Alright at least our team isn't the only one going on the road.
Bring it on! We got a few cold blooded assassins ready for action.
It will tell a lot. That's a lot of road games.
I think the road games will help solidify the chemistry of the team
Good thing we play alot of sorry teams. If not we might not make the POs.
Interestingly the Spurs have almost identical winning percentages on the road vs. home this year. If the Spurs can somehow manage to continue winning 2/3 of their road games they'll be in great shape.
For the most part, we aren't at much of a disadvantage.
Spurs in fine shape on way to their annual 55+ wins. Mark it down.
