[FromWayDowntown]

6 of first 8 are on the road -- interesting; with a long RRT in February, there must be some long-ish home stands.

@ OKC
v. BRK
@ BOS
@ NYK
@ WAS
v. CHA
@ SAC
@ PRT

Also a very soft start for the Spurs. Other than OKC, BOS, WAS, they really don't see a likely playoff team until Nov. 20 (@ NOP).

[BD24]

Our first home game is against Brooklyn? Really we couldn't get a more interesting/better team for our home opener.

[FromWayDowntown]

RRT is 8 games with 2 before the break and 6 after:

2/9 at MIA
2/10 at ORL
ALL-STAR BREAK
2/18 at LAC
2/19 at LAL
2/21 at PNX
2/24 at SAC
2/25 at UTH
2/27 at HOU

8-0 seems realistic, but knowing the Spurs there will be a let down or two in there

2 games in October (no B-2-B)
16 games in November [18 through Nov.](3 b-2-b)
16 games in December [34 through Dec.](3 b-2-b)[6]
13 games in January [47 through Jan.] (2 b-2-b)[8]

16 games in March [75 through Mar.] (3 b-2-b)[15]
7 games in April [82] (2 b-2-b)[17]

I count 17 back-to-backs. Probably screwed up somewhere.

[FromWayDowntown]

Last 30 or so days of the season (from March 10 on) could be pretty difficult, with GST and OKC 3 times each (though 4 of those 6 games are at home) in that span and Memphis 2 times and a game in Denver on the second night of a back-to-back that starts at the Warriors:

3/10 v. CHI

We had a a tough stretch towards the end of last year, and it seemed to really help the team kick things into gear. At least it's on the back end rather than the front...would suck to have a stretch like that to start the season when the team is still trying to work out the kinks.

[SpursFan86]

16 back-to-backs... smh.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic...

[jsandiego]

I just did a quick review and guesstimated about 63-19 or 62-20. Too ambitious of me?

[BatManu20]

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic...

Very. FIFY.

[TheGreatYacht]

81-1, tbh. We always lose to the Knicks.

[From Downtown]

Might be able to catch at least 20 games,probably more...better than nothing I guess

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I like this schedule: soft start, RRT looks relatively easy, and plenty of tough teams to play to ramp up for the playoffs. That is a perfect schedule for this team.

[Galileo]

Where are the pre-season games????

[jsandiego]

81-1, tbh. We always lose to the Knicks.
80-2. You forgot the Milwaukee Bucks curse.

I like this schedule: soft start, RRT looks relatively easy, and plenty of tough teams to play to ramp up for the playoffs. That is a perfect schedule for this team.

Yeah and in addition to the aforementioned "only" 16 back to backs and no 4 in 5, they're essentially home from April 9 until probably April the 22-23, particularly if seeding is wrapped up going into the finale and they can just rest a bunch of key players.

[apalisoc_9]

Good for a new team.

Gotta gel before playing the good ones

[spurs10]

Pre-season? I know one is October 18 vs Detroit........

[DeRozan m8]

Schedule look solid tbh We'll build up a good amount of wins from the get go

[daslicer]

I actually like this schedule. The first two month's is fairly soft and will give the spurs sometime to develop chemistry. Also the low number of back to backs is great.

[BillMc]

My completely "by the gut" quick scan says 62-20 and I'm usually pretty conservative. Like the schedule. :toast

[Uriel]

Yup, what's what I thought too. That last Dallas game could be a Pelicans redux. Hopefully the Spurs take care of their business early so it doesn't have to come to that.

I think that is where resigning Bonner is really going to help.

Low number of backs to backs along with rest time vs opponent is great. About f-ing time.

[Seventyniner]

I'm calling 65-17 if the Spurs stay healthy. The holdovers are pissed and the new guys are hungry.

No four-in-fives is freaking huge. I can see Duncan and Ginobili playing more games than we might have expected, with slightly fewer minutes in each one.

[T_L_P]

I think we're gonna go 59-23.

You could likely get a package; but not individual tickets yet.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Playing OKC and GSW 3 times each in in the final 30 day is absolute BS. Would've loved to see those matchups a little more spread out as those are usually epic matchups.

Oh well.

[Spurtacular]

Our first home game is against Brooklyn? Really we couldn't get a more interesting/better team for our home opener.

To me, winning is the most important thing about openers. The weaker the team the better, generally speaking.

League more invested in AD this year. Most manipulative league in all of sports, tbh.

[cjw]

NYK, BKN and PHI games all on Mondays. Not ideal for those of us who have to work and want to catch a few northeast games.

Guess I'll have to find a good home B2B to travel to.

And luckily only one B2B out of all the GS/OKC games down the stretch and it's on the road to OKC. I'll take that.

[cd021]

Spurs October/November is very favorable. Should be able to go 13-5 or 14-4 fairly easily

[Spurtacular]

If the Spurs win the opener at OKC, I can see them being 11-0 going into that game at New Orleans.

I just don't see winning more than 55 with all the new faces and the predictable Mills for a Wing mid-season trade.

You really wanted a balanced overall schedule and not this, especially you didn't want that last month before the playoff schedule when you don't have any breathing room, now you can't get ready for the playoff the right way...

[tbdog]

This is a very generous schedule. Maybe the lack of depth won't hurt too much after all.

Our depth is pretty good. I know we are relying on Anderson and Simmons for some backup 3 duties, but I honestly believe Diaw will be used at the 3 in some match ups like against bigger backup 3's like Singler in the Thunder. Also I think Green needs to average low 30's in mins. Overall, I think we are alright at the depth. Our reserve 5 are elite, and probably the best in the league.

[tbdog]

Btw, this is a stretch the heat get. LOL

That video shows SA vs HOU at 8pm on ESPN before the LA duel.
Saw someone mention possibly TNT picking the game up.

[spursistan]

Great schedule overall..pretty much the softish start that we all recommended for a team that will be ironing out things chemistry-wise.Quite reasonable RTT that on paper the Spurs could easily go 6-2 during it..By the time that tough March sledding comes around, we would have already known who we are and pretty much revving up for the Playoffs...

If a mostly healthy Spurs don't mug around early on with scrub teams, i honestly don't see a reason why this team miss out on 60 wins..

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I just don't see winning more than 55 with all the new faces and the predictable Mills for a Wing mid-season trade.

Why do morons on here speculate about us trading the only reliable point guard on the team?!? If we do that, we might as well trade Aldridge and Leonard, hire Duncan into the FO, and start tanking and rebuilding already.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

We only have 8 games instead of 9 on the RRT for the first time in over a half decade, IIRC.

[spursistan]

Obviously now it would be absolutely disappointing/compromising if the Spurs pull a Heatles 2010/2011 season start (9-9), tbh..

[TrainOfThought5]

You guys are either doubting how seamless Lamarcus will fit or the level of our bench talent with David West added. We're gonna win 65+. And we've got a shot at 70.

[Fireball]

My predictions ...

Oct/Nov
The Season start (Oct/Nov) is pretty easy and I expect the Spurs to go 14-4 in that stretch. Losses probably come in the season opener against the Thunder and on the road against New Orleans and Chicago (sadly all these are nationally televised games). Like Spursistan I have scheduled a loss against the Wizards ... its the Spurs 3rd game in 4 nights while Washington had 3 days off. Highlights will be the home games against the Blazers, Grizzlies, Mavericks and Hawks - all wins IMO.

Dec
This month has 16 games scheduled and the Spurs can go 13-3 there. Losses will probably occur in Memphis (b2b) and at the christmas game in Houston (as if we ever win there), the third one might be in Atlanta which is the 2nd night of a b2b. The other opponents are not that interesting, the only highlight I see is the game against the Clips and I guess the Spurs will win that "revenge game" at home.

Jan
Only 13 games in January, but business starts to pick up here. I go with a 10-3 record for the Spurs. They will beat the Rockets at home (2 days rest before this game), but may lose to the Bucks two days later. I just think the Bucks look solid and the Spurs always have some troubles in Milwaukee. As always we play in Detroit on a second night of a b2b, so this is just the game the Spurs lose every season. I see the Spurs win both games against the Cavs as the away game at Cleveland will be a b2b for the Cavs while the Spurs had 2 days rest. The game at Golden State is a toss up, so I go with the home team.

Feb
That month includes the RRT and of course the All-Star break. I see the Spurs winning all six games prior to the break - the only test being the Mavericks in Dallas. After the break, its only 3-3 for the Spurs ... probably losing in LA against the Clips, a b2b in Utah, and in Houston (yes, I have no trust in the Spurs beating the Rockets in Hou). Pretty lackluster month - Spurs go 9-3 (5-3 on the RRT).

Mar
After 3 days of rest Spurs start with a b2b. The second game is in New Orleans, but the Pelicans also play a b2b, so I think the Spurs win it. This will lead into a 13 game winning streak. Many see this month as a tough stretch. Yes it is, but many top teams (OKC, GS, Mem, LAC) will be played at home with enough rest to pull this off. The losses will come at the end of the month - one at Oklahoma (which is a b2b) and then two night later in Memphis. Ok, 14-2 during that stretch sound way too optimistic, but I hope the Spurs engine is running on all cylinders by then.

Apr
In the last 7 games of the season I predict the Spurs going 5-2. This time they win in Utah (2 days of rest before this game), but lose in Golden State. The Nuggets season will be over and so a b2b win in Denver is likely. The Spurs will redeem themselves against the Warriors with a home game win as GS plays the night before in Memphis as well. The Thunder are also on a b2b when visting San Antonio, so that it is another W against a good opponent. The second loss will likely come in the season's last game in Dallas. Its a b2b, starters will hopefully rest ...


That makes a 65-17 overall record which hopefully is enough to secure 1st or 2nd seed in the West.

[SpursFan86]

You guys are either doubting how seamless Lamarcus will fit or the level of our bench talent with David West added. We're gonna win 65+. And we've got a shot at 70.

I don't think you realize how difficult it is to win 65 games, much less 70 :lol To put it into perspective, there have only been 17 teams in NBA history that have won 65+ games, and only the '96 Bulls won 70+.

I don't think 65 wins is out of the question, but it'll be extremely difficult and I think it'd be dumb to bet on that. And acting like 65 wins is the low end prediction is just ridiculous.

I'd be thrilled with anything above 60, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they end up in the 56-58 range.

A good shot at it. I think Warriors fall back to Earth a little trying to repeat, so 62 may be enough for the 1 spot.

Last season they lost their 4th game on December 23rd..now look at that opening 5 games for GS :wow..With no Gentry input and bit of Champion's coasting, they could really get off to a slow start right here..They have bunch of guys, like Draymond green, whom winning a chip will get into their head..Let's face it, last yer title has come relatively easy for them..

My predictions ...

Oct/Nov
The Season start (Oct/Nov) is pretty easy and I expect the Spurs to go 14-4 in that stretch. Losses probably come in the season opener against the Thunder and on the road against New Orleans and Chicago (sadly all these are nationally televised games). Like Spursistan I have scheduled a loss against the Wizards ... its the Spurs 3rd game in 4 nights while Washington had 3 days off. Highlights will be the home games against the Blazers, Grizzlies, Mavericks and Hawks - all wins IMO.

Dec
This month has 16 games scheduled and the Spurs can go 13-3 there. Losses will probably occur in Memphis (b2b) and at the christmas game in Houston (as if we ever win there), the third one might be in Atlanta which is the 2nd night of a b2b. The other opponents are not that interesting, the only highlight I see is the game against the Clips and I guess the Spurs will win that "revenge game" at home.

Jan
Only 13 games in January, but business starts to pick up here. I go with a 10-3 record for the Spurs. They will beat the Rockets at home (2 days rest before this game), but may lose to the Bucks two days later. I just think the Bucks look solid and the Spurs always have some troubles in Milwaukee. As always we play in Detroit on a second night of a b2b, so this is just the game the Spurs lose every season. I see the Spurs win both games against the Cavs as the away game at Cleveland will be a b2b for the Cavs while the Spurs had 2 days rest. The game at Golden State is a toss up, so I go with the home team.

Feb
That month includes the RRT and of course the All-Star break. I see the Spurs winning all six games prior to the break - the only test being the Mavericks in Dallas. After the break, its only 3-3 for the Spurs ... probably losing in LA against the Clips, a b2b in Utah, and in Houston (yes, I have no trust in the Spurs beating the Rockets in Hou). Pretty lackluster month - Spurs go 9-3 (5-3 on the RRT).

Mar
After 3 days of rest Spurs start with a b2b. The second game is in New Orleans, but the Pelicans also play a b2b, so I think the Spurs win it. This will lead into a 13 game winning streak. Many see this month as a tough stretch. Yes it is, but many top teams (OKC, GS, Mem, LAC) will be played at home with enough rest to pull this off. The losses will come at the end of the month - one at Oklahoma (which is a b2b) and then two night later in Memphis. Ok, 14-2 during that stretch sound way too optimistic, but I hope the Spurs engine is running on all cylinders by then.

Apr
In the last 7 games of the season I predict the Spurs going 5-2. This time they win in Utah (2 days of rest before this game), but lose in Golden State. The Nuggets season will be over and so a b2b win in Denver is likely. The Spurs will redeem themselves against the Warriors with a home game win as GS plays the night before in Memphis as well. The Thunder are also on a b2b when visting San Antonio, so that it is another W against a good opponent. The second loss will likely come in the season's last game in Dallas. Its a b2b, starters will hopefully rest ...


That makes a 65-17 overall record which hopefully is enough to secure 1st or 2nd seed in the West.

Really nice break down. :toast Many thanks. I'd live to see the Spurs approach 65-17.

I think you're right that they could have 3 or 4 losses before mid-November. It'd really help the Spurs get out of the gate by comparison.

Now, let's all pray for Spurs health!

[BillMc]

Btw, this is a stretch the heat get. LOL

Jan. 8 at Phoenix
Jan. 9 at Utah
Jan. 11 at Golden State
Jan. 13 at Clippers
Jan. 15 at Denver
Jan. 17 at OKC
Jan. 19 vs. Milwaukee
Jan. 20 at Washington
Jan. 22 at Toronto
Jan. 25 at Chicago
Jan. 26 at Brooklyn
Jan. 29 at Milwaukee
Jan. 31 vs Atlanta
Feb. 2 at Houston
Feb. 3 at Dallas
Feb. 5 at Charlotte

True. But they've got the easiest pre-Christmas schedule in the league per ESPN. It all balances out.

[kobyz]

With unbalanced schedule like this we can be in a problem later, we really need to have a strong start and some great winning stretches before the rude last 30 days, and that's what worry me cause it's not what Pop like to do with his team and moreover now when having a new team together...

[sprrs]

Less back to backs and no 4 in 5? CIA Silver trying to keep Pop from resting the guys? He's learning.

[spursistan]

As much as I want my Spurs to run away with home court throughout with an outstanding reg season record, we are just not that type of team that goes all in in the 82-games slog (big picture and whatnot..),..Even when our core were young and in their prime, Pop never totally invested reg season record chasing a la Phil Jackson where our mid 2000s teams were more than capable to post wins totals in high 60s..

I think Pop will pay more attention to seedings than last year but it won't be at the expense of health and gradual assimilation of new pieces into our team.. I truly believe the team's ceiling is that of 64-67 wins, but if things work out seamlessly for us we will likely be in 60-63 wins range..

[Uriel]

Between winning free agency, winning summer league, and winning a favorable schedule, the Spurs have had just about the most perfect offseason you could dream of.

[bthewigwam]

Anyone seen a good desktop background of the schedule? Thanks.

[wildbill2u]

Has preseason practice started? Does anyone on ST have an "in" there to get some info on the practices. I'm ready for some Bball! Are you Ready?

[spursistan]

bump..

that early softish schedule is a boon looking at the period of adjustment this team will be going through, especially our D...you wouldn't want to stumble out of the block with poor record and play catchup in the West..

[Fireball]

Ok, 14-2 during that stretch sound way too optimistic, but I hope the Spurs engine is running on all cylinders by then.

Apr
In the last 7 games of the season I predict the Spurs going 5-2. This time they win in Utah (2 days of rest before this game), but lose in Golden State. The Nuggets season will be over and so a b2b win in Denver is likely. The Spurs will redeem themselves against the Warriors with a home game win as GS plays the night before in Memphis as well. The Thunder are also on a b2b when visting San Antonio, so that it is another W against a good opponent. The second loss will likely come in the season's last game in Dallas. Its a b2b, starters will hopefully rest ...


That makes a 65-17 overall record which hopefully is enough to secure 1st or 2nd seed in the West.

Holy crap .. I am mad at our losses ... but my predictions were 100% spot on so far

[Spursmania]

Impressive Fireball :bobo

[Fireball]

thanks ... December predictions still look good if the Spurs stay healthy, but perhaps we lose in Toronto instead of Houston.

[TheDoctor]

Damn Fireball, you're our Bran Stark. No shit.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Hope you're just as correct with the remaining games :bobo

[Fireball]

Well, the Spurs fared even better than in my predictions for December going 14-2 instead of 13-3 ... obviously I overestimated Memphis and Atlanta.


For January I predicted a loss in Milwaukee ...lets see how that will work out!

I think the Spurs will beat the Bucks, even without TP. But the Detroit game will be difficult, Drummond is such a beast down low & Jackson has been fantastic for them so far, let's hope for a home team stinker in this one. And i think the Cavs will win one game, as they are now in full strength & healthy. The Spurs will win against the Dubs, but might throw one unexpected game along the way, so yeah, 3 losses seems very probable for January.

Pop will be hacking the heck out of Drummond. He's a 60% shooter in the restricted area and 37% from the line. I imagine Bonner will be active with Boban (Butler and Ray likely inactive, though he could play Ray some given it's a homecoming of sorts and give someone else the night off on a B2B). Bonner stretching the floor and providing six fouls isn't the worst thing in the world to have.

[spursistan]

our schedule before the All star break..

https://i.imgur.com/eWjAn6z.jpg



Hopefully that's not too much rest that would hurt our rhythm before that Dubs game: 3 days between CLE/Dal, 4 days between Dallas and the tanking duo of LAL/Suns and then another 3 days before the big one..

I could see the Spurs sweeping until the Golden State, but knowing this team we will coast to an L in Detroit..
