if the big 3 stay healthy its a no brainer
West got weaker, no doubt about it.
Yeah Duncan is getting older, but he doesn't rely on athleticism. Parker is on the young side of his prime years. Manu is still Manu. Add the fact that Pop has been working with RJ... Blair, Hill and Temple are all working on their game in the off-season... and we add Splitter and Anderson to hopefully replace the minutes of Bonner and Mason..... I think we hit 55 easily
IF everybody stays healthy we could get to 60. More likely 50-55. Hopefully we will play better at the start of the season compared to last year.
Yes should be about 55 me thinks. We got rid of Mason Jr and Bogans and added Splitter and Anderson (hopefully). I see last season as an exception. We let pure scrubs get heavy minutes. I couldn't believe it. No more of that and 50+ is guaranteed.
I say put SA down for the 51-55 wins bracket.
It will be done.
If we can win 50 games with Mason and Bogans on the roster, why can't we without?
I think they finish 4-5 games behind the Lakers ...
Lakers win about 56-57
Spurs about 50-52 games ...
I think #2 in the west is very possible ...
1. Lakers
2. Spurs, Mavs or Nuggs
3. ...
4. ...
5. OKC
6. Portland
7. Utah
8. Battle between: Rox, Suns, Hornets Memphis and Clips
No more Amare on the pick-and-roll either. That should at least be good for a win!
Lots of factors. The background talent is potentially way better. But Tim and Manu could really show their age this year if asked to do much in the regular season. Coaching sanity would really help.
One of the biggest factors could be Pop putting down the bong and stop playing bad players and fully re ed lineups.
