Just dropped down to 10th.
Funny thing is they're still closer to the Warriors than the Suns, standings-wise.
Knowing PATFO the Spurs will pick the runt of the litter. Which of the top 30 college prospects is the shortest, clumsiest and least athletic?

Donkey is out tomorrow fwiw
Yeah cause that's basically what happened Metu, White, Walker, Murray, etc...
I was being facetious of course, but also thinking of the "draft and stash" picks who never saw a minute of time in the NBA.
The league loves to load up the back of the Spurs schedule.
I actually think we'll win this one without Steph and Donkey. Snake and Klay will probably score 70, hopefully we keep the others in check. Spurs by 6 with LMA hitting his shots tonight. 28/13 for the night.
Tonight, SEGABABA at New Orleans.
Pelicans are progressively improving his game. Davis wasn't scoring as expected but he made 40pts in his last two games. Holiday with his incredible intensity, Mirotic is healthy again, Randle adapted and the rest of secondary players helping the team. Only Payton will be out. Pelicans run the 3rd fastest pace of the league and Spurs new big 3 played a ton yesterday (Gay 30', Aldridge and DeRozan 40'). Questions are:
- Do you expect Popovich to rest any player? who? I say Gay will surely rest.
- Would you show the white flag and rest Aldridge and or DeRozan thinking in the long term? Wednesday game at home vs Grizzlies should be secured as the next two games are a B2B at Indiana and Milwaukee (potential L both)
Well, the Spurs have gone 3-4 so far, but should have beat Memphis, and actually could have beaten Milwaukee, and was in the LAC game as well. Hopefully I'll be eating crow about my 8-17 prediction for this stretch of games.
nate silverstein new ratings has spur as only 10% chance to make playoffs

This is the year Pop finally gets exposed as a lot of dual coach/GM's have been recently?
What a weird ass year in the NBA.
The no-talent castoff Clippers lead the West, Denver/Memphis/Lakers/Dallas all in the playoff positions, and on the bottom are the Rockettes, Jazz, Spurs, Minny and New Orleans (most of which have tremendous levels of talent).
I am rethinking the Clippers. They suffered a lot of injuries last year. Last season is not a representation of a healthy roster for them and they got internal development from Harrell and a good draft pick in Shai.
Next week’s back to back in Utah and LA will be a real test to this team. Spurs seriously needs to win both games to gain some confidence.
what? they have a list with 13 talents of nba, I do not know where this idea comes from that they have no talent, their best player is playing like a top 4 wing in this season, and they have no weak players on the roster, in a hybrid list of spurs-clippers, spurs would probably have 3 players (being optimistic here), and of all the teams mentioned in his post, spurs have less talent (even if they have 2 B-level talents, the rest of the list is worse than the worst of the other teams)
14/25 (56% - wins are bolded) during that stretch. Better than I thought they would/could do and the Team is playing way better as of late, winning seven of the past nine (and being competetive in the losses @Houston/Denver as well). I think it's safe to say that blowing the team up won't be an option. Seems like I did a classic spurstalk and overreacted a tiny bit.
Let's hope that the recent trend continues and we can continue to climb up the standings.
But first things first: beat the Raps.

1/3 Raptors W
1/5 Grizzlies W
1/7 @ Pistons L
1/9 @ Grizzlies W
1/10 Thunder W
1/12 @ Thunder L
1/14 Hornets L
1/16 @ Mavericks W
1/18 @ Timberwolves W
1/20 Clippers W
Sure, why not.
Raps --> W
Grizzlies --> W
Pistons --> W
@ Grizzlies --> L
Thunder --> L
@ Thunder --> L (hope they'll get at least one of the two, but i fear Adams will do great against LMA. Hopefully my gut is wrong)
Hornets --> W
@ Mavs --> L
@Wolves --> W
Clips --> W
I could live with that 6-4 record, a win against the Thunder would make it a (very) good stretch of games.
I also wondered if this would be another year that you get exposed for ty takes. You're right on schedule, congrads.
It seems like the team has returned to the path after some struggles. Give some credit to the coaches.
Now, it looks like the goal of arriving around the 0.500 to the last 10 games is feasible. At that point, the easy calendar should help to finish the RS in a good run. I'd consider successful a 42 to 46W season where our young and key players can get some playoff experience together so PATFO can take the best decisions next summer in order to try to return to championship contention.
spurs don't have cap space and a healthy murray isn't saving this roster.
