RRT Record History
==============
2003: 8 - 1 (L @MIN, then 7 straight W)
2004: 7 - 1

[Supergirl]

6-1. If they lose, I think it will either be to Washington, because it's a back to back, or to Seattle - but I hope they don't lose this one. They have to figure out a way to stop Seattle.

[carolgino]

if so,that would be perfect

but maybe i can't see any of them if unlucky..

[travis2]

What's a roat trip? Are you fantasizing about a road trip with a goat or something?

[IX_Equilibrium]

6-1

[boutons]

"What's a roat trip? "

it's when your fingers burp.

I fixed it but not sure editing the subject after posting really works.

[Useruser666]

7-0

[Slo spurs fan]

5-2 :depressed

[manustarting2gd]

6-1 in my mind but I could see a L at Washington, or Seattle. My outside concern is Miami. I think the Spurs may end up 5-2 as well. I wouldnt mind being suprised.

[Jimcs50]

Please!!!

We are not finished with our Jan prediction contest, which it looks like I will win....as usual. :smokin

[Slo spurs fan]

Jim remember, I was the first to predict 10-3!

[carolgino]

hmm,6-1,maybe it will be to Miami or Washington

[Jimcs50]

Jim remember, I was the first to predict 10-3!


You did not get dibs on that prediction...more than one person can pick it you know. :lol

You must be a genius too, btw. :smokin

Yea I know :lol

Hell YEA! :smokin

[Extra Stout]

6-1. New Jersey will be the third game in four nights, and they will be gassed.

I think they'll handle Miami as long as T-Mass doesn't get into foul trouble.

They really need to beat Seattle for once.

[CHAMPS AGAIN]

4 and 3 on road trip. 20 or more threads on why the SPURS won't win the title or how many trades we have make. yada,yada,yada. After every lost.


SPURS 2005 CHAMPS

[mrblonde17]

I'd love to go for a 7-0, but those back-to-backs are hell. I think a 6-1 would be a successful road trip. Maybe a loss to Miami; without Hughes, I don't think the Wizards will touch us.

[boutons]

Hey, Jimbo, start your own thread about Jan, or re-fresh the original Jan predict thread.

[waly.mg]

If we Beat Sonics at Home 7-0
If not 5-2

[Kori Ellis]

Even though the games are pretty spread out on this trip, it's the first time that the Rodeo Road Trip is entirely before the All-Star break. There's usually some games before and some games after, so the players get a big break. I think they'll go 6-1.

[BigVee]

Theri road record to date...about .600 would indicate 4-3, however with more time in between games, maybe 5-2, 6-1.

[boutons]

The Spurs road record against top teams:

@ L.A. Lakers W 105 - 96
@ Seattle L 94 - 113
@ Memphis L 90 - 93
@ Dallas W 107 - 89
@ Houston L 80 - 81
@ Orlando L 87 - 93
@ Sacramento L 81 - 86
@ Houston L 67 - 73
@ Phoneix W 128 - 123
@ Sacramento W 103 - 73
=========================

4 - 6 on the road against top teams.

Opportunities to fix it up:

Mon 31 @ Seattle
Thu 3 @ L.A. Lakers
Wed 9 @ Washington
Sun 13 @ Miami

It would so sweet to go up to 8 - 6 against seeded teams.

[exstatic]

7-0 is my pick. I think they are sick of losing to what is proving to be a chimera of a team: Seattle.

There's usually some games before and some games after, so the players get a big break.
Kori - There is actually going to be a 4 day break in there. They play LA on Thursday the 3rd, and will probably fly back after the game, giving them F,S,S,M to rest or practice, before flying out to Charlotte for a night game on Tuesday the 8th to play the East coast leg of the trip. They should be well rested for that 3 games in 4 nights stretch.

[Kori Ellis]

Yeah I know about the 4 day break, and of course they'll come home. But the "normal" break is about 7 days. There's a difference.

[boutons]

Doesn't Pop hate too many days off? the guys getta out rythym, get rusty and dusty. Remember the long delays last season in the playoffs?

[td4mvp21]

7-0
I think the Spurs will step it up like they always do. Our biggest threats are of course Seattle and Miami. We NEED to beat them.

[SequSpur]

1 and 6

[T Park]

7-0


Spurs do come home after the Laker game.

They are having some team GTG at Dave and Busters on Saturday.

[atlfan25]

7 wins, 0 losses :hat

[milkyway21]

w/ Dwyne Wade healthy,& if TP has a night off, Miami, probably. But w/ Rasho, that will be a lesser ShaQ on TD's shoulders...
7-0.

[boutons]

"Spurs do come home after the Laker game."

More coming home than that, from Express-News:

"seven consecutive road games divided into three trips."

[IceColdBrewski]

4-3

[Jimcs50]

6-1

lose at Miami or Washington

[td4mvp21]

^if i had to choose one of those, i would want it to be a loss at washington

[Rummpd]

Honestly this road trip is set up nice.

If Spurs get first win Monday, can beat every team going into Miami with ease as I think recent debacles on road will end.

I was going to go 6 and 1 but going to be a homer = 7 and 0.

MadDoc

[fonzy16]

7-0

[Manu20]

7-0

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

My heart says 7-0, my head says somewhere between 4-3 and 6-1 (with Washington, Seattle, and Miami being the most likely culprits).

We'll know a lot about how it's all gonna go by the Seattle game. If Tim plays soft there, we're screwed.

That Washington game could bite us in the rear as it's on the second night of a back to back.

Don't think I need to elaborate on the Miami game.

If we go 7-0 start getting ready for the river parade.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I guess when your team sucks donkey balls you have to bandwagon and hope for another team to do what yours can't.

Sucks to be you wolves009.

[Duff McCartney]

7-0.

[Experiment2100]

7-0 baby prob. 6-1 but I'm going 7-0




My prediction - 3-4 :elephant :angel

Damn even the troll gives us more wins than Sequ.

[Spurzilla]

(seeding, info, vs. Spurs W-L, Natl. TV)

7 road games, one B2B, in 17 days.
I homerly predict: 7 - 0 :)


LOL - I have to agree with you. The B2B is sandwiched between plenty of rest days. The real trick is not to succumb to rust because of the rest. Spurs can pull it off, though. 7-0 in Jan.

[sa_butta]

6-1 loss to Miami
toward the end of the trip

[Boulevard1]

5-2 and I wanna be wrong

[td4mvp21]

Seattle will kick your spursy butts once more! Yes! I expect TD stopper (Fortson for you noobies) to silence your beloved 2-time MVP!!

My prediction - 3-4 :elephant :angel

:rolleyes
Silly Wolves009, Trix are for kids!!

[boutons]

Sequ Shit is worse than the trolls.

[pooh]

5-2 sounds about right

[ducks]

spurs beat sonics
6-1
they will beat heat
lose to some bad team

if spurs lose to sonics 5-2

[ducks]

1 and 6

I think you got your numbers backyards
:lol

Ok, now in order for me to win this contest too, the Spurs will have to win at Miami on Sunday.

TD, you better get your ass in gear, man.

[manustarting2gd]

6-1 in my mind but I could see a L at Washington, or Seattle. My outside concern is Miami. I think the Spurs may end up 5-2 as well. I wouldnt mind being suprised.
