Eh...nothing is for sure until the final day of the season. The Spurs will most likely end up 6th, 7th, or 8th. For all we know Dallas may not even have anything to play for on the last day of the season...opening the door for the Spurs. The Blazers still have games @ LA, vs. OKC on a back to back, and then at home against Golden State. OKC still has @Golden State, at home vs. the Blazers on a back to back, and at home against Memphis. Anything can still happen...

That's what I've been saying. It seems we control our own destiny, since OKC and POR will play each other, forcing a loss out of 1 of them. If we beat DEN and MIN, this would mean POR going behind a game with a loss to OKC, or OKC tying us with a loss to POR. Both scenarios = spurs 7th. By then, Dallas may have secured their seed and may rest their players. The Spurs would likely beat a weakened Dallas team, giving us 6th or 7th. Since a win to Minnesota is almost guaranteed, it all depends on tonights game with Denver.

I hope you're right, but Dallas doesn't have a history of valuing seeding over beating division rivals.

Best chance of beating the Lakers is the 1st round. Sure the Spurs would get better as the playoffs go along, but so would the Lakers. Make no mistake, the Lakers will hate having to face the Spurs in the opening round. Let's get it on!

I have a feeling that Dallas will still be playing for that 2nd seed when they play us which would make this Denver game even that more important. The Nuggets and Jazz both own the tie-breaker with Dallas so the the Mavs might desperately still need that last game of the season.
