I'm wondering if we're going to be out of the playoff picture by Wednesday...
though it's fun to joke about the lottery as a way to highlight how disappointing the Spurs are . . .
How likely is it that the Spurs make the lottery really?
If the teams below them maintain their current percentage, the Spurs would have to go like 12-16 the rest of the way for New Orleans to edge them out.
Unless Parker is hurt so much he's missing weeks and not days, I have to believe they'd still be more likely to make the playoffs than not.

The worst part is that Houston and New Orleans aren't consistent either, and those teams will have to win for the Spurs to miss the playoffs..
The worst thing that could still happen to top off this horrible season would be losing to the Lakers in the 1st round..I would rather just not have to see that ..
Memphis still has a shot too...
yeah, but the guy they traded for to bring some much needed depth to their ridiculously shallow bench tore his hamstring his first game.
Their main guys are fatigued, and they'll be lucky to finish 41-41. Spurs would have to go 10-18 and lose tiebreakers.
Me either. That would be like sending a lamb to slaughter.
I don't want to see any more playoff series where the Spurs are overmatched. I'd rather take my chancesin the draft lottery.
Don't underestimate us this season... have you seen our remaining schedule?
Why? So we draft Kyprika Tapioca, and let him develop overseas and never see him again?... j/k
I've seen it, but even with Pop doing his bizarre lineups and rotations and players up and down the team being disappointments, it's still a really bad record they would have to have to miss the playoffs. I know the schedule is brutal, but I think they can sneak enough wins in there by grinding Tim, Tony and Manu's joints into dust to make it in.
Ultimately, the difference between being 9th in the west and 8th with the draft is the difference between 14 & 18. Not too big a difference now, and after the trades in the east, maybe the difference shrinks.
No, we draft Kyprika and stick him in a sportcoat straitjacket and don't pick up his option.Why? So we draft Kyprika Tapioca, and let him develop overseas and never see him again?... j/k
I agree. I'd rather miss the playoffs then get knocked out in the first round by the Lakers.
Lottery consists of the teams who didn't make the playoffs. 14 teams total. We'd have a shot at a top 10 pick.
Who is Kyprika Tapioca?Why? So we draft Kyprika Tapioca, and let him develop overseas and never see him again?... j/k
I googled the name but nothing came up, or are you being sarcastic?
Pity Popovich is already on the bench... maybe he could take the remainder of the year off, take Tim and Tony on a wine tasting tour of France.... they can all come back energised and ready for a "farewell tour".
lol Kyprika Tapioca
BTW, no knock on you cherylsteele. I just think it's hilarious that's actually plausible we're going for a foreigner nobody ever heard of.

So, you are giving me grief for trying to find out about an unknown player or what?
Since this season sucks and the Spurs are like a fat, drunk, ugly mexican chick after hours at Noche Caliente and you want to take her home but are worried about what your buddies might say, I say tank the season.
if we can tank to get Evan Turner that will be great, i became a big fan of Turner and back court of Turner/Hill will be amazing, than we could trade Tony Parker for a PF and maybe also trade RJ who will have an expiring contract.
i like a trade of Parker for Josh Smith and a trade of RJ for Prince.
we would keep Ginobili to be our sixth man!
and this will be our team:
Turner/de Colo
Hill/Ginobili
Prince/Hairston
Smith/McDyess/Blair
Duncan/Splitter
The way I see it, Tim has a few years left. With no trades made at the deadline, it will be hard to win a championship this year.
- Tank this year.
- Get a Top 5 lotto pick that can help right away, no prospect
- Get Splitter here
- Reload the roleplayers, hold a gun to TP's head before he plays for the NT, re-sign Manu
- Trade RJ for another $15 million player
- Storm into the 2011 Playoffs
tat actually sounds pretty good. But .. too many ifs ....
Tank this year, no PO revenue, no holt support
Bad luck with pick, and honestly how many rookies perform well for their teams statistically, odds are pretty low ...
Splitter needs a buyout for that last year + one year to learn the system, means ....
TP wants to be in HOF, im sure Manu being a lock in because of his international career has encouranged him in this aspect....
resign manu - not easy because of money issues, plus manu has implied he is not going to do the spurs any "favours" by taking less money on his final contract which is fair ....
trade Rj for another 15$ dollar player... already over luxury tax, lockout season looming ... need a 1 year rental trade ... not many fit the bill better than rj himself ....
but yeato the end ... lets see how it shapes up ....
