#7-8 ?? Nah...Just 2 games remaining, one in SA against a non-playoff team.
Spurs getting some 4-6 is the most likely scenario.
Typical crybaby. Go away

Why not go for 7th?
A Warriors team minus the head Twinky and Spurs have a shot.
Win against the Kings and the Spurs will have a lot of control over who they play in round 1.
And the only way they beat the Warriors is if Kawhi were back. Jazz, Blazers, Thunder, Pels are all much better matchups than GS or Hou. Minnesota and Denver will not be first round matchups.
Don’t take it too hard. We’ve been beating up those franchises for the most part for the last 20 years.
Its a no lose situation. We lose to the Rockets, who ing cares? We didn't have Leonard. But if we win? Its ing epic. And the Pop D'Antoni edge is nothing to be dimished. Don't get me wrong, I think they'd win 4 out of 5 times but we're playing with house money.
This is a pretty post, TBH.
Been a busy weekend, so just now catching up.
To begin:
The Los Angeles Clippers have been eliminated from playoff contention!
They had that coming after 2015.
As for the Spurs...man, they have been confusing as . In the past 7 days, they have completely discombobulated the 1st-place Rockets, lost two road games against the free-falling Clippers and lottery Lakers, then bounced back for a definitive victory over the Trailblazers who are scrapping for position. It's hard to believe that this team is really that different at home than they are on the road...but I guess that's what happens when you throw together LMA (who has been awesome, but not known for his killer instinct) and a bunch of spare parts.
This should be our updated numbers...without taking into account multi-team ties, because ain't nobody got time for that.
Magic Numbers against teams on the bubble with 2 games left:
Jazz (Utah owns tiebreaker) - 4
Trailblazers (Spurs own tiebreaker) - 3
Pelicans (tiebreaker TBD - NOP leads 2-1) - 3
Thunder (tiebreaker TBD, tied 2-2) - 2
Nuggets (tiebreaker TBD, tied 2-2) - 2
Timberwolves (Spurs own tiebreaker) - 1
With one more win, the Spurs guarantee themselves a playoff spot.
Amazingly, the third seed isn't out of reach...but Spurs need to win their last two games while Jazz lose 2 and Blazers lose 1....so it's pretty unlikely.
Right now, it's looking like we will end up anywhere between 4-7...but there is still business to be taken care of. Just win the game against the Kings, and then let the cards fall where they may.

I would be lost without your seeding & tiebreakers work. Thanks!!Been a busy weekend, so just now catching up.

So if OKC loses against the Heat and the Spurs beat the Kings SA can't finish any lower than sixth even if they lose at New Orleans. Is this correct?
In that case Thunder and Wolves would both be out (as far as the Spurs are concerned), and it would still come down to tiebreaker against Nuggets. I believe the Spurs own that tiebreaker in a H2H tie so yes, that would land them in 6th...but a multiway tie could shake things out different.

100% I'd rather catch the Rockets in the first round before they have a chance to get rolling. Not expecting a championship here but knocking the Rockets out would feel damn good.
Same. Playing spoiler against Rockets or Warriors would make this a successful season.
That loss vs Lakers without Gonzo is gonna haunt us nigas
Spurs will be 7 seed and lose in 5 vs showers
Denver owns the H2H tie-break over the Spurs, which is why SA hasn't already clinched.
OKC does not stack up well with SA in terms of potential multi-team ties -- they'd need to recruit Utah and/or New Orleans, and if NO doesn't beat the Spurs on Wednesday they're not in position to help anybody.
Minny stacks up great in multi-team ties. For example, in a five-way tie with all SA, Utah, OKC and NO, the Wolves would get the fourth seed (then Utah, SA, OKC and NO in that order)
NO is in multi-team ties. If SA loses tonight but wins Wednesday, the Pelicans are pretty much the eighth seed.
Utah controls its own destiny for the third-seed. It might be best to let them get it, as only OKC can beat them in a straight tie-break, and only Minny can beat them in three-way ties that don't involve the Thunder.
So here's what I'd want: SA wins out; Utah wins out; Denver wins out; Minny splits; NO loses out
That should set up this finish
Houston
GS
Utah
SA
Portland
Denver
Minny
OKC
HOU/OKC -- GS/Minn -- Utah/DEN -- SA/POR
All quite possible, but it would have to start tonight.
Thanks Chinook.
There is no way Denver can win out and Minnesota split as they play each other the last game of the season.......
Um... if Minny wins today then loses to Denver, that's a split.
Cheers man.Thanks.
If the Wolves lose any of their remaining games, we clinch...
You are correct, and I need to read better..........
The San Antonio Spurs have clinched a playoff berth!
So, do you think Pop wil try and go for the win in New Orleans. Or does he rest LMA, Manu and some others and give them a good break before the playoffs? Don't put it past him.
I think it would be a a mistake to rest those guys because they're in a nice little rhythm. Especially Gay.
