"At some point OKC also will want to rest players before the POs. "
esp Westbroke and his broken right knee
That OKC game is a scheduled loss tbh. But as I've stated before, Spurs win these next 3 games and they're in good shape. 10 games to go with a 3 game advantage is a pretty decent lead for HCA.

Worse...I knew that. Damn!"(OMG...my english is getting worst)."
use the comparative "worse" than your other English
I agree, but before they play OKC they have to win against DAL (2 times), HOU and PHO. Lets see what happens.
I still think the Thunder end up taking it right at the end. Injuries/minute limitations or not, they're due for a good stretch and the Spurs are due for a poor one, partially due to the schedule and partially due to how they'll navigate such schedule.
Westbrook is already sitting 1st halfs of B2Bs and cannot exceed 32 mpg. I don't think they are going to sit Durant until the final game or two. They don't seem worried about him wearing down, he's playing 38+ mpg.
With 11 games remaining, magic numbers over potential WC playoff teams:
OKC 9
HOU 6
LAC 5
POR 1
we play in OKC in a b2b situation... if the team has it in them to win that game, its pretty much over right there imo

You can stop keeping track of magic numbers for HOU and LAC, seriously
I just notice the following fix:
The Spurs play Saturday, Monday, Wednesday and then Thursday against OKC...meanwhile..
OKC plays Sunday and rest until Thursday.
Good one Stern!
I just wish OKC loses tomorrow so that there's a chance Pop rests all the starters against OKC.
The last YOU Stern from the Spurs.
PLEASE!
no way man. i want to wreck OKC regardless. that team
but it's just a regular season game so who knows what pop will do.

Sean was speculating that if we took care of business Monday and Wednesday, that certain people might not even get on the airplane Wednesday after the game to go to OKC.

I'd be ok with that...getting to 19 and then conceding to the okcheats and the nba's rigged schedule.

Houston unintentionally, intentionally tanking for the 4th seed.
With 9 games remaining, magic numbers over potential WC playoff teams:
OKC 7
HOU 3
LAC 3
5-4 over the last nine games clinches a higher seed over 4 of the 5 teams that can still finish ahead of the Spurs. 5-4 will be enough to clinch over OKC as long as the Thunder don't finish 9-1 or 10-0.
I doubt that the injuries to Howard and Beverly are faked or exaggerated, but looking ahead to the second round would be a bad play for Houston if they find themselves playing the Warriors in Round 1.
Based on this data only, does it implicate that the Spurs are very lucky (7-0 for 3-point-or-less games) and not as good as the record indicates?
