Eight Predictions Thread

[Kori Ellis]

Eight games are left on the road trip. Make eight predictions for the rest of the Spurs season.

1. Udoka will start in Finley's place at some point on the road trip.

2. The Spurs will go 6-3 on the trip.

3. One Spurs bench player will get traded for nothing (maybe for a useless player who gets waived) and the Spurs will sign Damon Stoudamire.

4. TP will struggle with his heel for the next month and Pop will reduce his minutes.

5. Manu will average 25 points a game in February.

6. TP will be healthy by March 1 and finish off the season playing incredible basketball.

7. Spurs will meet the Celtics in the Finals.

8. Bravatars.

Only way number 7 gonna happen is if the Spurs can some how avoid the Mavs in the playoffs again. If the Spurs play the Mavs they have less than a 20% chance of advancing :elephant

My eight predictions:

1. Spurs either go 5-4 or 4-5 on this trip.

2. Unless Parker starts playing better, Manu will have to move back into the starting lineup.

3. With the bigs outside of Duncan sucking, expect more of small ball with Udoka at power forward.

4. Bowen's shooting slump ends against the Celtics.

5. Pop gets ejected versus Cleveland.

6. Spurs will be involved in trade rumors while dangling Barry's expiring contract.

7. Unless Horry shows life, Bonner will be the third big by the end of the trip.

8. Spurs will be a seventh or eight seed by the time the trip ends and the vultures will start to circle. But as long as the Big Three are healthy, they'll make a run and end up a three or four seed.

[DazedAndConfused]

I don't care if the Spurs win another game all season but please BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THE SUNS WHEN YOU PLAY THEM NEXT.

[Tek_XX]

1. Spurstalk commenter Tek won't finish all 8 predictions

2. Spurs lose in WCF to the Suns.

[bigfundamental21]

1. Udoka will move into the starting lineup.

2. Pop will sit Parker until after the all-star break when he will come back and play his Finals MVP style.

3. Spurs sign Stoudamire and send Richardson back to the D-League.

4. Barry will come back healthier than ever and give us the final piece to our playoff roster.

5. Celtics will lose in the Conference Finals to the Pistons in a 7 game slugfest.

6. Spurs will plow their way into the playoffs on a huge lift from the signing of Stoudamire and the return of Barry.

7. Manu will play out of his mind in the playoffs and lead us to the Championship and win Finals MVP.

8. Everyone on ST will say they never doubted our Spurs would win it all.

[ploto]

Unless the Mavs trade Kidd for Diop, George, and Stackhouse as rumored. :smokin

[sabar]

1. Pop stubbornly places Udoka in the doghouse for several games

2. Pop realizes Udoka is the only life left in the team

3. Udoka starts

4. Manu starts

5. Tony's heel spur prognosis is poor and will take 8 months to heal if he keeps logging heavy minutes. Pop plays him less.

6. Spurs waive a player and sign a 3rd PG to let Parker rest

7. Spurs grab 5th seed and lose in the conference finals to the Suns/Mavs

8. Tony's heel spurs don't heal and requires surgery in January 2009, the one year period rest pre-req to surgically remove spurs. We win in all in 2009.

[1Parker1]

1) Spurs won't make any legit trades/signs that they desperately need
2) Manu and Udoka will be inserted into the starting lineup in place of Finley and Oberto
3) Bowen will finally hit a 3 sometime soon
4) Spurs go .500 in their rodeo trip
5) Pop gets ejected at least one game on this trip
6) Parker will miss some playing time after the trip is over
7) Spurs won't make it to the finals with their current roster or even the WCF
8) Duncan will average 25 and 12 on the Rodeo trip

[urunobili]

1- Parker will sit more than two weeks
2- Robert Horry will be back in shape after ASG
3- Udoka won't start a game unless Bruce goes down
4- Manu will be back to the starting lineup
5- there will be no trades
6- The Celtics will lose in the second round to the wizards
7- the Spurs will be the 7th seed
8- TD will get another finals MVP with the same controversy as 2005 that it should have been shared with Manu

[Bruno]

1. Spurs will finish the road trip with a 3-6 record.

2. TP won't play the second leg of the RRT. He will be back at 80% after the ASG and be at 100% for the playoffs.

3. Spurs will trade Elson and a first round pick for Ryan Gomes.

4. Damon Stoudamire will go to Boston. Spurs will sign mike Wilks to a 10 days contract for the second leg of the RRT.

5. Spurs will have a 24-6 record after the ASG, finishing the season with a 56-26 record.

6. Spurs will win the WCF and will take their revenge on Mavs by beating them 4-2.
