They need to win against Portland, Sacramento and both Games against OKC. 4-4 is enough for the Roardtrip. It will close the gap to the 7th Seed significantly (4 game swing), and as long as memphis does not go 7-1 or 8-0, they will not be to far ahead.

6-2 at minimum imo.

[gospursgojas]

Is Kawhitter managing his load tomorrow?

Clippers don't play today or Tuesday so I expect to see Kawhi and PG13 in full force.

[boutons_deux]

a WC trip only? no EC?

Agreed. I'd be happy with 4-4 if the 4 wins come against Portland, Sacramento and OKC.

[SpurPadre]

Just beat got tomorrow and lose every game after for the lottery, tbh.

7th seed lol ur hilarious...okc needs to lose 6 games with spurs losing zero not happening

[cd021]

I see a 1-5 record before the All-Star break. Knowing the Spurs, they'll lose to Sacramento and Portland and murder both LA teams.

Normally i would agree with you, but they play 2 times against OKC. So they can help themselves. Also the season is still long enough to make up it up. A minor 6-0 or 5-1 could already help.
I know its unlikely but not impossible, as long Forbes does not play.

[emanueldavidginobili]

2-6 tbh

[RC_Drunkford]

We can all be happy if they don't go on an 8 game losing streak. Certainly won't come back with a positive record. 4-4 is super optimistic. What they really need to do is trade the garbage for a starter

[Genovaswitness]

can't wait for kawhi to get a 40+ point triple double

hope he ing embarrasses this "team"

You are probably right, but that's a tall order. If we can split and close strong post AS weekend we still might have a shot.

[Degoat]

Here’s hoping Kawhi’s quad explodes tomorrow

[Leetonidas]

2-6 on the RRT imo and that's being generous

[spurs1990]

I believe Forbes's time is either done or will dwindle during this trip. The evidence from the Charlotte game is too damning to overlook for the head coach. Let us expect the Spurs to come out of the trip with several unexpected wins.

This guy!

[paperboy77]

Was there ever another one of these RRT that meant so much? I mean this is it. It's a 9/10 type schedule and the ultimate test for this team. Honestly you couldn't ask for a better challenge. Either we're a legit team or we're not.

Go! ing Spurs! Go!

[slick'81]

3-5 but 4-4 is a possibility

Bro, the evidence has been damning all season. The starters literally outplayed the Bucks in their house the one game Lonnie started and Poop went right back to him the very next game. The make a wish got isn't going anywhere. All he has to do is hit a couple shots early on or the team has to be within striking distance (not getting blown out) and Brent gets his guaranteed minutes. Defense doesn't matter with him because he's undersized and noone tries harder.
