Black name poster take a L for this clown.
1] To get it we would have to wear out out Big 3. Miami can play their big 3 every nite for 38 minutes and it will all be good. The Mavs will push for it because of 0 rings. The Lakers feel obligated to get it.
2] The # 4 seed would be perfect
3] Hopefully, Splitter and Anderson will add to the bench which will be vital this season.
4] Defensively, we need to improve by the playoffs. We really have only one BIG. If Splitter can get up to 2o minutes a game, we will be stronger.
Somehow, the NBA has become more like the NFL. Unlike other years the grind to championship in the East will be brutal. Rest the BIG 3 and build on this improved bench!

I want the SPURS to be the 1 seed in the west.
Puts a second round match up of the mavs VS LA in the second round.
Be careful what you wish for. The #4 seed would be somewhat detrimental because it would likely require that the Spurs would possibly face both the Mavs and Fakers in consecutive rounds (WCSF & WCF) in the playoffs.
That said, the Spurs should strive to secure the best record that they can. While I wouldn't want Pop to burn out the veterans in the process, and he certainly will not, they also shouldn't coast through the season and give games away, as they've done in the past. A point which Manu is on record for emphasizing to the coaching staff over this past offseason.
Extra home game for profits is always useful so Peter Holt can stay motivated spending money for better players.
What the is wrong with you?
OP makes no sense.
You realize the spurs have the #1 seed and their big 3 play far less than any other big 3?
HCA throughout the playoffs is gold for the spurs.....
Let the chips fall where they may. The way they're playing with the starters playing lower minutes than any other team, and with a "hasn't been a full bench because of injuries" already proving that they're a very capable group, why not get a high seed? But whatever the case may be, you play well enough to win, long enough to give your starters a workout, short enough so they don't burn out to overuse, and enough players to contribute to get the team Ring #5.
You're a dumbass.
lol star trek
The Spurs only chance at a le will be with the #1 seed IMO..a Mavs vs. Lakers series in the 2nd round would be absolutely perfect for the Spurs..it would mean that they would only have to play 1 of them, while the other 2 would have to play a tough, physical, long series in the semis(assuming the Spurs make it as far as the WCF, after taking care of the 4th WCSF team)..

So La, Dallas, and Miami top 3 in the west and the SPurs 4th???
There is still a lot of basketball to be played. The Spurs have taken the league by surprise and relied on some good fortune so far, but they aren't flying under the radar anymore. The defense will have to improve and Anderson\Splitter will have to play significant roles toward the end of the season.
A #1 seed would be huge. The Spurs will need a relatively easy first round to advance and have the health and energy for a, most likely, tough semi matchup.
Teams are going to be gunning for the Spurs from here on out and the Mavs and Lakers will challenge for the top seed the whole way through.
I don't buy into the belief that the Spurs' only shot at a le is the #1 seed, but I understand that it would greatly increase their chances.
This upcoming stretch of games should prove very telling as to where the Spurs stand as contenders to the le.
the Spurs have the best record..... if they drop in the 2nd half of the season, it's because they aren't playing well... and will likely lose in the 1st or 2nd round
from where we stand, if we are playing the best ball of the year by the end of the season, there is no giving up the top spot
I see where the OP is going. I like it.
In fact what we need to do is miss the playoffs altogether. You see if this happens, that will shave off a potential 4-28 games off the tires of our big 3, who need the rest.
This way they'll be fresh and raring to go for the 2011-2012 season, which will probably be shortened, thus giving us an unbelievable advantage in claiming another lockout-shortened le!
2012* or bust! TrekkieSpur you're the best bro.
4th seed? Really? But no sweat, since it is you that don't want the #1 seed.
I wouldn't say it's the only chance. A bit premature to be saying that but that is definitely the dream scenario.
This thread makes no sense. Who wouldnt want the top seed? Its the prefect scenario, just like HH said
Since my seed is always the top seed, I have no choice, but you my friend, you can opt out.
please explain how the spurs are to improve their defense without playing their best players.
Why would you not want the #1 seed?
if the Spurs can get the #1 seed playing Duncan less than 30 minutes a night, i'll be happy.
Lol bnsf
