[Prime BEEF]

1-7

[itzsoweezee]

They'll be lucky to get 2 wins (assuming popovich does what I expect and makes no adjustments to Forbes' and Walker's roles in this team)

[Maddog]

2-6

This would be a great outcome.

[weeks]

3-5 seems likely

[Strategic]

3-5

[Robz4000]

1-7

[timtonymanu]

1-7

[RC_Drunkford]

1-7 they will beat the Kings in a nailbiter and lose all the other games. Bryn Forbes will average over 28 minutes while doing so.

[Fireball]

1-7

[SPURt]

8-0, it’s gonna all come together finally!

[lmbebo]

2/3 - @ Clippers - L

2/11 - @ Thunder - L
2/21 - @ Jazz - L
2/23 - @ Thunder - L

[emanueldavidginobili]

2-6 and that’s me being optimistic

[Sugus]

I'm thinking they go 3-5. But seeing the Spurs end up with a 5-3 RRT record wouldn't surprise me either... It's all about wether Pop has learnt which players should be on the court and when.

[slick'81]

3-5

[vavvi]

3-5, given Forbes is playing under 18 mpg

[sasaint]

They'll be lucky to get 2 wins (assuming popovich does what I expect and makes no adjustments to Forbes' and Walker's roles in this team)

This. 2-6 unless Pop turns the reins over to Becky. If so, then they might go 4-4. Becky would nail Bryn to the bench.

[TDomination]

Honestly with the bipolarness of this team, I seriously wouldn’t be surprised with like a 6-2 trip and then once we come back home we lose 3 straight.

[spurraider21]

8-0

[C-Dub]

3-5.
Win against 1 of the LA teams, at Nuggets and 1 of the Thunder games.

[FkLA]

8-0

:flag:

[JeffDuncan]

I'll go with 8 - 0 until proven wrong.

[ducks]

6-2

[BackHome]

It’s going to be 2wins and 6 losses at this point Spurs should shut down the old guys and see what you have with the new kids.

This draft doesn’t have any all star Timmy Duncan type of players but the sweet spot is 9 to 14 were we could get a very good starter type of player.

[Uriel]

3-5 is the obvious and right choice.

[bluebellmaniac]

2/3 - @ Clippers - W
2/4 - @ Lakers - W
2/6 - @ TrailBlazers - L
2/8 - @ Kings - W
2/10 - @ Nuggets - L
2/11 - @ Thunder - L
2/21 - @ Jazz - W
2/23 - @ Thunder - W

5-3

This is when SPAM happens baby!

[KobesAchilles]

is Forbes still starting?
0-8

[look_at_g_shred]

The @ Utah and @ Portland and @ SAC games are for sure L's. We have ALWAYS had trouble winning at those places.

[Gorepopovich]

Forbes starting: 2-6
Forbes sitting: 6-2

[sananspursfan21]

The thing I’ve learned with this year’s team: don’t count them out of the most unrealistic wins and don’t assume the gimmes are automatic W’s. I’m going with an optimistic 5-3. They’ll drop to the Kings, Nuggets, and one of the Thunder. Preferably the first Thunder game as I’ll be in the stands for second one :spin

[Mugen]

1-7 for sure

[DPG21920]

They have been a .500 team for a while so I will go 4-4

[Jsmythe]

Given their current road record of 8-14 (.364 win rate), unless something changes like benching Forbes, I predict a 3-5 road trip. Probably like this:

2/3 - @ Clippers - L
2/4 - @ Lakers - L
2/6 - @ TrailBlazers - W
2/8 - @ Kings - W
2/10 - @ Nuggets - L
2/11 - @ Thunder - L
2/21 - @ Jazz - L
2/23 - @ Thunder - W

[I'm confused]

1-7

[John B]

6-2. Demar will beast against WC teams for the snub :makemyday

[phxspurfan]

0-10

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

7-1

but they get blown out by 30 in one game

[gambit1990]

i’ll go 3-5.

[baseline bum]

Coin flip between 1-7 and 0-8?

[GAustex]

2 and 6

[offset formation]

3-5

[JeffDuncan]

I'll go with 8 - 0 until proven wrong.


I thought it might not take long. But okay, 7 - 1.

[phxspurfan]

0-10

So far so good

[JeffDuncan]

My guess is now 6 - 2. Pending the next update...

Well you can count them out of two unrealistic wins now.

[DPG21920]

This POR game is huge (assuming SA doesn’t blow it up next 2 days). HUGE

[SayTown]

Hopefully 0-8. I'd rather not watch 4 games in April vs the Lakers just like tonight's.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Memphis is hanging at .500 and NO has the second easiest SOS remaining, and Zion is playing like people thought he would. The Spurs are going to have to get hot, and four other teams are going to have to flounder.

If they lose this game to Portland, their chances of getting that 8 seed are really slim. But that will be about 9 hours after the trade deadline.

Just pull the trigger and move on. 0-8 works.

[phxspurfan]

0-10

so far so good again

[RC_Drunkford]

:lol at people thinking the Spurs will win the Portland game. Kings game is the only game where they stand a chance and even that is a long shot

[sananspursfan21]

Shut up! Lol

[FutureMan]

This POR game is huge (assuming SA doesn’t blow it up next 2 days). HUGE

That game is the one that decides tanking vs pushing for the playoffs in my opinion. It’s just annoying that the deadline is hours before the game.

[sasaint]

Actually I think this team could go 0-for the rest of the season. We have seen glimpses of excitement and energy from some of the guys when Bryn is benched. The team is crying out for SOME change. If those cries go unanswered, I could see them giving up entirely. Friend, Mugen has been saying for weeks that the Old Asshole has lost the team, and their play has often supported that claim. Barring some shakeup in the next +/-40 hours, I think we might well see the team sleep-walk through the remainder of this abysmal season.

[sasaint]

:lol at people thinking the Spurs will win the Portland game. Kings game is the only game where they stand a chance and even that is a long shot

Nah, once this team stands pat at the deadline, it is toast.

POP may quit soon! Thank god! Bad season!

[ZeusWillJudge]

Shut up! Lol


:D

[sananspursfan21]

:D

What a lousy prediction in hindsight :lol

[GAustex]

2 and 6
Can I change my pick?
0-8

[slick'81]

Can I change my pick?
0-8


I feel stoopid for saying (3-5)

[Budkin]

Rooting for the winless RRT!

[spurs10]

It's not looking great. Is it?

[baseline bum]

Coin flip between 1-7 and 0-8?

Well, so much for that one game I considered a coin flip.

[look_at_g_shred]

The @ Utah and @ Portland and @ SAC games are for sure L's. We have ALWAYS had trouble winning at those places.

man I'm good

[sananspursfan21]

Anybody who jokingly or seriously predicted a winless road trip is sitting pretty tall right about now...

[DPG21920]

Even the most pessimistic fan couldn’t have predicted this.Losing to a bad Kings team who was on a back to back.

This is when people start to ask if the team quit. You would think the FO not trading players would give them a short term fake confidence booth (we believe in this team yada yada) but nope.

Predicted this. This team not only is terrible and extremely frustrating to watch/very hateable, but also is one of the worst teams in the league.

[Budkin]

I can't wait until the 0-fer is set in stone to see how Pop reacts.
