    The playoff picture could get interesting with a win against the Grizzlies.

    Just a reminder everyone - you only have to be within 4 games of the 8th seed after the 8 #NBARestart games to make the play-in as the 9th seed. From there 8th seed only has to win 1, 9th seed has to win 2 to advance past play-in.

    Thanks Ace. My primitive childlike mind is confused by this though. So how many teams can make the play-in? 2? 4? I haven't been up on the NBA stuff for a while.

    Only the 9th seed makes the play-in. All seeding is determined by winning % (since not every team will have played the same amount of games total after the 8 restart games). If Grizz would have beat the Blazers yesterday we would already be the 9th seed.

    **This is the only reason (along with the rotations / commitment to young players) that I was even excited about the restart. If we had to reach the 8th seed outright after the 8 games that would be an almost impossible task with Grizz and Blazers ahead of us).

    ***And TBH ESPN and others aren't doing a good job of emphasizing the "within 4 games" rule and play-in when discussing the race for the 8th spot in both conferences.

    So, if you are 9th seed you're in. Out of curiosity do the games between the 8th and 9th seed for the play-in count as a form of playoff games? Both in terms of the Spurs streak, but also player playoff stats, bonuses, etc? Or will those games be anomalies ignored forever after?

    If you make the 9th seed and within 4 games you make the play-in (still haven't made the playoffs yet). During the play-in stage the 8th only has to win 1 game, the 9th seed would have to win 2 to make the final final 8th spot.

    I'm 99.9% sure the play-in doesn't count as part of playoff streak, etc.

    Memphis will likely be out for blood after that OT loss to Portland.

    On the other hand, maybe Memphis would rather face the Spurs than the Blazers (but alas that's probably over-analyzing it -- they may simply fear falling out of the 8 spot).

    JJJ and Morant both put in heavy minutes, so hopefully Spurs a little more rested.

    Matchups will be interesting as Grizzlies will be playing bigger than the Kings. Can Spurs get away with Gay and Demar guarding Jackson? And please hope Dejounte doesn’t come up empty against Morant like he did against Fox.

    This is a different animal from hobbled Sacramento. I wouldn't expect a win, but it's a nice test for our young guys.

    Tough outings for Murray to start out the season tbh. Gets destroyed by Fox. About to get destroyed by Morant. And then will follow it up by getting destroyed by Simmons.

    Bryn Forbes (quad) is out and Marco Belinelli (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against Memphis, per #Spurs injury report.

    Size shouldn't be a problem.
    Jackson is more a stress 4, he not going to overpower people in the paint, Just hope you can get an hand on him and he does not get hot.
    Anderson (if he starts) is an offense threat
    Brooks always had the advantage against us, mioslty he was getting guarded by Forbes, now he he;ll be getting guarded by either Walker or Lonnie.
    Vakanciun and Jakob matches up nicely.
    It's gone come down to control Morant, so we'll have three/four guys to go against him.

    Outside of thst Clark is the only real weapon to worry about.

    Incoming tough win!! Better overall team. Memphis was more trouble when they had Crowder, tbh.
