He was always a smart coach, since his Orlando days. Now he has finally a smart executive (Doc was awful). Clips best move was to hire and then move up Lawrence Frank, who was an excellent coach too and is very competent (hence the troubles with idiot Kidd in Brooklin)
Some forget that he has a championship ring as a coach. Sure he had a pretty stacked team, but a lot of coaches have done less with more. And not many have beaten Phil Jackson in a playoff series.
Also this.
Jazz are leading the Knicks @ MSG
8seed could become a reality
Right back down to earth....
I 100% guarantee that if avoiding the Warriors came down to 1 game, the Spurs would get their ing doors blown off just like every other time in the last 5 years...the softest ing team in the league when it comes to must win games.....
After a 4-0 ing from the real Warriors squad, at least you'll get the "it was a successful season anyways" from the PATFO fluffers....
People were saying this team could make the WCF

Watch us get 7th and gst fall to 2nd. Somehow someway were going to get those fckers rnd1
The Spurs should be pretty much cemented into the 8th seed after these upcoming b2b losess against the Rockets and Celtics tbh. Clippers have a cakewalk schedule plus a coach that actually knows how to angle for favorable seeding during the last 10 games of a regular season.
Raptors not helping...
But the Spurs are the only team to suck in the last 2 minutes I thought?
Weird the Raptors didn't even give Leonard the ball for their final 2 plays.
Now...
What's up with the Thunder? They dealing with injuries? Don't really keep up with other teams these days.
Okc in 8 th
They have dealt with injuries,Westbrook's stupidity,their role players coming down to earth,but honestly it's just Paul George not playing at an MVP level for a while now.
Even with a few of the remaining road games, the Spurs will have some advantages with the schedule. @ Celtics, Boston will be traveling back home and the Spurs game is the back end of a B2B. @ Hornets, Charlotte will be playing their 3rd game in 4 nights, like the Spurs with Heat tonight, and the Hornets have been atrocious at home since the All-Star break. @ Nuggets, Denver will be travelling back to Denver from a very important game at GSW and the Spurs game is the back end of a B2B for both teams. The Spurs game before the Nuggets is hosting the Hawks. The @ Wizards and @ Cavs, the Spurs will need to gut out wins in both of those games. The only remaining games at Home are against Cavs, Kings, Hawks, and Mavs. Kings and Mavs look like the only threats left, and for the Kings and Mavs, the Spurs game will be their 3rd game in 4 nights and the Spurs were also the Kings and Mavs back end of a B2B. The Mavs game is especially brutal for Dallas because the Spurs will have two days rest before the game. The three main games left on the Spurs schedule are road games against the Rockets, Celtics, and Nuggets. But, only the Rockets game will see the Spurs at any disadvantage. However the Rockets are traveling back to Houston after an overtime loss to Memphis. The Spurs have a great opportunity with the remaining games, even the road games, to clinch a 4th or 5th seed. There are 10 games left and 2.5 games out of 4th seed. Anything can happen.
Why the haven't the Clippers fallen off a cliff? Ridiculous.
You miss spacing, like the Spurs tonight.
And paragraphs
I couldn't sleep, and you still read it.You miss spacing, like the Spurs tonight.

All of this doesn't matter for this team.
Everybody was predicting losing to GS and easily winning against Miami aka "the revenge game'.
So they can pull a win against the Rockets and drop games to tanking scrubs.
Thanks for the useful research!
I don’t think such rest advantage will help enough the Spurs to get the W at Houston, Boston or Denver. No problem if those are 3 loses as long as the team plays decently. Spurs are favorite to win any other game and having rest advantage eliminates a potential excuse for not to do it.
They might be successful in any of those tough matches but probably they’d relax in the next easy game so the overall record stays in the expected 7-3, finishing 49-33. Far from 4th-5th seed IMO. 7th hopefully?
Agree with the spacing comment about your paragraphsbut thanks again for the good info.
OKC, Utah, and LAC shouldn't be in any danger of getting the 8th seed/Warriors.
Those teams are smart enough to know to angle for playoff seeding and avoid the Dubs, while Pop is probably salivating at the chance to treat Kerr to dinner for 4 straight games
At least we'll get the inevitable posts from GNSF about "Bring on the warriors" and how the sweep was worth not moving up extra spots in the draft.....
That road record is a ing joke, can't believe this pretender team managed to fluke into a 9 game winning streak tbh.
