    It's way too early in the season to talk about seeding anyway. What's important is to beat all the top teams in the West because that's what creates better seeding scenarios in the end. In the past few seasons aiming for the 2nd seed hasn't diminished our chances: it's not taking care of good teams early in the season that has come back to bite us in the ass, because Pop doesn't want to show his hands or is still fiddling with some crazy rotations... like a few years back when we had the 2nd seed a couple of games before the end of the season and ended up at #6 because we dropped a stupid game here and there.

    We should return the favor of Capela's alley oops on the 2nd game against them, Dedmon should have no problem feasting over the height challenged Harrel & non athletic TOSB Nene. The guards just have to facilitate better, opportunities will be aplenty.

    Portland looks like a loss IMO..back-to-back game that screams out "rest game" IMO(although I'm 0-1 on my rest predictions, this season)..

    I agree the Trail Blazers game is the most likely loss of the 3. Not only is it likely to be a rest game, but that team, though clearly not as good as they were projected to be, is due to start playing better. Watch it be their enough is enough game.

    The biggest recent development with this team, is Aldridge's increased give a level in the past 2 games. He still hasn't shot it well, but his frustration is clearly boiling over and his activity level has improved. I get the sense that he's about to go off.

    So, we went 2-1 on a tough road trip. We beat Houston and got a little separation, and we kept the Clips at arms length as our loss to them was balanced out by their loss to Dallas.

    All and all a good week for the Spurs and Spurs fans. Let's have a Merry Xmas (everyone) and enjoy a win over Da Bulls!

    Happy Holidays.
