The other thread with almost the same le wasn't sufficient enough?
The loss tonight ended any chance of catching the Warriors for the top seed, unless Curry and Klay both break legs. That at least clears up the way the rest of the season will get handled.
The Spurs knew they pretty much had to go undefeated to end the season anyway, to have a reasonable chance of passing Golden State. Now the pressure for that is off, and they can afford to rest some guys. Could turn out to be for the best. No loss is ever a good loss, but this one probably relieved the Spurs from trying to do something that couldn't be done anyway.
The good news from tonight is that Timmy had his best game in quite a while. The bad news is that Kawhi, Danny, and Boris were a combined 6-26 - and a good part of that was the Charlotte defense. The Spurs need to use it as an opportunity to start tuning up for the playoffs, rather than worrying about catching the Dubs.

Without home court, Spurs have no chance for 6.
Took a phone call while I was typing. It wasn't there when I started. But you very much.
Not impossible but very difficult. Probably the most difficult they have faced.
The Spurs were likely going to have to win a game at Golden State, even if they somehow managed the 1 seed. If they go out and steal Game 1, the whole thing flip-flops. Bottom line, nothing much changed tonight except for the clarity of knowing how the regular season comes out.
Warriors have to beat Minnesota still. It's a drag we blew this game. I don't think we've done this all year. my god, that was hard to watch
To have home court, the Spurs needed to win out. The Spurs still have a game at Oakland this season. Meaning to have home court, they had to win in Oakland. If they can win in Oakland, they don't need home court. If they can't win in Oakland they weren't going to have home court anyway. /logic
Yep... I know technically it's not over, but more than likely as far as catching the Warriors. Bad thing for fans and the NBA networks, with really nothing to win, it basically kills all the end of season big games against the Thunder/Warriors.
when did anyone think SA was getting the one seed lol
It's not over. Warriors can lose against Utah and clippers. Man, as soon as we lose, pinche cliff jumping.
Which brings up an interesting point. The NBA in the Silver era has started backloading key games between powerhouse teams to the very last few weeks of the schedule. I read somewhere this is by design because they can get the best ratings coverage when the NFL is done for the year, and there's no March Madness to compete with. The thinking also is you'll effectively get free "playoff" games as these teams clash late in the year to decide the seeding. The problem is more often than not, the top seeds are already decided, and you'll get meaningless games. As this year's final OKC and two final Dub games with the Spurs will be. I'd like to see marquee matchups spread more evening through the season rather than this deliberate backload.
You can tell when the Spurs lose a definitive game -- Pop is nice in the post-game interview.
9 of last 12 GS games are at home
OP, learn math.
OP makes some very good points
yes...I like the idea of spreading them out too. It's going to be sad to attend the late season Spurs/Warriors and see Speights/Rush/Barbosa go against Boban/Miller/Anderson.

Not gonna lie I thought this team had turned a corner after the GSW game. SPAM and all that.
Spurs have been SPAM all season. Time to rest players and get ready for the playoffs. We all know that, barring the most unlikely of cir stances, the WCF is going to be Spurs vs. Warriors for the chance to beat LeBron again in the Finals.
Beating GSW on the road is very difficult, but possible. I remember when we won against Miami on the road in Game 1 of the NBA Finals in 2013. Spurs never trailed in that series until that infamous Game 6 happened.
That's really ty if true.
Wait they went 6-26'....??? But I thought this loss was Kyle's fault!!!
