As important as Jimmer is to the Spurs.
Four games left at home; and NOL is potentially the only cream puff. OKC has that chip but they might be resting players. Obviously, GSW has their motivations. And Toronto is playing for a one seed in the east.
March 30 NOL
April 2 Toronto
April 10 GSW
April 12 OKC

I forgot about Toronto. I thought the season series split already. Well that's no good, they're kinda scary.
The last home game is actually Apr 12 vs OKC. Apr 13 vs DAL is on the road.
As important as you are to ST.
Okay, that's actually possibly better.
Well, lets see... they went 37-0 to "start" the season. How feasible was that?
So, yeah, going 4-0 to close is probably next to impossible. If only they had kept Jimmer.
Who gives a ?
We are probably resting tons of guys for at least 2 of those games. Probably vs OKC and Worriers. Nothing to prove there.
Well probably go for the win over NOLA and call it a season.
Sorry my bad. I mean well rest for Toronto, worriers.
Okc being last game of season vs a decent team will be good playoff pra tice
Unless Pop rests Kawhi, Lamarcus, Duncan, Tony, and Manu all at once, 41-0 is easily reachable.
It's not feasible at all if we have to play individuals who would be better in the post season with a rest in a regular season home game.
So we can beat worriers without Kwhi and LMAlph?

Would love it to happen, but the Spurs are going for more important things...![]()
I know the Spurs aren't one of those record-mentality type teams, but 41-0 might never be done. Someone wins a chip every year and the Spurs have already won 5. I would still rather get 6 if it was mutually exclusive with that record, but I don't see it that way, especially since we're so close. I say rest guys the road games, play guys the home games and go for it. Hopefully that's what Pop's doing. We'll see.
Pop's starting to get cute with lineups. If someone doesn't get injured playing extra minutes to fill in for all the sit-outs, it's going to wreck their rhythm going into the playoffs. 41-0 cannot be feased.
Manu said 41-0 isn't important to them; but I don't much believe it, tbh.
Feasible? Very. Meaningful? None.
Pop is the coach version of Chris Paul; brilliant at the game but gets too cute with his moves and it eventually costs the team, and like Chris nothing ever gets said about it. Only Pop has 5 rings.
Yea, an accomplishment that has never been done before is meaningless.
The lies that ST'ers will believe...
Aso long as they don't screw up and sign jimmer it should be a lock
538 has 41-0 at 45%
93% New Orleans
86% Toronto
69% Golden State
82% Oklahoma City
The Charlotte loss ended any notion that the Spurs would keep gunning for the 1 seed. The OKC game tonight is being thrown for rest, and Pop will only continue to rest key players down the stretch. With GS openly admitting they want 73, and Pop letting off the gas, I think they'll go 40-1 at best.
Pop will do everything he can to toss this game tonight. He does not like anything to distract in the playoffs including an undefeated home court season.
