Realistic Expectations For Next Season?

No excuse for a healthy Spurs team not to win it all.

If things go right, I expect the Spurs to start out slow while teams like the Rockets or Grizzlies start out hot. Some posters will cliff jump while others like Hoop Czar will claim the Spurs aren't on the Rockets or Grizzlies level. Spurs figure shit out in March/April, get a high seed, and win #6.

Already planning next years parade.:flag:

Wins in the upper 50s, top 4 seed in the west, legitimate shot at the Championship.

WCF TBH

July 2009.

We finished the 2009-10 with a mediocre 50-32 record and The Skunker, tbh...

TD and Manu will play another year after to finally get that elusive repeat.

After this loss to the Jazz in summer league, 1st round exit is our ceiling.

I know I'm in the minority, but after watching the 2004 Lakers fail, I know we are not shoe-ins to win anything. If a team that features Kobe, Shaq, Karl Malone and Gary Payton can't win it all, then we have no business taking anything for granted.

With that said, I think we are a backup guard away from having a complete team. What I'd really like to see is us sign a backup center and shop Diaw for a combo guard that can play both the one and two spot and kill from 3pt range.

The guy I'd love to get is Jimmer Ferdette.

Not following this comparison...
This season could be special man...SPECIAL. All we need is a little luck, we have everything else you could possible ask for.

Young talent - danny, kawhi....check

Experienced vets - big 3, diaw, west... (abundance of it)

Good bench - patty, west, diaw, manu (could beat half the league or more)

Great coaching staff - the greatest (read the user name)

And I didn't even mention possibly our leading scorer this year, LMA. Go-to scorer on top of all that? lmao

I know its hard to say something could be better than 5, but this could be close. Duncan(maybe) and Manu going out to a 'ship and leaving it to Kawhi and LMA? Thats just SPURS right there.



nah..5 is too tough
