Barely slip into the lottery on the last game after an inspired performance by Bogans when Pop puts the ball in his hands and tells him to "make a play" repeatedly throughout the game. Bogans shoots 4-37 and the team hustles their way into the lottery.

Hard to predict what has been one of the most unpredictable seasons.
I hope they don't make the playoffs and are able to enter next year's draft with a chance to pick up a couple of really good players that can come in and contribute to helping Duncan and Parker win at least one more title before Duncan's time as a Spur is over.

I don't see any reason why they can't maintain 60% and maybe squeeze out a couple of extra wins. I am going with 20-10, 5th seed and a brutal seven game 1st round series with the hated Mavs.
That's as far as I am willing to go.

Especially when the lineup changes ever 5 games. The lineup and rotation we used against Denver? I see the spurs finishing strong; 25-5. Otherwise, who knows?

20-10. Final record of 51-31
3rd place in the west
Final seeds
1. Denver (I think they are going to go on a run and shock the Lakers for the one seed)
2. Lakers (battling a lot of injuries)
3. San Antonio (the mavs are in for chemistry problems giving the Division to Sa)
4 Utah Jazz (they will cool off a bit)
5. Dallas (chemistry will be lacking after mid season trade)
6. Oklahoma City (Durant is that good)
7. Phoenix (Nash has one last run in him)
8. Portland or Houston (Portland makes it if Roy is healthy, if not Rockets do)
Playoffs:
Round 1
1. Denver over 8.Portland/Houston in 5 (no- brainer)
2. Lakers over 7.Phoenix in 4 (no-brainer)
3. Spurs over 6.Ok in 6 (Experience gets it done in this series)
5. Dallas over 4.Utah in 7 (Mavs steal game 7 on the road.)
Round 2
1. Denver over 5. Dallas in 7 (Carmelo over Dirk)
3. Spurs over 2.Lakers in 7 (Duncan is Duncan and Ginobili/Parker come out from hiding, Spurs steal game 1 and 7 on the road.)
West finals
3.Spurs over 1.Denver in 5 (Confidence is sky high)
Finals
Spurs over Hawks in 5 (Hawks and Spurs shock the world and David Stern has a heart attack, experience gets it done as Tim Duncan wins MVP averaging 22 pts, 20 rbs, 6 asts, 5 blks, and 2 stls a game.)
One can Dream right?

Well, me personally I'm relieved now that the trade deadline is over. The lineup is going to solidify itself for the rest of the season. The players now know they are stuck with each other maybe some of the lack of chemistry will find its way back and this team can get back to doing business instead of being distracted. Last 30 games of the regular season. Finished off with some good momentum against Denver and the next few games could be interesting in seeing how this team attempts to pull this season back together. At any rate, I'm going to be watching the games and seeing what comes of it now.

And who said anything about not rooting for them? I'd much prefer they actually play hard, play with their players at their proper positions and go on a hot streak and get the two or three seed and make a deep run.

Taking a long, hard, look in the mirror sounds a bit dramatic. Its what happens in every dynasty. Teams get old and the dynasty eventually ends. With the Spurs not being able to compete finiancially with the big boys, they cannot simply buy super stars. Being lucky twice landed them 1 hall of famer and another future one. Pop and RC did a great job surrounding DROB and Duncan with solid role players, as well as uncovering stars in their own right in Ginoboli and Parker. Its been a great run, maybe this year, or next, this current group of Spurs can squeeze out another title run, but either way, its been a great run. I'd say overall the FO has done a good job in the draft at finding good players in the later rounds. Lets hope this can continue in the future.

It seems like there are many who see the Spurs either A. Missing the playoffs or B. Making the playoffs and losing the 1st round.
Seriously, if there has been anything so annoying, its been all these so calls FANS clamoring for trade and then getting all betsy wetsy when they see this team not playing up to thier full potential. Honestly, its a joke to call yourself a fan of this team if you are already giving up on them. New York back in 99 went from being an 8 seed to going to the Finals. When it comes to the second half of the season and late pushes down the stretch I'd be willing to bet the Spurs will get thier act together. At their worst, they have still managed to be 31-21 (5th in the West). This whole conference has been nothing but an unpredicatable mess. Everyone is losing to everyone. Last night I saw a Cavs team get beat in Cleveland by the same team we put a beat down on. There is plenty of time for this team to get its act together. We as fans think its so easy to gel as a team and instantly find success. Obviously this system is one of the hardest to learn and some new players are finding it difficult to get it together.
Obviously, there is no explanation for RJ shooting horribly, but he will get it together. I never doubt this team as long as Tim, tony, and manu are playing. POP is a championship coach. He and Tim will find a way to motivate this team and get them out of this funk. Win or lose there should be no crying about how this team didnt do this or they should have done that....If your a FAN, then know that this team will get it together and do some damage come playoff time.
They'll go 22-8. Anything is possible in the playoffs.
I just hope for the best for the our team!! I honestly think that if we make the playoff, a lot of team in the west will take us seriously. We are still dangerous minus pop's losing it.

The Spurs have gone out and competed financially with the big boys this season, and also got the steal of the draft. Their core is still good enough to be doing better than they are, and they've got solid role players. If they pull their collective heads out of their asses they can still salvage this season. If not, it's not likely that the Spurs have an impact on the playoff race for the forseeable future.

Almost, but not quite, as stupid as worrying so much about limiting players' minutes that you forget to actually let them win games or play together. If 35 minutes a game for the next week is going to cause them to drop dead, then they aren't good enough to win a championship, so what the fuck are you saving them for?
And Mahinmi's going to have to work his way up to 35 minutes a game since he's going to face foul trouble for a while.

If I'm making the decisions, Mahinmi already worked his way into the rotation four months ago. Since it hasn't happened, I'll put my money on his rotations, rebounding and shot blocking and won't run a single play for him on offense and take my chances.
The Spurs have been running so many fucked up mind games for so long, they've got Spurs fans thinking it's the way to do things. You play centers at center, and guards at guard. You play starters to start the game and bring reserves and role players off the bench. Amazing stuff, I know, but it somehow manages to work.

Based on what limited times I've actually seen Mahimni play, how could you justify giving Mahimni 35 minutes a game. He'd be lucky to crack 15 IMO.

Then your opinion is flawed. I'm not sure how to change your mind, other than to tell you to watch the second half of the Denver game. JR Smith got a dunk by getting past Ginobili because Bonner didn't rotate. Carmelo Anthony got a dunk by getting past RJ because Bogans didn't rotate. In the 4th Aaron Afflalo got past George Hill and Ian was standing there to meet him, hands up in the air. 'Hello, I'll be your shot-blocker this evening'. Good enough to buy the motherfucker some minutes. He's more than welcome to play his way out of the lineup, but with the way the Spurs are defending, I'm not going to make him play his way in.
Here's what makes him better than any other big on the roster not named Tim Duncan:
He knows the defense inside and out.
He's tall.

Then your opinion is flawed. I'm not sure how to change your mind, other than to tell you to watch the second half of the Denver game. JR Smith got a dunk by getting past Ginobili because Bonner didn't rotate. Carmelo Anthony got a dunk by getting past RJ because Bogans didn't rotate. In the 4th Aaron Afflalo got past George Hill and Ian was standing there to meet him, hands up in the air. 'Hello, I'll be your shot-blocker this evening'.

My opinion flawed? Really? Okay. But seriously Mahimni definitely has some physical skills, but its the mental part that Mahimni seems to be lacking IMO. Watching him in preseason, he seemed to be alittle lost out there at times. And I'm curious, how exactly do you know that Mahimni knows the defense inside and out? Your opinion or do you have evidence?

Mahinmi clearly was going through the motions in preseason, and it's ultimately his fault that he's in the situation he's in for that reason. That said, the Spurs have no business telling anyone that they're a defense first team with a healthy Mahinmi unable to crack a rotation where Bonner is starting.
Again, he rotates to where he's supposed to be. He tells the other guys where to go. He doesn't lose his man when he's watching the ball. The fundamental defensive mistakes that so many Spurs make Ian manages not to make in the short minutes that he gets.
