There hasn't been one recently. There hasn't been one in the Tim Duncan era. Last month that was this bad was the season before they got Tim. I was there for that season and I remember going to games just to watch Dominique Wilkins shoot the ball because he was fun to watch. No chance the team would win anything.
Tickets were cheap, though!
Nothing is a given, but it's impossible to try to be the best team you can be missing 2 starters and playing almost every other day for a whole month. The schedule should ease up a bit now, and hopefully we can get those guys back and stay healthy to try to build something there. We already know what the ceiling is for this team. There's no guarantee we'll get there this season, but we know we have a pretty damn good team when everyone is available and rested.
I just don't want to see this team spent by April like the 2010-11 team was. So Duncan playing huge minutes now is really bad.
Thank God we won this one. I really thought losing in OT would've been a cruel and unnecessary slap. Least this brutal month ended well.
happy new year.
So long, sucker
Happy New Year
Glad this month is almost over.
December is over. Look at the Spurs schedule. It is pretty easy as they only 10 B2B remaing (3 1/2 months) after playing 11 B2B in only two months. Plus they have 24 ECF games and they play 20 plus games against under .500 teams out West.
Spurs are primed for a run as their schedule is probably the easiest remaining schedule of all the WC teams. This comes after having the worse scheduling in recent memory. 18 games in one month.
I only recall one year when the Spurs had to play this many games in one month in a non lockout season. It was back in the Robinson era where they played like 17 games. Spurs were like 10-7, didn't have the injuries they had this year and didn't have the SOS they just faced.
The first two months for the was just brutal.
We should have Kawhi back by the break, and our schedule gets a lot easier going forward. We'll be fine.
GO SPURS GO!!!!!
18 games, 7 back 2 back and the real kicker 45 minutes of overtime. Many of the starters sitting with the
bench putting in long minutes. Sure this gives the bench a lot of game time but they have to get
tired also. You would think that the NBA champs might have a little slack in the schedule but it
seems that Stern's schedule maker is still around. I worry about Manu using it all up. Boris is looking tired
by the 4th quarter. The one shining bright spot of all this is the play of Cory Joseph. Cory has stepped up
with Tony out and has played just great. This has been one of the most brutal month I have seen but
we get a little more time off now the rest of the season
