Your predictions for this years RRT

[spurs10]

Blair gonna dominate one of those games, fools. He's gonna walk into Detroit and bring their pretty little asses over to show them what a real man is like.

That girl in your sig has a REALLY NICE...... eerrrr......basketball. Two, actually!

I'm thinking we lose two or three tops. We have won a lot of games that Tony just saved for us in the 4th. Somehow think we'll improve our focus and do alright.
6-3...or better.

[spurraider21]

I just want the damn thing to start. 2 games in last 10 days... I know it's a good thing for our boys to get rest but its killin me

[timvp]

4-5 timvp? c'mon it's an easy RRT. I'm calling 6-3 at worst. With tim "injury" and all you've been pretty pessimistic lately.

I don't think saying the Spurs have a good chance, health permitting, to win 61 or 62 games is "pessimistic", tbh. With reasonable health, that win number has been the approximate goal I think this team can/will/should attain. It gives a good shot at capturing the #1 seed yet it's not too outrageous that the Spurs are in danger of shooting all their ammo before May.

All seasons have an ebb and flow; I think the stars are aligning for a ~.500 RRT. Hopefully I'm wrong and the Spurs keep streaking.

It's 6-3 imho

[mercos]

I believe they will win at least 5 of the games, and potentially 6. The two back to backs are all I'm really worried about. If Chris Paul is either still out or not 100%, then the Clippers game could be a lot easier.

It is too pesimmistic, tbh. The Spurs have never finished below .500 on a RRT. There's no reason to think they'll suddenly start now.

IMO,
Best case: 7 - 2
Worst case: 5 - 4
Expected case: 6 - 3

[Southwest Texas Fan]

I'm thinking par is 4-5. The Spurs have gotten a ton of shorthanded wins lately and are probably overdue for that shorthandedness to catch up to them. Parker has been great but it's unreasonable to expect him to be flawless the rest of the way. They've also gotten a bit sloppy in their recent wins. Combined, that's a recipe for a semi slump, in my estimation, at least.

But even if they can emerge 4-5 on this RRT, they're still in good shape to finish off the season. They'd be on pace for ~60 wins without accounting for the relatively easy stretch run. Thus, 61-62 wins wouldn't be too out of the question as long as the injury bug cooperates.

I can live with 4-5. Anything better than that and I'm happy.

Man these are good times in Spurs nation.

[spurraider21]

Would be dam glad going 6-3 considering how short handed we could be

[DatBoyGood]

I say our losses will be at Detroit, Chicago, and Golden State. All the other games we should win. And I really hope the spurs dont lose their third straight to the clippers

[ego]

5-4 or 6-3 7-2 with TD and Manu healthy

[Darkwaters]

6-3

[Russo21]

Chicago, Clippers, Warriors are the only real challenges on this trip in my oppinion. But there's no reason we cant nail them to.

Best Case 9-0
Worst Case 6-3

My prediction 9-0 Write that down.

[Old School 44]

6-3, but very capable of going 8-1. Pop will "throw a game" by resting players or playing unconventional lineups as soon as the people start talking about the win streak and how well the Spurs are playing. Bulls, Clips, Warriors is where I think losses may happen.

[Rogbok]

6-3

[KenziE]

6-3 imho

[Pauleta14]

8-1

Only loss in Chicago...

[Bruno]

6-3 sounds reasonable.

Spurs will mostly face relatively weak teams but they have some injuries troubles.

[wildbill2u]

Everything depends on our health of our players and we already know some are hurting. They may be back--but at 100% after a layoff is the question. The 'x' factor may be Pop's at ude toward reducing minutes of the Big 3 during this tough trip. He really does think the best thing for the team is to cut back their minutes and hope for the best in the playoffs. He apparently doesn't give a rat's ass about winning any particular game. He isn't into statements or winning Rodeo Road Trip records.

Minnesota --We should win

Detroit is only 13-13 at home. Not very good. Recent losing streak. We should win.

Brooklyn (not NY) Nets are much better at home (19-6) than way. They may be coming into their stride with better coach. They play 2 weak team, Detroit and Wash. away before we come to town, but they have enough time to rest between games and probably rest their better players some in anticipation of date with Spurs. They will be up for the game. I think our chances are probably less than 50% so I'm prepared for a loss to the Nets.

Bulls--Back to Back against a tough Chicago team that plays hard defense and gets every rebound in sight. Good home win record. We ain't gonna win all these games and this one is a loss IMHO unless we are very lucky.

Cleveland--showing some life lately and their new outstanding rookie can take over a game for them. We should win--but this is one of those games that could blindside us. Still, a win until proven different.

Sacramento. We get six days off to go to the West Coast. If we don't lose our fighting trim and edge in skills we should win,

Clippers.--One of Top teams in West. 20-5 at home. Will be looking to avenge last year and make a statement for this year. We have to keep them in a half-court game, but even with CP3 out, I just think they have enough to win this one by running us. Lose.

Golden State--Dangerous team to take on B2B. 16-6 at home. They have some very good players. David Lee was player of the week in the NBA. Stephen Curry in most years would have made the All-Star Team, Bogut is a very able big. Jarrett Jack has been very good, etc. etc, etc. They have an excellent bench. This is one of those teams you don't want to meet in the playoffs. Mark Jackson is talked about for Coach of the Year. They are trouble. We lose.

Phoenix. We probably win but it's the end of a long grind.

I predict 5-4. That's still a winning record for the Rodeo Road Trip for another year, but you can't expect to win a higher % of these road games every year, just based on past years and wishful thinking. For all the reasons stated, including our injuries, Pop's focus on resting players, and the relative strength of the opposition, I think 5-4 would be good-- and anything better than that spectacular.

[Mel_13]

5-4 with the same outcomes as the previous two posters.

For tonight's game:

AK is out tonight vs Spurs. Duncan and Ginobili both were on court for Spurs shootaround, but Popovich said neither will play vs Wolves.

Spurs are going to lay the pipe on Brooklyn tbh.
