That would be nice. And we get to see KG's cryin' ass on the last day of the season. His tears will be so sweet
Is there any doubt?
We lose to Dallas and go on an insane 3 game win streak.
All this Jazz loss did was re-light the fire.

doubt? yes. The Grizz are fighting to retain and clinch 8th playoff seed. Pop could tank the rest of the season.
"re-light the fire"
The has been lighted a few times now, and it keeps going out.
0-3 R/T, including losing to the ing Knicks,
fire re-lit and then fire-fully beat Sonics + Houston.
fire goes out, embarrassed @DEN
fire still out, embarrassed @DAL
fire re-lit and
two flamingly magnificent 20T B2B wins,
fire goes out,
lose to an injured .321 lottery team that is even well below .500 on their own court.
Spurs just cannot keep the fire lit and momentum going. But perfect Spurs seanon-ending momentum last season meant all, so maybe the Spurs not having any momentum, anti-SPAM, will work better this year.
And I really think Pop could tank the last 3 games to rest for the playoffs.
That reminds me of a really f*cked up Southpark episode.That would be nice. And we get to see KG's cryin' ass on the last day of the season. His tears will be so sweet
Primary goals for the rest of the season:
1. Get Duncan back in the groove.
2. Rest and heal the guys that have carried the load with Duncan and Brown out.
3. Give Barry and Robinson a ton of shots to see if they can find their groove.
4. Give Beno a chance to earn a playoff roster spot.
5. Give Nazr time to get a feel for the Spurs defense.
6. Maybe win a game or two.
Agreed with your first point. Spurs winning gazillion in a row didn't help last year.
But I don't think Pop will tank the rest of the season. I don't think the Spurs will let him. Duncan was fired up. The rest of the Spurs should be too.
Even if the last game vs the T-wolves "doesn't matter" to the standings, it will still matter to the Spurs.
And Tim has rested enough! That's my take, and I'm sticking with it.
The Spurs will sweep only if the coach is stupid. Why in the world was Manu in the game in the 4th quarter last night? One meaningless drive to the hoop to get hammered could end his season. He should be used very sparingly this next week. Horry has played way too much lately and should also rest. Who cares about the next three games?
Not arguing 'bout that. I totally agree we need to rest Manu and Tony a little, maybe even Horry.
BUT, this is the team that beat the Warriors without Tim, Rasho, Manu or Devin! That's my point. Pop can play all the mind games and rest all the people we want, the Spurs will still find a way to win.
It's the eternal optimist in me.
BTW, I also agree the standings don't matter, and I could care less if we actually win or not as long as we stay healthy. I was just making a prediction...
We need to win every single game to get one seed. I guess Pop doesn't stress this advantage enough to the team or the team is just to full of themselves to think they need the number 1 seed. I'd go with choice A. Last night was a lack of effort; guys probably figured they could because they were getting their superstar back. I don't get why such a veteran team could act so young all the time. But hopefully they will bounce back and beat Memphis twice(which IMO, that's gonna be as hard as hek).
im so ing sick of house prediction threads...
and ffs they dont gold, they can and will lose occasionly.
Thing is, we could win every game and STILL not get number 1 seed.
Why do we need Homecourt against the Suns? Is it that important? We've got homecourt against everyone else...
'sides, getting homecourt guarantees you nothing...
^well assuming Phoenix loses two.(its possible thats for sure.)
I'd prefer homecourt, although I think we could steal one on the road if we didn't.
I have to completely agree with your list
SPURS go 1 and 2 the rest of season,if wolves are out of playoff picture SPURS go 2 and 1.
HCA vs Suns is so remote now, it's not worth chasing.
In the EC, Spurs have HCA vs everybody, but are tied at 21 L's with Heat. Spurs have tie-breaker.
We really don't want to start a Finals with 2 games in Miami, having gotten beat there already.
Starting today, Heat have 5 games in 6 days, two B2B's, one of those on the road. With Shaq rested from being out "sick", I expect Stan to play these last five games pretty seriously. Heat probably can't get Finals HCA vs Suns, but they can vs Spurs.
It was nice to see those quick double teams comming at Tim again, that should give "Big Dog" and Bret the shots they need and the team a rythm they havent had. I think having the 2 seed is just fine, everyone is on the Suns jock right now so it would be nice for the Spurs to be the "underdog" and rip the heart out of the Suns, assuming they make it to the WCF.
I'm not used to my boys not being the underdogs!!
Being the underdogs is more sweeter, as our guys shut all those critics' mouths up when they hold up that trophy for the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th time.. I can go on, ya know.. that's how much confidence I have in this squad.
What makes anybody think we are gonna beat Memphis back-to-back?
What makes you think we won't?
That is the question...
Grizz will be fighting to retain 8th seed, Spurs will be twiddling their thumbs waiting for the playoffs.
Are you aware of Memphis having our number for the last couple of seasons?
Are you aware of our sweeping of them?
Are you aware Phoenix had our number in 2003 and we still won the series with heart?
I am aware of Grizz 0 - 4 vs Spurs in 2004 playoffs
After last night's loss, the rest of the season doesn't matter to Pop, imo.
