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

[ElNono]

Looks like with these results we can't fall to #5 anymore, tbh.... that kinda sucks, as Portland would be easy pickings...

Alright guys here are the potential scenarios for the last game for everyone.

Current standings:
1). Warriors: 66-15
2). Spurs: 55-26
3). Clippers: 55-26
4). Blazers: 51-30
5). Rockets: 55-26
6). Grizzlies: 54-27
7). Mavericks: 49-32
8). Pelicans: 44-37
9). Thunder: 44-37

Final games:
Spurs @ Pelicans
Clippers @ Suns
Jazz @ Rockets
Pacers @ Grizzlies

Scenario #1:
If Spurs, Clippers, Rockets, Grizzlies all win
- Spurs will be 2nd seed, Clippers will be 3rd, Rockets will be 5th, Grizzlies will be 6th
- This is the most likely scenario

Scenario #2:
If Clippers win, Rockets win, Grizzlies win; Spurs lose
- Rockets will be 2nd seed, Clippers will be 3rd, Grizzlies will be 5th, Spurs will be 6th
- This is the worst case scenario

Scenario #3:
If Spurs win, Rockets win, Clippers win; Grizzlies lose
- Spurs will be 2nd, Clippers will be 3rd, Rockets will be 5th, Grizzlies will be 6th

Scenario #4:
If Spurs win, Rockets win, Grizzlies win; Clippers lose
- Spurs will be 2nd, Rockets will be 3rd, Clippers will be 5th, Grizzlies will be 6th
- This is the best case scenario

Scenario #5:
If Spurs win, Grizzlies win, Clippers win; Rockets lose
- Spurs will be 2nd, Clippers will be 3rd, Grizzlies will be 5th, Rockets will be 6th


I only listed scenarios with only of the teams losing. If more than one team loses, then it can change things up further. But all the Spurs have to do is win, and they are 2nd seed. In the unlikely event that all 4 teams lose, Spurs will still be 2nd seed.

If Spurs lose and Rockets lose, don't the Spurs still get #3 seed?

Clippers win, Rockets win, Spurs lose, Grizz lose = Spurs 5th seed

If Spurs and Rockets lose with the Clippers and Grizzlies winning, then yes you are right the Clippers will be 2nd seed and the Spurs will be 3rd.

[ElNono]

Clippers win, Rockets win, Spurs lose, Grizz lose = Spurs 5th seed

[BillMc]

Clippers win, Rockets win, Spurs lose, Grizz lose = Spurs 5th seed

That's not such a far fetched scenario as the Pelicans and Pacers will be in do or die situations.

[Cloud786]

I added a couple more scenarios to my above post.

I would still rather get the #2 seed, but if push comes to shove, that might be a good fallback

"You see my hat?"

You see our rings Russ?

[Silver&Black]

BTW...I don't ever remember it being this crazy at the end of the year. I love it though....

[SpurPadre]

Just because of that I'm almost hoping Pop starts Bonner, Ayres, and Anderson on Wednesday.

[BillMc]

Okay, Russ, you go ahead and root against the Spurs Wednesday. Hope you get your wish....

I guess the best case scenario to have Westbrook's hopes pissed on, are that the Spurs, Clippers, Rockets lose their next game. Thunder out, and Spurs still get the #2 seed. Could happen.

This got. I hope he gets raped by Magic tonight

All that's missing from that response is for him to put his fingers in the shape of a W and say "What-ever!" One of the most gifted athletes on the planet and he has the mentality of a 12 year old girl. OTOH, that would explain his taste in clothes.

[ElNono]

you're missing at least one more option there: Loss, Win, Win, Loss... that would put the Spurs in #5

[MultiTroll]

If Pels and OKC bags both lose, who gets #8 seed?

Pels

I think the clippers throw their game as they would love to play Portland at 5. I think they would risk it playing Spurs with HCA.

I would love to see a Clippers/Warriors matchup in round 2.
