** In some ways, the SPURS are in a "better" state than the DUBS ...... the SPURS are almost a lock as the #2 seed in the WEST & have a better record than anyone in the EAST. They also have a shot, albeit slim, of overtaking the DUBS for top overall seed.
Bottomline, they can just cruise-control and try to rest key guys, in time for the playoffs.
The DUBS meanwhile have the burden of chasing history - Kerr is trying to balance, resting starters and making it to 73 wins ....... sana lang wala nang injuries hanggang playoffs. This is the most fun team to watch since those old Steve Nash teams & old KINGS teams.
** One more thing going for the SPURS, if the standings hold true, come playoff time, they'll likely have a 1st round series with the very shaky ROCKETS ....... while the DUBS get the MAVS.
Not that the DUBS cant handle the MAVS ...... sadyang mas mahirap lang kalaban ang isang veteran & Carlisle-coached team kumpara sa ROCKETS.
** The GRIZZ will still make the playoffs at "swerte" ang makakatapat nila sa playoffs.
