Not even being better in percentage points can help us now. (Right?)
Spurs would have 1 W less than the others, so a lower W/L percentage. Spurs schedule is one game short compared to the others.

No...they are .1 percent behind the other guys cause they have 1 less win
Because not all teams are playing equal amount of games. It's stupid.
He knows how to coach leaps and bounds better than most coaches in the history of the game, but he still played the wrong players all season long. He knew it, still did it, and that's why we're going to miss the playoffs.
I think if the Spurs win their last game and 2 out of 3 of Memphis, Portland, or Phoenix lose, the Spurs get in.
If Spurs win, they finish 33-38, .464
If Suns lose, they finish 33-40, .452
If Memphis loses, they finish 33-40, .452
If Portland loses, they finish 34-40, .459
If all three lose, the Spurs are actually the 8 seed.
If any of those three win, they're ahead of the Spurs on winning percentage.

Who is the 2nd best player on the Blazers? Nurkic? Trent Jr? Surely it can't be McCollum, who is basically a high usage Brynn Forbes.
What Lillard is doing -- by himself -- is incredible. Also have enjoyed watching the Spurs and your young players recently. That would be a fun playin game.
It was a fun ride while it lasted.
For Spurs to get in:
A Spurs win AND 2 of POR, MEM, PHX need to lose Thursday.
For Spurs to get 8th:
A Spurs win AND all 3 of PHX, POR, MEM lose on Thursday.
Said it in the game thread, but still a really good bubble showing for the Spurs regardless of what happens on Thursday.
Got a good look at some young guys (some showed out, some should probably be shown the door)...and they'll end up getting the 11th pick when it's all said and done. Not too bad considering how horrible the rest of the season was prior to this.
We will get to play knowing how 2 of the other 3 teams did. That could be a good thing.
If suns get in we move to 10th
Yeah, Brett Brown really ed us. No more career well wishes from me for that guy, that's unless we get a great pick, lol.
If the Suns lose and two of the remaining three win, the Suns miss the playoffs despite going 7-1 in the restart.
Best case scenario tbh.
Nurk for sure
Blazers deserve the 8 seed, honestly. Popovich ed the team over with his Forbes obsession. Oh well
highest %age is the winner, spurs simply can't win because schedule gave 1 game less than others.
Maybe a wink wink deal with the commissioner to give us a top 4 pick in exchange?
Actually..
Games played for each team fighting for 8/9 at end of restart...
Spurs 32-38 = 70+1 = 71
Grizz 33+39 = 72 + 1 = 73
Suns 33+39 = 72 + 1 = 73
Blazers 34-39 = 73 +1 = 74
**+1 represents 1 game left to play.
Bret brown didn’t us, Dejounte did with that dribble into traffic and get stonewalled wasted possession late. The game was in our hands.
