Spurs: Yall Spur Fans may wanna edit your old Derozan takes

[Monostradamus]

Nah, your team is trash.

Mavs and Spurs both have equally zero chance at winning a le next season.

[Monostradamus]

LOL, Mavs just got DeAndre Jordan'd again by a dude named Yogi... They got rejected for THE KINGS.

Your franchise player quit on you.

[Chucho]

They get newsfeeds in the cellar? Cool.

[FkLA]

To me, feeling confident that any Western Conference team other than GS comfortably winning 50+ games next season is a stretch.

$500 says the Spurs win more than not only 50 but 55? You in? PM me from your main account if so.

[baseline bum]

Those DeRozan posts in the past were from fans of a team with Kawhi on it and thus a legit shot at a le, so DeRozan's disappearing acts in the playoffs mattered. With Leonard gone this is a regular season team that can probably win 50 games and maybe a round in the playoffs, so another DeRozan choking act wouldn't cost the Spurs a le. Lowered expectations, mono. He's fine if the goal is to win some regular season games, which is apparently the direction the team wants to go in.

The kicker being they bit their lip and took it the whole time, right up till the very end

How do you see this team winning 55 games? They're going to be terrible defensively and no guarantee Aldridge has another career year like he did this season. Fifty five wins is usually a le contender and I don't see that at all with this roster.

Agreed anywhere between 47-52 is possible doable. Don't see us winning much more than that. 52 imo is best case scenario.

It's pretty easy to be paper tigers and still win a load of games. See: 2011 Spurs.

Sorry. I don’t bet money online.

Honestly, even if I did, I wouldn’t bet on this. I don’t have a big enough personal or emotional stake either way, either outcome. I don’t think they’ll win 50 games. But nor do I think it’s impossible for them to do so.

I'll take the 55 bet lol

I'll give you $750 if they get to 55, you give me 5 if they don't .

How many games do you have them winning?

[HarlemHeat37]

How many games do you have them winning?

47-52 IMO..

[baseline bum]

47-52 IMO..

Seems about where I'm at. I'm guessing somewhere from 45 to 53.

[FkLA]

47-52 IMO..

52 and under you get 500, over I get 500?

Regarding injuries, what do you think is a fair number void the deal?

[ambchang]

The Spurs probably win 45, would be surprised if they win more than 50.

[Reck]

Dork more loyal than mute

ed up but

Let's be honest here about the state of the Spurs. Duncan was the last remnants that was keeping the Spurs an elite team.

Leadership can keep a team afloat for years once they enter the "life on support" stage and Duncan did that for a better part of 2 years.

Kawhi May or may not keep thriving but he did himself no favors by acting like a complete . I doubt he'll ever reach true leadership status like Duncan and Robinson.

[TDMVPDPOY]

spurs will win more then 50 man

[monosylab1k]

Spurs will win 42-45 games next year. The West has improved significantly top to bottom, so fewer wins isn’t necessarily some indictment on Derozan. Mavs are astronomically better than last season and will probably still win only 25 to 30 games.

[StrengthAndHonor]

1/2 Warriors and Rockets
3. OKC
4/5 Lakers and Utah
6. Portland
7. Spurs
8. Wolves/Nuggets

[KillerMamba]

Man, fuq google for autocorrecting "demar defrozan".

[DAF86]

OKC added PG last season and added a whopping ONE win to their record from the previous season.

Again, you ignore the other variables that happened this summer for an easy singular move will make the difference logic.

Sure, anything can happen, and just like I believe they can win over 50 games and even reach the second round, it wouldn't surprise me if they miss the playoffs. All I'm saying is that expecting the Spurs to win over 50 games isn't some crazy super homerish idea, like you make it seem it is. In fact, it is what most objective metrics would suggest.
