Here are the Spurs’ two B2B2B: Mar 23-25: vs DAL/NOH/vs PHI, and Apr 16-18: @GSW/LAL/@SAC. Tough crowd.

Actually, April’s even worse, from a rest prospective.
They end the season with a run of 13 games in 17 nights. That’s near insanity. That’s … a baseball schedule.

Spurs better start well. No team in the West wants to have to grind out wins in April just to make the playoffs. No juice left to win a series.

Critical that our guys start well and hopefully click during the RRT. That way Pop can play the final two weeks however he wants. Seeding will not be important this post-season; health and cohesion will be.

Not so fast there, Hirschof.
That canvas has yet to be cut and stretched just yet. Let’s hold off on criticizing the artist’s raw materials until he’s at least propped it up on his easel.

I can already imagine Pop making “happy accidents” during the said painting.
But I find it hard to see him making trees and happy little clouds.

Happy accident? This is a family program, mind you.

At least the Mavs have a tougher schedule than us. They had a list of a few teams who have the toughest schedules and one of them was the Mavericks. No mention of the Spurs.
"D'oh!"
How do they rank toughness?

We should just have a tag team tournament to replace some of these back-to-backs. Think about it, the Lakers/Spurs versus Miami/Boston.
A man gets the eye of a Tiger, but a Tiger gets the eye of a Manu.
Seriously though, this sucks. I wonder if the Spurs will return to their previous approach of easing into the season rather than burning out early like last season. I think they should concentrate on just making it to the playoffs instead of focus on getting a great seed.
We are gonna need a lot of bodies in there to get some burn during the 40 or so sets of back to backs.

yea, Pop could care less if we had the number 1 seed, as long as they make the playoffs and everyone’s healthy.
"You know the difference between you and me? I make this look GOOD." - Agent J, Men In Black
I hope this will be his rationale for the season. I think the quick start last season that most fans (myself included) considered prudent, proved to wear our superstars out by seasons end.
However, many in here already think the Spurs should take advantage of this seasons relatively easy beginning.

Crap, that is one ugly schedule

The league loaded up January with 18 games, but March and April are about the same as last season. That’s not so bad. And all the teams are in the same boat.

This isn’t the kind of griping that I’ve come to expect from the PtR faithful. I’m disappointed.
Also, April of last season was 7 games in 13 days, or one game every other day. This April features the busiest stretch I’ve ever beheld. More details to come.

Schedule looks vicious and way too packed. The one good thing to remember is that other teams have the same, meaning some of these games that a look like a “scheduled loss” in a normal season may have the opponent also playing a 3rd consecutive day (or 5th in 6 nights). The only guarantee is some sloppy play, turnovers, and low shooting percentages.
I wonder if fast paced teams will struggle more due to fatigue or will grind it out teams become exhausted from all the physical play.

All three of our Lakers games happen in the final two and a half weeks of the season, and one of those precedes a Memphis game in a back to back.
Fantastic.
TO POP: Rather than rest them toward the end, rest them at the beginning. Rest em..Rest em before the RRT.

When can we start (resume?) TRADE TONY talks? I’m summoning my inner CC all year long, I don’t know how I ever became so grouchy but I’m pretty sure I won’t be happy at all this season. I blame the over optimism on this site that I visit too often when there isn’t a lock out.
Anyway, let’s start planning the ptr annuel get together. Tim C said we should have it in California this year, at his place. Feb 18th for the Clippers game seems like a good date, especially since we’ll be battling the other LA team for a playoff spot.
The Return of the King Manuwar!!!!
The Trade Tony talks have already come and gone. Sorry you missed ’em. Check out the comments for this story to catch up. Looks like the Keep side has vanquished the Trade contingent pretty convincingly this year.
A California meet would be pretty cool, especially since I’m planning to go to L.A. sometime in Jan/Feb already! Why not start a fanpost and see what you can get organized ahead of time? If we have enough interest and enough notice, we might be able to make it an official SBNation event, complete with (dare I say it) sponsorship or something-or-other.

My first thought was, “We might miss the playoffs.” But every team in the West must be facing this same problem. I think the magic if going to reside within the second game of the back to backs. How many of those will be against teams coming off a day of rest versus coming of their own back to back (to back)? How many are against playoff teams? And for our other games, how many of those are against teams on the second or third game their own back to back (to backs)? Anyone have time to analyze this?
Can we trade Tony to Toronto for a Division swap?
