If you go to the Spurs team page here:
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com...ictions/spurs/
you can see why the Spurs were rated so low. They predicted that Trey Lyles would play 21 minutes a game and Dejounte Murray would only play 16 minutes a game. I don't know where they came up with these numbers but they are all wrong.

Lul 'bout Russia monkeying the US elections. We can't even do OUR elections right, to say at least.
Russia might have spent 20-30 k
Clinton spent a billion
Trump won popular vote minus cal and the illegal votes
I'm a fan of 538, but even I have to admit, this projection is pretty horrible.
Nate Silver has a degree in economics from the University of Chicago, tbh, imo, fwiw.
Kinda how you underrate every player on the team??45 seems reasonable but, dear God, you people overrate the players on this team while underestimating every other team in the conference.
"Derr if we have Murray we are best in da west derr"
Yeah. Okay.
Good catch.
I don't care enough to do the math but if you increase the minutes for White and Murray, the Spurs win projections would go up.
Are you Russian? Putin has turned your country into a complete hole. You should probably hang him or something.
White, who may be the best player on the team, only getting 26 minutes. Lonnie with 0.
Not a degree in sports.
37 wins? Wtf?
Clinton’s and former president turned country into can
Trump is making America great again
Did nate go to same school as aoc ?
Yep, Russia told Clinton not to campaign in Wisconsin, sure ok buddy. Totally their fault that the DNC ran the tiest candidate imaginable that was having debate questions fed to her in advance and coordinating hit pieces on Bernie with the press. She had every media outlet on her side save Fox and talkradio, including the overwhelming support of international media, but a troll farm whose ads mostly were made after the election and didn't even promote Trump got Trump in, yeah ok.
The American public lacks any critical thinking skills. They just blindly believe anything CNN or the CIA says (same difference). And completely ignore all the interference we do in the rest of the world.
Silver had Trump with a 7% of winning the GOP nomination even when he was the clear front-runner for months. He based his entire polling theory on a single book - The Party Decides, and refused to countenance any evidence that the GOP's party machinery was not, in fact, deciding anything.
538 minute breakdown
Remember these are per Spurs games and not per player games; so that's 82ish season minutes for Weatherspoon.]
PG 20 White, 15 Murray, 13 Mills. [No Murray btb and and managed 2019 minutes and this seems plausible.]
SG 21 DeRozan, 19 Forbes, 6 White, 1 Murray, 1 Weatherspoon
SF 21 Carroll, 11 DeRozan, 9 Belinelli, 7 Johnson
PF 24 Gay, 21 Lyles, 2 Samanic, 1 Aldridge [I think Poeltl will get more minutes, giving Aldridge more PF minutes at the expense of Lyles]
C 30 Aldridge, 16 Poeltl, 2 Carroll
And a 20% chance of making the playoffs is a lot better than the 1% for much of 2018.
As to Western opponents, on the too high, D'Angelo Russell, while less than Thompson is pretty good, that and losing Durant drops Warriors to 50 wins. They have Porzingas playing 26 minutes; I'd predict Dejounte (16 minutes) plays more than Kristaps. On the two low, I noticed two injured players that were given 0 minutes, Paul George and Jusuf Nurkic, at "full strength" the Clippers and Trail Blazers greatly improve.
We have stayed the course while a lot of the Western have improved. I think the Mavericks and the Timberwolves are targets, and the chance that Chris Paul won't get 30 minutes adds the Thunder.
If the Spurs stay healthy and Porzingas and Paul don't get their minutes, then there's the 20%.
Be fair here, it was a complete, and worse, hole before Putin took power... They are still in up to their neck, but now their noses are above water. Still, finding a better government would be a step forward.
Theyll be finishing in that 6-8 seed range...again..

Clippers, portland, denver, Jazz, Lakers, Spurs, gsw, Rockets. That is my top 8 in random order. Than comes Kings, mavs, maybe pelicans. No way Spurs are missing Play offs.
This. Right now, no alternatives. In the early 2000s we at least knew the direction the country was moving at. Right now I clearly don't understand, what's happening, and other candidates except Putin, can't even explain, what they are going to do, and doesn't really have any political programms exept "We are against Putin".
