    If the Spurs have home court advantage, yes.

    If not, play to win.

    It's too soon to tank a game while teams like Boston are still relatively close to Spurs.

    Saying that, Mavs keeping the 2nd seed is a better scenario for Spurs than Lakers having the 2nd seed. If Spurs lose against Dallas, helping Mavs to keep that spot will be a silver lining of the loss.

    Don't tank, but like Bruno said a loss has its upside too.

    Win/win for the Spurs really.

    I haven't read through these replies yet but NO !!! Never tank games to Dallas. Unfortunately, we won't be able to send them away packing in the playoffs because they aren't getting by the Lakers (HCA or not) but we can at least beat them in a regular season game.

    No telling what Pop might do though.

    OP, winning teams don't tank for any reason.

    Yeah, it's time we started laying down statement games with regularity.

    yup I was half serious when I meant tank.

    I actually meant not take it as a must win, cause it's also good that mavs win.

    We don't know who we gonna face. But IMO Lakers away would make for a longer Dallas vs. Lakers series and a longer series would tire both teams. That is why...

    If you're really entertaining the idea that the Spurs should tank against the Mavs (in order to help them secure the 2-seed), then your fear of the Lakers is duly noted.

    Mavs don't need any help against the Spurs if they are healthy.

    Unfortunately, both Mavs and Spurs need help against a healthy Laker team.

    The Spurs are going at least 6 with OKC so how much rest do you think they'll get?

    Besides, the Lakers are 11-2 (something along those lines) on B2B's and are playing great basketball in the 2nd half of the season--when tired legs usually start to show.


    The Lakers can beat the Mavs 4-3 or 4-0, won't change the fact that SA doesn't have the horses to handle LA in the paint for a lengthy series.
