at the start of the season i thought my balls itched.
Be honest, at the start of the seaosn, did you think we could be at 40 wins and only have 10 loses?
I didn't. I'm glad we are though.

Just to compare.
When we hit 37 in the last season five seasons:
2003-2004: 37-19
2002-2003: 37-16
2001-2002: 37-21
2000-2001: 37-18
1999-2000: 37-20
i'm your man if they still itch.
That's a win rate heading for a 66 - 16 season
And wait til the Spurs start to SPAM!
sorry chief. i may be a kitten but i still like pussy
We haven't even hit our stride yet.
That's the scary part.
Some of us did...in fact some of us are still pissed about Pop's snafus in Orlando and the first Houston Game
By the way...our pythagorean record projects out to 71 wins.
Then, I guess my answer to the thread question was "yes", since I predicted 65 wins for this season.That's a win rate heading for a 66 - 16 season
Um, in the above thread you predict 61 wins...don't be trying to bandwagon my prediction sucka...Travis coattailing it is bad enough.
ESPN already updated, and of course, PHX is right there with us.

I don't know how much better this team can get, really. One growth area: Manu and Tony seem to be getting better as the season goes on. They're learning how to take games over. That's serious deadly for other teams.
I'm just curious as to why you count houston as apart of the top teams and don't include la? la has a better record than houston and has beaten them twice.
No Kobe.
"houston as apart of the top teams"
that's an admitted aberration, but how can one not count team in our division that has beaten us twice? Other people are still saying MIN and HOU could give SA problems. A team that we haven't beaten?
the LA angle is just that I refuse to give LA any benefit of the doubt. as I said, put them in if you want.
The "road record against top teams" means less now that SA has beaten PHX, SAC, and SEA, and I'm sure by the end of Feb, the Spurs will be above .500.
my question is how you can include Orlando as a "top team" when they are only four games over .500 in a weak East.
what criteria are you using to determine who a top team is? Is it playoff seeding?
kittens have no balls
Gotdamn, ducks....YOMANK!
Be honest, at the start of the seaosn, did you think we could be at 40 wins and only have 10 loses?
I didn't. I'm glad we are though.
I said 65 wins. So I guess that would be a "yes" from me.
I know of a cream for that if you still have that problem.
aaaaahhhhhheeem
sure we do
Orlando as a "top team"
They were higher up in the east, they gave us fits at SA, and then beat us in ORL, when we had played no other seeded EC team on the road. They sagged a little, but now they just beat ec #3 WAS B2B, home and away. Are still the only EC seeded team, #5 that we have played on the road.
higher up than who in the east?
what are you criteria for determining who is a top team? or is it just an opinion thing? Just curious.
As I said, when I sliced the Spur record a few weeks ago as "road games against top teams" Orlando was doing pretty well, and had beaten us in ORL, and were 4th or 5th in the EC, still are, and were the only credible playoff EC team we had played on the road.
Top Teams are the WC playoff teams minus 8th seed, (and LAL), plus anybody who has given us trouble, like SWD neighbor HOU. In the EC, it's only DET, WAS, MIA, CLE. ORL, and maybe surging CHI who is EC-best 8-2 over Last10. We still have to play all of those EC teams, minus ORL, on the road.
I think the "losing road record against top teams" anomaly will be normalized by the end of Feb. Nobody wanted to hear about it, but it was a definite anomaly, as is the anomaly "lost more games to sub.-500 teams than to over-.500 teams". The Spurs are finally playing very road-tough these last few games, PHX, SAC, SEA, awesome!
