Spurs have the 2nd most difficult schedule of all teams ahead of them ... the point differential per game will take a dip most surely
....is the greatest in the history of the NBA. Wow...pretty impressive. If you are not enjoying this ride, you are missing out!

The +527 point differential has been amazing, but it has been inflated by a weak, home-heavy schedule, including playing multiple oppopnents with injured starters and / or playing on few days of rest.
That said, it has also been deflated by Pop resting multiple starters and overplaying the third-unit.
probably not. the west has just been pretty mediocre. GSW is bumping up that stat
whats the full schedule please?
It`s always home heavy for Spurs at the beginning, since there is Rodeo Road Trip with 10+ away games
According to the graphic shown on the Jazz feed of last night's game, the Warriors have the 2nd-highest opponent win% for the rest of the season and the Spurs were 13th.
that sounds implausible to me ....
Longest RRT in history was 9 games. It's 8 this year, with the one week ASGB after the first two.
Yeah, 11 of the 45 remaining games are against the Dubs, Cavs, and Thunder.
+ more road games ... if you factor that in it becomes more difficult ...
9 of 45 against these 3.
You're right. Not enough caffeine yet.
Impossible. The MAX games we could ever play against those teams at the BEGINNING of the season is 10, 2 vs CL, and 4 each against GS and OKC as conf rivals. We've already played OKC once. That leaves 9 games against those 3 teams.
edit: too late with this.
Still, a lot of games against good compe ion, especially adding the remaining Clippers games too. But then the Dubs are also yet to play the Spurs 4 times, Cavs and Thunder 3(?) times.
In any case, the Spurs need these games against the Dubs to prepare, try things against them and see what works. I think this year's schedule has been great for this particular Spurs team.
Agreed. Such a contrast with December, 2014. They never fully recovered from that brutal month. This year, they head towards the tougher portion of the schedule healthy, rested, and on a roll.

Yeah, my caffeine deprived brain added 4+3+2 and came up with 11.
Like I said, I really like this team, I don't love it but I really like it... only reason I don't love it is because the damn Dubs are in the way, for now.
70 bench points last night
Actually we did start to recover from that brutal month... we would have done so fully if only we had beaten the damn Pelicansthat loss will haunt us for a long time.
Losing in NO to a team that needed to win the game to get into the playoffs is no shame ... bad losses to the Knicks, Nets, Pistons, Jazz or those two triple overtime losses were the real neckbreakersActually we did start to recover from that brutal month... we would have done so fully if only we had beaten the damn Pelicans
Benson is still reaping karma from that game. He told Monte that he had to win to keep his job, and then fired him anyway. Bad form.
Everyone starts back at ZERO in the playoffs.
No we didn't, Ginobili wasn't the same after the Memphis OT games...Actually we did start to recover from that brutal month... we would have done so fully if only we had beaten the damn Pelicans
I couldn't have wished for a better start of the season. Best record of the franchise, and we've been able to massively rest our old 3 and give playing time to our young players who desperately needed it. They're better for it, gelled well and I'm very confident for the back half of the reg season.
