Guess the game the Spurs will reach 50 wins...

[ElNono]

Spurs are currently 43-16 (23 games to go), only 7 games away from extending their NBA record for most 50-win seasons (currently standing at 14).

At this point it looks inevitable that they'll reach that mark, the question is, when? Here's a list of the remaining 23 games. Make your pick:

Spurs @ Cleveland
Spurs vs Miami
Spurs vs Orlando
Spurs @ Chicago
Spurs vs Portland
Spurs vs L.A. Lakers
Spurs vs Utah
Spurs @ L.A. Lakers
Spurs @ Sacramento
Spurs @ Golden State
Spurs vs Philadelphia
Spurs vs Denver
Spurs @ Denver
Spurs vs New Orleans
Spurs @ Indiana
Spurs vs Golden State
Spurs @ Oklahoma City
Spurs vs Memphis
Spurs @ Minnesota
Spurs @ Dallas
Spurs vs Phoenix
Spurs @ Houston
Spurs vs L.A. Lakers

[spurraider21]

i originally picked them to get there in 50 games, so i would take my predictions with a grain of salt.

that said, i'll say in Sacto

[playblair]

denver

[apalisoc_9]

Vs. Philadelphia

[wtgspurs]

At UTAH BABY! We aint losing no more bitchhhhhhhhh

[Mugen]

@LA.. Beat the Fakers.

[spurs10]

Fakers :flag:

[timtonymanu]

Hmm.. every upcoming game except vs Miami and vs Portland is in the Spurs' favor. I'll say @ Sacramento

[MeloHype]

Vs Utah

[Robz4000]

@ Sacramento tbh

Chicago is a tough game tbh.

[Splits]

In Sacto. And you should bet on that if you're familiar with my RRT predict.

[timtonymanu]

Chicago is a tough game tbh.

True. But I still see the Spurs taking that game.

[HI-FI]

I think it happens somewhere in the
Spurs vs Denver
Spurs @ Denver
stretch. I'm thinking it happens at home, vs Denver, and then in Denver they celebrate in style.

crazy to think of that stat. Spurs have been so consistent and reliable, I know I take it for granted.

[Uriel]

@LAL, tbh.

[exstatic]

@LAL

[Andthentherewas21]

Sac

[mudyez]

Spurs @ Chicago

We are that good! BELIEVE!

[Strategic]

Sac-o-shit-o

[elbamba]

76ers

[look_at_g_shred]

Kings

[Mel_13]

@ LAL

[wildbill2u]

Denver.

Pop will continue to be careful with minutes for starters and so we won't be at full strength against the strongest teams we face. He just doesn't buy in to the 'win every game at any cost' philosophy, banking on the natural talent of our backups and the system to win games against weaker teams.

So while Spurs fans will be frothing at the mouth to beat Miami, Portland, and Golden State for 'statement games", Pop is just as likely to find some reason to sit Tim or Manu in those games. League fines be damned.

[bklynspursfan]

Utah.. I see a long winning streak

[Old School 44]

Sacramento
I see them having an obscure loss to someone like Cleveland, Orlando or Utah along with a loss to the Heat or Blazers.

[Mikeanaro]

Sacramento

[DesignatedT]

Utah

[smaka]

I wanted to say in Sacramento, but so many people said it that I'm going with @GS :lol

[houston spurs fan]

Golden State.

[Mal]

At california road trip

[urunobili]

Golden State

[pookenstein]

@Denver or vs the Pelicans

[SpursFan86]

Damn...those last 9 games (well, excluding LA) are going to be rough. It'd be nice if we could win 10 or 11 of these upcoming 14 games.

[Captivus]

PHI

[Libri]

Sacramento

[SupremeGuy]

Vs. Philadelphia

[Proxy]

@Cleveland

[Sean Cagney]

They always kick our ass with the last x amount of games of the year, last year they tried to make it a hard schedule and tons of back to backs late I believe. Damnit I hope that preps us for the playoffs and they get in a groove then.

[spurraider21]

Looks like we'll get it sooner than most thought...

On another note 8 of our next 10 games look like complete slam dunks, with the other two coming against a slumping Portland, and the Warriors, who he have done well against this year. The 8 said easy games come against: Lakers, Jazz, @ Lakers, @ Kings, Sixers, Nuggets, @ Nuggets, Pelicans

:flag:

[HI-FI]

:lol at my Denver prediction. I should just stick to Oscar predictions tbh.

[313]

Hoping Utah

God damn you're right. There's barely a game SA will break a sweat on until the Finals 9 games. . .but then those are absolutely brutal. Hoping Spurs reel off a 9-1 over the next 10 too and build up some much needed padding for the #1 seed before we inevitably lose 3-4 over the final 9.

exclamation point

[Kidd K]

exclamation point

freudian slip I guess :lol

Meant final 9 games of the season

It'd be dope if they didn't break a sweat 'til the Final though

[look_at_g_shred]

Damn could very well do it Sunday!

[JR3]

Who would have guessed we would be the first team in the league to 50...

[Solid D]

50 vs Utah, 60 vs LA

[RD2191]

At UTAH BABY! We aint losing no more bitchhhhhhhhh
:hat

[look_at_g_shred]

:hat
Haha

[spurs1990]

Any takers on 64 wins breaking the franchise record?

Conceivable with both okc and clippers vying for that top seed keeping Pop going full speed.

This. Spurs ABSOLUTELY need the first seed this year.

If my math serves me, Spurs must win 14 more games to break the franchise record. Go Spurs, regardless. Great late season charge, but coach poop might decide to rest starters n shit as he has in the past, thwarting it...

Although Pop and players say they really don't care about HC, I think they should and do. Even with a two game lead, the West is still up for grabs. With everyone for the most part healthy and playing so well, it wouldn't surprise me if they broke it.

[ElNono]

First to 50! Prorating the lockout season, this is the 15th consecutive season the Spurs reach 50 wins, an absolute NBA record (they already held the record at 14).

Better enjoy them while they're around! We're still part of an unforgettable run!

The last lockout didn't need to be pro-rated. We won 50 in 66 games, just like this year. If you prorate the 99 lockout, you can add two more seasons, making 17 consecutive 50 win or equivalent percentage seasons.

oh, I thought it was 15 WITH the 99 lockout... even better then!

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Spurstalk pathology: if we win in the regular season, it's fools gold. If someone else beats us, we have no chance to beat them in the playoffs. :rolleyes

I think you mean robdiaz2191 pathology :downspin:

Fuck yo font clown

It's still a great run... you gotta appreciate, tbh...

[ajh18]

Just saw on ESPN (via 48moh): "It's the third season in a row that the Spurs have been 50-16 through the first 66 games. San Antonio's consistency is creepy."
