Ceiling is 70 . Realistically we will get 65 or so. Warriors will lock up the west by the last few weeks of regular season and we will likely have 2nd seed locked up
We're 37–6 right now, equaling our best start with the 2011 season thru 45 games (we lost game 46 in 2011, falling to 37–7 that year). Given we have a road-heavy and tougher schedule in front of us (all 4 left against GSW, the @Cleveland game, 3 left against OKC and LAC) we're not going to sniff 70 wins. But do we have a chance to break our all-time record of 63 wins in the ill-fated 2006 season? I think we can maybe get 64, but it's not going to be easy. The main thing is we need to stay in the hunt with the Dubs and see how the chips fall. Also, maintaining HCA over the Thunder and Cavs should be a top priority.
I'm going to go with 62–20

But will we have the 2nd overall seed locked up? We've seen how not having HCA in the Finals has turned out for us sadly.
68
38. 38 game losing streak coming up on Monday.
70.
I might be an hopeful but I would predict anywhere between 65-70.
They'll get 70
72
I said before the season they would break the franchise mark by a game and I still think its a good prediction. Maybe one more. 65-17 is pretty realistic
65-69.
64-65..
I think we will slightly taper off because OF schedule/Pop resting guys ....Barring injuries 60 win is a lock (we'll have to go 23-16 rest of the way)..
This team is deep and have the top-heaviest talent since 2007 and it has already won quite few "scheduled losses"..7-0 on B2B, because we blew out opponent on first night, thus allowing even Big 3 to play the night after..

63:19 because of Pop resting the boys. But if GS blows some games over the next few weeks and we sniff the top seed, it could very well be about 69:13.
So far it's been good in that the Spurs are able to keep the record and rest.
IF this tendency holds I'd say 67-70.
I don't buy the rest excuse. Pop is scheduling rest on games we can clearly win and we have the best/deepest bench in the league even when Manu only plays 5 mins (against Phoenix last night, by the way, he was nothing special, missed his 2 shots, and we cruised with the youngling that is Slow Mo, the Bobinator, and the Juice in the 4th Q). Our bench is going to swing many "scheduled" rests in our favor, provided Kawhi/LMA are healthy and playing of course. We will also be able to withstand a few non critical bumps and bruises to guys.
I will say 65 wins or higher TBH (unless something catastrophic, that cannot be predicted)
Depends on how GS plays honestly, if hey lose a few games, Pop will push for 1st seed, so we could see 65-70 wins. But if they catch fire again, Pop will focus on health over record and we'll end up around 61-65. Pretty damn good really.
I do not know about the record, but we will not catch the Warriors.
Now, I'm basing this on your game-thread commentary, I'm also going with 37. You've convinced me they're done. Blow it up. Who's the number one pick in the draft this year?
We might not catch the Warriors but we should have an eye on HC vs Cleveland. Spurs already 5 games up in the loss column..
It's a long season... everything is possible. As to the ceiling, I'd say 65.
Literally, it's 76.
This guy understand English
Barring major injury, I say 70-72. It's like a race, draft the leader all the way to the final stretch, then make your move, and then pass them at the wire.
can the season start already?
I'm guessing both the Spurs and Warriors are going to end up around 66-68 wins.
I think low end 63, upper limit 68. They win tonight, go between 5-6 and 7-4 against GS, OKC, LAC, and Cavs. Go between 20-7 and 23-4 against the rest. I don't think there will be a big drop off (except for a major injury, of course) since Pop has been resting guys pretty steadily already and there has not been much of a drop off with the remainder of the group. When you talk drop off for an elite team it doesn't mean all of a sudden they are giving up 105 points to the Lakers.
