es! Sup? We Finals bound or what?

4th seed ain't far away. I'd say ceiling is WCF if they add a 3-and-D wing

Let's tap the brakes a bit. We are starting to round into shape undoubtedly, but over the next two weeks, we will be playing last year's WC #1 seed once, last year and this year's EC #1 seed once, last year's EC #2 seed once, and this year's WC #1 seed twice. Plus a couple other playoff contenders. And it doesn't get any easier after that. We get the Thunder twice, and some tough road games and back to backs. This might be our toughest schedule portion of the entire year over the next month.

Point is, since the team is still learning and growing, I wouldn't bet on having too much of a better win percentage in a month than we do now.

Still lowering my expectation to 8th seed and first round exit If Murray and Walker are both healthy and contributing and anchoring the defense, my expectation will be up to WCF. But right now just enjoying the wins.

We will see in a couple of weeks if this team is really capable of beating good teams..
after the wolves game the next 6 games are pretty tough(except maybe clippers).

Last year at this point of the season we are 21-10. I hope those wins will pile up in January and february were last year’s spurs got their losses

me neither. I said ceiling and that only if they add a 3-and-D wing which would be huge. With that being said our schedule gets easier in march/april where we might be able to go on one of those classic Spurs winning streaks

Wow and Spurs barely made the playoffs. Spurs have a higher both offensive and defensive rating at least the last 6 games. We just hope it continues and should get better as the season continues. Tbh those loses to Bulls, Suns, Griz really hurt

[K...]

Eight seed.... Beat the nuggets, beat 4/5..... Then the warriors I guess, then kawhi ..... Snap snap

Agreed. March and April is where the team will really make its seeding push. Until then, they need to at least tread water, as unhappy as that is going to make lots of posters. If they solidify even faster and win 60 or 70% of the games coming up, then the team might have a higher ceiling than I'm giving them the opportunity to achieve at this moment -- and I'm a self proclaimed Spurs-homer.

It seems this team will be better, faster than I expected though.

Or the limit is the sky.

The crazy thing is how big a turnaround both Texas teams have had. Both Houston and us were the 14th seed at one point (thank goodness for Phoenix lol) and yet both the Spurs and Rockets are now in the playoffs. I don't know how long we can sustain this streak and what the ceiling is on the team, but it's going to be an entertaining year bc every game seems so important this year as compared to other years where Pop would throw games. The regular season actually matters again and it's made for a fun, hair pulling experience

if the spurms cant get a legit 3d player to put them over

i suggest either one of the younger players move up a position....its not like spurs need white/murry to be playing pg most of the time in a positionless league today...

[NASpurs]

Chris Paul went out with a hamstring injury. Might move up to 7 tonight.

Either way, doesn't bode well for Houston's longevity. They are just now starting to get things together and looks like they could be without Paul for a good period again.

God I hate watching Harden play...nothing but flopping into players and shooting showboat stepback threes.

Well not only this season but going forward too. The guy is breaking down and that horrendous contract... yikes. They're going to be really ed for a long time.

[r0drig0lac]

Heat with zone def for a few minutes, interesting

[daslicer]

If they avoid playing the Warriors and Rox in round 1 then I think they have a shot at an upset.
