Brutal West standings watch

[phxspurfan]

https://www.si.com/nba/standings/conference

Spurs at this point are 7-5, good for 5th in the brutal 2018-2019 West standings. One more loss, and our beloved Spurs will be 7-6. Guess where this puts our Spurs? Tied for 11th, behind the LeBrons and just barely ahead of the Rockettes (who are improving)! :lol :lol GSG

Guess who we play this Saturday!


Guess!

Is Curry playing?

He's likely out but they won't need him when they got Quinn Cook to shit on Mills/Forbes/White

[SuperCam]

this has been a .500 at best, most likely losing record kind of team that started off against a very weak schedule. only team spur have beaten that is above .500 is laker and they were missing players...

Pretty sure the Spurs are missing players too.

[Coach X]

The schedule for the next 10 days after the Phoenix must-win looks terrifying. @LAC(SEGABABA), B2B GSW+@NOL, MEM, and B2B @IND+@MIL. Spurs are not winning any of those games without playing better as a team and could lose even playing well. Get ready to see them at the bottom of the West. And don't panic.

Injuries will start affecting some teams sooner or later and losing streaks will arrive. Only the Suns look already out of the playoff run so its about time the West standings clarify as teams are playing each other on a daily basis.

This Spurs team doesn't have the talent to allow itself not to play good basketball. There is no margin for mistakes. They need to improve their team play in order to win on the road and against playoff teams. I expect the team to be around 0.500 until the end of RS when the schedule gets more favorable.

I won't be surprised if PATFO makes a small but strategical move before the deadline. They want to win now as much as possible and this roster needs something else without Dejounte Murray.

Agree. I think we could’ve won 2-3 more games with a healthy squad tbh

And the Pelicans.. And the Rockets probably aren't a true sub .500 team, tho they definitely regressed. They had their 2 main guys, and I'm pretty sure they have a +.500 record when they play

[benfti]

We play the suns next, and we get golden state on the second game of a back to back

stop being a bitch.

[pad300]

I can live with this. I thought there was a small chance of a lottery season, even before we lost Murray and other guards started dropping like flies... My hopes involve player development (White, Walker, ?Poetl?, ?Metu?), and lottery balls.

Some of you haven't been fans very long. Back in the day, 10-12 years ago, the Spurs used to turn over 5-6 players per year, and there was always an adjustment period to learn each other's games. That's the reason that EHJ invented SPAM. The team hovered a little bit over .500, and then took off after the RRT.

If you're watching the standings now, you're doing it wrong.

[BD24]

Will be interesting to see what happens when walker gets back. Hopefully pop gives him minutes because he is much needed out there. White has already made a very positive impact. The team looks much better with him back

I just hope Pop doesn't do him like he did White and redshirt/G-League him, to help him get over himself because this team needs all the young talent it can get.

Are prime Duncan, Parker and Manu coming back after the RRT too? Like I get what you're saying but the constants (those three) are too different (if you consider LaMarcus, DeMar and Gay as our big 3). The only constant is Pop and he's still stuck in the past with the way this roster is constructed.

Those teams had a switch which they turned on during the RRT.

The point is that it takes time to get everyone on the same page. No, T,T,&M are not coming back. That does not mean this team won't have a big kick after the ASB.

in the Timmy era, we never had to worry about the standings. We were a playoff team, period. We all knew that. And then once the RRT hit like you mentioned, then it was time to really care.

Now, we know we have a limited team. We know every win matters. No game is guaranteed like in the past. I think that is why we are watching the standings a bit more than before.

But in reality, it is too early. If we are able to have a 10 game winning streak or multiple 7 + game winning streaks during the season, than we should be close to 50 wins.
If we can't get past a 5 game winning streak, then we will likely be a 40 win team.

Raymond is suspended for tonight’s game. It will be interesting to see how they react against the Spurs after their confrontation.

It seems like the NBA it’s already plotting what could be KD’s revenge against the Warriors next season.

[Mugen]

Spurs at 7-5 now.

26 games between now and the end of the year. Looking at the schedule, probably a good chance they go 7-19 during that stretch.

That would put them at 14-24, 10 games below .500 and way out of the playoff race by January 1.

I think that SHOULD be enough to get the front office thinking about selling off LMA and other pieces, hopefully that's the route they take tbh.

[Mugen]

They're gonna be several games below .500 pretty damn soon and might be out of the playoff race completely by early to mid December.

Going to be really interesting to see what Pop and RC do when that happens. As I correctly predicted during the Kawhi saga, I don't think they have the stomach for "war-time" scenarios and panic sold on the Nephew.

There will probably be some rumblings from soft ass Lamarcus by then....not sure if the Holts have enough liquid assets on hand to facilitate another RC trade when he's giving out 10mil to get taken to the woodshed again tbh.

:lol

White, Murray, Gay all basically in and out or completely out in preseason and beginning of the season. Could've been a different picture. New teammates worse off no opportunity for chemistry and our best defenders haven't been playing on the perimeter. Aldridge of course having to acclimate with Derozan. This with the fact Aldridge shot ridiculously bad (Career bad). We are only 2 games out of 8th and like 3 or 4 games out of homecourt advantage. West is just that deep this year.

It's not though. It's just the Warriors (who'll be alright) and a bunch of average to mediocre teams. If you consider that deep, then I don't know what to tell you.

[therealtruth]

The West is tough right now so there's not a lot of separation. Yet past Spurs teams would have used the easier schedule to pad on some wins. Now the team has a tougher schedule remaining and not much area for improvements unless they make some moves.

[dbestpro]

Warriors aren't what they were. They are favorites for sure but Houston could beat them and then a bunch of tough playoff matchups. Same as last year but a lot less bad teams. So yea, its deeper for sure.
