It's going to be interesting to see how many minutes Pop plays Duncan tonight. On the last B2B Duncan logged in 33 min in the 1st game and only 17 on the 2nd game.
Not sure Duncan can play so few minutes and the Spurs win.
Manu played 30 minutes so likely he will get around the same amount tonight.
Opponents' winning percentage (SOS) and team record, last ten games:
Spurs .586 (9-1)
Mavs .584 (8-2)
Hornets .580 (5-5)
Bulls .558 (7-3)
Heat .519 (5-5)
Jazz .516 (8-2)
Celts .497 (7-3)
Lakers .490 (5-5)
Magic .484 (7-3)
Any other invalid assertions there, Sparky?
After the last couple of years starts, this is downright amazing!
There's always at least one idiot trying to put a damper on things!
Get a life and admit the obvious!
And most especially, enjoy it while it lasts!

To beat 100% of the teams you are supposed to beat is damn hard in any professional sport. As long as the spurs keep moving the ball on offense and playing average (spurs) defense then this team is going to keep winning. Now if the defense picks up, like the 2nd half of the hornets game, then this team is scary.
8-0 on the road...... that includes wins in OKC, NO and UTA.
How many cupcakes have the Heat lost to?
Well, what do you know.
Louis is back - bandwagoning the Heat, even.
Very good point. Weird games happen, like the Hornets dropping a game to the Clippers or the Lakers' current three game skid against unmentionables. Sometimes you just have a bad night and drop an easy win. In fact, it usually happens at least one out of every 10 or so games. So to be able to win them ALL so far is awesome (except for those against a couple elite teams). Minnesota looks pretty bleak, but in the end the team pulled out a tough hard fought win. That takes guts, even if it was the T-Wolves.
it's vital for the Spurs to have homecourt advantage at least through the first 2 rounds of the playoffs. by the third round, it's usually the best team that wins. but those first two series are important. against NO in '08, the Spurs had to fight back even though they were the better team. they ended up being much more tired and banged up than they should have going into the WCF. i'll be happy with the record as long as it's at least #2 in the west.
Now to go 9-0 on the road against the Clippers.....
