Predict Spurs 2016 Rodeo trip record..

[spursistan]

Spurs will be without Manu, but news of Timmy nearing a comeback should be a boost to our defense (Parker said it could happen as early as the Florida trip)..Not that difficult slate of games with 3 soft B2Bs set..


Feb 9 @ Miami L
Feb 10 @ Orlando W
Feb 18 @ Los Angeles Clippers W
Feb 19 @ Los Angeles Lakers W
Feb 21 @ Phoenix W
Feb 24 @ Sacramento W
Feb 25 @ UTAH L
Feb 27 @ Houston W

W-L= 6-2

W-L= 6-2

Trap games are @ Orlando, @ Clips, @ sactown, @ Houston

This is a pretty tough stretch, I would say 6-2 sounds about right, dont see us going 8-0

[Kikoluna]

6-2

[RD2191]

8-0. Next.

[SAGirl]

I see us 6-2 as well, mostly bc these games are on the road and the bench without Manu will need to step up. Patty and Danny need to continue shooting well and on the road they are unpredictable.

We need production from Simmons and Anderson and they will be up and down from game to game. Boris needs to increase his production. Overall a 6-2 record and no injuries is good.

Getting Tim back will be huge!

All those teams are either near implosion or shorthanded :lol. while both Heat and Jazz have played far better as they got healthy..Clippers will be without Blake and our PGs-killer Auscrub Rivers..Spurs will go all in with the B2B being in the same building vs Lakers..

[Budkin]

6-2

[BatManu20]

5-3 or 6-2.

[Horse]

Theres really no argument to us going 8-0 but things never work that way so i'll say 7-1.

[From Downtown]

Yeah 6-2

Way the Spurs have looked as of late, a .500 trip wouldn't surprise me. However, if Tim comes back to start it and the defense responds like I hope, all the games are winnable.

[wingster]

7-1

The way we looked as of late?... 8-2 in our last 10 with the only two losses coming to the teams with the best and third best record in the league, both games on the road? I swear some of you guys just sniff glue all day. We have a letdown game against the Lakers after demolishing the Mavs by 40 and yall are cliffjumping. Any other year and we are games ahead of the next closest team in the standings. But since the Warriors are having an all time season, you cliff jump if we dont demolish every opponent by 20+ points.

They've looked mediocre against generally bad opponents outside that first half against Dallas. While LMA and Kawhi have shined offensively, everyone has looked bad on defense. Tony has also looked bad on both ends. The schedule is about to amp up, so if these issues aren't fixed soon that record is gonna turn ugly ala the 2011 team.

[TMTTRIO]

Fine, but what did you expect? That they'd go coast to coast at an unsustainable pace? Lulls are inevitable in an 82 game season, for a myriad of reasons. The Warriors had one a few weeks back and they'll have another one at some point before the season ends.

I could see the blowout losses to the Warriors/Cavs coming a mile away and I wasn't the least bit surprised to see a close game against the Lakers after destroying the Mavs.

The Florida back to back will be tough. The Heat are in "we need to prove to ourselves we're better than middle of the pack" mode and the Magic are overdue for a good stretch. A lot of times, it's not who you play, but when you play them.

[SupremeGuy]

8-0. Next.:flag:

This lull has been happening since New Years tbh. Offensively the team has been getting better thanks to LMA finding his groove, but the defense just hasn't looked good. This trend notably coincides with Tim starting to struggle and his time off. Hopefully he comes back fresh and ready to go the rest of the way, but if he looks the same as he did when these struggles began, I just don't think the team can get to the level they need to.

[jhfenton]

Par for this team should be 6-2.

But I'll predict a birdie and 7-1.

It was inevitable. The defense was playing at an unsustainable level and being aided by the weakest schedule in the league and pristine health.

When Duncan comes back, as long as he looks like himself, they'll put together a good stretch defensively and when they do, the offense will predictably struggle because it'll be due.

[TXstbobcat]

5-3

[look_at_g_shred]

7-1 the clips loss is a given tbh

[daslicer]

5-3

[Sean Cagney]

6-2

[SpursFan86]

I'll go with 7-1

[TrainOfThought5]

Just because theres a hole in the boat doesnt mean you abandon ship. Hes got a point. 7-1

[Darius Bieber]

0-8 tbh

[larrychen21]

7-1 or better

[T Park]

8-0. All of the teams on that list are mediocre at best.

[kjhip1]

7-1 sounds about right

[UNT Eagles 2016]

4–4

[itzsoweezee]

Depends how much Duncan misses. I'd guess 7-1 or 8-2

[SpursIndonesia]

5-3 would be par for the course, 6-2 would be satisfactory, 7-1 would be great, and 8-0 would be amazing -though very unlikely with no Manu, offensively struggling Leonard, & still gimped Duncan.

[houston spurs fan]

6-2. I'm ok with a loss against the Clips as I'm holding out hope they can get the 3rd seed...

Since the New year started, he has come down to earth a bit; however, you can see how it's still there as evident against the Mavs. As for the Lakers, we can chalk it up to a B2B. Having said all that, with LMA coming around, the team doesn't have to rely on Kawhi getting 20+ to win although it would be nice!

Heat close game with a day off today we pull it off.
Clippers I don't think Pop is going to match the NBA IQ wits of Doc Rivers. Again.
Lakers Pop will continue to slobber Kobes knob.
Phx is tanking below the Lakers. Go Phoenix!
At Utah this is gonna be a physical game but Spurs respond.

I have to clarify that an offensively struggling Leonard is still the BEST Spur on the court, the way his defense is still up to par, the DPOY level. And yes, this is just basically a statistical correction of his early season rampage. Without it, we will still be a strong road team, but not really a historical monster ala this season Warriors.

6-2 but different looses..

It is also possible that we drop one of the last two to Utah or Houston, or both. I don´t see the team very solid lately.

[8FOR!3]

I think and hope we're coasting a little bit and that's why we're struggling some with bad teams. Our defense has been shit and you've got to think that our defense doesn't get THAT bad just because Duncan's out. I'm guessing 7-1.

[San Antonio Slayer]

7-1 loss to Hou

[Darius Bieber]

If we can barely beat the worst team in the Western Conference at home, there's no way we go above .500 on the trip..

[NameLess Scrub]

5-3 Clippers are playing well without Blake, and CP3 will own the Spurs again. Other 2 are Miami and Houston.

[mando6599]

7-1

Here, here!

[Cry Havoc]

7-1 the clips loss is a given tbh

We'll rip them apart with no Blake. Means our D can key on Jordan and Paul. Stick Leonard or Green on Paul, the other on Redick with orders to stay at home, and win by 20.

L in Orlando and Utah

6-2

[will_spurs]

Why complicate things: 8-0.

[wingster]

I think the "best" chance for a loss is at Orlando

[Pauleta14]

3(!) back 2 back is scary tbh, so many unpredictable factors (rest, DG&Patty 3s, opponent doing off or not...)

I'm looking forward LMA evolution into our go-to guy with Kawhi and the emancipation (or not) of the bench without Manu.

I see 2 losses, 1 against either MIA/ORL and the other against Houston for the last game of the rodeo trip.

6-2 at worst.

[mexicanjunior]

4-4...5-3 if Duncan looks healthy coming back.

[spursistan]

Officially two trap games in Florida: Miami lost at home to Clippers on Sunday; they will come motivated.. Magic just won home-and-home B2B vs the Hawks after blowing a win in OKC while being quite competitive against us a week ago..

[KenziE]

Why is everyone sayin we gonna lose to the heat man the spurs are gonna bounce back from that horrible game against LaL book it

I'll be at the Orlando game. My first time seeing us play in person and I've been a fan every since '09. We're going to go up early and wait outside of the hotel before the guys leave for the game, in hopes of getting a few autographs. I'm pretty excited and will count that game as an automatic win.

[silverblackfan]

8-0. Historically great RRT, Pop quits because the team just doesn't need him anymore. Manu takes another month rest. Tim takes over pointguard duties while Tony takes a break.

Called it tbh

[Dex]

Nailed it again. :claw

Pretty easy to call this year tbh, given the respective records of the opponents. Glad Spurs were able to take care of business on the road.

[silverblackfan]

Even if they didn't go 8-0, I am a very pleased fan. Team looks better than when the trip started.

[Beaverfuzz]

One loss, nothing wrong with that. Even Golden Taint couldn't go undefeated in their long road trip earlier this year.

[wildbill2u]

I was waaaay off in my prediction because of the absence of Tim and Manu and Pops feeling about regular season. I never thought we'd go 7-1. Good road trip.
