Portland Gonna Drop To The Eight Seed?

[Spurtacular]

Some talk about winning the Portland sweep sweepstakes; but to me it looks like they could struggle without Nurkic and not hold a 4/5 match-up card if the Spurs were even able to jump a few spots with a run. Thoughts?

[ZeusWillJudge]

The Spurs already missed out on the Jimmer Sweepstakes. None of the rest matters.

[R. DeMurre]

The difference between Nurkic's on/off number per 100 poss (+16) and Kanter's (-13) is huge. It's gotta make a big difference.

Even if the opportunity to move up was there you know this team is gonna lose to someone like Cleveland or Dallas in the last week to waste that opportunity away

[monty4329]

do you think POR will lose 9 straight and we win 4 of the next 7?

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs are already 5 losses behind Portland and will likely lose 1-3 more games. No way Portland loses 7 out of the last 9 games

[Texas_Ranger]

there's a bigger chance the Spurs will miss the playoffs than that Portland will be 8th.

I can see the Spurs going 6-1 and still possibly finishing 8th. Ideally, Denver finishes 1st and GSW plays OKC

Not if our Spurs have anything to say about it! They’ve made it apparent it’s their spot and they’ll guard it with everything they have. Don’t even offer them a chance to move up in the standings, they’ll lose just to keep 8th. Maybe they’re pulling a 2011 Memphis....

[SouthTexasRancher]

If we get really lucky there is still a chance that we'll lost the rest of our games and SacTown wins all of theirs. Damn, keeping my fingers crossed that it happens. Let someone else get swept by the arrogant Dubs. This team doesn't deserve to be in the playoffs.

[Arcadian]

no. Is that even possible?

You don't deserve to be a fan

[BackHome]

If all the games we have to play are at home I would give us a shoot but probably loose most away games as usual.

[slick'81]

Sad state of affairs hoping injured teams keep us outta 8th

[Dancelot]

Hoping we stay at 8 to get the higher pick and Denver gets the one seed.

You should be deported tbh.

I don't know if the team deserves it, but the fans deserve a playoff appearance, and the first-round opponent doesn't matter.

And I don't know why everybody is so neurotic about the Warriors. The Spurs aren't expected to win the championship, and people think it makes a difference who they lose to? Silly nonsense.

[DAF86]

Hopefully they stay on 3rd and the Spurs somehow make it to 6th.

How tf is that going to happen? Is the OKC team plane going to crash into the Clippers team plane?

head, if I want your silly opinion I'll ask you for it. Otherwise take that out of your ass and shut the up. We've been season ticket holders for 20 years. I've spent a small fortune for our family and friends to go to the games. We cheer. We boo. We have a blast. We live and die with our Spurs. You probably sit there in your brown stained nylon panties in that rundown trailer up on cinder blocks watching the game while trying to find your teeny tiny little pecker. So off asshole.

[SouthTexasRancher]

This ing guy gets it,

Thanks! Some of these guys on Spurs Talk are so butt hurt because they can't afford a Scanning Electron Microscope so they can find out if they have a pecker.

[SouthTexasRancher]

Well little sissified girlieman if you think you're big enough to do that bring it on. I just don't want you to show up with your boyfriend's in your mouth. Take that ugly thing out of your mouth before I knock you on your ass, Bozo.

What the are you talking about? I'm certainly not neurotic. You must be talking about yourself. I am however, realistic and even if you are not aware of this, the Warriors have one of a team. One of the best teams ever in the NBA. Maybe you should start paying closer attention. There are only two teams that can give them a run for the money this year. The Rockets and the Bucks. Nobody wants to lose to the same team in the first round year after year. You need to get your ass off the crack and the meth and start sniffing the coffee instead. Either that or let somebody hit you upside your empty noggin and knock some sense into you. Have a good day, doofus.

Why? Is it all that important that the spurs win one round? It is more important getting a higher draft pick than winning one round.
