We're now the 8th seed.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Scary that I'd be this happy for the Spurs to merely be an 8th seed, but considering the cir stances I'm really liking the way the defense is coming along lately.

Hopefully the Spurs have enough in the tank to steal one from the Clippers.

Duncan with another hook shot in the lane to give us the lead!

[Obstructed_View]

I'd say they have no excuse not to beat the Clippers at this point.

[ducks]

I want to face the lakers in the first round

spurs would be more healthy and rested to take them on

Fatigue...

yeah, who is gonna guard all of their bigs Ducks? The Lakers would sweep the Spurs.

We are only 1 1/2 games out of the #3 seed

[ducks]

duncan would guard the bigs
ever heard of him

[Obstructed_View]

Fatigue...

They've won one game and they're far and away the worst defense in the NBA. The Spurs have no excuse to blow the opportunity. When you're short handed like they are, you absolutely have to beat the teams you are supposed to beat, simply because there are so few of them.

I'd love to see the Spurs get the Lakers in the first round.

[timvp]

I don't care about seeding at this point but the fact that the Spurs are actually near .500 is a great sign.

[Cry Havoc]

What big? Gasol? If only he played like a big. Bynum? Uh... what exactly has he done? Odom? Not really a big, but yeah, he could give us some problems... except he doesn't start and our new players should be able to stay with him.

Who do the Lakers have to guard TP and a healthy Manu?

[MrChug]

Sad to celebrate but it...WHOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[VaSpursFan]

werd...we need to just tread water until TP and Manu returns. i gotta say, it's sweet getting these tough wins.

[Manufan909]

YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get that 7th seed, Spurs!!!

[sexinthatsx]

I agree, since we've been getting wins by 2-3 points every game, it'll make us that much clutcher in late 4th quarter scenarios

[NewJerSpur]

Anyone hear that? Shhhhh, listen.....that was the sound of the NBA's collective cold sweat breakage hitting the ground.

[DMX7]

Sad to celebrate but it...WHOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, it's come to this. From nothing but back to back championships is acceptable to lets make the playoffs.

[T Park]

This team is going to be very very very good when they get to 100%.

Mahinmi, Ginobili, Parker added into the current mix?

Scary good.

[Avitus1]

8 seed never looked so good.

[Joe Schmoogins]

not only are we the eighth seed... BUT if the playoffs started today, we'd be the eighth seed, play the Lakers in the first round, AND as someone else pointed out, we'd retain our draft pick as it would be a lottery pick due to the fact that we have a worse record than the EC 8 seed... I'm with ducks on this and I'd love to play the lakers in the first round. we'd be well rested, and primed for an upset. If we are going to win the chip we're gonna have to play them at some point so it might as well be in round one. perfect situation imo.

[SenorSpur]

Way too early to be concerned with playoff seedings.

[Joe Schmoogins]

true but it's fun to speculate

[Manufan909]

Party pooper.

It would be nice to eliminate the Lakers in the first round and destroy their dream season. That would be the ultimate payback to them espescially for the .4 bs.
