40 wins in the next 8 games only on the back to back night with knicks and hornets is a loss really even that likely.
I think 40 wins's first. Man I hope they stay healthy.
no brainer : 40 wins
They're one win away from 35-6 -- exactly halfway to 70-12.
They won't get 70 wins but should get 40 wins before 10 losses (that's only 6-3 over the next 9).
I remember espn had set up a page to compare the progress of LA, Miami, and later added the Spurs to the Bulls 72 wins season game by game.
Can't seem to find the link to it anymore. Does anybody have it or did espn take it down?
I think the Spurs get 50 wins before they reach 12 loses
40 wins. Dever & Utah should preseent a decent challenge, but I am actually more worried about the B2B with NY & NO. I think we only lose 1 out of the next 7.
jesus christ... the bulls lost their last 3 games by a combined 3 points.
I know they lost to a handful of scrub teams that season as well. Pretty remarkable.
40 wins imho
40 wins. Because they are a very good team.
The Spurs still have a difficult road to get the top seed realistically - They play 10 backs to backs vs. 6 by the LAL and 3 more road games (plus the LAL play a road game today at the Clippers) The teams play each other 3 times including the 2nd last game of the season.
All I want it that top seed and the record does not matter after that a damm but it will be a fight to get it and the LAL are fully capable of stealing it if the SAS have any key injuries or slip up. http://espn.go.com/nba/features/best (Shows schedules both teams remaining)
Not really, the only compe or for the 1st spot are the Lakers and they have a much heavier schedule ahead than us. We have 3 more games against them and they aren't b2b games.The Spurs still have a difficult road to get the top seed realistically - They play 10 backs to backs vs. 6 by the LAL and 3 more road games (plus the LAL play a road game today at the Clippers
I will state again, that I feel SAS is not a lock for top seed in the West - the Spurs play in reality 4 more road games (counting LAL vs. Clippers as a pseudo road game for them) and 4 more back to backs than LAL.
LAL schedule will be harder (they have played so far a SOS of 0.444 and the Spurs so far SOS 0.514) but both teams have tough and easy stretches. They do both play a back to back the last games of the season with the first being against each other,

It sucks IMO that the Spurs have to play so many more BBs and the Spurs also have to stay healthy. The fact the LAL have 3 games vs. the Spurs lets them also pick up games head to head or try to tie up at least the series going onto other tiebreakers.
I personally believe Spurs will hold onto the top seed in the West but it will not be a cakewalk and I believe it will come down to a margin of 2 games +/- one game.
Hollinger predicts a larger margin (6 games) using his computer margin - has Spurs at 63 and Lakers at 57 but I believe it will be narrower as Spurs will in all likelihood face at least one health issue (hopefully short term) the rest of the year from one of their stars and the LAL are still a strong team and liable to go on a serious run the rest of the year with Bynum back.

Yes. A win tonight puts them halfway to 70 wins. Why can't they? And again if the heat had our record there would be a special "70 wins tracker" on sportscenter every night or a webpage devoted to it as there is one already for the heat
SA's schedule is road heavy from here out. 70 wins also doesn't mean since the "bar" is at 73 now.
If all win percentages (road/home) continue as is, the Spurs project to wind up with 68.78 wins. However, during the season, teams get tired, and drop games they shouldn't. There is also a 4 games in 5 nights embedded within a 5 in 7 nights in the middle of the RRT.
I'm still calling 66 wins.

I'd be surprised if SA wins more than 68. If (when) they get the top seed locked up, Pop's gonna do some major coasting, not chase numbers. Health is paramount.
To answer the OP, 40 wins.
But the best thing about this great first half is that we forced teams to over extend themselves to try and keep up (Mavs, Lakers, Miami in a way) while we have really coasted for the most part.
Win tonight Spurs and open up a 6 game lead in the loss column over LAL before all the and road games and BBs!
Easily 40 wins.
