Don't look, children!
16 in a row! Tonight's game is how Wednesdays game should have gone.
133 is a great score in 2 OT. We're playing unbelievable right now
Big 3 will most likely sit tomorrow, but we need our bench to win that game and out another win between us and the Thunder. Our next 4 after NO is: Indiana, Golden State, OKC, and Memphis. That's a rough 4 game stretch with GS and OKC being back to back.
Anthony Davis being out would be a huge break for the Spurs
I see Pop either waving the white flag for OKC, or sitting the Big 3 the night before and betting it all on the OKC game. A win at OKC should pretty much lock up the #1 seed and then we basically shut it down until playoffs.
Sitting players on the first end of a b2b isn't necessarily Pops style. He might do it with one guy here or there but never with all his top dogs. He will most likely just throw the game in OKC. They are coming off three full days rest before that outing anyway.
Pop will go for the win against GS because he knows it'll be easier than OKC. Then he'll sit everyone the next night.
With Beverly out and Howard out for 10 days or so I find it hard seeing LAC not finish the three seed. Looks like a possible SA/HOU second round assuming Spurs stay 1.
GS finishing 5 would make a pretty interesting serious though.

Memphis blew a 4th quarter lead against GS last night and Phoenix keeps winning, so the Grizz are in the 8th seed currently. I have no preference between playing Dallas or Phoenix, but I'm keeping a close eye on Memphis and pulling for them to play OKC in the first round.

If Beverly doesn't come back for the playoffs it makes our matchup with them all that much more favorable for us. They're pretty bad defensively, but without Bev to give Parker hell, they're pretty helpless against our pick and roll.
Agree. It would be a big break for us if Beverley is out.
They would have a tough time guarding the curry/thompson duo as well without bev, they better hope Portland stays 5. Portland isn't upsetting anyone.

If Portland doesn't get their stuff together, they could end up 7 and having to play OKC in the first round.
Davis out, hopefully the starters don't need to play too much.
The Foreign Legion is so weird.

"Frogging" definitely looks like something I would try and then immediately roll my ankle.
I think it's safe to say we are playing for the 1st seed. Big 3 play on the second night of the back to back at home against the pelicans.

I'm surprised, but they all played about 20 minutes last night and are probably done with a little more than 20 tonight. So, not a lot of run for them.
Where's the pic of the Silver Dancers "frogging"? You might want to check it out 
You need to post that pic.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Why did this happen?
Indiana lost at Cleveland and failed to break 80 today. They play much better at home, but they're really sliding right now.
Read that they had a team meeting after the game. Of course I'm sure they will come out all sorts of fired up next game.
They were certainly able to pick up the intensity a few nights ago to beat the Heat (who haven't looked like world beaters recently either). I'm sure having the team with the best record in the league will give them more energy.
Regardless of how tomorrow's game turns out and looking ahead to a potential finals matchup, I'm not sure Indiana can score enough points to beat us in a series, especially if they don't have home court. For as outstanding as their defense has been, their offense has been equally as bad. Their starters are the only players they can really rely on, so they all log a ton of minutes every game. Scola isn't nearly the inside scorer that he was in Houston. Evan Turner has worked out about how I figured he would, which is not very good. The rest of their bench has even less firepower than the aforementioned guys for the Pacers.

Agree.
I still think Indiana is San Antonio without the offense.
I get the feeling Pop puts an end to the streak tonight, to take a bit of pressure off the OKC game. But who knows.
Baynes out with a cracked rib. Looks like some extended minutes for Ayres.... fantastic.
I feel the opposite. If we lose tonight that puts more pressure on the OKC game. The OKC game scheduling is a classic set up for Pop to sit our stars. Whether we beat OKC or not, they will hold the tie breaker over us. So essentially our lead over them is 2 games because of the lost tie breaker. If we lose to them on Thursday our lead is down to 1 game.
