Bench 26 PPG
Good thread bro.
I was thinking this. This is what we need for us to have a chance in hell:
- LMAlpha - 19ppg
- Kawbeta - 15ppg
- MVPorker - 14ppg
- Duncan - 10ppg
- Green - 10ppg
- Bench - 35ppg
The bench and porker are going to be the question marks.
We lost Ferrari. Huge loss. And porker? Well see
Can't wait to see Kawhi dominate the league :tu
Depends on minutes, honestly. Like if Green gets 30-plus, then he'll probably be closer to 13-14ppg. If Aldridge goes down to 30ish, then he'll probably into the high teens. Same goes for Kawhi, who will lose touches to Parker as well as LMA. Tim's numbers seem about right if he only plays 24mpg or so. If he's at 30-plus, he'll be up there with the other guys.
The bench is also interesting as individuals. West needs his touches, and I expect him to get double-digit points. Mills probably as well. So the combo of Manu, Anderson/Simmons (not Jimmer) and Diaw are still unaccounted for, and I think they get more than 6 combined points.
Feel like "Kawhiota" would be a better pejorative for Leonard, but that's just me.
LMA & Kawhi both 16-18 PPG. Everyone else less with starters averaging 70-72 PPG. Bench averages 30-35PPG. Offense should be 103-105 PPG.
So something like:
LMA: 18
Kawhi: 17
TP: 14
Tim: 12
Danny: 10
How many points are ariza and beal going to combine for?
LMA won't be a factor since he'll be lost to a knee injury throughout most of the season. Kawhi's hand problem will flare up per usual. I think it'll be
West 9
Duncan 12
Kawhi 14
Green 11
Fat Tony 13
Bench 30-35
It'll be a pretty disappointing season imo
Danny rarely has plays called for him, and the ones that he has called for him are in situations where he's still the best option. So I don't expect to see his points go down, especially given that his minutes should increase. Plus, he's going to be the beneficiary of being the fifth option on the opposing team's scouting report. Unless Danny goes through a shooting slump, he should push 15pp36.Quote:

Truth. Like poor Jerome Kersey, who had a nice long career, tried to exorcise those demons with a 'ship and retiring but the blazers curse caught up with him.Quote:

There's no way Kawhi averages more points than LMA.
LMA will rightfully be the #1 offensive option, which will allow Kawhi to focus on what he does best: defense.

Yeah. Kawhi can't be traded until 01/15, and Beal will be a poison pill player by then, most likely.Quote:

He averaged 14.6 last season while playing like absolute shit and averaging 28 mpg. Granted there will be less touches now with Aldridge, but still.Quote:

I think Aldridge easily averages 20ppg. I think his average will go down a little but not by 4-7ppg. He will be getting looks he's never gotten before. Spurs run a lot of plays that he can feast from. Its not like the Blazers were absent of offensive players. And he played next to one of the bigger chuckers in the league the last couple years. He will be by far our best offensive player. Kawhi is a beast no doubt but lol at anyone thinking he is going to average more than LMA
Yeah...and he took way too many shots to get those points. Per minute, his assists were down, his points were down, and his shooting % was down. Not to mention the defensive liability.Quote:

Looks about right.

Hoping for a injured Parker over a healthy Parker is an idea that can only be thought up on the short bus route. If you don't get off it won't be long before you're hoping to trade Kawhi for Ariza and Beal.
Agree with this. I don't really see anyone averaging 20 a game tbh. Maybe Kawhi or LMA in the playoffs when their minutes go up. Don't see anyone hitting 20 in regular season though.Quote:

Think our bench will be strong, but our starting line-up has improved offensively.
LMA-19
Kawhi-18
TP-15
Green-13
Tim-12 only because of his limited minutes
Bench-28
Porker with 4ppg like last playoffs. Lol

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...season/page/31
Aldridge 20 PPG
Kawhi 18 PPG
Tony 13 PPG (if not running dribble dribble)
Tim 12 PPG
Danny 11.5 PPG
Manu 10 PPG
West 8 PPG
Patty/Diaw 5-6 PPG
Jimmer - 38 PPG (for my dude Spurtacular)
:lol Don't be surprised if Jimmer puts up a 38 on the board in a game next seasson.Quote:

50 ppg is a minimum for us.
-The Spurs had a distributed offense between starters and reserves last seasons, now we have Aldridge as go-to scorer.Quote:

I know, 33-35 is a low scoring for the bench but the Spurs won't increase the pace.
There are some well known nba analysts who always give the spurs crap for having a balanced point distribution and not one or two scorers who score at/more than 20ppg in a season. LMA is probably going to avg between 18-20, kawhi at 15-16. I'm not worried about scoring but assist rate. Because the spurs in 2014 average like 25apg. It was considerably less in 2015, as opposed to the Warriors who averaged between 27-29 apg. Obviously it's a good sign if the spurs can replicate that assist rate from 2014 or improve next season.
Our PGs weren't healthy all season, Kawhi missed games too and should be replaced with less effective players, really low team 3 point shooting field goal percentage in the first half of the season...many variables with high influence on the game and assists.Quote:

-There is no way Aldridge would play 35 minutes at PF in regular season games with healthy West, Bonner, Diaw. All the new "old" guys can play and pass, so mixed with Diaw, Patty and Manu the bench and team will increase the pace even more than we could imagine.
Much of this thread is an exercise in futility. Here are the Spurs' per-game averages from last season:
http://i58.tinypic.com/2hplpg5.png
That last column adds up to 129.9. Just think about that for a second.
Forecasting individual per-game averages is fine. Trying to make them add up to a "reasonable" number like 103 or 106 doesn't work unless you assume that every player will play every game. We all know that isn't going to happen.
Parker-14ppg 28 mpg
Green-11 ppg-28 mpg
Leonard-17.5 ppg-32 mpg
Aldridge-20.5-33mpg
Duncan-13 ppg-27 mpg
-------------------------
76 PPG from the starters
probably 107 ppg for the team
Is it October yet? :wakeup
It shouldn't be hard to increase the pace, the Spurs weren't a fast team last season (17th). Portland, ranked 12th in Pace last year and got off 86 FGA per game. If the Spurs push the pace to around that level, that's about 3.5 more shots per game.Quote:

I'm expecting about 33 mpg for Aldridge. 28 mpg at the 4 and 5 at the 5.
PF
LMA-28
West-20
C
Duncan-27
LMA-5
Diaw-16(With rest games Diaw would average more than 16 mpg.)

This TBH. Bench will play. Pop always plays the long game: keeping guys healthy and bouncy for the playoffs, not running guys into the ground who will then flameout. You could argue a number of play-off teams have flamed out in recent years because of lack of bench support, injuries or some guys having had too much of a burden. Regular season is when you find out who among the new kids is going to give you some energy when the team needs it.Quote:
