Next 10 games...

[Brazil]

So after a tough tough stretch, it seems we gonna have an easier schedule for the next 10 (I've read some predictions at 8-2 for instance)

Dec 30 @ (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=46159)Mem
Dec 31 NO
Jan 3 Wash
Jan 6 Det
Jan 9 Pho
Jan 10 @Min
Jan 13 @Wash
Jan 14 @Char
Jan 16 Port
Jan 18 Utah

Now if you get a closer look, these next 10 are not that easy imo. It starts with a BtoB after one day rest mem (nuff said) and NO at home ... Next 3 seems ok at home with 3 days rest between each game. Then we have 3 games away starting with second leg of a BtoB @Min and another BtoB 3 days after starting with Wash that is playing good at home. 2 days after Port could be a headache.

With Leonard and/or Parker back at some point during that stretch a 8-2 seems a good bet witout them with 3 BtoB and Patty ramping up could be much tougher.

Taking into account all parameters I'd be happy with a 7-3 losing mem (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=46159), @Wash and Port.

Thoughts ?

DG playing like this and with Patty back, I say FSK them all.

[313]

9-1

[313]

We lose @wash

[mexicanjunior]

5-5

[TMTTRIO]

I'm hoping that since Patty is back we can rest Manu for some games.

[Brazil]

5-5

sounds a bit pessimist tbh...

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Spurs have an easy schedule the rest of the way. Just a couple of mini stretches at the end of Feb and Apr are the only difficulties left on the Spurs schedule.

Spurs schedule in November and especially in December were brutal. But don't be surprise is the Spurs put together a couple of 10+ game winning streaks in the next couple of months.

The only positive thing about these past two months is the Spurs had a winning record against playoff opponents despite the brutal schedule they had and despite having a plethora of injuries. Easy schedule and everyone coming back, Spurs should climb back up towards the top of the standings in no time.

New year new team for me the next 10 game stretch starts Jan 3 and so on.
MEM and NO are part of the shitty schedule.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

January as a whole is a semi easier month. Still need to play the games though

I don't disagree even tho NO at home should be considered in normal conditions out of the so called shitty schedule but it's the second leg of BtoB.

Next two after Utah are @Den and chi, not really easier than mem and NO

[Brazil]

sup scro, happy new year! :lol

back to work after a great week of holidays tbh...

Hope you had a great Xmas and happy new year scrah

From my point of view while NO is not a dangerous team, the league is so desperately trying to make ¨Camel Boy¨ Anthony Davis the new supertard so I expect a lot of bullshit calls for SA even at home Im not happy with the treatment we are receiving, funny thing is Dallas can get more FTA at home against Thunderefs than us.

[100%duncan]

10-0

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

SAS - 9 ECF opponents, 11 B2B (8 WCF currently under .500)

Por - 16 ECF opponents, 7 B2B (8 WCF currently under .500)
MEM - 10 ECF opponents, 6 B2B (7 WCF currently under .500)
Dal - 16 ECF opponents, 7 B2B (5 WCF currently under .500)
LAC - 15 ECF opponents, 8 B2B (7 WCF currently under .500)
GSW - 9 ECF opponents, 6 B2B (8 WCF currently under .500)
HOU - 9 ECF opponents, 8 B2B (9 WCF currently under .500)

Spurs have also played the most games, the most WC games, the most Road Games, and the least amount of home games than any other team above them in the standings. Spurs also had the hardest SOS of any of those teams.

Spurs got shafted in their scheduling early on. Its seems like Pop knew this so he has just been resting Parker, Kawhi, Splitter, etc. until this stretch is over at the end of this year. Like I said, the Spurs have the easiest schedule of all the teams going forward and should move right back up the standings.

sounds like a solid plan

how was your trip in Texas ?

Tell El Cliente we said hola

:lol Anything wrong with it? First time here, food is great, IMO

:lol no I don't think so, I've only been there once. I just thought it was funny cause you come all the way down here to Texas and choose Cheddar's. It sort of just reminds me of a Chili's or Friday's. I remember their burger being really good, so there's that!

[cd021]

9-1. @ Memphis and NOH on a B2B is the one I'd worry about most. Finally some rest in between games. Only 10 games in 20 days and a 9 day home stand. Parker and Leonard could be back towards the end of that stretch.

[timmy2003]

10-0.

[BillMc]

7-3 (but hope for better, of course)

:lol I had Bill Miller's BBQ yesterday in San Anton (not as good as it used to be, IMO)... Cheddar's is Texas only too IIRC...

Food was really good, IMO

I didn't know Cheddar's is only in Texas.

If you are at Cheddar's at 1604 and I-10, you are also close to some really good San Antonio restaurants. A new Silo's just opened up about 5 miles from there on I-10 and it is dynamite. Or Paesano's. Or Piatti's. Or Perry's. Or Wildfish down on 1604. All pretty close to the Cheddar's at 10 and 1604. If you liked their food though...fair enough. Never been there myself.

I'm back at the RGV... Thanks for the recommendations though :tu

[Beaverfuzz]

11-0.

Fuck them all.

[Brunodf]

6-4

11-0.

Fuck them all.

Wouldn't that be nice?!

[dbreiden83080]

Hopefully 7-3..

[TVI]

10-0

[ElNono]

MVPatty: 13-0 (a couple will be close due to rest)

[milkyway21]

8-2 (close game losses)

[Amuseddaysleeper]

With 4 games in 6 nights Pop will be resting a lot of players so I don't think our record during that stretch will be as good as some people think but we'll probably still rise up to the 6th seed by the end of those games.

[Silver&Black]

10-0

MVPatty is back. 10-0 sounds about right....

[GrandeDavid]

I say they go 8-2. I think Patty's return and win over Rockets broke the spell. Also, all their home games they should win.

[hater]

We lost many close games vs. top teams without our big guns in Parker and Kawhi. I say we build up leads so Evita cannot throw the games in clutch time

7-3 at worse imo

[703 Spurz]

We lose @wash

Fuck that. I'll be there. SA hasn't lost in DC in a while.

[taps]

I'm back at the RGV... Thanks for the recommendations though :tu
Then fill up on mariachis, The Texas border has the best Norteno food IMO.

Don't like Mexican food, tbh

[Brazil]

So 1-1 on the first two which is not that bad... we should get 3 W next:

Jan 3 Wash
Jan 6 Det
Jan 9 Pho

3 days rest between each game... hopefully we will have everybody except Kawhi

I expected a loss at Memphis. But of the 14 games the Spurs have in January, I expect them to only drop 2. Go back and look at the games. Pop experimented a lot with the lineups last month. He always does in December. It just so happen this December, the Spurs had the shitty schedule I have even witness for a month, plus a string of injuries to key players.

Being 20-14 is not that bad considering.

Depending on injuries evolution, @Wash and Port could be tricky tbh

I agree on the 20-14 is not that bad. At this point only health matters... fuck home court, this a luxury we cannot afford to chase right now. Tim and Manu are exhausted, now that Splitter, Parker, Patty are back time for them to carry a bit the load and limit Tim and Manu's minutes so that everybody can be as freash as possible after ASG break.

[GrandeDavid]

The Spurs legitimately could and almost had better win the next ten straight, especially if Parker gets off his rear end and gets back on the court. Hopefully Kawhi isn't done for the year.
