I say it ends at 18 against Golden State. Not because I think the Warriors are the magical streak busters, but because they'll have a tough game against Detroit, followed by a back-2-back of which Golden State is the 2nd game.
Okay... let's get your predictions here. The Spurs are at 13 wins and counting, and their upcoming schedule is listed below.
Where will their streak end?
3/15 - @ Milliwakee (ending at 13 games)
3/17 - vs. Boston (at 14 games)
3/21 - vs. Indiana (at 15 games)
3/23 - vs. Detroit (at 16 games)
3/25 - @ Seattle (at 17 games)
3/26 - @ Golden State (at 18 games)
3/28 - vs. NOK (19 games)
3/30 - vs. Utah (20 games)
4/1 - @ Indiana (21 games)
4/3 - vs. Seattle (22 games)
4/5 - vs. Phoenix (23 games)
4/7 - vs. Golden State (24 games)

It has ended, uh, unofficially.
Let me 'splain, DalMavs endofstreak = Spurs not worrying about it even less
IMO, streaks are for the fans.
In that case, the streak, for me, will never be broken!
But that's biased also, so at 17 it breaks, sounds good to me, I hate motivating the compe ion when they always use your crew to compare, compare, compare!
I think vs. Detroit. Spurs have gotten by some less than stellar opponents by turning it on at the end. I think they'll show up a little too confident and that will be one of those games to hand them a healthy dose of humility.
Milwaukee, tonight.
I don't know exactly where the streak will end...but I am hoping that the team develops that killer instinct to extend the streak..Like they demonstrated in Portland when they were losing..
Indiana, Detroit, or Seattle.
Milwaukee or Boston.
Never.
I'm not really concerned with how far the streak goes, but rather how many of the next games they win.
I figure they will lose one of the next 3 for sure.
I would love to see them go 16-2 (62 wins) or 15-3 (61) to finish the season, and I didn't think that was possible even last month. I think anything less than 14-4 (60) at this point would be a disapointment at the level they are playing, unless it is a "rest hurt players" kind of loss for the last few games of the year.
Statistically, with a .714 win percentage this year, they would get 12-13 more wins and finish with 58-59 wins, which is excellent by any other standard than what Dallas/Suns are setting (and our own finish last year).
If not mil than Det. Cmon Kori Boston, they haven't beaten us in 7 years.
never
I say tonight or saturday night.
I hope not. , if Boston ever does beat us I hope Tim is on the IR so they still won't have beaten a Duncan led Spurs team.
I don't see it happening unless at the 24 game mark!
I say it will end at 21.
Maybe the Suns. If we continue to show this grittiness.
Yeah, I'd guess Golden State or Detroit, which would put it at 16 or 18 games.
I agree.
Utah will end the streak at 20.
Indiana or Detroit.
Milwaukee.
If we beat Milwaukee, Boston and Indiana will have a hard time beating the Spurs in San Antonio. If we were playing a top team like Dallas or the Suns, the streak would be in much greater jeopardy, obviously. But, with such bottom dwellers, it seems like our win streak rests more on our concentration, effort and execution (defense and rebounding and taking care of the ball), than anything else.
I'm proud to say that I predicated at least a 13-game streak at the outset. Now I want to get greedy. I'll say the streak ends 3/26 - @ Golden State (at 18 games).
Only because it's a back-to-back game for the Spurs and the Warriors will run, run, and run some more. I don't expect those old legs to be able to keep up with the young Warriors.
If you remember, the Spurs caught the Warriors on the 2nd night of a B2B last season and the Warriors "ran them out of the gym". Recall that on that night, Warriors Andris Biedrins (who?), the 7'0" backup center from Latvia, had about 6 blocks (3-4 on Duncan alone), while tallying double figures in both points and rebounds. Dude played "like a man possessed" in a runaway Warriors win.
I see the Spurs running this thing out.
I'm going with a 31 game streak, I swear to god I will.
3/26 - @ Golden State (at 18 games)
