8-4

[capek]

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they went 9-3 or 10-2, though I know it's the vogue on ST to be conservative with w/l predictions (see RRT thread etc).

[Robz4000]

8-2. They'll lose the Houston game and another random loss. I'm thinking TP will be back for LAC/Miami, but if not they lose one of those games too.

[EVAY]

8-4

[bklynspursfan]

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they went 9-3 or 10-2, though I know it's the vogue on ST to be conservative with w/l predictions (see RRT thread etc).

I agree with this. I could totally see 10-2. These guys aren't going to just crumble with TP out, especially with 10 home games. I could see them dropping 1 maybe 2 @ home, and in Houston. I don't see them losing more than 3.

[spurtech09]

agree.....even with parker out spurs can still beat good teams....I see the spurs losing alteast 1-2 games.....

[Solid D]

Since we don't know the exact # of games Pop will hold TP out, I would forecast the Spurs winning the percentage closest to 68%.

[chapnis]

9-3

[Spursfanfromafar]

I won't be surprised if the Spurs go 11-1 and Parker is back for the LAC game.

[superjames1992]

9-3.

[jesterbobman]

vs Chicago 70%
vs Portland 70%
vs Oklahoma City 40%
@ Minnesota 80%
vs Dallas 70%
vs Cleveland 80%
vs Golden State 70%
vs Utah 70%
@ Houston 60%
vs Denver 60%
vs L.A. Clippers 45%
vs Miami 40%

With guesstimated win probabilities, that gives us 7.55 wins. I'll guess 8-4

[TrueSpursFan]

12-0

:flag:

[KaiRMD1]

Did they lose TP? Because Manu's been passing like a beast

[AFBlue]

11-1

Caveat: I predict TP comes back against the Nuggets, so this record is a reflection of March remaining games with AND without Parker.

:wow

8-4 in those 12 games. 9-4 counting last night. The four games are OKC, Miami, and a couple of others.

[Libri]

9-3

[racm]

10-2. Losses @ Houston and @Minnesota. :smokin

[ElNono]

Only one back to back... That helps. Best case:10-2, Worst case: 7-5. I think 9-3 is not unrealistic.

[spurraider21]

If we can beat OKC and Denver i'll be happy

[roycrikside]

they'll be very good, maybe even win all the home games, but I'm surprised more people aren't picking a loss at Minnesota. No way in hell Pop sends Tim or Manu to that game. I think them beating OKC at home would be less of a surprise than winning the Minny game the next night, tbh, although I suppose Pop could always flip the script, rest Tim and Manu vs the Thunder, sacrifice that game and take the sure W with those guys playing on the road than taking the chance to lose both games...

But the T Wolves suck.

[TrainOfThought5]

I predict that Ginobili will avg 16-20 pts

20-30 ppg, tbh.

[TrainOfThought5]

also a 9-3 record seems pretty realistic with the peoples champ emerging.

Hail Cojo

[John B]

Kawhi and Manu will be beasting it in time for the playoffs which is the silver lining. And I think CoJo is a better defensive match-up against froggy and CP3 so those games could be possible wins against Thunder and Clippers. I see them winning 10 or even 11 games.

9-3 people underestimate the Nuggets they are a very underrated team and coached very well. Manu goes off during this stretch.

[buttsR4rebounding]

11-2. Don't forget we already beat Detroit without TP.

[Spurs Brazil]

8-4

[hater]

wow some are really optimistic 12 games including 3 against miami okc clipps and other 5 POs teams and most of the predictions are with 3 losses or less ??

yup. thankfully lot of ppl will be brought back to reality in the next few weeks.

[Budkin]

Only games I'm almost positive we'll lose are OKC and Miami. So... I'll say 8-4.

[look_at_g_shred]

yup. thankfully lot of ppl will be brought back to reality in the next few weeks.

Then you must really under-estimate this team.

[aal04]

Id like TP to play against the Heat.
Not so much to try and win the game. He will be slower than usual from recovery, so heat cant get a good look at him, but he can check out how heat run

[024]

6-6

[Aztecfan03]

9-3. But TP won't be playing like an MVP when he comes back so even if he comes back it won't make much difference in games in March.

[John B]

wow some are really optimistic 12 games including 3 against miami okc clipps and other 5 POs teams and most of the predictions are with 3 losses or less ??
Because Spurs play the best team basketball which no one player really needs to dominate. Unfortunately that works in regular season only. Come playoffs where D gets tightier, we need a go-to guy to dominate. TP will be well-rested and Kawhi and the rest hopefully have elevated their game because of TP's absence. It would playout well.

[hater]

:wow

[Robz4000]

Welp, one random loss I predicted. IMO Pop will fire them up for the OKC game and they'll find a way to win. Helps OKC plays Boston the night before.

In fairness, this game is likely a win if TD and Kawhi play... so we'll stick this one on Pop

maybe it's time we let TIMVPDPOY back upstairs?

[Brunodf]

Tony was holding us down tbh

[superjames1992]

9-3.
It's going to be tough with those awful losses to Portland and Minnesota, but we still may be able to pull this off. Probably not, though. 7-5 looks easily doable, though, which isn't bad considering our best player is sitting in a suit on the sidelines.

We'll most likely be 8-2 once Tony comes back on Sunday for the Rockets game. 7-5 predictions were from those "fans" who apparently hadn't been paying attention the whole season as the Spurs won about 76% of their games even though Timmy, Manu, Kawhi etc missed multiple games each.

We could lose all 3, win all 3 or something in-between... that's why the games are played.

Look, OKC has been slipping and they have everyone healthy... Denver has been peaking after being pretty average on the road all season long.

Miami been spotting 20+ points to teams like Boston, Cleveland... We've struggled with Cleveland and Portland then beat handily playoffs teams like OKC, Chicago, GSW...

I think a bunch of teams are simply coasting now and waiting for the playoffs. Spurs might play with a bit more urgency trying to lock in that #1 seed and make up for Tony being down, but I'm sure Pop won't hesitate to rest guys if he feels it's worth it. And we'll probably lose some of those games.

[capek]

Seriously though, the point is that I wasn't expecting them to lose all three just because Tony's out. They'll be three tough games, each of which could go either way. Point is moot though, as it looks like Tony will come back early.

Really though it's only fake seriousness on my part, everybody's got their shtick (consciously or un-) :tu

Point is, Capek point of bumping thread because we lost only 2 is at best premature. I said 7 - 5 // 8 - 4 and the last three games are by far the toughest ones of that stretch. In my mind w/o TP I expected Spurs to loose 2 out of that 3. Miami (nuff said), Denver is a bad match up for us (but it's at home) and Clippers are tough meat to swallow too especially without tp slowing down cp3.

therefore the 10-2 predictions were a bit of a stretch tbh

Nevertheless, I hope we will never know because I hope tp will be back for those games

I agree 10-2 was probably a stretch, tbh... but then again, I would have to check when was the last time the Spurs lost 3 in a row at the AT&T center... I mean, the team has 4 losses total for the season right now.

Since we don't know the exact # of games Pop will hold TP out, I would forecast the Spurs winning the percentage closest to 68%.

5-2 (71%). So far, so good.

[DAF86]

With the depth this team has the true star of this team is the system, it was retarded to think this team wouldn't be good without Tp, yes he's the best player right now but there are many guards on the roster that can kind of make up for his absence. The one player I think the Spurs would suffer the most replacing even after all these years is still Tim Duncan, we're not deep enough on the frontcourt to make up for his absence.

@ OKC


Spurs are playing 5 legit playoff teams in a row, ending with 4 games in 5 nights with both b2bs being road b2bs against Memphis and OKC. :\

Barely going to get any rest for all those tough teams.

[ElNono]

I expect Pop to rest Tim for the MEM game and maybe even the OKC game... So those should be losses.

Heat should be a handful, but I think we'll give it a shot. Denver and Clippers at home are beatable, but depends on which Spurs team shows up. I also don't expect Pop to go with playoff kind of rotations for those games. Don't want to show your hand too early. Definitely a tough stretch here, even fully healthy.

[Kidd K]

Yeah, I think Pop is definitely going to tank that Memphis game since it's right in the middle of everything and they could be our second round opponents, but the OKC game I believe is a TNT game (Thursday). Which of course, means a huge, butthurt fine if he tanks it.

I'm going to throw out a realistic prediction and say. . .4-3. With Parker just recovering, I don't think we're going to be in perfect rhythm for all those games. Throw in the tank, and it's 4-2 besides that.

Let's not forget Denver is on a 14 game win streak right now and the Clippers are going to want to play us very hard to get some revenge. Houston is very good at home too.

Every game is going to be tough besides the Magic. I'm hoping for 4 wins so we don't just implode. But if we get 5, I'll be very pleased tbh. Especially if one of those is against OKC. That should lock up the top seed.

Barely going to get any rest for all those tough teams.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say 6-1, with the lone loss being Memphis. Rockets are tough but the Spurs have beaten them three times already (tho the one game in Houston went 2 OT or some shit like that). Denver at home isn't as worrying, especially with 3 days rest. Clippers are fading, but considering that last asskicking they got, the Clips will come to play, as will the Spurs. Not sure if the Heat's win streak will be intact (betting on it though), but either way this will be the game the Spurs bring their A+ game and find a way to win. No one of value will go to Memphis, so this will be the lone loss. Orlando will be handled accordingly (but it'll be closer than expected), and the Spurs will roll into OKC ready to win.

If they end up 5-2, I'll also be fairly happy, but fukkit let's dream big.

Parker didn't look like he missed 3 weeks, though. :hat

Statistically, true, but his agility looked noticably diminished. He started and stopped slower than usual. The ankle doesn't seem to be 100% yet. . .and our team really struggled to get a rhythm with him on the floor too, which is more the issue imo than Parker being able to get his. Everyone's gotta get used to him being on the court again. :)

lol :P Well 6-1 would be great of course, but I'm really thinking our max coming up is 5-2. You have to assume we're going to lose at least one of the games against: Heat, Thunder, Nuggets, Clippers. And Pop will be tanking the Grizzlies game. Nuggets are really good right now, though yes we have beaten them already.

Honestly I think we're beating Houston (will be very close), am hoping we win 2 of the next 3 (Nuggets, Clippers, Heat) but there's a chance we lose 2, we're tanking to Memphis, beating Magic, and hopeuflly beating the Thunder but there's a chance we drop that too since it's 4th game in 5 nights and @ OKC.

It's really looking like 4-3 to me. 5 of the next 7 games are against top 6 contending teams, and these games are packed together pretty hard. But again, if we can win 5, I'd be very happy with that. This is the worst/hardest part of our schedule this season imo.

Heat should be a handful, but I think we'll give it a shot. Denver and Clippers at home are beatable, but depends on which Spurs team shows up. I also don't expect Pop to go with playoff kind of rotations for those games. Don't want to show your hand too early. Definitely a tough stretch here, even fully healthy.

Memphis yes, OKC no... he should rest him against the Magic instead. We need to keep that 1st seed if at all possible.

[Robz4000]

lol :P Well 6-1 would be great of course, but I'm really thinking our max coming up is 5-2. You have to assume we're going to lose at least one of the games against: Heat, Thunder, Nuggets, Clippers. And Pop will be tanking the Grizzlies game. Nuggets are really good right now, though yes we have beaten them already.

Honestly I think we're beating Houston (will be very close), am hoping we win 2 of the next 3 (Nuggets, Clippers, Heat) but there's a chance we lose 2, we're tanking to Memphis, beating Magic, and hopeuflly beating the Thunder but there's a chance we drop that too since it's 4th game in 5 nights and @ OKC.

It's really looking like 4-3 to me. 5 of the next 7 games are against top 6 contending teams, and these games are packed together pretty hard. But again, if we can win 5, I'd be very happy with that. This is the worst/hardest part of our schedule this season imo.

Spurs will get up to play all four of those teams. Lately the issue for the team is the real lack of motivation to play (the schedule really hasn't been rough lately and the only significant teams they've played have been OKC, Dallas, and GS). It helps they also have at least a day off between Denver, LAC, and Miami. With most of these games at home I think they'll pull out wins.

6-2

I hope so man. I'm just forseeing 2 losses in addition to the tanked loss to Memphis. We're probably going to take a hit to at least one of Miami or Denver, if not both. Then the OKC game will be at the end of a very brutal stretch of games against all 5 of the top contenders (besides us) in the NBA, all sandwiched together and on barely any rest. That could easily be a loss too.

I really don't see any more than 5 wins being possible unless we somehow win the tanked Memphis game, or this team has some huge reserves of stamina we haven't seen yet to actually play and prepare for all these games and win. I still think we'll only win 4, but we'll see :)

Go Spurs in any case!

Shit, with Marc Gasol out indefinitely, they might be able to pull out the win in Memphis without Tim. The Heat game is a definite toss-up, but we'll see.

Marc Gasol is out indefinitely? Wow. . .really?

Damn, just googled that shit. . .abdominal tear. Too bad that Memphis game is basically a scheduled loss. If not for the terrible schedule, that'd be a W for sure without Gasol in the paint. Wish we had a rest day after that Heat game so it wasn't 3rd game against legit title contender in 4 nights and @ Memphis.

Considering the Heat game is an afternoon game it's not as taxing as regular back to backs are.

bump


let's just hope Parker gets to 100% soon or Spurs will even fall short of my conservative prediction of 7-5 :lmao

[Robz4000]

Spurs will beat Denver and the Clippers. Question is can they beat the Heat, Grizz, and Thunder after that?

[Kidd K]

Looks like we'll be lucky to come out with 4-3 now. I don't think 5-2 is a possibility anymore. We're about to go against all 5 top contenders (besides us) in a row, and the Magic. Magic game is an easy W, so that puts us at 1-1. I don't see us going 4-1 against the rest of the top 6 contenders all in a row with barely any rest. 3-2 at best.

The team still needs to get used to Parker being back and play off him like they used to.

[ElNono]

:lol 5-2 without TP
:lol 50%

[hater]

hard to predict exact games, but I did predict Spurs were gona go close to 50% without parker

disagree tbh

:lol cleared to play by doctors, but not good enough for Dr hater
:lol only holding TP to this standards
:lol Steve Jobs type distortion reality field
:lol soon to deflect and make this about me because his predictions sucked

[ElNono]

In all honesty, it doesn't matter what the record is from here on out... we just need to get everybody back and healthy hopefully at least for the 2nd round... I think we can get that far even without TP or Manu.

[hater]

manufan with extra pep on his step after hearing Parker injury news.

not surprised tbh. carry on
