    Looking at our schedule, the Lakers, and Bulls, what are the realistic senarios needed to get HCA wrapped up?

    What's the magic number?

    magic number is 2 to clinch the #2 seed and the division and 5 to clinch the #1 seed in the west.

    If we win the next 3 games and the Lakers lose 2 out of the next 5 then the Spurs clinch before the matchup in LA on April 12. That would be the perfect scenario. Lakers still play Denver, OKC and Portland before us so if they could drop 2 out of those 3 then we will be sitting pretty.

    Chicago still plays BOS, ORL and NY.

    Magic number to beat Lakers/Chicago is currently 5 with 5 games left (not counting tiebreakers).

    suddenly, the Spurs winning 3 out of 5 looks a little daunting!

    but if they keep it up the way they played today, i'll take my chances.

    Yes. I believe. Since we have the tie-breaker over them as well.

    correction to my previous post. 1 to clinch the #2 seed and the division.

    For one night I will be a blazers fan.

    We can wrap it up without beating LA if they lose to either DEN or OKC, and we win the next three and the last one vs PHO. Judging by the horrible calls an no calls in the Denver game (phantom rim touch, re awarded to LAL, Fisher arm chuck and three pointer no offensive foul call) we're going to have to beat LA to get the West. Good luck with that.

    Need to win every game, including and especially at LA. Confidence will be shattered if Spurs get rolled and toyed with by LA again.

    So righteous to see Spurs Fan all delicate & stoic. Compartmentalizing everything.

    You're all so adorable at 1 & 6.

    We'll probably win the next three. It might be a mercy if we dropped one. We'd be out of the #1 race and Pop could then sit Tim and rehab that ankle. As it is, it's like peeling a scab slowly: we have almost no chance, but Pop won't sit people until we are out of it, and that may not be until after game #81.

    What sucks is that the Spurs lost at least 3 games they should have won. HCA should be clinched already, or damn close to it.

    If we win every game but the Lakers one and they lose once, will we get it?

    If the Lakers win out, and we only lose to LA, they have the tiebreaker, correct?

    Spurs need to clinch before the LA game. That way we can start resting and give our guys a whole 7 days of before the start of the playoffs.
