WHEN VOTING IN THE POLL, PLEASE CONSIDER ONLY THE NUMBER OF GAMES AGAINST WINNING TEAMS (WASHINGTON GAME NOT COUNT).
7 of the next 8 are brutal, with only Washington giving us respite with a weak opponent.
3 of the 6 hard games are at home; however, the boston away game is on the second night of a back to back, as is the orlando away game.
We play 4 of the top 7 teams in the league during this span, record wise, and 3 of the top 4 (with us having the best record, of course).
I think going 4-3 would be acceptable, with us dropping in Boston, Dallas, and Orlando. Anything better and I am very happy.

6-1, the loss coming Thursday @ Orlando.
4-3 sounds good though we're not gonna lose to Orlando. It'll be Boston, Dallas and Lakers. From there, another W streak again mid January.
Denver will want revenge... and Orlando is the very next night. Hopefully, Orlando will have chemistry issues (will they all be available to play?).
LA will be a big game, followed two nights later at Dallas.
I don't think we lose to the Thunder, but they will tire us out... and then we have Boston on the second night of a back to back.
I would put my money on 2 losses... but they could come to almost any team in that stretch.
I'm thinking 5-2. I would be perfectly happy with 4-3. Boston and Dallas will give us trouble in their houses.
4-3
I'm anticipating a loss to the Nuggets (revenge) and a win against the Magic (they didn't look good yesterday and are still working out their chemistry issues).
I actually think they'll beat the Mavs and drop games against the Lakers and the Celtics.
no way dallas beats em again, and orlando is gonna look like sa did last year with all the new additions and no time to integrate them. if the spurs have to lose any of them, its to boston and the knicks sneak one on us
5/2 or 4/3
I think either the Denver or Orlando game, but not both. (1)
I think either the LA or Dallas game, but not both (though both could be really tough). (1)
Maybe 1 of the last two - I think it will depend on record at that point, and I definitely think Boston can beat us. If the record is worse than predicted, or they lose to OKC or the Knicks, I think they'll be pumped for the Boston game.
It could go any way, really. But I think we win at least one of Bos/Dal/LA.

I'm not going to guess which games they drop, but that's one brutal stretch. Spurs are going to lose their top spot. I'd be more than happy with 4-4.
Welll.......
One thing's certain, by Jan 6th we're going to have a pretty good idea of where the Spurs are with respect to competing for a championship.
As an aside, I consider the Dallas game to be the most important one.
Missing Hill will be a big impediment; he is supposed to be out another 3 games or so.
That means he will be back for the hardest games; Boston, LA and Dallas, in that order.
You will only Beat Washington
1-7 es
5-2 is really optimistic
It's impossible to drop less then two having such matchups
the funny thing is the Spurs have had a history of letting down against poorer teams then going on unreal runs against the league regardless of the competion. I am guessing 5 and 2 but it would not surprise me at all for this team to get insanely hot and run the table!
can't predict on whats going to happen....only wait and see
5-2. I am really hoping to beat LA, BOS, & DAL. This will be a pretty decent indicator of where we truly stand.
