Next 10 plays Spurs

[GusT15]

Has anything actually changed? They lost on the road, won at home. Isn't that the regular pattern?

I expect them to win 7 more games at most. It's unlikely they win a series without HCA, and nobody is getting past the Warriors unless they implode with injuries or antics, so I'm kinda just enjoying the stretch of home games.

Apart from the team being healthy,absolutely nothing has changed for the Spurs.

Absolutely nothing has changed for Spurstalk as well.The team wins and we are one piece away from contending for a championship.The team loses and they are all gutless worms.

Homerism and cliff jumping in an endless loop and around and around we go.

Well it is a lazy Saturday morning after all,isn't it?

But instead of corny ass posts i prefer to tread closer to reality tbh

The way this team is playing, I would be very disappointed in anything less than 6-2 in the final 8. There's only one game against a playoff team in that stretch, @DEN.

It's hard to see winning either @HOU or @BOS. That would require winning the next three, plus going 7-1 in that easy stretch to end the season, to get to 50 wins. Doable but tough.

If anyone saw this coming after the RRT, hook me up with this week's mega millions numbers.

People saying we can't go higher than 7,we will be stuck at 8 and play Golden State,Lakers will throw us out of the Play offs and we will get the 14th pick.

I'd point out you are cliff jumping in the middle of a brutal,terrible RRT.But instead of doing just that,i'll propose you go take a look at the remaining schedule before you give your HOT takes.

Cheers.

February post... And predicting/betting on basketball is definitely not about luck as much as the lottery numbers are.

Well I was wrong by a country mile and change

8-2 if healthy

8-2 I’m glad they have proved me wrong

Miami game is a trap one. Hopefully they don't suffer letdown after the big win vs the Warriors and sweep this home-stand for a neat 10 game-win streak (only the Dubs have one this season if i recall correctly?)..

Next 4 games..

vs Miami
@ Rockets
@ Boston
@ Hornets

if they go 3-1, we might start to fancy det 4th seed..

And if one of the 3 wins is against Houston, the 3rd seed starts looking possible.

Seriously? Aren't we getting a bit carried away? 2-1 on the road aginst those teams?

6th is still the most likely outcome, at the moment, provided OKC keeps falling. Otherwise it is 7th.

Do we really think Utah won't win more games than us, with the cakewalk of a schedule they have? And both Blazers and Rockettes collapse? hard to fathom, c'mon...

[$pursDynasty]

I understand the desire to go pump the brakes but I also feel the teams that we have already gotten by are better than the ones in that 4 team stretch, if we can avoid the trap game against braided D-Wade, whose to say we can't beat the Rockets AND if that happens why can't momentum carry us pass a dysfunctional Celtics team? Once that hurdle is cleared we can go win for win with the Jazz despite their easier schedule. I am starting to drink the kool-aid.

I think Blazers will fall. They just lost McCollum for a few games at such a pivotal stretch of the season.

spurs will get 3-1 with only loss to Houston.

4-0 let’s go!

people already forgetting how horrible this team is on the road ... 2-2 if all hands are on deck

There are whispers that McCollum is out for the remainder of the regular season. We also own the tie breaker with them. Houston will be the tough nut to crack, but Boston is not doing well this year, and are a bottom half of the draw team in the East. They can be had. Three and one for the next four can't even be considered going out on a limb with the way this team is playing.

Man, OKC is sure imploding at the wrong time, going 4-6 in last ten games. Watching Westbrook reminds me of why I'm a Spurs fan-- when asked by reporters about his shot selection against Golden State-- where he was 2-16 and 0-7 from three-- he angrily replied, "have I changed in 11 years?" No, Russ, you haven't-- and that's the problem. No coach has ever been able to reel him in, and every teammate has to dance around the question of his historically bad shot selection by talking about his intensity, his passion, his compe iveness... but it's always there, in plain sight: he's the worst high volume three point shooter in the history of the NBA, and he adamantly refuses to change. There are nine players on OKC who have better 3pt%s than Russ, but only one shoots more threes than him. As a team, OKC has a former MVP, a current MVP candidate, a good established center, two decent back up PGs, and a handful of role players-- and they have the same record as the Spurs, in a transition season, after a two year stint that saw Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Leonard, Anderson, and Green all go away. I sometimes question DeRozan's shot selection in late game situations, but at least he's going to one of his strengths as an iso player-- and whatever his issues, DeRozan has clearly made changes to his game, Playing D, and registering career highs in rebounds and assists per game.

Good post. Russ is what he is. And his failure to adapt will be the end of him when his athleticism goes; (See Carmelo Anthony)

All this is doing is messing up the Spurs draft pick and pushing it further down.

The Spurs are not getting anywhere near a championship this year and won't be adding a star player in the draft anymore.
