Last year I would agree with you. This year, we get at least 3 of those.
Tue 28 vs LA Lakers
Thu 30 @ Dallas
Sat 01 vs Oklahoma City
Tue 04 @ New York
Wed 05 @ Boston
after tonight we could be ahead of a five games losing streak!
Last year I would agree with you. This year, we get at least 3 of those.
we have some really tough back to backs this year.
Lakers, New York, and Oklahoma are very winnable games. I also think that we have a very good chance of nipping the Mavs. The Boston game is going to be tough because it's the game after we play the New York Suns.
Is Hill going to be back for this stretch of games? We're really going to need him.
Boston on the B2B will be murder, and Dallas always gets up for the Spurs, but 4 of those 5 are winnable games.
Well, how about we say that Dallas, OKC, New York and Boston have a tough match up coming with SA, instead of saying SA has a tough streak? Why are we always the suspects?
Hill is due back on the floor tonight against Washington.
I don't see us beating Boston, unless they are on the second night of a back to back as well. I could see us having a Magic like performance. The rest are gong to be close games. After this stretch well get to see how good SA is. If they're pretenders or contenders. They've had a cake schedule so far, and they're 1-2 agaisnt championship level teams.
as long as they're not b2b it's all good (minus the Boston one)
It's about time. Hopefully the matadors decide to play some defense sometime soon.
Spurs are going to win them all.
It is not our concern as fans about their schedule, it is the concern of the rest of the league to know when the Spurs are comin to town.
GO SPURS GO!!!!!
They are all winnable games. I just hope that the Spurs don't give up by the second half in any of those games.
The Boston game isn't as bad of a back to back as the game against ORL.
going from NYC to Boston is obviously much shorter travel time.
7:30 tip means wheels up for Boston by 11:15pm.
1 hour later its wheels down and in bed by 1am.
yes, we should be tired but not as tired as the ORL game since we had to obviously travel from SA to ORL so i expect the SPURS to grind it out and get a W in Boston.

I would have rather us played Boston first and then New York on the 2nd end of the back to back but whatever... in' NBA....![]()
I'm as skeptical and big picture as the next guy, but the Spurs haven't had a cakewalk schedule.
The Spurs are 12-3 against +.500 teams, only bettered by the Mavs 14-3.
And I'm not sure you can make anything of, pro or con, about the 1-2 record against supposed championship-caliber teams. I'm assuming you're counting the road win against the Jazz (without Sloan) and of the two losses, one looked extremely similar to their first loss of the season against NO (which they avenged) and the other was what I'd deem a scheduling loss, something every NBA team has 1-3 of a year.
I do agree that the upcoming schedule will provide a good measure of where the team currently is and how well they're playing. But I don't believe we'll know just how legit this team is afterwards, good or bad, because it's just still too early. If this was after the All-Star break, I'd be willing to put much more stock in the result -- but there's just too much volatility at the top of the league to say that the way the Spurs or the compe ion is playing now is the way they'll be playing three, four or five months from now.
@Dallas and @ Boston are the toughest of those games. Dallas being the most difficult.
Nice jinx thread against the Wizards no less...
thanks
Exactly what I was thinking.![]()
Oh hey, look. A b2b with Knicks and Celtics. Stern and the gang must be trying to make out schedule .
Can we atleast worry about tonights game?
Tonight is a gimmie
Damn grey spurfans need to grow a pair.
