It's now the Spurs' turn to get their easy schedule, and not have back to backs against Utah and Phoenix, etc.....which should be able to rack up a lot in the win column, and end all the criticism. Not saying they'll win ALL these games, but they should win the majority of them. Coming up for SA:
Wizards, Magic, Heat, Nets, Pistons, Nuggets, Hawks, Sonics, Raptors, Magic again, Rockets, Clippers, Blazers, Kings, Nets again, Clippers again, Bucks, Celtics, Pacers, Pistons, Sonics, Warriors, Hornets, with their next real game being March 30 vs the Utah Jazz.
Pistons might be the only good team on this list. Rockets, well, maybe, but without any wild fluke shots by McGrady, we should be able to beat them. But look at the rest of the teams. Perfect opportunity to pull it together in time for April...

if we lose 3 games in that run, this team definitely sucks
HCA seems very desperate for us now with a ageing bench
That post about me not watching anymore was clearly sarcastic to show most people what they sound like regarding the Spurs.I thought you stopped watching?
Yes it was cleary sarcastic, what with you changing your tone and facial expressions.
I hope we lose every game.
no
I beg to differ. The Spurs could just as easily lose their next 3-5 games on the road. The Blizzards, Magic, Heat, Nets and Pistons will all present a formidable challenge for them - despite having a 5-day break to rest old legs.
"5-day break"
.... usually means the Spurs come out "rusty" for next 3 or 4 games
12-6 over that run...
This Wiz game will be tough, they should come out of the East with the maturity of Arenas. Pistons are really picking up steam. Bucks are getting Michael Redd back (they were playing pretty darn well with him). Magic are playing very badly in the recent stretch so they MAY be wins. The Rockets? Well, they're right on our heels...k'd our A last time out...
6-12 is more likely.
That pretty much sums up the Spurs problems this season.
Almost all those are playoff teams in the East. What are you talking about "Easy?"
The Eastern Conference is easy. Even though the Spurs are having a pretty bad season, there's not an East team that can say they're playing better basketball than SA. West teams can say that, but not East.
The Heat are not so easy anymore, my friend.
o? we don't have a bench. A team without a bench could lose to the Hawks any given day.
Wiz are 19-5 at home. The Spurs would kill for that record.
Solids points...can't argue with that...
when Wiz lose at home, they get blown out. Hope tonight is one of those.
Wow, what a tough game against the Wizards huh. What was the final score again? 135-70 Spurs or something like that.
Well the "Blizzards" presented no challenge for them. Those old legs ran a basketball clinic for the Wizards last night. Magic, Heat, and Nets? Magic might present a challenge for SA if it is 1993. Heat might give us a challenge if Shaq is 100% which is never almost. I have never seen Wade do anything spectacular vs. the Spurs. Nets? Enough said. Pistons are the only ones out East even close to playing at the level of any West playoff team.
Most of those games won't be terribly hard. Some of those teams are struggling mightily, like the Nets. Orlando and Miami, while strong EC teams, aren't nearly as good as the Spurs are.
The problem with this stretch is that it will wind up masking the problems the Spurs have against the top teams in the West.
They're still my pick to represent the east in the finals again.
