meaningless game for the spurs, they will be resting players....
.... AND the spurs are actually better off losing this game and letting the lakers have the 2nd seed.... if the spurs win tonight, there is a risk the lakers will fall into the 4th seed, forcing these teams to meet in the second round, something BOTH teams want to avoid.... spurs want to lose this one as much as the lakers want to win....
.... to be honest, i am surprised it is only 6.5! I doubt we will see ginobli, parker, duncan, mcdyess in the line up tonight....
if spurs meet the bulls in final, the homecourt is still not secured, bulls can win next 2 games to take over the overall first place.
yes, that is a good point.... bulls are a hungry team and are likely going all out to win tonight and tomorrow to get to 62 wins....
... do the bulls have the tie breaker? I believe after head to head record, the tie-breaker in the finals is the teams record against the other conference. Bulls have a better record against the west than the spurs record against the east. please correct me if i am wrong
.... BUT, how do we know the spurs are even thinking about that right now?

if spurs and bulls both end up at 62-20, they will have split their head to head meetings and both be 23-7 against the other teams conference, meaning the finals home court will be decided by a random drawing....
Also, we have to factor the Bulls play first tonight on the east coast.... for all we know, they could lose, at which point the spurs will certainly sit all their players....
