Spurs are 2011 Southwest Division Champions!

Mav/Laker fan: Okay, congratulations on your divisional championship. So when is the riverwalk parade for the divisional championship?

World Championships are obviously what everyone wants but upteen division les are still cool and the years displayed in the rafters speaks volumes about how this teams has remained compe ive for that long. Cept for maybe spoiling fans.

We treat these things as being pretty insignificant, but to a lot of franchises -- even some of the old line clubs -- winning a division le would be a pretty big deal. Since the merger, the Spurs have won the division le 17 times in 35 seasons. In that span, only the Lakers have won more (18); and only Boston (15) is even close to SA and LAL.

Division les Since Merger
18 -- LAL
17 -- SA
15 -- BOS
9 -- DET
8 -- MIL, UTH
7 -- CHI, MIA, SEA/OKC
6 -- DEN, PNX
5 -- ORL, PHIL
4 -- HOU, IND, NJ, PRT
3 -- ATL, DAL, NYK, SAC
2 -- CLE
1 -- MIN, HORNETS, TOR, WAS
NONE -- GST, LAC, MEM

Thank you. I think this is pretty freakin awesome in itself.

And The Mavericks have three to go with their run of 50 win seasons. Plus none of the big trophies. This is how it's done Cuban you dumb little jackass.

Go Spurs Go! Normally I'm not impressed with this achievment. This year I am. Moving on now.

I was hoping for just another 50 win season, instead the Spurs give me this year. As a fan, I could not ask for more out of the regular season.

[Seventyniner]

Right now, the Southwest division is guaranteed to have every team at least .500, and if the Rockets win one more, every team will be above .500 for the season. Has that ever happened before? Insane.

Then again, playing in the toughest division isn't all it's cracked up to be. The Lakers, for example, will have played 18 games against the Southwest division by the end of the season, compared to the Spurs' 16.
