Love the choice of pic. Nice to have the magic number drop even after a bad loss.

I'm also keeping an eye on the #8 seed. There are a lot of games left, but right now it's NO @ 7, Memphis @8, and Phoenix just outside the playoffs. I'd rather face NO or the Suns in the first round.
Vinny Del Negro
That's true, but I think Memphis would be a significantly larger problem on the scale.
(More difficult) Memphis........................................... .N.O..........Phoenix (Less difficult)
Something like that.
If the Spurs go 10-8 the rest of the way, it means the Dallas Mavericks have to go 16-2 to tie or 17-1 to overtake us (record-wise) for the #1 seed.
It's a lock at this point. In fact, with Boston's loss, I'd say we are a lock for the #1 overall seed in the playoffs now.
It is pretty tough schedule left, 2x@Rox @Dal, @PTB @Mia @Mem @ATL @LAL @Den. Wow. In that case every home game must be W.
^^^^^^ YOUR RIGHT, that is a horrible schedule there. We could lose quite a few of those there, hope not but we could.
The Spurs are a lock for HCA throughout the playoffs.
Their only serious interest/hope left is that Dallas beats out LAL for the 2nd spot
Everyone is hanging on to every game for the spurs to get the number 1 seed like that is some ticket to the finals and it won't even matter in the end. Its all a waste of time to hang onto to every game like it will matter. But let the fools follow. When everything is all said and done the only thing that accomplishes is it makes the Spurs draft last.
The Spurs will not get far enough to get a game 7 in the western conference finals.
The roster is not built to endure a tough team with size in a 7 game series.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but even if Dallas finishes #2 and LA #3, doesnt LA get HCA over the mavs if they were to meet in the 2nd round since they won their division???
Nope. The three division winners are guaranteed top 4 seeds, but homecourt is always determined by record. If New Orleans somehow gets a better record than OKC, the Hornets would still be the #5 seed, but would have HCA in their matchup with OKC in the first round.
If the playoffs started today, and both the Mavs and Lakers advanced to the second round, they would play each other and the Mavs would have HCA.
This was implemented due to 2006, when the Spurs and Mavs met in the 2nd round, despite having the two best records in the conference. Back then, the division winners were guaranteed the top 3 seeds, relegating the Mavs to #4.
