If the spurs beat the lakers, the lakers have the potential to drop to the 4th seed. With the spurs being the 1st seed and the lakers being the 4th, this mean they would meet in the second round of the playoffs if both teams were to win their opening rounds. THE SPURS DON'T WANNA SEE THE LAKES TILL THE CONFERENCE FINALS AND VICE VERSA FOR THE LAKERS. Which means there's a good chance the spurs throw this game!
