I dont agree with 4-5 Timvp. It would be horrible for our team to lose 5 games coming off a 10 game win streak. Being shorthanded this season is a fact of life for the Spurs. We have had a large number of games without starters playing. Our bench has picked up the slack in grand fashion. Do I see 9-0 on the RRT? No, but I wont say being shorthanded is the cause of us losing. The scary games for me are the back to backs. I see Pop resting Manu, Timmy and maybe even Tony on one of the two nights. The X-factor for the Spurs is our new Donk, Baynes. He is a banger for sure. If he can give us just 10-12 mins of solid play and take them from TD in the 1st half of the trip, we can get a win or two that you are not counting for us. I would love to see TD get only 20 mins a game on the first half of the trip. It would keep him in shape and allow he to rest that pesky knee. Same with Manu. Green, De Colo and Neal need to ramp up their play. I can assure you that the last couple days at the practice facility have not been comfortable for the players. They have had to listen to Pop complain about the turnovers. A 3% chance to win all 9. A 10% chance to win 8. But a 75% chance to win 7 of the games on the road.
