Apparently not all do. They want the absolute toughest path to the finals because apparently it adds at least an inch to your e-penis.C'mon thispego. Don't we all want an easy path to cloud nine?
I know that it's risky to do it now but my point is we have the next 2 games against a potential first round opponent which we would really like to face them in the PO and we have a game against Lakers too. I guess tanking the last 2 games won't affect the seedings at all assuming we already clinched number 1 or in terms of who we face in the first round,.

This100%Duncan with the scared thread
Play for the best seed, whoever we play, we play. This team is too talented to tank or try to manipulate the seedings. Don't play scared lil bro
You keep expecting everyone to run through life scared like you, TJastal. Not doing that doesn't make you someone seeking a streched e-penis, it makes you alive.
This team gots my e-penis rock solid right now though to be honest. I'm packin some serious heat these days
Well sure, but which championship was more satisfying? 2005 (toughest opponents ever) or 2007 (weakest opponents ever lol jazz and cavs wcf and finals opponents)? Both 'ships mean the same but 2005 was much sweeterC'mon thispego
we'll tank the Phx and GS games, which are winnable anyways without Tim/Manu.
other than that i see some rest days on winnable games a la last week when Pop sit out guys one at a time.
Pretty hard to tank games with as much depth as they have, tbh.
I wouldn't discount the possibility that Memphis finds its way into the 3rd seed. They're 2 back of LA in the loss column and the Lakers hold the tiebreaker. But Memphis has a pretty favorable schedule (opponent-wise) the rest of the way -- of their remaining 12, they have: 8 at home; of their 4 road games, 3 are at New Orleans, Charlotte, and Minnesota (the other is at SA); they have 8 home games, but only play 1 team (Orlando) that has a winning record on the road.
By contrast, the Lakers have 6 of their last 10 on the road and their 4 home games are mostly against teams that are pretty good on the road -- Denver, SA, Oklahoma City, and the Dallas Enigmas.
I just hope the Spurs only have to beat one of okc/lakes/grizz pref in the wcf
I don't want to see Houston in the first round. That team has given us all kinds of problems this year.
I still find the Lakers overrated (of course I'll have a better assessment when they play the Spurs), Gasol has regressed, Bynum has scored well but will derail the team with his antics, so Kobe would have to try the hero-ball approach, which we all know doesn't work. Plus, they might have the worst bench out of any of the current 8 playoff teams.
The Clips don't impress me. They're a collection of high athleticism, low bball IQ players. Spurs have beaten them 2 out of 3 times, and the one Clips win was without TP and needed 33 from Mo friggin Williams.
Except for the one loss in OKC, the Spurs appear to have the Thunder's number.
The Mavs just don't seem to have it this year. Even with West back they're still losing to teams they shouldn't be losing to (e.g. an ALWAYS depleted Blazers team).
The Nuggets could also present a problem for the Spurs. They have a lot of athletes like the Clippers but Coach Karl has them playing some smart basketball. If they get healthy entering the playoffs they would be a very tough out.
Finally, the Grizzlies. Not having Arthur, Battier, or Vasquez will be difference makers. The Gasol/Randolph combo will still be tough to defend but with the Spurs depth this year I like the Spurs chances much better this year.
it would be fantastic the thunder, lakers, and grizzlies were in the same half of the bracket.
this is the best scenario imo:
#1 spurs
#2 thunder
#3 lakers
#4 clippers
#5 nuggets
#6 grizzlies
#7 mavericks
#8 rockets
Why are so many afraid of Lakers? After watching the Rockettes kicking their butts last night, I dont see them being as much a factor as some make them. The only team I have a problem with is the Clippers, with the darling pussy Blake Griffin and all the free calls he gets. I think he would find life a little less enjoyable once SJax gets a clean shot at him.
Should spurs tank the two upcoming games against the jazz and the THREE.games we play d
Versus the Suns? By doing so we could potentially dethrone the reigning champs without actually playing them

Mavs lose again. They are currently in the 8 spot now
Interestinggg
I now definitely think the Spurs should tank one, if not both, games against the Jazz to help push the Mavs closer to the 9th spot. Mavs have Sacramento and Golden State next so Spurs tanking the Jazz games would keep the Jazz hot on the Mavs' tails.
Memphis could end 3rd. Today the Clippers could be tie with the Lakers... Standings can change a lot in the west.
And honestly there is no team to avoid this year. It's not like the Lakers were strong as . We should be ready to beat all the teams. We are better than last year where we had the 1st seed but we didn't expect to win. This year we seem to be as good as best teams. Nobody is gonna tank to face us.
Let's go to grab the 1st seed and let's see what happens
Grizzlies are surging at the right time.
Nobody's tanking in the west this year unless its the last week of the season
