These next 6 games are all important. The Spurs aren't in the clear just yet, but this win puts them one step closer.
The two previous losses put them two steps back.
Not just in terms of seeding, but also as a morale boost heading into the playoffs?

Nice win against playoff team with best player struggling in second half
Biggest win in franchise history!!!
Doesn't mean anything for morale, but obviously huge for playoff reasons..they already know they can defeat anybody but GS and Houston at home, tbh..the problem is the road, the Spurs become a trainwreck..
Getting the 4 seed with HCA would be a huge accomplishment without Kawhi, far exceeding the expectations of every non-homer..
Not important at all. It isn't gonna help us beat Houston or GS.
Important in the scope of things if we get the seven seed, tbh. playing Portland. We're not playing for first round glory. Be champs who smell blood in the water and take out the Dubs; then maybe Kawhi is even inspired to come back and be ready for battle in the conference finals against the Rockets.
Devastating! They dropped a couple spots in the draft order. They aren't winning a single playoff series without Kawhi. It doesn't matter if they have home court or not. When was the last time this team actually swept its home games against a quality opponent in the postseaon that didn't include the happless injury plagued Memphis Grizzlies?
Very.
But still votedwestbrick
No Bryn Forbes sighting. Also, Davis was impactful in his minutes.
think every game matters at this point for seeding and confidence. Even this late Pop is still playing with rotations. They go as far as LMA takes them but everyone else needs to get their act together too.
It was pretty important for wrecking the Spurs draft positioning.
Not super important in terms of HCA. We play at the Rockettes, Pels, etc in the final stretch. Every game is equally super important now and I don't reasonably expect Spurs to have HCA given their schedule is so much harder than the compe ion's
Thank you Spurs for your badassery! Great win!
Until Kawhi comes back or Pop is gone. I don't give a about the Spurs tbh.
Making the playoffs is big in itself. But if we can avoid GS or HOU in the first round it would be HUGE.
Wrong forum. Wrong topic.
Very important. Gave murray confidence patty confidence pulled out a close win. Got in okc head. Momentum and psyche more important than skill
Obviously the win helps to get "in", but doesn't it all but kill the dream of
Kahwi comes back to lead #7 Spurs vs #2 Golden gots without Curry and *led* by DurPussy?
Sung to the tune of "I'm dreaming of a white Christmass"
"I'm dreaming of a Spurs beatdown"
Considering everything this season...how the are the Spurs in the 4th seed?
Like, what are these other teams even doing?
Man, why do people have to downplay what the Spurs are doing without Kawhi. They're not giving up, they just keep going out there and fighting for wins. If they can just get it together on the road, they'd be a good team even with Kawhi missing from the lineup. They gotta try and win some of their remaining road games heading into the playoffs. It would be a real confidence booster.
It's important for seeding but not that much relevant.
It was a home game in where the two starting guards shot under 30-40%. Spurs need to start winning road games and the guards need to get their together.
4th seed and they decide their own fate. But do we want to be in the same bracket with Houston? Can we catch up Portland? Or tank later to get 7th and face Curry-less Dubs in the 1st round?
This win, - just the fact that LMA suited up and gave it a go - was the best example of his "Season of Redemption". He is forgiven for last year's breakdown against Golden State. Dude has come to play this year, the entire year.
