I’m thinking Spurs go 1-2 this week.

[RC_Drunkford]

They probably beat the Rockets and Clippers and then lose to the Nets. They could also go 0-3, you just never know with this team

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

No Lonnie tonight means the Spurs probably lose by 15-20. A challenging week. Hopefully we won't be 10-18 when the week ends.




I'm worried we'll be 10-18 when the week ends.

[RC_Drunkford]

Lonnie is playing tonight

[Robz4000]

0-3 imo

[JeffDuncan]

0-1 so far.

The Spurs should have a good chance against the Nets. Murray and White can guard Dinwiddie as well as anybody can. Their center, Allen, has some talent, but he's very young, not heavy, and he has no 3pt shot at all. Through 26 games he attempted a grand total of 1 3pt shot; missed it. So, no concern about perimeter defense against him. The main danger is that whoever Forbes is trying to guard will score 100 points. But I tend to think the Spurs will win it.

Forecast: 1-1.

the Spurs couldn't even beat the Cavs at home on their 3rd game in 4 nights while having 6 days off. They don't have a good chance against anybody. You just gotta hope they somehow win

[JeffDuncan]

Next, the Clippers. Hm, is all I have to say. Except, it's possible.

[alpha_HaZE]

It looks like we go 1-2, but after that we need to go for a nice run

[slick'81]

Kawhi doesnt win in sa right?

[JeffDuncan]

I think the Spurs have a fair chance at handling Kawhi, enough anyway. Murray, Derrick, and Lonnie can slow him down - and even Patty can be a pest - and Poeltl can be a strong backstop.

But who's going to handle Paul George then? Rudy? DeRozan? That could spell the difference, whether the Spurs can handle George, when both Leonard and George are in the game.

And I suppose we'll see Forbes assigned to guard Sweet Lou out at the arc. Oh, gosh.

But it's not hopeless. Only difficult.

[RC_Drunkford]

DeRozan has actually done a pretty good job on PG13 since he got here
