Playoff Positioning

Would the Clippers be better off sliding down to the 6th spot?
The Clippers can beat Houston & might need to for confidence purposes. The Clippers defense was outstanding to start the season.
Secondly, in the next round LAC has no reason to believe they can't defeat the Spurs in a 7 game series. They did it before when they were the reigning champs. It's a different year but not many of the key players are the same.
Saving the Warriors for the WCF is the best opportunity​ for playoff longevity and for the coach\players on the team currently to stay intact. (imo, playing Utah or Houston is no gimme)
