Re: magic number is six wins

so this is assuming the Lakers win their final 11 games? Meaning they went 16-0 to end the season.....right.....

I think they go 9-2 or maybe 10-1 to end the year giving the Spurs enough leeway to drop some games before the season is over...

IMO the Lakers vs. Spurs game might decide it all.

That game is going to be meaningless. By that time we'll have shit on lockdown and our main guys will be resting.

Re: magic number is six wins

The next two games are pivotal for the Spurs, imo. If they drop both roadies and LAL beats LAC and NOH, then it's a 4 game lead with 9 to play. If would take an epic choke-job for the Spurs to lose their grip on the #1 seed, so I don't see that happening...but nevertheless, it will put pressure on SA to play out the regular season w/o much rest to their key players--as they originally anticipated. I wouldn't count on the Lakers losing more than 2 games down the stretch, especially considering that they want to finish ahead of the Bulls and Celtics for HCA.

Spurs will finish with the first seed...the only question is how much energy will they have to expend to get there?

We'll drop the next game against POR but i think we win @ Mem and against Portland at home, i think we split the BOS/HOU b2b giving us a 3-3 record without Timmy. Schedule gets a bit easier after that so we should have it locked up by the Laker game, plenty of rest before the playoffs...

I see the Memphis game being harder, tbh. Memphis has played some good ball w/o Rudy Gay...including a close loss at SA followed by a blowout win against them in Memphis. They also had an impressive win in Boston last night, so they're no joke. W/o Tim, Z-Bo will go off.

Re: magic number is six wins

Help by those who know:

If SAS and LAL finish 2 and 2 the next with the same record tiebreaker is? They both should or have already won division barring a total SAS collapse.

Spurs right now with 5 more conference wins 35 and 8, LAL is 30 and 11 is that not the next tie breaker the conference winning %; as they are not in the same division?

Or does it mean comparative records even though in different divisions?
http://www.nba.com/standings/team_re...w_Std_Cnf.html
TIEBREAKER BASIS:
(-) Tie breaker not needed (better overall winning percentage)
(1) Division leader wins tie from team not leading a division
(2) Head-to-head won-lost percentage
(3) Division won-lost percentage
(4) Conference won-lost percentage
(5) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, own conference
(6) W-L Percentage vs. Playoff teams, other conference
(7) Net Points, all games

Re: magic number is six wins

Phoenix might be out of the race for the #8 spot by the time we play them the next two times, so they might really don't have as much incentive to give it all... We should be able to beat Portland, Sacramento and Utah at home... with POR being the more questionable.
Boston is in a slump right now, so that one should also be accessible since we play at home. Rockets and Atlanta on the road can be overcome also.

best case 8-3... I think we can pull out a 6-5...

This pretty much sums it up. The goal was to secure it quickly so we weren't going balls to the walls up to the last game of the regular season. I don't see us losing it 1 seed even if we do drop the next 2 games but it would put a lot more pressure on this team that we don't really need at this point.

All in all people can bitch all they want but we are 6 games ahead of the 2 seed with 11 games left in the regular season. If you would have told me this in the beginning of the season, I would have called you crazy.

Re: magic number is six wins

Did Lakers played all their games and win all of them?

They were about to lose against Portladn and barely beat Phoenix(both at home) Clippers can beat them on Friday, they can lose a couple games in their remaining schedule:
Fri 25 vs LA Clippers
Sun 27 vs New Orleans
Thu 31 vs Dallas - Though game
Fri 01 @ Utah - Though game
Sun 03 vs Denver -Though game
Tue 05 vs Utah
Wed 06 @ Golden State
Fri 08 @ Portland -Though game
Sun 10 vs Oklahoma City -Though game
Tue 12 vs San Antonio -Though game
Wed 13 @ Sacramento

They will play at least 6 though games and the rival Clippers and New Orleans games are also in the other package. I don't think that Lakers can win more then 8 in their remaining 11. And in this case, 3 wins will be enough for us.

The blowout win is exactly why we have a good chance in that game. Retribution and a chip on the Spurs shoulders.

Z-Bo goes off against us even if Tim plays.

MEM is obviously tough and we got our asses handed to us there a couple weeks ago but we havent won in POR since 2008 i believe. Laker fans know how tought it is to win in the Rose Garden during the regular season. I just like our chances in Mem better than in POR.

Spurs are a .500 team even without Tim so i dont really think the 1 seed is in danger. And its not like other top teams like the Lakers/Mavs won't be in a dogfight for seeding this last month as well....

I agree that SAS has it on lockdown, I just think they might have to work a little harder for it than originally anticipated.

Not going to happen. They'll finish 9-2 or 8-3 imo. Lakers haven't had a double-digit win streak in YEARS, and they play only 2 sub-500 teams the rest of the way iirc

Re: magic number is six wins

People honestly don't think we can get the #1 seed with a magic number of 5? That includes Laker losses, remember.

Even without TD the Spurs can't regress that badly.
