Hopefully a tough stretch will elevate their level of play.
With the way we're playing right now, we'd be fortunate to go 3-2 on this stretch.

3-2
For some reason I kept reading "tough steak"... I was thinking "why would the Spurs want a tough steak?"
Maybe it's because there's no such thing as a "tough streak". It's a tough stretch. A streak is either wins or losses.
New York and Oklahoma are games we should win, and honestly, we should beat L.A too. At home in front of our crowd, we should be able to beat any team in the NBA.
Dallas and Boston are obviously the ones that concern me. Trust me, I would love to sit here and say "We got Dallas", but honestly, we don't. They always get up for the Spurs and Dirk circles the Spurs on his schedule. I can only hope the Spurs remember Dallas as the team that ended their streak and slapped them around on their own homecourt, and will get up to give Dallas some pay back and kick some ass. I really hope so. But nobody should be shocked or even upset if we loose to arguably the 2nd best team in the league on the road.
As for Boston, that's probably a loss, haha. Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to get very pumped up for it, especially since my dad is a life long Celtics fan and we're gonna go crazy watching it together in the living room, but 2nd night of back-2-back, on the road, against the Celtics? Come on, we can't complain if that's a loss either.
But think about it, what if we can pull four of those five games? We should beat New York, Oklahoma and we should beat L.A, but what if we can win either Dallas or Boston? Wouldn't it be awesome if we ended that tough stretch with a 30-5 record? Wow.
31-4 record would be better. I think we can beat all of these teams. Whether we do or not is up to other people though... sadly enough... I know you guys don't believe it but it's true... yep.
My predictions...
Tue 28 vs LA Lakers W We'll beat the Lakers in SA.
Thu 30 @ Dallas L Mavs will take an early lead and hold on for the win.
Sat 01 vs Oklahoma City W Spurs win this one no problem.
Tue 04 @ New York W Amare will go off, but the Spurs edge the Knicks.
Wed 05 @ Boston L Celtics in Boston on a B2B? This is a loss.
3-2 over that stretch...not bad, considering the schedule.
if we win all five, should we be considered the early favorites?
No. We will neva be touted as fav with Lakers/Heats around.
You're very right. If we win, then fantastic, I'd be thrilled. but also, if they lose a few of those games, that usually boosts the Spurs. Plus, we know Pop is going to study the opposing teams, win or lose, and if we lose, we'll know the exact strategy to win next time.
So I'm hoping Pop knows how to diffuse Chandler on Thursday. I know the Wizards offense isn't worth a damn, but the Spurs defense tonight was fantastic in the second half, and if they can keep playing defense like that, this stretch won't yield disastrous results.
We'll beat the Lakers, they've been lethargic as of late and I don't see that changing.
We'll beat Dallas simply because I trust Pop's adjustments from last time, and hopefully the 3 point shooting isn't out of control.
We'll beat OKC because their D is bad.
We'll beat New York if we control the 3 point shooting, let Amare do the work.
Lose to Boston on a B2B.
4-1.
I'm gonna say we win them all except Boston. Although if they don't have Rondo maybe they win.
3-2 or 4-1...at this point I think it more important to beat 2 out of the following three: LA, DAL, BOS. I obviously prefer to beat LA & DAL first & foremost, but losing to one & beating the Celts is ok by me...as stated before, we shall see what we are made of during this stretch.
All Losses es

Sure thing, Louis.
Oh Louis, Louis,...still whining Louis. Have you heard enough? I've had to listen to that, for centuries. Dont be afraid, I'm going to give you the choice I, never had.
I would happily take 3-2 in that stretch.
Happily may not be the right word, but acceptable is.
I'm not very hopeful with the way we've been playing. 3 -2 would be pretty good.
The Lakers are pissed off, I think were gonna get a beatdown this next game.
