Predict The Spurs Bottom

[Spurtacular]

Predict when and how bad the Spurs bottom will be....

[dbestpro]

They will lose 50 games this year.

"Spurs will be last in their division within the next four years"... i wouldn't be surprised if the spurs finished this season last in their division. they're already pretty close as it is.

The Spurs' bottom is entirely dependent upon how long Pop sticks around, so there's no way to really vote on the selections provided.

It's called a prediction for a reason, bruh.

[slick'81]

I predicted 30 wins soo ill stick with it

The year the Spurs hit bottom will be the year immediately prior to the departure of the Old Asshole. I'd like to think it is this season, but I am not optimistic.

I don't know about rock bottom, but by the end of the RRT only GS and Minny will be below us in the West. Unfortunately there will still probably be 6 if not 7 teams with worse records in the East. I don't know how hard those teams will tank after the ASG.

You have to have a floor beneath you before you can hit the bottom. This streak could carry over to next year.

People fail to realize this Spurs team has absolutely no future. We’ll be bottom feeders of the NBA for the next 20+ years, like the Knicks.

Certainly possible. But I think the Spurs are historic enough of a franchise that they will be able to attract good coaches and front office people - unless ownership sinks to the Dolan level - again, given the current malaise, certainly possible.

We couldn’t even attract talent when we were elite. Now that we suck, ain’t no way we’re attracting anyone to come here. No one wants to be in San Antonio.

You are talking about players. We have had all kinds of coaching talent, and I think a historic franchise like the Spurs will not have a problem attracting an excellent new regime - IF ownership recognizes it and acts accordingly. Some excellent coach looking to make a name for himself will jump at the opportunity to resurrect this franchise. It will be in ashes when Pop finally departs. Plus, the Spurs ownership obviously prizes continuity and stability. They'll give a new coach a lot of rope. Coaches are much less interested in exciting night life than young athletes.

I also meant coaches. Who did we attract? Jim Boylen? Everyone else jumped away from the Spurs the moment they could.

Everybody got a better gig, dude. Maybe last season the coaches left for different reasons, but historically Spurs guys have stayed a long while, learned their craft and gotten better gigs.

This is actually a thread that you gotta wonder about with the trajectory we are on. I had a long conversation with some Spurs fans in Austin, Texas tonight with the basic premise being 'we are pretty fucking spoiled' that last 20 years. I don't think we'll necessarily be any worse than we are now next year, but that's not exactly a high bar. I'll need to re-read the prediction options, but we are out of the playoffs for the first time in 22 years and barring some miraculous turn around that's where are staying.

100%

The thing i see is that this team isn't any worse than last year. It's the same team this year and will be next year. LAst year's team got lucky because i think more teams tanked in what looked like another warrior cake walk. So the spurs got lucky and Derrick White played well.

I think "worse team in the league" is subjective. The warriors are the worse this year but are obviously fine in the long run. the spurs aren't the worse now but don't have a future.

I don't think they'll ever bottom out into a top 5 pick. They'll get another set of "nice" players and try again. The odds of finding a kawhi or getting a lottery win be too temptingfor a team not used to true tanking.

Gay and LMA were more spry. Players like White have actually regressed. Gregg starting Lyles and Forbes; I don't think the players are exactly motivated that the guys who should be about 11 and 13 in the pecking order are getting such perks either.

It would be nice if the Spurs got a top five pick for all their dysfunctional, but as I said, Pop's ego won't allow him to do a true tank job. Maybe in a few years if we suck enough regardless though.

Do you mean all the coaches who left the Spurs for professional advancement opportunities earned as a result of their time Here?

[itzsoweezee]

Spurs are definitely finishing with a bottom 3 record in the Western conference this year.

The poptards couldn't have been more wrong about this team and should never be heard from again.

Imagine building your team around an antiquated, perennial loser like DeRozan, then making Butt Forbes the main supporting piece.

What a dumb organization.
