I don't think there is any real pressure tonight. The Blazers needs to beat the Clippers first to be a threat for the 4th seed. Also tonight's Spurs team is very much shorthanded.

Vegas givin us -5 over the Spurs? That's generous. Although we do seem to own them for some reason lately.
That's weird. Why rest those and not Duncan, the guy that probably needed the rest the most. Or even Parker and Manu. The Spurs isn't just resting here. They are trying out lineups to get data on how to play the Rockets in the 2nd round.
Help me understand.....the Clippers have clinched the 3rd spot, so what is their incentive to play hard other than competitive juices which would be the same for the Spurs tonight. HCA is really important I think. So, if the Rockets don't beat SA and the Blazers do beat the Clips, we would need to beat NOP on the road to clinch. Is that correct ?
Magic # is 1. Got to win 1 or them lose 1. We lose both and they win out, they get HCA. There IS pressure for us to WIN.
How are the spurs 2 wins away from having the best record in franchise history? I would think they'd had a better record years ago when they were "younger". Just shows the Spurs never "age". Sheesh.
Quick question: If we win this game, we sweep the Spurs in the regular season. IF we meet them in WCF, do we get home court advantage even they have the best record in the West?
