I say we will Probably Go 4-2 down the stretch.... 51 wins aint bad
Had serious doubts that the streak continuing would be possible 15 days ago, but with improbable wins at Boston, at LA, and home win against the best team in the NBA, the Cavs, the Spurs have real shot at making that 50 win plateau for their 13th straight year, just one off the NBA record.
Currently 47 wins, they need 3 more.

Looks like 50 is very easily done. If they can maintain this level of play, I don't see why they can't win out. The Suns and the Nuggets don't worry me, but I think it's more important for confidence and momentum to beat the Mavs.
I don't feel good about this last stretch at all.
With Hill out, we needed to play Ginobili 37 minutes, Tim 37 minutes (because those two work phenomenally together) to bust out this win against L.A., because we needed Ginobili's playmaking abilities in the absence of a true point guard.
We...can't do that anymore. I know Ginobili stepped it up fourth quarter and went into super manu mode, but you could clearly tell he was very very ing tired.
I think our best shot is to win a game against Sacramento and then semi-fold against the much more elite Suns team (obviously if you're looking at it from a "we need wins to stay in 7th seed or move up" perspective, you want to take your chances with the lesser teams to get your wins)
Spurs may get to 50 but I can see them laying a couple of eggs=losses along the way.
Blazers have the easiest schedule..don't see them in the 8th spot (with the tiebreaker against us). We have to hope for at least a tie with OKC.
Why do people care about 50 wins? The LOB is all that matters.
No lol
Also, damn that Nets loss![]()
cuz then the mavs fan will have something new to say against us
"more 50 win seasons in a row got"
4 games in 5 nights coming up. thats tough
no george hill~ damn
we have to rely more on manu and also MONEYMASE to step up
The only game left that I really don't see how the Spurs can win is at Phoenix on the second night of a back-to-back with no point guards.
Is Hill really out for a while? The sprain did not look that bad when it happened, the foot barely turned at all, I have done a lot worse than that and I am old.![]()
He was on crutches after the game and the team sent him back to SA where he will get an MRI today.
He couldn't put weight on it and had to leave with crutches.![]()
Spurs.com twitter said he's def. out Tues and Wed.
We are one loss away from catching Dallas and playing for the division le in the last game of the season.
All the Spurs have to do is beat Phoenix and Denver and it's on.
Actually, SA would have tiebreaker there.
No jinx!
If anyone else had started this thread I'd be all gung-ho. However once upon a time the OP was the king of the jinx thread around here.
dallas- loses to portland, sac, b2b and then to the spurs at the end of the season
denver- loses to lakers, spurs and phoenix
utah- loses to okc, houston and gs.
suns- lose to spurs, okc, utah
okc- loses to portland
spurs win out and they are second place
Could happen.
Lakaluva will take a Spurs avy of my choosing if we win 50. I've been looking around but I haven't found the right one yet. Suggestions are welcome.
My jinxing curse is over...I am a good luck charm nowadays.
48 down, 2 more to go.
Doubt It.... I can See Maybe A 4 seed.... Id Prefer 2, 3, 6, 7 seed anyway..... We Avoid The lakers for the 1st 2 rounds, we can get Healthy And get Some chemistry Goin with Tony Just Comin Back, and Gettin G.Hill Back. Should Be Very interesting Down the stretch.
