They've played 6 less games than the Blazers... how is that even possible? I know there's scheduling peaks and valleys in the frequency of games, but damn... with a month and a half left in the season and that big of a gap in games played.. that seems slightly ridiculous.
 
over the last 4 weeks or so blazers play 13, Orlando 14 games with rockets, spurs, was playing 18

Maybe it has to do with the rodeo trip?
 
That schedule doesn't bode well for a "veteran" team like SA. I actually think Houston might catch them for the #8 spot. I certainly think we pass them.

So let me get this right. You are thinking that Houston will make up 6 games in the loss column in San Antonio's last 18 games. Even if Houston won all the rest of their games, San Antonio would have to drop one out of every 3 games the rest of the way for them to catch them. So are you sure about that statement? :ohno:
 
I didn't realize this, I guess this is why Popovich wants to rest Duncan on back to backs rest of the way out.

Depends on how you look at it. Yeah, it sucks for the Spurs that they have such a heavy schecule at the end of the season. On the other hand, it sucks for the Blazers that they had such a heavy schedule during the part of the season when so many of our guys were out with injuries. I'd sure rather have a few more games remaining with a healthy Roy than have lost so many during the heavy schedule when he was out.

Not to mention that, sometimes, too much rest (i.e. time off) can result in poor outcomes.

One thing, though, the Blazers appear to be really focused. I like that. :)

Seriously, go look at who SA plays. everyone should go look at who SA plays. We have a REALLY good chance to pass them up.
 
Sounds like Parker broke a bone in his hand. Sucks for him and the Spurs - but this does not make their life easier. On the other hand, they won against Memphis, which makes MIXUM's prophecy that they (Memphis) is coming strong that much funnier.
 
They have a higher chance now of losing their spot in the playoffs? Perhaps ending up #8?
 
They never had much of a chance at #7 with their incredibly tough strength of schedule and how condensed of a time frame they have to do it. But with Parker out for the season, they're done. Question now is if they slip to 9th and someone steals that 8 spot and if Portland has enough to pass OKC for the 6th spot.

San Antonio is 36-24, 22 games left. If they finish .500 for those 22 games, they end up at 47-35.

Houston is 31-30, 21 games left. They'd have to go 16-5 to tie San Antonio in this scenario.

If Houston won all its remaining games, they'd end up at 52-30. San Antonio would have to go 16-6 to end up tied with them.

It remains to be seen how devastating Parker's injury is to San Antonio. I could see them going .500. Or worse.
 
Tues 3/16 @ Miami
Wed 3/17 @ Orlando
Fri 3/19 vs. GSW
Sat 3/21 @ Atlanta
Sun 3/22 @ OKC
Wed 3/24 vs. The Flakers
Fri 3/26 vs. The LeBronzes
Sun 3/28 @ Boston

Two back-to-backs for an aging/injured team. This rest of this month should put a fork in 'em. Nice knowing ya, San Antonio! Thanks for (at least) the 7th seed.

Wow - way to show up Miami. No Parker and you're still down 18 at home?
 
Would we be a 1.5 games ahead of San Antonio if they lost and we won on Friday?
