[Tince]

whew

You're still suspended!

 

[Ripcity4life77]

TO --- wtf Billups inbound and slowly walk up the ball and have whoever has the ball -- accidently dribble it off his foot -- How is this hard ???

 

[blazerfan11]

I hope Pops doesn’t have a reverse 4-point play in his bag.

 

[illmatic99]

I fucking hate Chauncey

why? he single handedly orchestrated a 13-0 run by SA when he put John Butler at PG

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Can you believe I just screamed "Yes" when an opposing player made a basket?

 

[blazerkor]

 

[AldoTrapani]

Thank god for this Sheldon Johnson kid fuck

 

[KingSpeed]

What a heartbreaking loss. We had this.

 

[blazerfan11]

Looks like Pops might be on our side.

 

[Labinot41]

Yeah thank god, i'm just talking about playing Knox to much

 

[MickZagger]

Looks like Pops might be on our side.

Yeah, I mean what does he have to lose? They understand our scenario

 

[Tince]

He tried... Give him that much.

 

[illmatic99]

Yeah, I mean what does he have to lose?

spurs have incentive to lose as well

 

[KingSpeed]

I’ve never seen us bond like this in the forum. NOW everyone wants the same thing.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Why was Knox playing?

 

[AldoTrapani]

spurs have incentive to lose as well

How so? They’re already locked in with their top 4 chances

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Drew --- WTF why foul -- let the clock run out --- this is the good player some of you are talking about -- he cannot even tank right --- screw you Drew -- LOL

 

[KingSpeed]

spurs have incentive to lose as well

What incentive? 3 worst teams all get same odds.

 

[illmatic99]

Drew --- WTF why foul -- let the clock run out --- this is the good player some of you are talking about -- he cannot even tank right --- screw you Drew -- LOL

he prolly doesn't care about the 19 yr old coming in to replace him

 

[DDolla]

woo hoo… got nervous there but knowing this team, they always choke in the 4th

 

[blazerkor]

OK there is still some suspense but I really fucking hate agonizing over us possibly winning. Let this be the last tank season I have to go through. It's the right move but this is rough as fuck.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

What a heartbreaking loss. We had this.

WE HAVENT HELD A LEAD ALL YEAR!!

 

[illmatic99]

What incentive? 3 worst teams all get same odds.

if they lost tonight, they tie Houston at the #2 spot where the worst they could drop to was #6. at their current spot, they can drop to #7

[Natebishop3]

Our tanking shall not be denied!

 

[blazerkor]

Whew! Let's just get these last two losses... that was too damn close.

 

[KingSpeed]

What’s sad is even if we played everyone and tried to win, this probably would’ve been the same outcome. We were that bad this year.


LOL Butler at the buzzer

 

[Tince]

 

[riverman]

Quality tank job tonight...kept it entertaining..

 

[julius]

to quote C3P0, thank the maker.

How so? They’re already locked in with their top 4 chances

They were tied with Houston in the win column.
There is a 23% chance that both Houston and San Antonio both get bounced out of the top 4. In that case, Houston would pick before San Antonio if San Antonio has a better record.
Could be a big difference between picking 5th, and picking 6th.
Of course there’s over a 75% chance it doesn’t matter and one or both teams get into the top 4.
