As long as okc doesn't run the table, 7-3 sounds good
7-3. This should be just good enough to get the top seed, esp. given that Ok should beat us at home with the LOOONG layoff and our b2b. In addition, I predict we match our franchise 17 game win streak by beating NO in San Antonio, but lose the away game to Indiana. The Pacers should get up for that game, and the spurs cant play perfectly forever.
1 NO W
Although NO is playing well, they are missing players and this one is at home. I would not be surprised with a loss, but the Spurs are playing too well to lose to this team.
2 @ Indiana L
Explanation stated above.
3 GS W
We own these guys and we are at home. This is the game the Spurs will try hard to win out of the b2b.
4 @ Ok L
They have 4 days rest and we are away on a b2b. Thanks anyway.
5 Mem W
They are 8-2 and dangerous, but we are at home and, given their dearth of fire power, this should not be too close.
6 @ Min W
Team to respect but they are 5-5 and have no edge now that the playoffs are out of reach.
7 @ Dal W
8 phx W
Not a bad opponent but they don't have the bigs to keep up.
9 @ Hou L
This just makes sense. Away game against a bad matchup. OTOH, they are missing their defensive-minded, starting pg. We will see how they have adjusted to having Lin play a bigger role.
10 Lakers W
They might not even show up.

we will not lose to indiana..
I think we have to go 6-4 at the worst if we want the #1 seed. 7-3 or better would be preferable.
9-1 with the obligatory hack job at oklahoma on a b2b.
Don't sleep on Memphis, Dallas or Phoenix... they're playing for their playoffs lives, and they'll bring it. Hate playing teams like that at this point in the season... but c'est la vie...
Spurs should just relax in the games against Dallas & Phoenix ...giving either of them a chance to snag the No 8 spot. While they could try to score vanity wins against OKC, HOU and IND. Rest of the games, Pop should and would rest up as much as possible. I will be satisfied with 6-4.. but it will most likely be 7-3.
With both OKC and San Antonio having played 72 games and with one head to head meeting (assuming the Spurs lose that game) If the Spurs finish 7-3 then OKC would have to go 10-0 to finish #1.
10-0 than we sweep the first two rounds to break the 33 game win streak set by the Lakers
7-3 =63-19
8-2= 64-19 (breaks franchise record set in 05-06 season)

Maybe I'm the only one who thinks spurs beat okc...
spurs have serious momentum right now, i could easily see them only dropping 2-4 games here on out
I'm with ya.
We are the best team by a long shot. Health is now our biggest enemy.
nope... but I'm not sold Pop going all out on that next game, with the playoffs around the corner and the tiebreaker already decided... that's a game they can drop...
You must have looked at their record before the record updated, or your basic math slipped...
Spurs current record is 56-16. 56+7=63.
True.. I guess I've seen this movie before where one of us says spurs won't win and then San an smokes em. I mean, my logic for my faith in the okc game comes from an irrational hunch haha
Oh I get you... I'm also on the record we can beat them in the playoffs... plus I just voted we're going 10-0...
I can absolutely see the Spurs beating OK, in OK, on the second half of a b2b and after playing 4 games in 5 nights. I just doubt it.
If we DO, then the spurs probably start getting seriously more rest. OK is not catching the Spurs for 1st if we beat them.
Just to make the math clear, if we played OK next game and won, the Spurs record would be 57-16 and OK would have 53-20.
With 9 games left, they only catch us at that point if we go 5-4, giving us a 62 and 20 record, and they run the table. That is simply not going to happen.
We're losing all of em.
I HOPE TO GOD you guys saying by a long shot is the truth! If we are the best team by far we win the le this year barring health. I hope you are right. I somehow think it will not be that easy though.
We won 63 in 05-06 season not the 06-07 season. I think we won 59 games then? 63 our most and we lost to Dallas that year I believe. 62 Wins we lost to Houston, I would settle for 61 wins and #1 seed and a le!
10-0.
don't you do it pop you supers ious bas . let timmy go for it, it may be his last opportunity
rest him as much as you need, but don't you throw a game on us.
probably the latter.
You're right it was 05-06.
in 06-07 we went 58-24 and won the le.
I looked back and saw that season, The Spurs had six 5+ game win streaks (including a streak of 7 and 11 wins)
this season the Spurs have won 6 straight, 11 straight and 16 straight.
I just hope this season does not turn out to be a HIGH win season and then ending in failure as the other two 63 and 62 wins seasons did for the Spurs! Those left a bitter taste in my mouth! 011 team winning 61 did not as I believed they were a fluke team and relied on 3's to win games and little D! I never had faith in that team, the teams afterwards though I felt could win it all.
