    Jarrett Allen says getting to .500 (36-36) with a win tomorrow over Portland is a bit of a motivation. Wuth all the adversity the team had to overcome, the lack of KD and Kyrie, etc, this season, it’s a good marker.

    Will the team that stole our color scheme be the savior?

    Nets have nothing to lose really. They play a tough matchup and a team playing desperate (this is gonna help them in the future). They are young and their players are already injured. I see all 3 games being compe ive in my opinion (regardless if there will be resting).

    Getting into a 7-game series against LA will do wonders for the young players' confidence.

    Unfortunately, Giannis was just suspended for that late game headbutt, so the Grizzlies caught a major break.

    It will do nothing to get swept in that series. The Spurs have to get the highest draft pick in the next two seasons and add some talent.

    It will give us the record. That's a significant feat that would last for a long ass time. Probably none of us would see that get broken.

    so if Im reading right, the only possible change in the west right now is houston / utah for 4/5 seeds and whoever ends up 8th right?
    Yeah i think we'll win but end up watching suns - blazers play in, i'll be rooting for the suns... the philly game and playing less games were the final nail in the coffin. and to think that even with murray's choke, a successful coaches challenge on the embiid shot clock violation would have kept the streak alive ...

    highest %age is the winner, spurs simply can't win because schedule gave 1 game less than others.

    It's not the number of games played, you bag. It's the number of wins.

    If the Spurs and the other teams all finished with the same number of wins, and the Spurs have fewer losses (because of fewer games played), they have a higher winning percentage. Playing fewer games is actually an advantage, if the number of wins are the same.

    French public schools must be even worse than American public schools.

    Why are you giving him for? He's right.

    Highest winning % gets into the play-in. Neither number of losses nor wins matter. If all teams win tomorrow, the Spurs will be out because they will end up with a lower winning %

    Blazers 35-39 - .473 %
    Suns 34-39 - .465 %
    Grizzlies 34-39 - .465 %
    Spurs - 33-38 - 464 %

    The way the Spurs have been playing in this bubble I think it's safe to say that if they had 2 more games (to tie the number of games played by the Suns and the Grizzlies), they could have at least gone 1-1 which would have allowed them to catch those teams in terms of winning %. So yeah, playing fewer games has indeed ed the Spurs over.

    The irony is that in most baseball or NBA playoff races (where you're comparing teams with winning records rather than losing records) playing less games is an advantage for your winning percentage.

    The presumed 1-1 record for the two extra games brings down an above-500 winning percentage the same way it raises up a below-500 winning percentage.

    We're conditioned to think of playoff races being between winning teams that end up playing the same number of games -- that's why we're having such a hard time wrapping our heads around a situation where the "all-important" loss column means nothing.

    So if Memphis loses we either are in the playoffs or get the 10th pick?

    No. Memphis AND Portland have to lose, and the Spurs and Suns have to win for that to happen.

    I think the most likely scenario is that all four teams win, and the Spurs pack and go home.

    Yeah, and for good reason. Teams with losing records shouldn't be in the playoffs. We've been laughing at the eastern conference for years for that very reason.

    You ignorant . In case you don't get it, winning% is dividing the number of WINS by the total number of games played. Same number of wins and less games played gives a HIGHER winning%. If the Spurs had won the same number of games as the others, having fewer games to divide by was an advantage. It's a math thing.

    You're presuming that if the Spurs had played 2 more regular season games, they would have won them. They're in this mess because they were 27-36 when the season stopped for COVID.

    Actually DAF is right. You are missing the whole argument. Spurs played 2 games less than the Suns and Memphis before the Covid Shutdown, no matter the record, thats an disadvantage. His argument was, that those 2 games they realisticly could have gone 1-1, which i believe everbody can agree on. This would put the spurs on equal footing with the Suns and Memphis. Spurs have the tiebreaker with memphis (suns i dont know). But the League said from the beginning, thats the least unfair option they could agree on going by percentages. Your whole argument makes therefore no sense for the actual situation the spurs are inn.
