Spurs look horrible. I can see why you changed. Still no Keldon or White. That gives me a little hope.
I have to adjust my prediction after watching these preseason games:
Mavs
Houston
Memphis
NOLA
Spurs

Yeah I think White Big Toe injury is going to make him miss a lot of games which is good for us short term netting us a top 6 pick....Go Spurs.
I'm cautiously optimistic popovich will stick with his turd trio of vets and San Antonio ends up with a top 5 pick (I'm not watching those bums play, though). Bottom of the conference, here we come
This is the correct answer.
I get the sense that Pop doesn't really coach/direct/instruct teach. And guys like Lonnie and Dejounte lack ability.
If Keldon and Derrick haven't leveled up either...it's going to be a long season.
The way Ja jumps around, he's always going to be prone to injury. He reminds me of a past star who jumped around a lot and ended up getting injured frequently... Can't put my finger on it right now
It looks like a lot are sleeping on NO. They look pretty legit in retrospect, and Ingram could emerge as a new star
I think out of the West will probably be around 11th or 12th place.
I got it right! I assumed Spurs would be about .500 tho.
A lot of people got it wrong.... ja, ja.
In retrospect the view for the Spurs was very rosy based on the bubble games. Everyone thought the team would level up without Belli and Forbes.
It puts in retrospect that the season is a long grind and one can't place too much weight on a small sample of games (though it's evident Belli and Forbes back would not improve this team. They needed to move on from them when they did, they just didn't replace the shooting they provided, save featuring the injured White more and starting him.) Maybe the predictions would have been more on point with a full season of a healthy and productive Derrick.
Also, some fans gave too much weight to Memphis' poor performance in the bubble. They lost Jaren Jackson at the very beginning IIRC who was fantastic in the bubble games he played. It was also year one of their rebuild and they had other priorities than win now, shown by their FO trading some productive veterans midseason for draft capital or prospects, like Jae Crowder, which changed their rotations, etc.
Still good prediction. For me, I was disappointed with Zion's performance in the bubble, he was clearly out of shape and gassed. He's looked much better for the season, I'd say it's time NO tried to improve their roster.
