Not true unless you meant - if we win this. If Suns win, Spurs are out no matter what. Spurs are in only if Suns, Portland and Memphis all lose. A longshot
Only two of three actually, the West race is absurdly tight. If Memphis and Phoenix lose they fall to 33-40, a Spurs win make them 33-38 and they pass them easily, and San Antonio would even pass Portland with a Blazers loss because 33-38 is a slightly better win percentage than 34-40
If two of Portland, Memphis, and Phoenix lose with a Spurs win then the Spurs make the play in games
