Let us not jump to conclusions about the Spurs.
Difficulty: Hardcore/Nightmare
But, a chance is still there for them.
If other teams lose their game and Spurs is still at their best then a snatch for the 8th seed could come true.
Let's jump on the conclusion so fans won't expect. We have to accept the fact that Spurs is now done for this season. Even I don't want that to happen but I don't want to expect anymore. Even the legendary Phil Jackson coaches them this season, only their morale will be a boost but it's not enough when they are competing against the monster of the West.
Memphis Grizzlies will hold the 8th spot, that's for sure. It's now a matter if upset will happened once when they faced the 9th spot for the last playoffs spot.
Because of that, JJ Reddick's playoffs streak has a chance not to break. He never missed playoffs on his entire career.
Possible, might not be.

I remember that presscon. Zion response, why me I'm just a rookie.
