    We have one less loss than Portland, yet portland has clinched playoff berth but not the spurs.

    OKC has 2 less losses than portland and has also not clinched playoff berth. Can someone explain why?

    I'd assume Portland has some type of tiebreak if there is a 4 way tie or something.


    Cause if the Spurs lose their next game they will be tied with Portland. Thunder lose their next two and they are tied with Portland.

    Both have a magic number of one, so big ing deal.

    So all the Spurs need to do to clinch a playoff spot is lose one more game.

    Makes perfect sense to me.
