The San Antonio Spurs begin their nine-game, 18-day "rodeo" road trip (so called because their arena is in use during that time for a livestock show and rodeo) that for several years the Spurs have used to find a way to coalesce their focus and come together for the stretch run.
History suggests the trip has been a positive force. The coaches and players always call it a bonding experience. Last season they were 31-14 when the rodeo trip started, went 4-4 on the trip, finished with a 58-24 record and won their fourth NBA title. This season, the Spurs begin with trip with a record of 28-14 and the need to rediscover the effort and focus that produced victories in 17 of their first 20 games.
"We have to use it as fuel for our fire on this trip," veteran Robert Horry said.
