The Spurs go 22-5 the rest of the way and finish with the best record in the NBA (64-18)

What's your prediction?

**waly.mg** · 02-28-2005

What´s ???????¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

66-18??????????????

84 Games

I predicted a few days ago, 64-18
Suns 61-21

**timvp** · 02-28-2005

Yeah, hard to disagree with 66-18. Since Malik got traded, the NBA will allow the Spurs to play a couple more games to wipe away their tears.

63-19 Franchise record.

18-5 so far. Again, I amaze myself with my prognostication skills.

**exstatic** · 02-28-2005

0-27. No way we win any more games without Malik.

**johnny00** · 02-28-2005

60 - 22

Damn, ex, did you tell Pop about this?

**waly.mg** · 02-28-2005

If our team needs Malik to motivated them, so i´m going to trade Malik for The Coyote

**Rummpd** · 02-28-2005

27 games. 21 wins +/- 1 either way.

Most likely, 63 and 19.

Yep, it was a mistake... I meant 64-18... I'll fix it.

... 19's W's from teams Spurs "should" beat.

=========================

Wed 9 @ Phoenix
Sun 20 @ Detroit
Sun 27 Houston
Wed 30 Seattle

Thu 7 @ Dallas
Wed 13 @ Utah
Sat 16 Memphis
Mon 18 @ Memphis

.... 8 games where the oppoent is "serious", Spurs go 4-4.

A couple W/L will migrate between the above 2 groupings.

Spurs play out the schedule with 23 - 4, giving a season of:

65 - 17.

**Rick Von Braun** · 03-01-2005

Only a couple of guys have predicted...

most people assume a final record between 63-19 and 65-17

That means only 4 to 6 more losses. Do all people in this board agree with that?

I think this is waaay too optimistic, based on the performance of the Spurs in the last 3 or 4 games (I am optimistic by nature, so don't count my prediction).

**Kori Ellis** · 03-01-2005

I think they'll win 61. But I'm probably more pessimistic. In the beginning of the season, I think I said they'll win 57.

**Jimcs50** · 03-01-2005

I am 1-0 so far.

**whottt** · 03-01-2005

22-4 to finish. I basically agree with your breakdown RVB...

But no way does Pop let the Spurs head into the playoffs on a 2 game losing streak. No way.

On top of that...you look at those last two games...Well Memphis owns us again this year...I don't see him willingly tanking that game. He is going to want to send a message to them.

And the last game? Minnesota may need that game to make the playoffs...possibly making them our first round opponents...

I think Pop would just as soon NOT have to face Garnett and the Wolves...even when they sucked they have still played us hard in the playoffs...Plus, I am pretty sure Pop remember how deadly Cassell can be in a playoff series...not to mention Spree...

I just don't see him giving the TPups a free pass into the playoffs if he has the choice...he's going to want to put those mad dogs down.

We might lose one of those games or the other...but no way do we lose them both if Pop has any say in it. There's just too many reasons to want to win both or at least 1 of those games.

I think, if Pop has HCA wrapped up, he will rest TD like he did 2 yrs ago against Dallas when Dallas killed SA at the SBC, a game where I wasted my money going to see.

So, in that case, we could drop thoses games.

On another note, I think Minn will already have the 8 seed wrapped up at that time. they are starting to play better now.

**Rummpd** · 03-01-2005

I said 63 at the very beginning of the year (how many of you of little faith, were even close to that??) after nailing it at 57 last year and one off of 59 the year before (check the records if you have them back that far!!)?

I would now bet 100 bookie points I am within one game either way on this one. TimVP lets set this up as a bet!

Less than or 58-60____
60-61_____
62-64_X_
65-69 _______
70 and above (hint impossible)

Spurs won 57 games last year.

Maybe so but he's not going to willingly tank 2 in a row.

Tell me the last time he did that?

Pop gets worried about momentum if the Spurs have too many days off...how you think he's going to react to going into the playoffs on a two game losing streak?

Not tank on purpose, but leave TD and Manu out maybe, if they are a little dinged up still.

**td4mvp21** · 03-01-2005

i hope we go into the playoffs on like a 1-3 game winning streak rather than a big one. look what happened last year. we lost and our momentum was gone for good.

**T Park** · 03-01-2005

21 3.

Wins against Phoenix Detroit and Indiana.

3 losses come against Memphis, Golden STate, Clippers.

Spurs may get best record. I hope so, they might need it.

**LilMissSPURfect** · 03-01-2005

its 4.3 games for every loss (56 games)
.......with 26 games remaining & me beieeing optimistic...Spurs finish 65 -17!!!!

65-17
