To me it all depends on Duncan, the more games he plays the better the record will be.
This season he played 67games, in which they went 51-16, while without him they went 8-7. This season i expect 60wins, with a championship.
this season Manu will be restead ditto to Tim Duncan plus he will be healthy and Tony Parker will be mature...
How far can the Spurs ended the season ?
>60 winnings
<50 winnings
Back to back Championship
Western Conference Champion...

A healthy Spurs team should be able to go 65-17 or better. But staying healthy all year is unlikely.
I say this before every season (always assuming we have a relatively healthy season), and I'm going to keep saying it until it happens, because I think this team has it in them:
68 wins.
That would be kick ass.
Undefeated at home would be pretty nice as well.
Damn. I thought I was bold. Now I'm just waiting for someone to predict 81-1.
82-0! There I said it! lol
It depends on the bench. If they're as strong as last year, allowing the starters good rest, and there's also no notable injuries anywhere, I'd expect victories into the 60-game mark.
If the bench improves (Barry plays to capabilities, sign an offensive threat a la Robinson), they'll set a team record.
i doubt we get 60 wins every team is gonna be out to get us
I think we can win 85 games this year.
The League will give us an extra three Ws just because we'll be that damn good.![]()
I think we'll go for around 60 wins.
Barring some unmentionable injury to Duncan, isn't this pretty much a shoe-in with Tim?
Well, considering they've only done it twice with Tim, it's hardly a shoe-in.
60 wins is always a huge accomplishment. People predicting more than that lack historical perspective.
Gauranteeing over 60 wins....yes. That's asking for a bit much.
Now around 60 wins? That's not quite as much of a stretch.
I thought I remember reading that the Spurs have averaged 59 wins a season since Duncan has been on board. That's pretty danged close.
I'm not taking anything away from the accomplishment at all. If anything, it's a testament to how good of a player Tim really is, and what he has done for this team in his time.
62-20.
Depending on what the league ends up looking like, undefeated at home may be possible. This Amnesty rule may not shake up the league as much as some suggest. After all, most of these players are overpaid/underachieving, which is why they will be waived. I don't see many "impact" players being waived.
Ultimately, the Spurs are only trying to put the best/most cost effective team on the court. The Spurs do not have any gaping holes to fill that I can see. Yes, it would be a good idea to get some value for Rasho. Even if they don't or are forced to keep him, is that such a bad thing? Who would you rather have that is going to be available, realistically?
The Spurs will be somewhat improved, but I believe that their role as defending champs negates this. When they go to the lottery teams' buildings, that is their "big game" of the season.
64-18.
Call me an optimist.
60-22 with a Championship.
35-6 @ home
25-16 on the road.
63-19 w/ a championship. Bank on it!
I only care about winning the final 4 games in the finals.
