I reject you reality and subs ute it with my own: spurs will go undefeated for the rest of the season.
Brutal schedule coming up for December I think spurs fans should wake up and realize Spurs are still not a contender yet.
Spurs will come back to earth this month unfortunately but I think this will be a blessing in disguise as the front office needs to know they still need to make a couple of moves to make Spurs a contender.
Blair is a guy who they should consider trading. All Spurs need is a good role player.

Im not too worried.
What kind of good role player?
So what if they lose 4-6 games the rest of the year!
Spurs would still have a record around 27-7 +/- a game or two and be on track to a great season as Pop somewhat limits minutes. I for one, if the Spurs win 30 or more games (and they are on track to win 31-34 realistically) the first half of the season will be very satisfied.
Anderson is coming back, Neal is a steal, Hill is starting to surge again, Splitter will continue to get more minutes = why all the angst? (By the way, Spurs are contenders and are beating good teams as well as anyone in the league right now and are undefeated on the road - to discount the quality of their play and their collective talents and their potential as a contender if the big three stay healthy, Jefferson continues to play well etc. is frankly absurd!)
doesnt matter how many we lose in the coming month...only thing that matters is players being healthy for the playoffs....and moreover i dont think spurs will trade blair by the feb deadline.....i can see us adding one more big guy to address rebounding issue....any good centers available in the FA pool who is worth a try?
You may be right about the losses....but the Spurs are a contender already.
The key is health of the Big 3, continued good play of RJ, and the development of Tiago, Neal, and Anderson when he returns from injury.
The weakness is the back-up SF spot. They have to find someone who can fill that role. Whether it's Udoka or someone else.
However, they are a true contender because the Big 3 has won championships and know exactly what it takes to get there. And now there's a decent supporting cast to follow behind them.
If the spurs were 25-8 by jan. i would be exstatic...We can only hope
It Happens (c)
If 25-7 is a reality check, I'm pretty sure I can manage.

The Spurs can make history tonight in their game against Golden State as they finish one of the winningest months in franchise history.
The team’s 13-1 romp through November already ranks as the best record in that month in the team’s 38-season history, including the ABA era...
Keep Reading...
I don't see what the problem would be with the Spurs losing 5 games in December. Most teams will lose at least five games. The best teams will lose 2-3 games minimum but more likely 4-5. I would love for the Spurs to only have 6 loses by the new year.
Why do the Spurs need more role players and who could we possibly get that would make a difference? We can get plenty of project players but there are few guys that we could get that would have an immediate impact.
Spurs are playing better than any of us could have hoped for at this point in the season. To say they are not contenders is just plain stupid. They are playing as well as anyone right now. Perhaps Bynum will make that big of a difference, perhaps he doesn't come back at all. I will evaluate this teams ability to play with the bigger teams once Splitter has another 2-3 months under his belt.
This post is absurd on several levels. First, if the team is 27-7 at the end of the year as hater suggests we will likely be in 1st place in the conference or no more than 2 games out. How is that not being a contender? Second, you must be talking about trading Blair for a bigger post since our guard play and wing play has been outstanding. Blair is that role player already. He just needs to move back to being a high energy guy off the bench where he is not matched up with the starters from the other team. I am all for trades that make the team better, but am leary of being able to get a player with Blair's abilities in return.
2 + games by January....Spurs already are contenders....
I think a Kobe or a Lebron would suffice. Someone that is capable of giving Manu some rest. I wouldn't mind having Gasol but I don't want to add another old veteran to our youth movement.
I hear that the Magic may be shopping Dwight Howard...he might be the long, athletic shotblocker that we've been looking for.
Lakers, Dallas and Milwaukee will be tough.
But can he defend the pick-and-roll?
It's possible. I'm thinking more like 3.
Those will NOT be the 5 games we will be losing. We'll probably lose about 3 of those, plus another 3-4 from other different teams.
Doesn't that put us on pace for a 62-63 win season...?
Losing to good teams is one thing but I don't think the Spurs can go undefeated against sub .500 teams either. Sometimes I remember the Minnesota game and get brought down to earth. The Milwaukees and Memphis teams of the NBA are such a pain.
There is not much wrong with the Spurs at the moment.
You really have to look hard to find it.
And it's not Blair: it's team defens for more than 24'.
Blair is young and only needs to face subs, for the moment, not starters.
Where can I sign up? If this is a reality check month, I love this reality.
Who cares, as long a we have best record in the west, with the lakers not looking that impressive despite super weak schedule to start, it seems a real possibility.
