Is this the season the Spurs finally get over the hump and hit 70 win ecstasy?
Definitely. I think they could win 75. Better pick it up though, they're playing like . Only on pace to win 66.
Well, they're currently winning 81% of their games. If multiplied by 82 games, that equals 66 wins. And they probably won't maintain 81%. But, to be honest, the upcoming schedule is not very challenging...so that percentage will continue to rise for a while. It would need to rise above 85% to hit a 70-win pace, which would happen with a record of 24-4.
At Utah, at Portland, vs Boston, at OKC, at Denver... yeah upcoming schedule is just freakin dandy
It's certainly not intimidating.
Sure, now that Pop can't drop games without getting fined... I guess we will go undefeated until the playoffs
70 wins dont mean , bulls record is bull also...diluted league with 2 expansion teams
today its diluted also with the super teams, and the remaining 20-24 teams making up the numbers
Won't happen, once the Spurs reach a comfortable lead Pop will just rest all the starters and can the rest of the season.
Bulls were a great team that year but I agree with what you said. Super teams only! That will water down the rest of the league, so many easy wins out there.
Intimidating is one thing, but saying "it's not very challenging" is also a stretch. I mean OKC is as tough a matchup as there is, especially with Kawhi and Jax out. And having to play IN denver on a second of back to backs is tough. I'm not going to say something nuts like Utah is a great team, but they're 8-1 and home compared to 3-9 on the road. I'm not calling any of these games "sure losses" but there are definitely some challenges here. And yeah, Portland has given us problems in recent years and we'll be playin them in their backyard.
Im guessing nobody besides Miami cons utes a tough matchup in your eyes
Who cares - 50, 60 70...
I want 16 wins in PO, rest ist not important
This.
But to extend our streak of 50 win seasons would be cool, although that's essentially a certainty already
I hope not that would make a playoff exit even worse.
Rest is not important?
No, it is not; given that baring injuries Spurs have 50+ wins and PO spot.
Regular season wins is not a goal for the Spurs. Winning in the playoffs is. 70 wins is not anything anyone on the Spurs spends a second thinking about.
A little premature, no?
Premature would be if we were actually ON PACE. Misguided would be more like it. Spurs are 4 games off pace, and would have to sharply increase their win percentage to have a shot, and then Pop would have to NOT SHUT DOWN when playoff seedings are decided. Neither of those things have much of a chance of happening.
Besides, what good is it to win 70 games? That isn't the record, 73 games would be.
70 wins doesn't matter. The most important thing is continuing to improve the offense and defense from game to game. That way when the team gets challenged in the playoffs they don't lose their iden y and continue to play the same way.
If we were on pace to win 70 I don't think Pop would just rest the starters; he would start forfeiting all games in road trips.
They won't win 70 for sure. But it doesn't matter. . .they should probably get 60 again, possibly even crack 60 by a bit unless even more injuries pile up. In the end, the Spurs should be around the 1-3 seed regardless. Most likely 1-2 seed. Looking good so far for the postseason. They appear to have "woken up" now.
Best news: They have a nice record despite multiple injuries. So the team can get even better!
NEed the 1 seed to let memphis and okc beat up on each other, anything else is meaningless imotbqhtbqh
Pop can rest everyone he wants but the Miami game proved even the 2nd/3rd string is capable of competing with any team.
In light of that and the race with Thunders/Vancouver for homecourt, I think we'll see the Spurs topping their 63 victory plateau from 2006.
