I'd be really interested to see what the narrative would be if San Antonio took both of the remaining games from the Warriors to ensure Golden State could at best tie the Bulls' record. I'd still give the edge to the Ws in a series because of homecourt, but if the teams were within 2-3 games of one another (despite the Spurs punting a few games for rest) and San Antonio had won the last 3 head-to-head meetings, that would ratchet up the intrigue even more. As much as Popovich professes to not care about regular season accomplishments, I'm still not sure the Spurs would sit everyone and and gift-wrap the record to the Warriors next Sunday.
