Chris Broussard "Spurs won't make The Playoffs"

[offset formation]

Warriors, Rockets, Nuggets, Blazers, Jazz, Lakers, Thunder, Clippers, Spurs. There you have 9 teams that very likely will be over 46 wins. Then you have teams like the Kings, Mavs, Wolves and maybe even Pels that could get on the fight.

Spurs missing the playoffs wouldn't be anything too crazy, tbh.

Lakers, Thunder, and Clippers are all questionable. Whichever LA team that doesn't get Kawhi is not making the playoffs.

Thunder are likely worse this year than last.

[FkLA]

If you're saying (lol Jamal Murray) then someone might say (double lol Derrick White, your guy) for being severely outplayed in the series. Jaml Murray has a bigger ceiling than White, if he can reach it is beside point. He can shoot of the dribble, more athletic, can actually shoot the three unlike White, he's creative attacking the basket. Murray has the potential to become a No2, White on the other hand is more like a No3.

Jamal Murray is trash and now owns the worst contract in the NBA. He's an inefficient chucker with Mills-level defense. Is he a better pure scorer than White? Probably but White is and always will be the better player. Just lol at him having the "potential" to be a #2. For a weak ass pretender team maybe.

It's like saying you'd take a pure scorer like Kevin Martin over a younger Nephew (the 12-16 PPG guy not the offensive monster he is now).

[FkLA]

Also, Jamal Murray is not more athletic. Not even ing close.

[itzsoweezee]

Reasonable take considering that the Mavs, Lakers, and pelicans have all gotten better, as did most of the other Western conference playoff teams. If kawhi goes to the clippers, the Spurs' postseason chances probably drop below 50%.

[LittleCriminal]

Spurs will get the 2nd seed..
Book it!!

[ElNono]

I hope so! So we can get a solid pick for a change... stop spinning wheels, tbh

[itzsoweezee]

Pretty much this. Perpetual NBA purgatory team until the deadweights are gone.

Yup, a wasted season

[Uriel]

I can't wait to see the look on their faces when the Spurs win 50+ games and get home court in the first round

[cjw]

People have been saying this since at least 2011

The longest active streak besides the Spurs is 2013

Let that sink in for a second. People have been doubting the Spurs making the playoffs for longer than any other team’s playoff streak

[EricB]

Warriors, Rockets, Nuggets, Blazers, Jazz, Lakers, Thunder, Clippers, Spurs. There you have 9 teams that very likely will be over 46 wins. Then you have teams like the Kings, Mavs, Wolves and maybe even Pels that could get on the fight.

This fan base is amazing I tell ya.

[JeffDuncan]

Yeah, it's looking terrible. The Spurs may be the only team in the NBA with a losing record this year. That'll put us at, let's see, 42 times 29, omg we're going to lose 1,218 games this season!

[99 Problems]

Media just move on from the GSW will win it all to the next circus without missing a beat.. lol.

[DAF86]

This fan base is amazing I tell ya.

Why, because we aren't ing blind homers?

Dude, you do realize that we were the 7th seed last season not a top 3 team, right? I'm not saying the Spurs won't make the playoffs, just that it wouldn't be anything crazy if they didn't. They are far from being a sure thing. They will be in the fight with teams like the Thunder, Clippers (if they don't get Kawhi), Kings and some other teams.

[Chucho]

Seriously. The Spurs give up about 5 to 10 games easily, every season. The Spurs should have won 50-53 games last year, but Pop does Pop things. This year's team is already better on paper so long DeJuante comes back at even 75% of his 2018 form, we'll win at least 3 to 5 more games than past season realistically.

[TDMVPDPOY]

seems like media narative is to stomp on the spurs while they are still down...

[Marcus Bryant]

The San Antonio Spurs have missed the playoffs in 4 out of 46 seasons.

[callo1]

Honestly, at this point, I see Portland missing out, based on their roster as it stands now. I think the window while not shut, has closed a bit on Houston, again, that is as far as right now.

I see Utah moving into a playoff spot.

As far as the Spurs go, I see no way that they don't make the playoffs per the norm.

[cjw]

Yeah, it's looking terrible. The Spurs may be the only team in the NBA with a losing record this year. That'll put us at, let's see, 42 times 29, omg we're going to lose 1,218 games this season!

If every single other team went 42-40, that’d put you at 12-70.

But could go 40-42 if all other teams except one were 41-41 (top at 42-40).

[spurs1990]

The Streak is going to come to an end someday. Might as well throw this out every year and eventually they'll get it right.

They were a 7th seed due to a load of injuries and a completely new roster.


but yeah they’re so why bother watching.

[tbdog]

There will be injury bugs. Those teams fight to get into the playoffs. Hopefully it's our turn to stay healthy.

East could be a show again of Leonard leaves. A three horse race. But look at these teams: Bulls, Knicks, Hornets, Cavs, Hawks. My god.

[venitian navigator]

A lot of west teams have improved their roster...and some have big big problems...but the latter's are teams so talented in their main men (GS, Houston) that is difficult to see them not making the play offs...

[dg7md]

I hope so. Maybe we'll get a good lottery pick out of it. No sense in acting like we have a shot to ring with this roster.

The west will be a dogfight. I think the conference is getting pretty even in terms of talent. There will be some very good teams missing the playoffs this year.
