Won't take it as an indication.
Chicago just can't lose when playing on TNT. They got that weird and mysterious streak going.
Yeah, but their model gave Trump a much higher probability of winning than the models of other websites.
They were wrong, but they were the least wrong of the bunch.

No one expected Durant to improve them more on D than on offense. Without him on D they are ed.
nah...without Bogut illegal screens and Durant in mvp mode, golden state are extremely vulnerable
Can't imagine at this point, the Spurs having a better chance to win the Finals than the Cavs.
To win the le, you first have to get there. And the Cavs, playing in the East, pretty much have a bye to the Finals.
It's a very nice article indeed. However, the Spurs are entering what I believe to be the toughest part of their schedule - between now and the end of the regular season. They have to play vs. OKC twice on the road, Golden State twice, including two days after the Spurs play vs. Cleveland, Memphis twice, Utah twice, Atlanta, Houston, and the Clippers among their other opponents. So, I would be extremely thrilled and surprised if they finished with 63 wins.
This year's Warriors team minus KD is just like last year's team...minus Bogut,Barnes,Ezeli,Rush,Barbosa,and Speights. They had to gut their roster to sign the guy who's now on crutches. Without him, they're compromised.
Well said.

And we all become Knicks fans for a few hours on Sunday.
There's no way the Knicks compete with them.
Still don't see us getting the 1. Schedule is rough
In case people are wondering, The Spurs haven't clinched yet because it's still possible for them to get the short end of a three-way tie among SAS, POR and OKC. Portland would be 4-3 compared to SA's 3-3 and OKC's 3-4. Then after the Blazers get the seventh seed, the Thunder would win based on a 2-1 H2H. As far as I can tell, this is the ONLY scenario under which the Spurs could miss out.
It is so easy in the East. There is not one team in the Eastern Conference that I think could have beaten the Spurs the past 6 years if the Spurs switched places/conferences with Lebron's teams. Lebron gets such and easy run to the finals (while sometimes under performing and making it look harder than it should be), whereas the Western Conference team has to go through a gauntlet most of the time to get there (excluding the 2015 Warriors who also got an easy run due to injuries of all the teams they faced).
Given the brutal, upcoming schedule, I will be thrilled and surprised if they win 60. If they continue to play like the last couple of games, they will be fortunate to win 55 - 8 of the last 22.
Pedal to the metal all the way tbh
Let's wreck these m ers out of the way and get that 1st seed.
Spurs clinch w/ a W tonite or Portland loss.
