Spurs trying to track down the 2/3/4 seed

[Malik Hairston]

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?

Grizzlies aren't winning tomorrow, tbh..

well, assuming the grizz finish off the jazz today, if they lose tomorrow, we'd be tied with them. if the rox drop another game, memphis would have the tiebreak

[apalisoc_9]

Funny, because now we have to cheer for Houston to get the three way tiebreaker..Unless Memphis loses tonight and tom..

[ElNono]

you shouldn't expect anything from Utah, they're ing trash

True, but they play @ LA tomorrow and @ Golden State following that..if the Warriors can avoid having the Spurs in their bracket, they will IMO..

:00.0 MemShooting foul on Marc Gasol. Gordon Hayward to shoot 3 free throws

Have a chance to force OT

clear things up for me. how do we stay at 3 or get the 2?

If Memphis ends up with 26 loses by the end of RS, we need a three way tiebreaker. Houston plays two ty teams..

If Memphis loses twice no need for tiebreaker..We have it over Houston and LA.

[ace3g]

and he misses the 3rd...

[gambit1990]

so what now?

[MultiTroll]

So who do we pull for Mem vs Clippers?

[ace3g]

Spurs are 3rd seed for now

[spurraider21]

so what now?

cheer for clips against grizz

[gambit1990]

So who do we pull for Mem vs Clippers?

clippers i assume.

[Johnny RIngo]

2 seed with Rondo Mavs in the first round is ideal

[RD2191]

If Memphis ends up with 26 loses by the end of RS, we need a three way tiebreaker. Houston plays two ty teams..

If Memphis loses twice no need for tiebreaker..We have it over Houston and LA.

so if both the spurs and roxs win out we have the higher seed correct?

[apalisoc_9]

so if both the spurs and roxs win out we have the higher seed correct?

Yes...

Houston needs to win both their games for us to have the tiebreaker.

I'm not worried though.

I think memphis loses two in a row..

[RD2191]

do we get the 2nd seed if the grizz only lose 1 more game and all 3 teams end up at 56-26?

[spurraider21]

so if both the spurs and roxs win out we have the higher seed correct?

yeah. basically memphis has the tiebreak over us h2h, but we have the tiebreak in a 3-team scenario (or if its just us and houston). so basically we need houston to win out and not be fgts

hopefully harden tries to continue his mvp campaign after getting blocked tonight

that's too confusing for me. community college and what not. how would houston losing hurt us?

If all finish at 56-26, three-way tiebreaker goes to combined head to head winner. Spurs were 2-2 against Memphis, 3-1 against Houston, 5-3 combined. Houston 1-3 against SA, 2-2 against Memphis, 3-5 combined. Memphis 2-2 against Houston, 2-2 against SA. 4-4 combined. Spurs get the tiebreaker and win the division, finish 2nd.

[spurraider21]

as of right now, we still need memphis to drop a game (hopefully against the clippers next game). once that happens, the spurs/grizz/rox will be in a 3-way tie. in that scenario the spurs have the tiebreaker and become division winners



but if houston loses a game, then its just a 2-way tie on top between us and memphis, and memphis has the tiebreak against us

[RD2191]

if the grizz win tmrw do we stay at the 3 over the clips?

[Malik Hairston]

Pretty confident Warriors will play their guys vs. Memphis to avoid the Spurs bracket IMO..

[will_spurs]

Memphis is in control, if they win out they are guaranteed the 2nd seed.

If Clippers win over Memphis, their season series will be tied 2-2, as will be all the season series between MEM, LAC, HOU and SAS _except_ SAS-HOU which is 3-1 thanks to tonight's victory. This gives the Spurs the edge in case of a 3- or 4-way tie. If the Clippers win tomorrow and one of Clippers or Houston wins out, the Spurs are guaranteed #2 seed (and they win their division) if they also win out.

If Memphis wins tomorrow, they are 3-1 against the Clippers. Which means the Spurs own the tiebreaker in a MEM-HOU-SAS tie, but not straight up against MEM and not in any scenario involving the Clippers. Assuming the Spurs win out, they get #2 seed in this scenario if (a) Memphis loses the last 2 games of the season or (b) Memphis loses one of its last 2 games and Houston wins out.
