44-38
Guys we know will miss significant time. White, Walker
Guys who miss 10 to 15 games : Rudy, Gasol, Bertans
Never was in the Trade everyone and Tank camp but damn with all the injuries and season hasn’t started this looks like a good year to get us a top 10 prospect.
44-38
45-37
39-41 sounds about right
You're missing 2 games
So the what? They will still win a boatload of games.
Answering OPs question, meant 39-41 wins. Anything more would probably put it as one of Pop's best coached seasons tbh.
You think so? With Mills and Forbes guarding Curry, CP3, Westbrook, Lillard, Holiday, Conley all game in this conference? The entire defense other than Aldridge that dragged this team to 47 wins last season is gone. If Pop can get this team into the playoffs without a major trade it'll be a miracle.
timvp man I see you browsing the thread. How many wins do you see this team getting barring a major trade? Please tell me I'm way off base guessing this is a 38 win Spurs team.
It's honestly impossible to overstate how bad the Spurs defense is on paper tbh. They were gonna be bad when Murray/White were still healthy...now that the perimeter D consists of Forbes, Fatty, Derozan, Beli, Gay......lmao holy .....
about a .500 ballclub playing in the West.
That 42.5 O/U for total wins...seemed like such easy ass money coming into the preseason...man how does Vegas ALWAYS know
I was thinking 50-52 before the injuries. I'm guessing 46 now...and that will be an over-achieving 46 wins should they make it there. Pop should get COY should that happen in this western conference.
42-41 tbh.
Didn’t know cliff jumpers relied so much on unproven players in Walker and White....
Everyone seems they all tore their ACL’s...
It’s crazy man how people knee jerk and don’t want things to play out before they off themselves...
50 wins
Relying on unproven players like Forbes and White instead of having a second team All-NBA defender in the backcourt is the reason I'm expecting a huge falloff.
How many games? That depends. Was LMA's heart problem a couple of years ago legit, or was it his version of Kawhi's fake "tendinopathy" because he wanted out?
Clearly, if LMA misses significant time, we're looking at 20-30 wins best-case scenario.
I still think we could win 50. Even with losing Murray, having DeRozan is a huge shot in the arm to the offense, and that's going to carry us on some nights.
Right now I'd bank on 49 wins. Remember guys, there are a lot of HORRIBLE teams in the West that should give us a healthy number of wins.
I think that we can still win 49-53 wins This year, even with these injuries.
As long as demar&aldridge are upright probably 7-8th seed
Pop himself is going to cost the Spurs about five games when he rests LMA and DDR... so 40 seems about right.
52-30
51 and 31
I'm way too optimistic and frankly just not trained on seeing win totals below 50 so I'm still predicting that:
1) LA is still an all star caliber player
2) DeRozan, though I never liked him even a bit in Toronto, has offensive game.. maybe even a lot
3) Gay could be ready to show out on his likely last contact year
4) system. System. System. No other team implements what SA does. I firmly believe that equates to lots of wins. I mean they won 47 last year with LA and nobody plus lots of drama all year
52-30. 4th/5th seed. 2nd round exit to the same team as last two years.
Yeah but we lost Green, and Manu and Murray is out for the year. Add that our second PG is also out and our first round is just going under the knife. We added DeRozan who I really like and JP a big and we all know bigs take a full year to finally fit in.
I think will play with a lot of heart but more guys are going to get hurt and dinged up so not expecting much hopefully Metu and Bertans can grow and make the next leap.
