I'm iffy on the Chicago game, but I'll say it's a W since Noah will still be out with injury. Could also pick up an L to the Hornets.

In the Road games: 9-3 with loses to Utah and Chicago, and some random sub-500 team we shouldn't lose to. We'll win that game against Houston, so 10-3 over that stretch.

lol 3 straight B2Bs with a 4-in-5 in the mix :lmao Guess it's our turn to be screwed by the schedule. At least they get a 4-day break in there, too.

Upsets can happen anywhere, but the Spurs should be able to do this:

Sat 22 @ New Orleans W
Mon 24 @ Golden State W
Wed 26 @ Utah W
Sat 29 vs Houston W
Tue 01 @ Portland W
Thu 03 @ LA Lakers L
Fri 04 @ Sacramento W
Tue 08 @ Detroit W
Wed 09 @ Toronto W
Fri 11 @ Philadelphia L (Spurs always struggle here)
Sat 12 @ Washington W
Mon 14 @ New Jersey W
Thu 17 @ Chicago L

8-4 would be nice!

4 losses

we will lose 1 vs. Utah, Houston or Portland
lose 1 vs. Lakers
lose 1 vs. Kings or Pistons
lose 1 vs. Philly or Chicago

we've had a relatively easy schedule (not too many back to backs, what not) so far...

10 and 3. Spurs will beat the Lakers again but lose a game they should have won easily probably due to fatigue.

record prediction: 11-2.

The most sure loss on the board is to the lakers.

10-3

NO: just have a fealing they'll want to kick our ass after whaty happened the last time.

LA: are they going to play low IQ offense where Kobe jacks up insansely dumb shots, or are they going to pound it down low? i think they learn their lesson from last game. although i think it'll be close.

Detroit: Charlie V can potentially give the Spurs match up problems. we suck at guarding players who come off a lot of screens (ie Ray Allen and Kevin Martin), and Detroit has Gordon and Hamilton, both of whom make their money doing that.

WE should be able to win all of these but since this is no perfect world i say we win all but 2.

I predict all wins. Why should I predict a loss? If it's up for grabs, I will take the win.

10-5.

I will add that I think we'll lose one game on the long east coast swing, not sure which, but I picked the Washington game because it is the 2nd of a b2b right near the end of the trip, so we will be tired, and they like to run.

this is like an extended RT, with that Houston game in the middle!! 14 out of 15 net games are as visitors!!!

11-4 over the 15 games, with losses @NO, @UTA, @LAL, and @CHI, so 7-2 for the RRT, and 9-4 for the 13-game stretch.

This looks like one of the easiest RRTs ever; one elite team (LAL), one good team (CHI), one decent team (POR), and a bunch of bad lottery teams.

Ok, after seeing the Bobcats go into Chicago tonight, go 0-13 from 3 and still win, I revise my prediction to 8-7.

No shit. We're going to drop 133% of the games (8) we lost in the first 41 in the next 15? Hope he doesn't break his legs jumping off.

13-1, 12-2 at the worst.

TWO fucking people picked us to lose to Sacto? WTF? And why are people afraid of Portland?

We could not beat Portland last season when the Blazers had multiple important players missing due to injury. Currently the Blazers still are missing people, but they still win games - especially at home. Our win this season against the Blazers was solid, but nothing else.

Also interesting will be the final meeting with the Hornets - they are out of their slump in December.

ok, just read that Marcus Camby will have knee surgery, i.e. it will be a little easier against the Blazers ... but only a little

Red - Apples and Oranges.....

Blue - Sooo a solid win against Portland is cause to believe that they will drop the next one?

Green - Agree. If the Spurs don't show up for that one, they'll get their asses handed to them. To bad its on the wrong end of a B2B. That scenario might just play out.

It's the wrong end of a B2B and the 3rd road game in 4 nights.

Optimist, 11-2. Pessimist, 8-5. So anything in beetween for me.

Yup...the Spurs will win all of those games. :hat

I'll say 9-4 and hope for better. That's a lot of time on the road for a team that's played 7 more home games than road ... 9 more by the end of the week.
