After watching that Mavs/Spurs game last night I finally realized just how badly the age factor San Antonio has caught up to them. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say they will NOT make the playoffs this year.

Duncan, Parker, and Manu, when back, are still a formidable force.

They started out 0-3, but two of those were against the Suns and Mavs. I wouldn't read too much into this bad start, but I throw out first six games.

Still, tonight could be interesting. They're without rest, but they haven't started out the season 0-4 since 1973-74. If they're frustrated enough, this could be one motivated team tonight.

-5 at Minny.

They come up big tonight?

[infamousdx]

I think they'll cover tonight... statement game, almost. They are still a good team although short handed w/o their best scorer. Minnie should still not be able to match up with them and this is a team they should beat. Regardless, not touching this.

Of course they will make the playoffs.

Danny you are no better at picking presidents than you are at basketball games.

Stay off the Spurs games until they find their identity. Until then you are basically just making guesses at when they will start winning.

Until Manu comes back.

way to go out on a limb after 3 games..one of the most solid franchises in the NBA and they are not even in an ideal market..its to be commended and I never mind when they are in the running for a title every season

they have no bench, without manu they are garbage
this is not a top tier team anymore,. top 10 maybe, but not top 5

[BobHarvey]

The Lakers, Rockets, Jazz are the best in the west. Cuban screwed up Dallas and as a previous poster suggested, this is an old team with no bench.

new orleans is better than utah and houston
