Back to Backs Analysis: Should Spurs Fans Worry?

We should be worried that we don't have Bruce anymore.

I dont think it will come to that though. I honestly think that a lineup featuring Duncan/Parker/Jefferson or Ginobili/Parker/Jefferson will win 2/3 games. If we get 23 wins out of those 34 games, and keep everyone healthy? I'll take it in a heartbeat.

If Houston had WON that game last year, we would have dropped from 3 to 5. Much harder to win from the bottom half of the draw. I can only think of that one Rockets team that did it. I think you MUST be in the 1-3 seeds and healthy. If either one of those conditions aren't met, you're fucked.

Look, I'm not saying don't sit them sometimes on B2Bs. I just think it's silly to automatically sit Tim and Manu on every B2B when it may not be necessary. I think you evaluate the B2B, and what's around it on the schedule in terms of rest or other games, and then you make your decision. I just think it's playing scared and possibly sacrificing games unnecessarily to sit them JUST because it's a B2B. I also think you vastly overestimate the win % without Tim those 17 games.

What from my post makes you think that Tim's going to be sitting out? I say he'll start all but about three games this year, and his minutes will be down, and those minutes will be very productive.

Nice thread and research Fred. It's really good to see a post when someone takes the time and effort to do an analysis right. My hat's off to you...

Best, Bill

Thanks Bill, glad you enjoyed it.
