"It is a must that they win their 2 home games"
you sound so like boutons, but in a good way.![]()
After 2 home games, the Spurs will have 5 games in 5 different cities in 8 days against some pretty good teams(4 playoff teams). I guess this is a good way for the team to bond....a sort of a foxhole mentality. It is a must that they win their 2 home games prior to this long trip, then hope for 2 wins on the road trip at worst and 3-4 at best.

I don't suspect we'll get off to a good start until Pop gets used to a rotation. I'm okay with dropping a few games early as long as we can come together to get a rotation that works. I fear the team is pressing a bit right now just through the preseason games. Other teams will be fired up to play us, so I expect a slow start the first 10 or 15 games.
atleast the spurs will have an excuse to start slow
actually looking at the games
they are all games they should win
dallas is the toughest team but they should beat them
cavs do not worry me. they have lots of new players and will need more time to gel
If Spurs won every game that they "should" win, they will be 78-4.
This is the NBA, the home teams win their fair share. The Spurs will do well to start out 5-2.
Granted, it's a five game road trip to start off the season. But, the only tough games there are at Dallas and at Washington (more so because it's an early game on a road back-to-back). Cleveland at home might be a little tough just because they'll be jacked up to play the Spurs and Mike Brown is very familiar with them. But, as someone already predicted, it's still likely a 5-2 start, if not better. That should be acceptable considering a look at the schedule.
and the haters will be out in force.This is the NBA, the home teams win their fair share. The Spurs will do well to start out 5-2.
You think so? I"m now too worried about it. It's not like they're playing the top dogs of the East. I expect 6-1
I thought this thread was about sarcasm.
Lower tier Eastern Conference playoff teams mostly (those don't count when talking about "playoff teams"). And this just means we get more home games later when we hit our stride. Besides, there's only one back-to-back on the road trip. No worries.
--------don't be surprised if the spurs start this season really really slow, with a ty record, maybe even slightly below 500
i see this team having a very slow start, slower than normal
mostly because everyone will be gunning for and gearing towards us, least of all because of fitting in the new guys and getting lineups straight.
We'll start making up good ground in late december.

Good one.
Wow the bandwagon already swaying left and right and it's just about to leave the stable.
Okay, wait, I don't get it.
First I keep hearing how great and powerful and almighty the Spurs are, and how they've already won the 2006 and 2007 Championships.
Now they're going to "have it rough" because of an early-season 5-game roadie?
Make up your minds.
Also, this is incorrect:
They'd be 82-0.If Spurs won every game that they "should" win, they will be 78-4.
No, at Miami, Indy, Detroit and at Houston in their 2nd game in Houston, the Spurs will be the dogs.
Spurs will start the season 7-0
Mark it down.
Ok, I marked it down, now what?
Violet Palmer will ref one of those games andthe Spurs will lose
6-1
I think the Spurs will be favored in every game except @ Miami.No, at Miami, Indy, Detroit and at Houston in their 2nd game in Houston, the Spurs will be the dogs.
if they don't? will u quit on them again?

If the Spurs keep giving up 28 points in quarters, they are going to have lots of rough games.
An early challenge will be good for them. It all balances out in the long run. And who is to say that those opponents will or will not be prepared to face the Spurs? I think that its all about the playoffs, anyway. Regular season is just one long tune up.
what ever happened to whottt?
