind being in the top 4.

Who’s due for a skid? I’m thinking Clips. They’re overachieving with that roster if you ask me. Maybe Portland? Hate to say it sure won’t be Houston imo

[Fusternino]

My post didn't go through initially . . .

Anyways, OKC has had a fluff schedule so far. So, I would expect them to fall off significantly during the 2nd half of the season.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Also Portland have played way more home games than away and have their own rodeo road trip with 7 or so consecutive away games.

This stretch is brutal :
@ OKC
vs GS
@ Brooklyn
@ 76ers (b2b)
@ Cleveland
@ Boston
@ Toronto
@ Charlotte (b2b)
@ Memphis
vs OKC
vs Phoenix
@ Clippers
@ New Orleans
@ San Antonio (b2b)

I could see Houston struggling to reintegrate CP.

[YGWHI]

Agree on OKC falling. But I would love if they finish #3 and Spurs #6...or vice versa. I wanna face them in playoffs since we match so well against them.

These last two games were close but the Spurs handled so well Russ/PG in both

I guess the best matchups for the Spurs in playoffs are Portland Denver and OKC in that order.

don’t be too over confident in playing Denver..they are good team this year.

so many people think they will fall in the standings but I guess they wont..they will atleast reach the 2nd round

[skin27]

As much aas possible I want the spurs to get the 3rd seed.. it’s doable..

[BackHome]

That would be hard I am thinking 4 to 5 range we should be able to do that a lot depends on teams staying healthy. One major injury can have a team drop from 2 to 8 pretty damn fast.

[HWoodNixon]

Lakers rockets blazers all lose tonight.’good for us

[Robz4000]

Too early to call playoff standings:

1. DEN
2. GS
3. HOU
4. OKC
5. SA
6. POR
7. UTA
8. LAL

[Dingle Barry]

i am sorry dont sent good the game.. tha how can i sent the file excel. Here?
English motherfucker! Do you speak it?

[monty4329]

A bit early, isn't it?
(I watch the standings every day, of course)

Anyway, I guess between a few trades and then the buyout market, we can expect some teams to improve, others to maybe lose a few due to injuries...To me it is still a 14 teams race to the playoffs for at least one more month, then it can somehow get clearer. Standings changing all the way to last game, same as last year.

[John B]

I have higher expectations for this team as of late, granted they are healthy. I hope we get 4th seed and go from there.

[Dex]

So I know it’s early, but Spurs are in 7th. We’ve been talking about how much packed the West is all season long. We’re two losses away from being out and two losses behind being in the top 4.

Who’s due for a skid? I’m thinking Clips. They’re overachieving with that roster if you ask me. Maybe Portland? Hate to say it sure won’t be Houston imo

I was convinced that Houston was going in the tank once CP3 went down, but Harden somehow keeps flopping them into wins.

I agree that Clippers and Blazers are probably due to come back to down to Earth. Lakers are also in trouble if Lebron doesn't come back soon and healthy...all those "young rising stars" they have couldn't even beat the Cavs by themselves.

Also think the Nuggets are due for a skid, but I still think they make the playoffs.

And at home nonetheless. Fuck the Lakers. It's funny I don't see too many Laker trolls on the board this year.

I guess they thought they'd finally put us in their rearview. But we fucking zombies.

[Arcadian]

The Spurs could hypothetically make a push for 3 or 4, but they'll probably choke away several winnable games, resulting in a 6 or 7.

[illusioNtEk]

I'd rather go against the Warriors in the first round so they they don't build that chemistry through the playoffs... also gives us a longer offseason.

[Gordy58]

Houston lose capela for awhile they might take a dip in standings

[Robz4000]

Too early to call playoff standings:

1. DEN
2. GS
3. HOU
4. OKC
5. SA
6. POR
7. UTA
8. LAL

With Capela out 4-6 weeks:

1. DEN
2. GS
3. OKC
4. SA
5. POR
6. HOU
7. UTA
8. LAL

Gives the Spurs their best possible bracket in this scenario.

That's about the best reasonable case right there. That or Spurs at 3 (and POR at 6) with GS and DEN swapping places, but it's basically the same thing.

Like tonight. Welcome home Tony!

[playbonner15]

Lol Spurs might lose this one

[sananspursfan21]

Could have really used last night’s game to stay secure in the standings. Every time our guys have a chance to move up or stay safe, they’ve blown it. Now we’re in a 3 way tie for 8th....or I guess 6th if your glass is half full

[duncan2k5]

But when i call ppl crazy for thinking we can be a top team in the west this year, im the bad guy

[TimmyBuckets]

But when i call ppl crazy for thinking we can be a top team in the west this year, im the bad guy

I don't think it's crazy to think Spurs can be top 4. It's the fact that they're inconsistent that's the issue. Clips are falling, Lakers are fucked w/out Lebron, Rockets are injured, and we have a better record against Portland head to head. Look how close we are to 4th. It really isn't "crazy."

Yes it is. There are at least 6 teams with better talent overall, plus LeBron team if he is healthy. Yes, Rockets are injured... and have a better record already.
DDR who knows what with him, we might have seen the best already, LA can he keep up this level of intensity? Beli will start missing shots, Bryn already has...

6th seed is the ceiling

Probably right, but not a crazy notion.

[DPG21920]

Spurs have smacked most of the top teams around all season

[sananspursfan21]

Spurs have smacked most of the top teams around all season

And there’s something to be said about that for sure. That’s what’s so frustrating about games like last night. They could really make some noise but they’re getting setbacks from some very average/below average teams.

[DPG21920]

Everyone is losing those games. It’s a tight west and no dominant teams. If you watch other teams they are doing the exact same things. Frustrating for sure but that’s the nature of the league.

I’m more concerned with the consistent double digit deficits to start games.

It feels like they're always crawling out of a hole from slow starts.

I’d like to see some more fast starts myself. Or just competitive starts. It’s like the other team gets a 10 point head start nearly every game

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs could have challenged for the 1 seed if DeMar's mental health issues didn't take over, unfortunately..it's only basketball, though, hope he gets better..

[monty4329]

It feels like they're always crawling out of a hole from slow starts.

Because the Starting unit is not that good. Actually, how many worse starting 5 are there in the West? Four?
I don't mean individual players, I mean "unit to start a game". The Second unit, or bench overall, is probably the best in the league right now and usually outscores every other bench quite comfortably.. So here we go, slow start...

True, and I think that has a lot to do with DDR's garbage play. If LMA starts aggressive and DDR plays like his usual self, these starts will be a lot better.

D-Roze has been killing this team with his poor play. I’m definitely not ready to give up on him or say he’s useless or anything but he’s gotta at least show up on the facilitating side of things if his shot isn’t falling. Our guys can live with poor shooting if he’s at least getting others involved but he can’t be disappearing like this

Yes. He's shown he can get a great playmaker. If he can be explosive again and aggressive on the drives, he'll open up the starting unit spacing and get confidence back.

[YGWHI]

don’t be too over confident in playing Denver..they are good team this year.

Playoffs could be a whole different story for this young and inexperienced team. Who knows if they can deal with postseason pressure...We'll see.

[SouthTexasRancher]

Playoffs???? What season in the future are we talking about? This years team could really get embarrASSed in the first round. Golden State Warriors 4 game sweep by a 300 point margin.
