The back to backs (especially LAC/GSW) will be rough, but the Spurs can potentially beat all those teams given the way they're playing right now.

[Budkin]

5-4

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I called this Detroit game as a danger game, and it's proving to be so thus far.

Welcome back to ST, ohmwrecker! Haven't seen you for ages!

BTW, your handle is a reference to Nauusica I take it?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

RRT has started exactly as I figured it would, now the next game is crucial. If Tim is back we should win it, if not it'll be very tough, a close win or loss. And then we'll likely get beaten in Chi-town on the b2b.

throwing away the pistons game when it was winnable, fck this coach throwing away streak for no apparent reason....dude looked like he didnt wanna coach at all against the pistons....fkn pathetic lineups and spread of minutes to bull players already in fetus position asking to be traded

STFU, seriously, meltdown . We didn't throw it away, they outplayed us down 2 of our 3 best players.

It was a predictable loss and nothing to be concerned about.

[timtonymanu]

Next two are gonna be tough. Hopefully at least Manu will be good to go. If not, I expect Tony will take one of the games off. He needs to rest at some point.

I took Detroit +6 tonight but didn't necessarily see it playing out like this. It was a pretty predictable let down spot for the Spurs though. People freaking out either haven't been watching this team for the past 15 years or just like to freak out.

Good call. Spurs didn't throw it away, they tried pretty hard to win it. shots just weren't falling and the pistons were fired up and shot lights out. not much could have been done. tonight, the pistons would have beat almost anybody, no shame tbh

I predicted a Detroit loss too, mainly b/c of Monroe and Drummond taking advantage of the Spurs' Duncan-less frontcourt.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Got the Brooklyn W when many thought we'd lose to them.

Tonight won't be fun though - think the Bulls will grind us into dust.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Glad to say I couldn't have been more wrong. Wow, what a win!

[DPG21920]

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.

2 more wins and Spurs lock up a +.500 RRT.

[Mugen]

Spurs are going to lay the pipe on Brooklyn tbh.

Amazing take, tbh.

[Maddog]

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.

OK
4-1 so far
Yeah I know the block of games after the break are tougher but so far so good

uld have lived with 4-

Actually, not so much. Sacramento and Phoenix are crap, and GS is struggling a lot (4-6 last 10, worst of WC playoff teams) right now. The only real test, and the ONE GAME on the RRT that I really want is the LAC. They need to be reminded what time it is. I'm glad Chrissy Paul is back so they will have no excuses.

[Trainwreck2100]

ROR Timvp with the bad wrongs

[timvp]

The Spurs already have a par RRT in my estimation. Anymore wins are just bonus. Well done. Considering that the Spurs could have easily gone 1-4 without the comeback against the Nets and the subsequent good mojo, it's been an awesome five games.

Get a few more of these RRT games and I'll be thrilled to have underestimated what would have been a reasonable par.
