Back at it tonight at home as we face an 11-17 Clippers team that have lost 6 of their last 9, including their last two on the road to Miami and Washington. Kawhi is listed as Probable and Danny as Questionable, but both are expected to play. Gallinari is listed as Out for the Clips, and Rivers Jr. as Questionable. Good chance for us to get another winning streak going as we enter a favorable part of our schedule over the next month. Spurs need to take care of business at home and let's get this thing rollin'. Let's get it.

This is what I'm referring to. Spurs are entering their easiest portion of their schedule this season for the next 4 weeks.

Not as easy as it looks when you consider how a lot of those teams are actually playing good ball right now and the Spurs have been awful on the road. Could easily see the Spurs going something like 13-9 through January.

Not easy, but easier than the rest of the way, at least on paper.

Best team we play is Detroit who are currently 17-13, but have lost 7 of their last 10 (still a solid team though).

Next best are the Blazers, Knicks, and Nuggets who are all slightly above .500. Rest of the teams are all below .500.

The last couple months of our schedule are pretty brutal in comparison.

Need to consider where they play those teams though. Spurs always struggle at Moda Center, Air Canada Center, and MSG while playing at Utah is never easy too (especially on a B2B). Philly is also on a B2B.

Best team they play in that stretch is Cleveland too btw, and they should have IT back by then. Only saving grace for the Spurs in this stretch is having Kawhi back, albeit as has been discussed him being on a minutes restriction and that messing up the SL's rhythm is an issue.

Honestly, even though they have to play GS and Houston three times each after January the fact they only have two B2Bs (one of them being against the Clippers and Lakers in LA) and plenty of 2+ days off between games makes it an easier stretch than what's coming up imo.

I was only referring to the next 4 weeks. We don't play CLE til the 23rd. But yea, that's a fair assessment. Will be interesting to see how they handle it, especially now that Pop's going to be slowly incorporating Kawhi back into the rotation full time. Will help that we're getting Kyle back in a week or two also.

Tbh I just want to see this team at full strength for a stretch, even if it's a short one. Hard to measure us right now with so many guys missing time and our lineup been changing so often.

Spurs had an easy schedule already and the next month looks like a nice stretch to give Kawhi a chance to find his rhythm and condition. Hopefully his playing time rises quickly but Pop will smash my wish I guess.

Good points.
I share this sentiment 1000%. It's good for everyone to have gotten experience and I do hope that pays off in the end with shooters like Bryn and Davis having gotten confident and Dijon "getting better game by game", but truth be told this team shouldn't be playing Bryn Forbes as a wing player for 30 minutes+.

30minutes Bryn has been a result of all of Kawhi, Danny, Kyle injuries.

The team is a lot better than what they were these past couple of weeks when you consider all the run Pop gave the microcombos, Kawhi in injury restrictions and Pau playing like crap.

We haven't really seen this team fully healthy.

Agreed. Our team shooting has been so bad imo that he's won tons of minutes for being able to break the trend. Everyone on the team could be missing the long ball but he has the ability to break the dry spell so coupled with improved d, he's done alright. Bertans also has the ability to break dry spells.

This game should be in the bag regardless.

I am not a fan of the microcombo... Not hating on anybody. While there's too much trolling here, there's also a reactionary crew. Not hating on anyone in particular. Not a fan of the microcombo bc they are a defensive nightmare and offensively most nights they don't offset that since so much goes through the frontcourt anyways.

I figure it can't be helped with 2 wings injured and Dijon in foul trouble. Just not a fan.

Idk if we'll see a ton of it honestly when things matter, but it's nice to see how it does and keep it in the back pocket. Never know when playoffs come and different combos aren't working, going super small/playing faster could be a spark, if even for a couple mins.

Idk if we'll see a ton of it honestly when things matter, but it's nice to see how it does and keep it in the back pocket. Never know when playoffs come and different combos aren't working, going super small/playing faster could be a spark, if even for a couple mins.
You have a good point there.

This is a different scenario. I mean if this was pre season he'd play similar mins, give or take a couple more. Plus Pop is notoriously extra cautious. The fact it took so long for Kawhi to be ready is def a factor.

I am frankly afraid its something else not released... Like that having been a chronic overuse injury and him maybe being vulnerable to a recurrence. I had never seen him in such minutes micromanaging when coming back from injury b4. Tonys hammy was completely ruptured and He's 10 years older with a ton of mileage. He's managed to come back quicker in minutes too.

Some guys heal quicker/differently than others. I worry too maybe it was worse and could happen again, but hopefully that's not the case.

I just think they're gonna take it slow. I think TP was similar his first 5 games or more he played only the 1st half. He hasn't played competitively in like 7 months. I think if he's still playing super limited by mid-january then its like ok, wtf lol
