Spurs trying to track down the 2/3/4 seed

Clippers winning tonight is the better outcome for us, however, for tonight if this happens we fall down to 5th seed (for one night only if we win tom.).. SA/MEM/LAC will be all tied on 54-26, we lose TB to MEM, MEM also gets TB over LAC as divisional winner, and LAC has TB over SA so would be MEM 2nd, LAC 3rd and SA 5th. On the other hand, MEM wining tonight keeps at 3rd but might reduce our chance of going to 2nd seed eventually.

Better for us to have Memphis to lose tonight and get their 26th loss. Then if they lose again to GS its a bonus.

Don't like the Mavs. They are an upset waiting to happen. But if it will give the Spurs HCA in the second round then I guess it's worth the risk.

Despite what many here think, I'd love to see the Mavs in the 1st round, tbh..

After last year's surprise series, there's no way Pop enters the playoffs without the proper game plan again..if they utilize the same plan as they did late in the series(especially exploiting Dirk on D, which they repeated throughout games 5 to 7), they'll easily beat the Mavs' ty team..

Mavs are worse than last year and wont catch us slumping and sleeping, they will be catching us rolling

Agreed.

It was also kind of a gimmicky thing, kind of like playing off LeBron in 2013. You can usually only catch a team napping once. Even with the weird way they played us on D, it still would have been a 5 game series if they had called a pretty blatant travel on Carter's final shot.

yeah last year was about the spurs not being prepared for Monta. Monta i think isn't as motivated this year and the wingtop has now the antibodies to stop the virus from reappearing.

What happens if the Spurs-Clippers-Rockets finish in a 3-way tie and the Grizzlies end up below them?

Spurs win division over Houston and would be 2nd seed. Then a 2 way tiebreaker will be left over to determine seeds, which the Clippers would win over Houston by virtue of better conference record.

They break the division tie first. Spurs 3-1 over Rockets. Spurs win the division. Then they break the 3-way tie. Spurs win the 3-way as the division winner.

Wet dream bracket right there

Would rather have the Clippers at 5, but seems unlikely, at this point..

I want no part of seeing the rockets again, would be way too physical a series and a long one

[RD2191]

If the Clips lose this.

Who has the tiebreaker in a LA-Houston-Memphis three way tie?

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Who has the tiebreaker in a LA-Houston-Memphis three way tie?

Depends, are we division winners? Then it would be Clippers, Memphis, then Houston

[apalisoc_9]

I really want LA to finish 5th. I want Houston and Memphis playing against each other.

Dallas-Memphis-GSW is ideal for me..IMO.

Yeah that'd be the most ideal situation. Dallas/Memphis series with us having HCA would be pretty easy, and then hopefully LAC could give GS a run for their money and at least make them work for it.

Not sure how likely it is that the Clippers finish 5th though.

Yeah but the scenario for that to happen is way more unlikely. Cant pick our opponents, just play who is in front of us.
