    That’s not the way it works. Winning a big game in the regular season doesn’t mean you’ll win a big game in the playoffs. Ask the Brooklyn Nets how well they did in playoffs after sweeping champion Heat 4-0 in regular season. All that matters in regular season is that you win as many as you can. There’s no difference between a win over Pistons or a win over the Jazz. Absolutely none.

    Thats not how it works either.

    You lose a majority of games against good teams (which we have, there is no argument) you suck.

    Just face the fact this team sucks against teams they'll face in the playoffs. Don't bring up prior years... I only care about this year's team.

    There, now the truth is out there. You're welcome.

    Spurs used to have bad records vs good teams during the championship seasons. They just beat all the bad teams and had below average record vs good teams. Then they beat the teams they had to in playoffs. This is a fact.

    If you can’t accept we beat an OKC team that went 4-0 against us , then how can you know how this deeper team will do in this year’s playoffs? Neither of us know for sure but I’m making a point based on history. History matters, esp when predicting future which is all you’re doing.

    And you’re spoiled , Stren. The Kings suck. The Blazers are a very good team. Facts.

    What I know is history. History shows us that beating teams in regular season has no bearing on how you’ll play them in playoffs. None. Playoffs start at 0-0 and no one cares if you beat them in February.

    But it’s not a team. It’s all the teams. Cake schedule is what might get them in

    Norm has been sleepy off ball again (4-5 instances already)

    Offensively I like that we've been less reliant on Dame pnr
