8 seed

[TimmyBuckets]

Embarrassing tbh

[TimmyBuckets]

Hopefully Houston and Jazz both lose, but fat chance Minnie beats Utah today. Looks like we dropping to 7th.

[Duncan87]

Back up to Six tomorrow with win on pelicans and wizards at home

[ace3g]

Houston we (might) have a problem - only a 2 point game now vs Raptors.

No LMA or DDR tonight. Spurs will be out of the playoff picture after they lose in NO.

#5 seed at the close of January not bad, only team to fear in West are the Dubs, Spurs can beat any of the other West playoff contenders.

[Indianman]

With the way the Rockettes are playing rn, we have a shot at being the 5 seed for about 5 more games. Hope D'Antonis team loses a few.

Aren’t you guaranteed a top 4 seed if you win your division? So even if Portland finishes with a better record and they are slotted in the 4 seed, we still get it?

I agree with this. Nuggets, Blazers, Thunder, Rockets are all beatable by the Spurs. The Spurs just have growing pains with so many new players.

I'd have us at 50-50 odds against the Nuggets,i'd give the slight edge by 60-40 to Rockets and Thunder (but definitely beatable,6 or 7 games series) and i'd have us 70-30 favs against the Blazers (LMA would eat his former team's frontline alive and play with a chip on his shoulder-i have the outmost confidence in White defending Lillard)

Those are predictions with current rosters of course and without possible injuries for each team.

If Spurs fall outside the bracket of GSW, they've got a chance to make the Western Conference finals.

If we don’t get the 3rd seed then it’s better if we drop to 6th or 7th..most probably the warriors will get the top seed

Too tight a conference to be able to control this.

[skin27]

It can be controlled in the later part of the season..

[GusT15]

We can control this later part of the regular season

Nah dude,history of the last 4 years seeding shows we cannot control it.

It always comes does down to the last game of the regular season.

I'm just happy we don't have to play the Pelicans again in the last game of the season in New Orleans cause the last 2 times we had to do that it ed up our seeding in 2015 and 2018.

It took the last memorable playoff series of Timmy D to push the Clips to 7 games in a terrible match up fight for the Spurs and then 2018,goes without saying it send us straight to the Warriors to lose in 5.

Regular season seeding owes us a "regular" first round opponent this year.

we can control it..just like you said that loss to pelicans is our fault..if we treat that game as important as playoff series and win that game then we should had gotten the 2nd seed..

Oh definitely we can control it Win wise,but the way the argument was constructed i thought you said we can control it LOSE wise,meaning we'd drop a couple of games to go from 5 to 7 for example.

And i meant we can't control it like that,cause then another team would drop their game to get the more favorable bracket.

So all in all,you do what you can in the regular season and hope you fall in a bracket that doesn't have you in a bad situation from the get-go.

we can still control it in losing purpose..it depends on the tiebreak..

the more close the standing the more easier to choose your seed.

Fair enough.If by dropping a game we can seed 7th and get Nuggets instead of the Warriors later on,no matter what other teams do,then yes,you do it.

This reminds me of the Olympic games of 2004,i was screaming from the top of my lungs for Greece to lose their last game in the group stage to avoid Argentina in the knockouts.I knew what Manu was all about back then.Greece won,we got Manu,he knocked us the out from the Olympics.

I had the "Mother ers i told you so" look on my face for the next month every time i was talking basketball.

sometimes control it sometimes you can’t..

but the more the closer the standing is the more you can control it..it depends on the tiebreaker
