The Warriors clinched the Number 1 seed in the Western Conference Playoffs last night. Throughout March, there were some people declaring that it would be the Spurs overtaking Golden State for the top seed…
Start thinking about that No. 2 seed, Warriors (via @knbrmurph)

Spurs were down 28 tonight and won. Warriors are losing that 1-seed. Really hope I'm wrong.

Moving to to semi-confident that the Spurs are getting the 1 seed

The Spurs will catch GSW for the #1 seed and Kawhi will win the 2017 MVP.

With KD out, will the Spurs catch the Warriors for first overall seed in the West?

Do you think the @spurs will catch the @warriors for the No. 1 seed in the West?

Fox Sports 1’s Nick Wright was particularly confident…
I still think the Spurs will get the 1 seed. And am I supposed to be impressed by a 5 game stretch of 24-4-6 on 49% by the reigning 2x MVP? https://t.co/w6BnEJRwss

You're right, it's not. So here's the deal: Even money bet, I've got the Spurs getting the #1 seed. Will take bets. We can escrow the money. https://t.co/6SrTJVATqh

Wow. Warriors punting on the 1 seed. SAS will clinch the tiebreaker & tie GSW in the loss column with a win Saturday. https://t.co/LT79UxM15m

What odds could I have gotten on July 5th that the Warriors wouldn't be the 1 seed in the West? Cuz that's what's going to happen.
