[raybies]

LMA will be an All Star. (meh prediction)
Anderson has breakout year. (warmer)
Spurs finish second in West.

Dubs still win, but not as easily as last year.

[tholdren]

Spurs ring. Book it

If gsw wins a title without Durant does he leave? His legacy would be destroyed if they won without him. That would be the most compelling outcome of the season.

He's too much of a pussy. The Dubs organization and media would find some way to spin it to appease him.

[SAGirl]

Manu doesn't retire.

[Seventyniner]

Warriors don't make the Finals.

[LittleCriminal]

Curry breaks an ankle
Durant goes down with chicken pox on his nutts during the playoffs
Green wants out of GS
harden/Paul extend the Rocket games 2 extra hours with all the flop calls
Melo Chucks okc outta the playoffs
Spurs win the Chip
Leonard is reg season Mvp, defensive player of the year and finals Mvp.

[Keepin' it real]

Spurstalkers engage in civil, intelligent and compassionate sports banter. As such, spurstalk.com becomes a shining beacon for respectful online discourse, demonstrating the best of humanity and helping to end the divisiveness in America ... and beyond.

The NBA is predictable.

The last 4 teams standing will be Cleveland, Golden State, Boston and San Antonio.

Golden State will beat Cleveland in the Finals

Durant will win his 2nd MVP award

Donovan will win CotY by making it to the 2nd round.

Kawhi will finish 3rd in MVP voting and 2nd in DPoY.

[Spurtacular]

apalisoc_9 makes less than 500 player fan threads.

[99 Problems]

Serious: Kawawa runaway winner of MVP.

Semi Serious: MVPatty has 15+ 100 point games

Half Semi Serious: MVPatty has 82 100 point games.

cant see much else doing in this years nba.

[hooperflash]

Champions

[turkish spurs fan]

ginobili will not miss any game.

[SAGirl]

Champions
Love it!!!!! :lobt2:

[21209]

Rudy Gay wins sixth man award and comeback player of the year

[Uriel]

Spurs finish 3rd in the West and lose to Houston in the 2nd round. Aldridge picks up his player option and gets traded in the offseason.

[BillMc]

Rudy Gay wins sixth man award and comeback player of the year
:toast That would bode very well for the team.

[phxspurfan]

Parker retires mid season

Spurs don't win 50 games due to Kawhi injury

[spurs10]

Rudy Gay wins sixth man award and comeback player of the year
Like it!

[spurs10]

I think our season turns on Kawhi's health. If healthy I put us back in the WCF up 23 and this time Zaza doesn't get to take him out. Gay and LMA will be formidable thus year and if Kawhi is the MVP he is capable of being, then look out Cupcake! :ihit

[DeRozan m8]

Spurs don't make the playoffs

[duncan2k5]

Murray becomes 4th leading scorer on the team, and very good defensively by the end of the season

[BillMc]

Harden and CP3 hate each other by the end of the season.

[SAGirl]

Harden and CP3 hate each other by the end of the season.
I have rewatched the Rockets/Spurs game since I DVR it.. and one thing that stood out to me is that those two may not gel. Them getting annointed as a super team is probably not on point, though they will still get hot and torch a lot of bad teams ... they just aren't built for playoff basketball very well. The Rockets do not scare me. Only GSW is formidable but we already knew that.

[UZER]

Manu doesn't retire.

:lol

[hater]

Spurs will finish 5th in West and bounced in round 1 (not really anprediction but common sense)

Dubs will win it all easily (duh)

Cavs will win East easily and lose to dubs

This shit is boring tbqh

Fuck this shit league

[SAGirl]

heh nobody predicted this Lamarcus extension..

[SnakeBoy]

Spurs ring. Book it

[SAGirl]

I am going to revive this:
Bold Prediction:
Dejounte stays the starting PG for the Spurs for the majority of the season.

How's this working out?

[daslicer]

:lol That was way off.

[Robz4000]

Kawhi plays less than 50 games
Spurs actively tank after the ASB
Golden State suffers a key injury (Durbeta, Curry, or Raymond get knocked out for the season/postseason)
Houston and OKC implode
T-Pups make it to the WCF
KAT wins MVP
Cavs don't make the Finals

Welp, 36 games into the season; lets see whats held up:

-Kiwi guaranteed to play less than 50 games
-Curry and Raymond had some injuries (Curry moreso) but nothing significant
-Houston is currently imploding and OKC hasn't been good enough to implode
-T'Pups prolly won't make it to the WCF because...
-:lmao KAT, also I forgot how awful Wiggins is too

[Spurtacular]

Spurs end up with at least the two seed. Houston about to implode.

[ElNono]

OP is a faggot

Looks like I nailed it...

[tholdren]

Murray becomes 4th leading scorer on the team, and very good defensively by the end of the season

Only 7 more to go

[SAGirl]

How's this working out?
Unfortunately not good but he has been inconsistent with some good games scattered in. He should continue to play. He's been improving. Unfortunately his shot is a WIP

[DMC]

I misread the Kawhi Leonard Pussygate issue. 75% ain't bad but not like it's shocking.

[Kuestmaster]

Parker retires mid season

Spurs don't win 50 games due to Kawhi injury

You nailed both of them :toast

[phxspurfan]

You nailed both of them :toast

not particularly happy about this one

[BillMc]

Harden and CP3 hate each other by the end of the season.

I was flat out wrong on that one, must admit.

[dbestpro]

Dubs will win it all easily (duh)

Cavs will win East easily and lose to dubs

This is why the NBA sometimes is more interesting during draft and trade time then when they actually play.
