* are back-to-backs. I know I am wearing silver-and-black colored glasses, but I don't see where the remaining schedule isn't COMPLETELY in favor of the Spurs. If you discount the 4-game losing streak, no team in basketball has won more games since Jan than the Spurs. I don't know if you can say, 'playing better basketball,' because the Spurs haven't always played that well in wins, but it is what it is.

The Spurs must defeat Houston to have the tie-break on them and must have NO lose @ Dal last game of season to have any hope of a tie-break with them (would be conf record).

Being completely objective, I believe the sheer number of road vs home games in addition to NO having 4 back-to-backs, means the Spurs should win the division, hands down.
