Maybe the lakers werent predicted to win it all when the season started. Because no bynum and no gasol. But when gasol came aboard they sure were sent into the mix. And I totally agree, right now there is no pressure. Win or lose it will be fun only if Pop makes it fun. And even before the season started he was having fun. Pop knew how tough this season would be once Manu went down. He also knew how hard this season would be when he looked at his roster and couldnt fill the needs it needed. Now a handful of games into the season and TP goes down. We all know what to expect now. Now I honestly believe the doom and gloom threads will slow down.
Logical.
wow talk about throwing in the towel early.If spurs win at least 4 games in this stretch they will be fine once manu + parker come back. settle down
wow talk about throwing in the towel early.at your comforting comment... thought you were here to hate...
I hate quitters how about that?
ok you got me there
That's what I'm hoping for...we've got to try to get to .500 by the time we get healthy. I don't think it's impossible.
Hmmm, I am wanting to say 9-6. My reasoning is because I think the Spurs might be on to something. And the rotations will be more clear.
So if the Spurs are 3-17 after 20 games, how far out of playoff contention will they be? Seven or eight? If they get everyone back at that point, who thinks they can't make that up? I've asked this a number of times and I'm still waiting for an answer from those of you with ropes around the shower rod.
+1
and I don't mean one more win...
There's no freaking way they would make the playoffs if they started 3-17. I can pretty much guarantee that's never happened in the history of the NBA.
So you're predicting 4-16 and they miss the playoffs, right?
The 8th team in the west is probably going to be somewhere around .500, so that would put the Spurs 4, maybe 5 games back with 62 to go.
Given the latest statements from Tony Parker I'm definitely saying they will miss the playoffs. I had no idea that his ankle was previously injured. That kind of chronic injury just doesn't become healed in the middle of the season.
You can't see it in perspective?
3-12 for me, sadly.
re: playoffs and number of wins
Just to remind everybody, Golden State won 48 games last year and still missed the playoffs.
Going back to the 99-00 season, no team in the Western Conference has made the playoffs with a record of .500 or worse.
And while Golden State will be worse this year, other teams will be better, like Portland and Sacramento.
in fact the west was so tight last year that even if Golden State had managed 2 more wins to get to 50 wins they still would have missed the playoffs because Denver had the tie-breaker.
If the Spurs start out 5-15 or 4-16 with 62 games remaining they'll be close to done because it's not like Parker and Ginobili will be magically in great shape and in good rhythms right off the inactive list. With a worn down Duncan. With Oberto and Thomas and Finley doing their routines.
So the spurs have a margin of 50 wins or so to make the playoffs. They already have 4 losses and add another 12 before they get parker back. That leaves for a 46-16 record the rest of the way.
Its not going to happen that they play to a 45 or 46 wins to 16 or 17 loss record.
I think the west of this year is not going to win as many games as west of last year. So it will not be a requirement to win over 50 games.
Spurs will make the playoffs, I can bet anything on it.
6,7 or 8 seed
No one can really answer this question yet. We need to see just how much Tim can take us on his back and if the FO is going to finally make some moves.
1-14
Could you be stupider?
