Predict the Spurs W/L record in the coming week from hell schedule..

[spursistan]

Mar 27 vs Cleveland L
Mar 29 vs Golden State L

* Pop pulls the plug on 1st seed chase*

Mar 31 @ Oklahoma City L
Apr 2 vs Utah W
Apr 4 vs Memphis L


W- L: 1-4

[Arcadian]

4-1

[Robz4000]

They lose the next three then beat Utah and Memphis imo, with Pop resting key personnel against GS and OKC. Need to hope Houston drops a couple games soon or the Spurs may feel pressure for the second seed.

[BillMc]

3-2

[spurs1990]

Cleveland is playing mediocre at best and warriors will be on a b2b.

We got a good shot at winning both.

[FkLA]

5-0 tbh

[siraulo23]

3-2

[spursistan]

Pointing out Cavs recent mediocre play and forgetting that the Spurs are master experts at letting teams bust out of slump/losing streaks against them :lol..

[TheGreatYacht]

CLE, W
GSW, W
@ OKC, L
UTA, W
MEM, W

[YGWHI]

I know, Pop doesn't give a shit about choosing playoffs rivals...But a win or a loss against OKC/MEM will help clarify Spurs' 1st round rival.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Mar 27 vs Cleveland L
Mar 29 vs Golden State L

* Pop pulls the plug on 1st seed chase*


Pop pulled the plug on that a long time ago (if said plug was ever in there to be pulled out to begin with, tbh :lol )

That said, we go 4-1 and somehow look unimpressive doing it.

[Play Boban]

Who cares? This team is second round fodder either way with Porker's cancer infecting the team tbh.

[ducks]

Why follow them then if they suck so bad?

[GSH]

With 10 games left, the Spurs can go 5-5 and guarantee home court against everyone except GSW, even in the Finals if they get there. They still have a shot at catching the Dubs for the best record, but I wouldn't count on Pop pushing for that (or for GWS dumping several games). So I honestly don't think Pop's top priority is going to be the W/L record in these last few games.

CLE is very beatable. So is UTA. And I don't think Pop will piss off another game against their likely first round opponent, and give them confidence. I wouldn't be disappointed with 3-2, even though I think they could beat any of them, on any given night.

[Seventyniner]

It's been a while since we've seen the Spurs hit their ceiling so I hope it's at least 3-2 in this stretch. With the Warriors on another b2b Kerr might even rest his guys again on Wednesday.

If Kerr rests his guys again, Silver is going to have a shit hemorrhage. I almost wish Kerr would do it, just to watch that happen.

4-1 btw.

[Old School 44]

4-1, losing to an MVP chasing OKC/Westbrook. The Spurs won't "DNP coaching decision" rest people, especially top stars because of Silver's memo. I know Pop typically doesn't give a shit about the league, but these are marquee games with playoff implications. The league is going to do everything to ramp up their product, especially at the end of March madness when most of the sports world is focusing on basketball.

[MultiTroll]

5-0
Kawhi calls for a meeting with Peter Holt.
Expresses he is sick of the stand-n-veg offense and player favorites and Pop is demoted for the remainder of the season.
Allowed to sit on bench but has no say in decisions.

We go on to beat the Cavs 4-1 in the Finals.
Bertans goes 9-12 on treys and the offense resembles 2014s Beatiful Game. Kawhi is legit Finals MVP, altho media tried to award it to Wardell Curry.

[hater]

3-2

Lose to OKC and Grizzlies

Avoid at all costs

[dabom]

OP proves to be the biggest cuck on ST. :lmao

[TD 21]

Pointing out Cavs recent mediocre play and forgetting that the Spurs are master experts at letting teams bust out of slump/losing streaks against them :lol..

Yeah, unfortunately this one is inevitably going to be the "enough is enough" game from the Cavaliers, who'd have had a "we owe them one" mentality anyway and given the circumstances, will play with max desperation/urgency for a regular season game. It's also on TNT, which means even were it the best of circumstances, the Spurs would labor to score and more than likely lose.

The Warriors, though they're back on track, figure to be nearly as desperate, just to ensure that the Spurs don't start believing that they can beat them in a series.

The Spurs will likely have the same attitude against the Thunder and if they lose back to back, would be highly likely to win no matter who it's against.

I'm going L-L-W-W-W.

[spurs10]

I too don't think the W-L is the top priority to Pop, but with no b2b's I'm thinking we could win any of them. I'll say 4-1.

[GSH]

Lol way to go out on a limb there


Same 3-2 as you predicted. Only I said why. I think Pop will go hard at Memphis, because they are going to meet them in the first round. And I think he'll experiment against Golden State and OKC, rather than go all-out for the W against them.

[DPG21920]

Hopefully MEM makes it a game against GS.

[Spur|n|Austin]

How is it a week from hell?

If not 5-0, 4-1 with a loss coming in OKC.

[BillMc]

Hopefully MEM makes it a game against GS.
So far so good

[spursistan]

Still think this blowout was more about the Cavs' being at a low point in their season while playing a joke of something called defense..However, the Spurs have also locked in on their own end: Green/Kawhi and Dedmon on the boards :tu..

Game against Dubs should tell us more about where we stand..

The Dubs will likely be a much different story. We'll see on Wednesday night.

I love how the people always pointing out incorrect predictions are the ones who lacked the balls to make one themselves. I guarantee you if I were right, you're not quoting me and giving me credit.

I also love the hypocrisy. Anytime I comment after a loss, I'm reading too much into it, "cliff jumping" and "spoiled", but when they beat an elite team, suddenly there's some big picture takeaway that proves what I've said wrong.

The Spurs have one of the best foul differentials in the league (as usual) - maybe the best, I haven't checked in a bit. Something always happens in the playoffs, and they just forget how to play D without fouling a lot. :rolleyes


Harden and Westbrook are going to live at the FT line in the playoffs. The Dubs haven't drawn a lot of whistles, considering, but if Durant is healthy, he'll be a whistle magnet. We may need David Lee to put the ninja Death Touch on a couple of those guys in the postseason.

There is some butthurt here :lol
I didn't make a prediction in this particular thread.... (there are many, I thought I did) but I did predict a better than 61 win record in one of apalisoc's threads... even though that's risky bc Pop may soon start resting players... That one I could easily lose but I don't care about my optimistic takes being always right.

I just liked to point out your cliffjumping bc it's comical that you are so self righteous with your pessimistic outlook.

It's called being realistic. They don't have the goods to win a championship.

I never mind being taken to task, so long as credit is also given when it's due.

So I'm "cliffjumping", "self righteous" and "pessimistic" because I actually have an original opinion and am realistic? At least I've given good reason for my view, unlike you cliché, vanilla, blind faith types, who just want to cover your ass either way.
