That's stupid, considering that it's so hard to win the three middle games.
Just a reminder, getting home court for the finals shouldn't be a priority with the schedule being split 2-3-2, having the middle games at home seems more important than the first and last two. The spurs are good enough to split the first two on anyones court.

Lmao spurs rarely win the finals at home because they have HC. I'd take the spurs chances to win the first two on the road against Miami or chicago, if it comes to it.
The rest/ health going into the playoffs is more important than going all out to get a garuntee at hc for the finals. Besides chicago is doubtful to even beat the Heat anyways.
I'd rather have HCA. I think the Pistons were the only team to win all three at home.
winning 3 straight at home is impossible. This format favors home court team much more than the 22111 format.
It is best that SA tries to procure HCA throughout.
other than the fact spurs have had hca in every finals theyve played lol
Agree.
None of the Big 3 should play in the final 2 games. The Spurs are good enough to beat a tanking GS and a PHX team with possibly nothing to play for.
HC would be nice but, as OP pointed out, it should not be a priority.
They should play as always, perhaps less minutes.
The HCA is important too.
Spurs are good enough to take the first two away games against anyone in the finals. Tgey don't need to risk injury or health going for the hc, and it would be nice to win the chip at home for once.
Miami in 2006.
Detroit (1990), Chicago (1991) and LA (2001) won the middle three, but on the road.
I stand corrected.
I could say that Detroit is the first team to win all three at home that wasn't playing a team that was already planning the championship parade after game 2, but that's a bit wordy.
Nope. It's hard to win 3 straight HOME games,tbh.
Re ed not to go for HCA throughout. What the else are we playing for, to go all the way or not? If we intend to try to go all the way then obviously HCA is important. No question.
Re ed to risk injuries or needless wear and tear to go for something that might not even be necessary.
You won't even need the big 3 to win the rest of the games, tbh. I don't see where you're coming from.
Pretty stupid thoughts lol you know how hard it is to win 3 games in a row in the finals if you're not gonna just dominate anyway?
If you take care of business at home, you just have to take 1 of the next 3 game and you'll have 2 chances to close it at home. The advantage is even bigger in the finals
Not really impossible. Larry Brown led the Pistons to an NBA championship that way vs the Lakers.
The Heat is the one getting to the finals so we can afford to lose one more.
shouldn't be a priority, but i'd rather have it than not.
but if we see Chicago it isn't as big of a deal as it would be Miami, tbh.
This is only chicago we are talking about that we could potentially lose hc against and quite frankly they aren't the concern going into the playoffs, you can only focus on the games ahead of you, and right now making it through the first two playoff rounds is more important than worrying about a single team that isn't even favored to make it out of their conference.
Tell that to the 05 Spurs, when HCA proved to be critically important.
You're right, but nonetheless we also need to plan for every possibility. Chicago in the Finals is a very real possibility.
Still a good chance Chicago will come out of the East. Then what.
We'll be damning them for not trying to gain it by beating Phx. GS I think is a win regardless since they're in ultra tank mode. Just have to beat Phx.
Health is priority 1. With our track record and age it is the only thing that matters right now. without health you don't even get out of round 1, much less have to worry about playoff seeding, I'm not saying shut it down entirely, just treat these games as scrimmages for a deep le run, stay healthy and fresh.
Exactly
