Any predictions fellas? I’m dreading a 1-3 week.

[slick'81]

1-3 easy

[spurspl]

1-3 or 0-4

[itzsoweezee]

0-4, assuming popovich does not make any drastic lineup changes, which I'm certain he won't

[RC_Drunkford]

0-4

[Realdeal1]

2-2

[JeffDuncan]

The Bucks, um. Moving on...

The Keltics, um. Again. Moving on...

Anybody have a ray gun that works against big, mean, green things? Gonna need it.

The Grizz, will want payback. Tough game, I anticipate.

The Raps are worth talking about. Their guards, Lowry and VanVleet, are short. Murray, White, and Lonnie could give them a hard time. Maybe Pop will forget he has Forbes and Mills available. Anyway, this one is not impossible.

I'll be bold, brave, and foolish, and guess 2-2.

[phxspurfan]

0-4 and by an embarrassing margin

[phxspurfan]

The Raps are worth talking about

Siakam and Anunoby, Gasol if playing always puts up numbers against us

[BillMc]

2-2

[cd021]

I could see the Spurs beating the Raps without Gasol and Pascal and losing to the Grizzlies. That would be the most 2020 Spurs thing to happen.

[slick'81]

:lol Spurs obviously catch a break if raps frontcourt is out

[Prime BEEF]

0-4

[DPG21920]

1-3

[JeffDuncan]

Siakam and Anunoby, Gasol if playing always puts up numbers against us

Siakam is out, and still "a ways away" from returning, as of two days ago.

Gasol is out, and may return "sometime in January."

[SPURt]

Surprise surprise pee in our pessimistic eyes

[stu scotts eye]

This next 8-10 game stretch will huge. Can easily go at least .750 and jump several spots.

[siraulo23]

Impressive 3-1

[boutons_deux]

yes, 3-1 is wonderfully surprising.

MIA has best home record, 17-1, looks like something the Spurs used to do.

[DavidTheGoliath]

:lol

[phxspurfan]

0-8. Each loss will count as double

[JeffDuncan]

Miami twice, Atlanta, and Phoenix comin' up.

[offset formation]

yes, 3-1 is wonderfully surprising.

MIA has best home record, 17-1, looks like something the Spurs used to do.

They seem to have our number lately. I was at the game in SA last season (DWade's final game in SA), and they just seemed faster, quicker, better, more athletic at every phase and position of the game.

Butler is a clear upgrade over last season Wade, and it's in their house...put this one in the L column, unfortunately.

How fucking retarded are you to post that after they go 3-1?

Heat have the best home record, but also a negative road record. I expect Spurs to lose there and then win the home game

[slick'81]

I expected 2-2 at best but hey! spurs are playing better

[spurs10]

Not many would have picked the Grizz even if they knew we went 3-1. More to the point 1-4 was probably more the universal thought.
:flag:

[paperboy77]

I'm calling it... Spurs go at least 60% for the rest of the year.

:donkey Almost did that. I take it back.

Once you go homer,you cant go back

[talkspurs]

Impressive 3-1

If you would have said loss to the giz I would have been impressed.

[tonski17]

3-1, 3 wins against playoff teams. Go Spurs GO!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Miami twice, Atlanta, and Phoenix comin' up.

I'm hoping we can split with Miami, and beat ATL and PHX. One of those last two has letdown game written across it, so likely 2-2. Our Jeckyll and Hyde tendencies scare me from being more optimistic. Love the 3-1 week last week though, and the Grizz are on fire but we still played them fairly tough.

Yeah, 3-1 with a loss away at Miami looks like a likely outcome; it would be very 2020 Spurs though, to beat Miami both times then drop a game to Atlanta, since they have a really young and fast team.
