I am hoping they can gel a bit during the Rodeo trip.

They are battling some injuries right now. This team has the bigger picture in mind I think. They know what the ultimate goal is. That being said, they need to prove they can get these wins against the West's best.

Rodeo Road Trip is where the championship-caliber Spurs teams have always rounded into form. Guess we'll see.

Yeah, they definitely give off that vibe. I like that.

I'm battling the personal desire to see them beat the best right now as opposed to viewing the bigger picture. You'd think after being a Spurs fan for most of my life, I'd have learned a thing or two about how Pop likes to lie in the weeds a bit during the season, right?

Spurs getting back on track by shellacking the Hawks of ATL.

Moving to 33-10, good for 2nd in the West behind OKC.

Lost Manu for half the Houston game

I swear we need glue to keep this squad in one piece this year for the playoffs

Not to be Debbie Downer, but this may finally be the year that age buries the Spurs.

Game 6 of the Finals may haunt this franchise forever.

Age has nothing to do with injuries to Splitter, Leonard, and Green.

I realize that but it's not good when Duncan and Manu can't take increased workloads due to their ages when it's needed.

Duncan has been fine this season.

Manu has always been injury prone due to his playing style more than anything.

I'm not saying we're gonna repeat as West champions or anything, but age has little to do with SA's struggles right now.

Define 'bury the Spurs'. They've had first round exits before. Barring an unheard of collapse, they make the playoffs. There is reason to believe they host in the first round.

That said, they could easily lose because the West is stacked like always, but I wouldn't call that the end.

If they get healthy, they can beat anybody...but that's a big 'if' right now.

We were supposed to be "done" after exiting in the 2nd round against PHX in '10 and the Grizz in the first round in '11.

People just think the window of success is constantly closing while not realizing we kind of have that bitch propped open at the moment

3 game losing streak, the latest at the hands of CHI.

Not a good look.

3rd in the West as of now. Forget beating elite teams, SA is gonna have its work cut out for 'em just trying to beat average teams.

.500 our last 10 games
