did this go down?!?
Let's revisit this
did this go down?!?
I doubt they win 5 more games from hereon much less 9. Vegas underestimated Pop’s ability to tank
But it’s the year to tank if ever. And I don’t doubt TP and Bobo had insights on Wemby (on top of what everybody already know) that finally convinced PATFO to go all in, that and the flawed roster, etc.
Your take was certainly better than mine here. Well done.
11 Home
11 Road
Home 9-21 for about .315
Road 5-25 this is where Pop has really excelled at .169
If these %s were to hold.....where are our mathemeticians?
11 home x 0.315 = 3.465
11 Road x 0.169 = 1.859
5.324 expected wins... but we are much worse now than the beginning on the season
Yes, so shave 2 or 3 off that number.
So was right on about the Spurs - lack of PG play definitely was a big issue. Keldon and Devin have stepped up and done an admirable job creating on their own to put up 20PPG (even though rough at times)
I’m surprised the defense was THIS bad though tbh…but that sealed the deal.
Kings were obvious IMO and already have the over - great for them.
POR is not as good as I thought they would be. They seemed like they were on the right track but derailed some lately. But if they go like 500 rest of the way I think they can hit the over still? But not looking good especially with the trade deadline they had.
Nope. Keep in mind that this was in July. A contingent wanted us to tank, but I’m not sure how many actually thought the Spurs would go whole hog.
With all the musical chairs lineups that pop deploys, I expect maybe another 3 wins for a total of 17, but I wouldn't be surprised at just 2 more wins. When you have your third string center playing in an ot game against a really bad team, you are trying to lose. This team was designed to be bad.
What is great is hopes for the play-in were squashed to start the NY. I think we organically finish with 19 wins.
If CHA can get to 22 wins (so 5 more in their last 22 games) I think SA is safe to be in bottom 3. I can see SA getting Devin+Sochan back and winning 5-7 more especially since 2 of those wins may be against HOU back to back coming up soon.
That would mean just 3-5 more wins to get to 21 if SA beats HOU 2x.
After the Houston games, there's no win to be had to finish out the season. Another incoming 15+ loss steak.
I kind of feel like not having Primo has really hurt our ability to lose games.
More likely they lose both to Houston than win both but most likely a split between the two tanking teams.
They migth catch a team on a back to back with some injuries.
They’ve smoked HOU 2x already, have a 15 game losing streak and HOU is still behind them lol. It’s definitely more likely that SA wins both than loses both. Hoping for at least a split.
Actually Houston was leading then pulled Sengun in the 4th quarter, who was having a great game, to conveniently throw the game. Also since then, Spurs have moved Poodle, J-Rich and Stanley, Spurs better defenders. I doubt they win over Houston next game. I highly doubt this team wins at all
Just noticed something too looking at standings…DET/SA/CHA all have 22 games left. HOU has 24…so may come in handy with HOU having 2 extra games & 4 of them being vs CHA/DET/SA
Obviously the 2 coming up are big vs HOU.
, I'm gonna be right aren't I?
spurs are 8-21 when vassell plays, 6-25 when he's been out. im not worried that his return is going to suddenly get us on some unwanted hot streak.
heck, with all the injuries and tank management, we had 18 games this year where our "starting 5" played. Tre/Vassell/Kelon/Sochan/Poeltl. and we went 5-13 in games where all those guys suited up. while its a better win% than we have for the year, its still not exactly the sign of a team thats going to steal a bunch of wins. and now there's no poeltl either going forward
really think the spurs are going to rack up wins with this roster after having dealt jak and richardson, 2 of the steady contributors we've had?
If Spurs beat HOU both times they will win 5-6 total from here
When pretenders like Utah and Portland start jockeying for better draft position, sure.
