It\u2019s like someone switches off the gravity, or even the gravitas, and concerns that were once at the bottom float up to the top. At this point, the best teams are what they are. They know they\u2019ll start the playoffs at home against an overwhelmed opponent. They know that the potential for injury or complacency\u2014the secondhand smoke of an excessively long season\u2014is their most dangerous rival. They play these last games competing more against the limits of themselves than anything else.<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors and the Spurs, still by far the two best teams in the league, are chasing records: the Warriors, 69\u20138 as I write this, have a better-than-even chance of topping the 1995\u20131996 Chicago Bulls\u2019s record of 72\u201310; the Spurs are three home victories from having gone the entire season undefeated in their own arena, a feat no NBA team has ever accomplished.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As amazing as these accomplishments would be, their real cultural substance is debatable. For better and for worse, the NBA has long been the ying to baseball\u2019s yang. While the MLB force-feeds its fans the game\u2019s history (the uncomplicated version), its vaulted records and staid codes of conduct, NBA culture is constantly rejuvenating itself in order to stay attractive to the coming-of-age consumer. It skews toward the newish, drinks deeply from the wells of immediacy and forgetfulness. What\u2019s in front of you is always the Greatest of All Time. Fans, tallying inconsequential curios like triple-double and consecutive thirty-point games that the sport shows then put on silver plates for them, like to think they\u2019re always witness to something never done before. They left-swipe the history of the game\u2014they tend to have an obligatory respect for the champions of the past but an open disdain for most everything else. No one seems to think that forty years from now they\u2019ll be trying in vain to remind people of how good Stephen Curry and the Warriors were or how explosive Russell Westbrook was. This is the journey awaiting all of us. Save a coin for Charon.<\/p>\n<p>After all, the Spurs may go undefeated at home this season and then lose multiple games at home in the playoffs. The Warriors may go 73\u20139 and lose to the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals. Whatever happens, one of the best teams in the history of the league won\u2019t even make this year\u2019s Finals, and I can\u2019t help but wonder what will happen to that team in our collective memory. The season after the 1971\u20131972 Los Angeles Lakers\u2014led by Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Gail Goodrich, Jim McMillian\u2014set what was then the record for regular-season victories with 69, the 1972\u20131973 Boston Celtics came within one win of equaling them, only to lose to the Knicks in a hard-fought seven-game Eastern Conference Finals. The Knicks had finished eleven games <em>behind <\/em>Boston that season. But they\u2019re now considered an iconic team, one of the best of all time. The starting lineup of that Boston team is, for all intents and purposes, a matter of trivia. Memory in this league doesn\u2019t have much room for runners-up. The NBA is particularly brutal in this way.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the view from the other end of the standings tells a different story. Dallas, Chicago, Indiana, Utah, Houston, Washington, and Detroit are fighting for their postseason lives. Either they finish in the top eight of their respective conferences or miss the playoffs and hope for good luck in the summer draft. The teams in the west are particularly interesting to watch: they\u2019re battling for a chance to play the Warriors or Spurs in the first round of the playoffs, which brings with it certain doom and a very high risk of repeated embarrassment before a national audience. I don\u2019t mean to sound dismissive, but it is what it is.<\/p>\n<p>Those teams that are already out of the playoff hunt are beginning to shut down players with minor injuries\u2014ones who\u2019d be playing if the games were important. And players who control their contract options for next season\u2014those who can stay with their current team or opt out and pursue the riches of a market swelling with cash and trigger-happy executives\u2014have become contemplative and guarded in their comments about their situations. Some have taken to shooting more than ever to bulk up their final statistical profile; some are playing harder than ever to leave a good final impression for potential suitors; and some have tuned out. These aren\u2019t teams and players chasing history, they\u2019re being chased by their futures. Where will they be in a month? Still in the playoffs, by some surprise? Preparing to pick up their lives and move yet again, this time to who knows where, out of contract and untethered from the league? Taking a flyer on a good feeling and staying put for the love of their team or their city or the person they\u2019ve found? And still others, of a certain age and tired of the travel and the pains \u2026 what will they do after the love has gone?<\/p>\n<p><em>Rowan Ricardo Phillips is the<\/em>\u00a0Daily<em>\u2019s basketball columnist.
