Many thanks!
i'll be happy every day of the season the spurs are above .500 tbh
Many thanks!
I wouldn't be so sure that we beat Dallas all that easily even without Kristaps, UNLESS Pop plays Keldon exclusively on Doncic to disrupt him all game. They're a good team. OKC is a wash indeed; I don't think GSW will be an easy team this season, if they actually try to make a run. Still got Curry and Draymond, and added Wiseman who won't be a beast out the gates but can cause trouble for us. Atlanta had a great off-season and I like their team better than us (talent-wise, not potential-wise), I don't think they're the ATL of past seasons anymore and should make the POs easily. Charlotte, Pacers, Knicks, Cleveland, Minny we can all beat, I agree there (well, we actually have to beat them, not like last season where we ridiculously dropped easy games... We'll assume that won't happen for now I guess).
I don't think you're too far off in your win total, a bit optimistic if anything, but I also don't think the Spurs will stay the same through the season. Losing one of DD or LMA (or Patty or Rudy to an extent) before the trade deadline could make a dent into the team's structure and strategies/winning. I'm really hopeful that the young guys could pick up the slack, but it's only hope for the time being.
Any word on if any pre-season games will be televised?
it will be interesting to see how COVID affects the season. Hopefully teams can do a better job keeping guys healthy and available than baseball and football. With the small roster sizes, positives could ground teams in a hurry.
the game on Saturday against the Thunder is on fox sports SW and the 2 other preseason games at the Rockets are on CW35.

1m Full second-half schedule from the NBA running from March 10 to May 16: on.nba.com/3usDSSk
We're gonna have a lot of games to enjoy...
Damn, I hope their younger legs can get them through that many games in such a short time period. Gonna be a tough second half of the season.
Lord that's a tough one! Glad we have a lot of young guys.
. There’s a roadie longer than the RRT, 9 games.
With D. White not playing in most back to backs and the vets maybe sitting out some back to backs, there's maybe a chance we get to see more of Devin and Eubanks. We may even get to see more of Luka and T.J. in the second part of the season which will advance their experience for next season.
That stretch after the break will make or break the season.
4-4 in first 8 and then like 7-2 at home is needed. Anything worse than that and it's going to be really tough.
Wolves, Rockets, Thunder and Kings are probably out of the picture, even for play-in tournament. So we just have to beat one team to get in there.
Shame about this covid situation, could've bene like 20-12 by now.
Yeah, I'll be shocked if the team can remain in playoff/play - in tournament contention with that brutal of a schedule. Either they'll face this "adversity" and make the playoffs/play - in or we get another lottery pick in a loaded draft class.
Won't be upset with either outcome, TBH.
Spurs will go either 4-7 or 5-8 in that 11 game stretch.
4-7 0r 5-6
There are 11 back to back games, tied with the Grizzles for most in the league. Its also the 4th hardest schedule in the league with an opponent win percentage of .519 and not more than 1 day of rest per game for the entire schedule!

Those are actually home games. Might be a record for most consecutive games at home.
That schedule is just brutal.
A trade seems very unlikely now, (if it was even a consideration to begin with).
Thinking these games before the break are crucial for Sham and his impact for the second half of the season.
Hope we are looking at a situation similar to Keldon J and an opportunity just prior to the bubble last year...
Adam Silver absolutely ing hates the Spurs.
Good thing Spurs have been resting their legs for 2 weeks. LMA better get his fat ass in shape real quick
The Lakers get to play the T-Wolves and Magic for the rest of the season, right?
Those Orlando and Phoenix games are for the real fans.
