I am sure they will make it a point to win at least one of them before going into the regular season. Or not.
I know pre-season means almost nothing to anyone, but they need to win a few of these, you don't want to have an 0-9 pre-season.

its preseason the record doesnt matter...
What does an 0-9 preseason matter? It won't bother me if they win every pre-season game by 20 as long as they are healthy and ready to go when it matters. I don't remember a single preseason record, ever.
Why? I don't remember out pre-season record last year... I do remember our record in the finals - 4-3. Much of the second half was just the players who are trying to make the team... and Pop is still messing with the rotations during the game trying to find a right fit... it'll take a little while for him to get it the way he wants.you don't want to have an 0-9 pre-season.
The last pre-season game will be the most accurate barometer. By then, pretty much all the rotation issues will be worked out.
No, they don't. How much to these mean for playoff position? None.
The preseason records and final scores are irrelevant. What is important is filling out your roster and rotation, new players learning the system, learning new plays, fundamentals, getting in shape, and getting into the groove of the season. Oh, and making money off of ppl that want to watch a scrimmage. In the past I've heard coaches comment that intrasquad scrimmages can be more valuable for evaluation purposes, because offenses and defenses know exactly what plays are being run, and it gives a better measure of overall talent.
Edited to mention that I mean no offense to persons that go to preseason games

Their preseason record couldn't be any more irrelevant.
^^^^^ What he (and the others) say!!!
It is completely irrelevant. Plus, it's not as if the Spurs are in desperate need of building an atmosphere of winning or a winning mindset. If they were incorporating 6-8 new guys into the rotation, I'd be a little more inclined to side with the premise of the thread. But they aren't, so I don't.
I'd rather Pop et al find the right guys to fill out the roster.
This thread jsut shows that everybody is anxious to get the regular season started.
October sucks.
0-9 would be awesome.
It's the only way to take the edge off the hype generated this offseason.
Add to that the fact Pop may want to get some extended looks at potential scrubs, it's actually a posibility.
It would be in' hilarious.
Yes, the best October would be Spurs going 0-9 and then ...
... 65-17
Yep, I can see it now. I think CIA Pop is just losing on purpose to psych opponents out.

You don't deserve to be a Spurs fan.
(I kid.)
I hope it's 0-9. Then on opening night the Nuggets will be demolished.
Especially when you start out 0 - 4
They really don't mean squat but it's nice for the fans if they win more than they lose. Pistons are 2-0 (and presently beating Saunders old team (81-70) and it feels better than 0-2.
It's gonna be a good year!

It's a de-jinxing process. I hate when the spurs are anyone favourite.
Why?Spurs need to win a few of these
I like this idea the best.
