I love how the warriors are still playing seriously. Curry to be more specific is playing with a ton of purpose...
might bite them in the ass..
yeah division winner gives you tiebreaker.
look out for NOP and Thunder.
We better hope NOP have secured 8th by last game or already eliminated.
They are going to play with a ton of purpose if there is still something to play for.

its not unusual... David Robinson scored 71 in a season finale because he wanted a scoring le
curry was gunning for the 3pt record and is pushing for mvp, obviously
I just think they are risking a run for stupid individual allocades.
Play them 20mpg from now and and just play to get into some sort of rhytm.
There was a couple of scary plays on Thompson tonight...
at this point I feel the same as last year, I don't care too much about seeding. I just want the Spurs as healthy and in sync as possible.
Homecourt for the Thunder wouldn't have mattered because of the Ibaka injury. We'd have won both games in OKC with Ibaka missing. If anything, it would have made that series easier. I'm not sure they rush Serge back, down 0-2 and the next games in SA.
I guess the worst scenario would be facing Houston on the road in round 1, with them as 3 and Spurs as 6. And if that happened, that would mean they beat us on Friday, which will give them confidence and momentum in the matchup.
Being a division winner is the first tiebreaker in the list, and the only way we could have a tiebreaker against the Clippers.
Wow thanks for this

If the Blazers hadn't won their division, they would now be in 7th, 2 games behind 6th, instead of locked into 4th.
Spurs can't win s/w div, Grizz win that with better conf record.
Spurs have to win out, and Grizz must win @LAC to push LAC to 27L for spurs to get into upper bracket and have HCA in first, second round, but then no HCA in WCF or le series.
Nope.
The least they need is one Memphis loss and Houston winning the rest of the way after Friday's game. So the spurs need a three/four way tie to get the tiebreaker. Very likely sinxe Houston plays bad teams after their game against SAS.
Here is my order of preference on who I want the Spurs to face in the 1st round:
1. Blazers - The Blazers still have a very good starting 5 with Lillard, Afflalo, Batum, Aldridge, and Robin Lopez but they have no bench. Seriously look at their depth chart. Should be close a couple of quarters before the Spurs reserves blow them out.
2. Rockets - The Rockets lose Dmo and Beverely, which pretty much robs them of a 2nd guy that can create his own shot and a Parker stopper. Like the Blazers, the Rockets lack depth. Only thing the Spurs need to worry about is the foul calling.
3. Grizzlies - People say the Grizzlies are an easy match up but they play hard and tough. Don't like the injury risk and players getting worn out.
4. Mavs - The Mavs still have all their pieces relatively healthy and always seem to play insane against the Spurs. Match up wise, Monta is an explosive small guard that is a critical weakness to the Spurs defense. Chandler always seems to guard Duncan well and Dirk will be a problem if Splitter isn't healthy.
5. Clippers - The Clippers are on a roll and will carry momentum into the playoffs (they are 11-1 in their last 12 games). Surprisingly they are the most composed team other than the Warriors and Spurs heading into the playoffs. Spurs will definitely need a healthy Splitter in this round since Jordan/Griffin will probably be too much for Duncan/Baynes. Maybe Diaw can step up and guard Griffin.
Ultimately, there really isn't a team ranked 2-7 where the Spurs shouldn't be the clear favorites other than maybe the Clippers. The real WCF will be whenever the Spurs and Warriors meet. The Spurs have increased their chances of meeting the Warriors by playing consistently. Also, other teams seem to be falling apart near the finish line and that can only help the Spurs.

If we finish with the same record as memphis, but the rockets drop another game, wouldn't we lose the tiebreak to the Grizz? and by extension the Clips too?
Somebody post an updated seedings scenario for the remaining games
