The Spurs better be ready to go to war pretty consistently throughout the season. Every team plays every team during an 82-game season, but how those games line up is what determines how tough the schedule is. San Antonio's is among the most difficult in the league, so there won't be many chances to take a deep breath versus a slew of weak opponents.
