spurs peak after march

but it doesnt look like it by the way things are going for the spurs

In Portland that stands for Spending Paul Allen's Money.

It's rumored that when a bunch of staff got fired some years ago it was because they were throwing the term around behind his back, using it as an excuse to not worry about the price of anything. Paul was insulted and the Vulcans showed no mercy.

I thought I'd revisit this thread. Less than a week since I started it and things have certainly changed. The Lakers, who were falling, have not only stabilized, but thanks to their trade, are now as close to a playoff lock as there could be right now in the west.

With parker out, the concern for the spurs on this road trip remains, but they did pull out a nice win over the suns.

The kings continue their improved play with their players back, but still have some work to do to even get back in the hunt.

there are no locks in the West this year

I think 10 teams in the West will win 50 games each

Didn't it take the Lakers OT to beat the Sonics by 2? Didn't they BARELY beat Memphis by 1?

The main problem for the Kings is the sheer number of teams they have to pass: three. It's hard to pass three teams in the west from 5 games back.

Since they got healthy, Sac-town's been turning it up. They have some really talented players and they're definitely in the mix for the final playoff spots. Currently in 11th place and 6 games back of Denver for 8th.

Sactown has no shot. Mark it down.

They are better than expected, so they deserve credit for this.
