    This due thing does not exist. They're due for a win since they're 100% last 8 games or w/e. They will win tonight JJ . Boston can't break their awesome streak.

    Some real serious trends in the Spurs favor tonight, both SU and ATS.

    If Pop doesn't DNP-OLD some vets on the spurts tonight, I think they got a real good shot of continuing those trends.

    Add a coach like Greg Popovich to any team, no matter how bad a team is, and you will have a contender almost immediately. For as long as he has been with the Spurs you can see a team that gives you their absolute best effort on every level and in every aspect of the game, including the coaching staff all done under the passion of Greg Popovich. This guy probably dislikes losing more than anyone else in sports, and he simply just does not put up with less than 100% from anyone. He is the man.

    Absolutely right, Coach Pop won't take shiit from anyone. Also RC Buford has to be the most underrated GM in the business, guy is always finding talent.

    Don't look now boys, but the Spurs now have the best record in the West and are only 2.5 games behind Chicago for best record in the league. San Antonio definitely hot at the right time.

    Hill from Indiana who was traded from the Spurs described Pop last week as a father figure and the team was like a family.

    The Spurs have holes on defense. Splitter and Blair are slow and play small and all three point guards are very poor defensively although Neal is improving. But this team is not only deep but the bench is extremely potent offensively. It's interesting that Pop will play 5 bench players for long stretches and even give them breathers with the starters, instead of the other way around. Has to be a record for bench minutes.

    I was kinda sorry to see Hill go, but I've been pleased with Kawhi Leonard. I agree about Splitter, NBA much more physical than what he was accustomed to. It really looked like he was turning a corner before that last injury, Spurs are gonna need his size. Considering Blair is playing out of position, I think he plays bigger than he is, got a lot junk in that trunk. Neal and Green have been playing great. I really liked bringing back Stephen Jackson, brings more scoring from the bench and some needed toughness. I love how Pop is playing his bench and his rotation. All these young guys are getting quality minutes and producing, the vets are getting rest and the Spurs are still winning. Defense, rebounding and getting production out of the bigs (Blair, Splitter and Diaw) are gonna be key as to how far they can go.

    Every game? Even the two where the Spurs rolled them? Moron. You don't have a clue.

    By FAR the deepest team in the league with the new additions of Mills, Diaw, and Jackson. No team is close to their talent top to bottom

    If they are the number one seed they make it to the conference finals. Otherwise they have overachieved this year.

    Keep in mind Utah is tired too. Look at their free throw shooting in the 4th qtr last night. I'd guess 50%. But to bet on the Spurs tonight you are betting on the bench and the end of the bench at that. The Spurs will play major minutes with three players that have only been on the team 3 weeks. I think the -1 makes it a coin flip.
