One technicality about that, the championship title Spurs teams typically had their highest win percentage IN March, not after March, including 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2014. 2005 was the exception because of Duncan's 15-game injury. 2012 was a similar year to the traditional Spurs championship runs but that one didn't end up in a championship.

Comes down to SGA and JDub's injuries imo. Spurs got a brutal schedule coming up.

Feels gross rooting for Nephew tbh.

OKC has an even tougher schedule

I remember in 2003 when the Spurs would go like 9-1 in extremely brutal 10 game stretches in the back half of the season when they'd go like 5-5 in cakewalk 10 game stretches early in the season with losing to the 13-69 Hawks, 37-45 Knicks, 17-65 Nuggets, 27-55 Clippers, 28-54 Grizzlies, teams like that.

Exactly. I believe it's after rrt we peak so I think its spurs peak after March 1st

True, which is why it comes down to SGA and JDub's injury situation. Also, the Spurs' schedule is misleading since several teams they play are playing better than their current records tbh (Clippers, Sixers, Hornets).

Murray choked at the FT line and LAC escape with the win!

 

[BatManu20]

Clippers come back and win it after Murray misses a FT with 0.9 seconds left. Wild. Helps give us more breathing room while also helping our draft positioning. Thanks Clips.

 

[Robz4000]

Too bad Houston didn't lose, would've given the Spurs a 5 game cushion tbh.

 

[spurraider21]

lol jamal choked again

 

[spursistan]

Clippers doing us solid both for seeding and the future pick owed to OKC (that's looking like 15th-16th pick instead of a top 4 couple months ago). Not worried about Denver catching us anymore.

Tbh.

Analysis Thread 'The Race for Home-Court Advantage - 25/26 Playoffs Seed Tracker'

Dec 30, 2025

Making this a general discussion thread for keeping track of opposing Western Conference teams and their developments through the season, as it relates to the Spurs' current push for not only the Playoffs, but even home-court advantage on them.

The Spurs are currently the #2 seed in the Western Conference, with a W-L record of 23-9.

The #1 seed, OKC, seems hard to catch up with at a 28-5 record, but we hold the tie-breaker against them. The #3 seed, Denver, is currently 22-10, right behind the Spurs - but Nikola Jokic is expected to...

we play denver 3 more times, so a lot can happen

 

[Correct Crusader]

If we stay healthy I could 100% see it.

 

[Weeks]

helpful choke at the line by murray...gives us more cushion against the nugs. now if only the rox had lost

They are too banged up to make up a 5-game gap unless we get the injury bug ourselves. Also very clearly Jokic got rushed back 2-3 weeks too soon. He's looked sloppy and listless for his standards so far.

S/O Bennedict Mathurin tbh.

Seems like another Norman Powell....I remembered he had a few great games during last year Pacers amazing run to the Finals

 

[spursparker9]

As long as we stay healthy and the 3s are falling.....#1 seed we are coming!

Serves him right after that All-Star game by him.

Was afraid Clippers were going to fall off after those trades, but looks they might even catch the Dubs for 8th seed with Curry's old man knee atrophy kicking in. I don't think people realize how lucky we and rest of league are with Kawhi choosing to stay the healthiest he's been in a decade this season along with Adam Silver holding off on dropping the hammer for this long..Presti must be livid; only a couple of months ago he thought he was getting a top 4 pick in this massive draft..

Is it Nephew staying healthy or his gravy train being outted tbh?
