February Predictions

[CorrectCrusader]

Seeing as the Spurs as of 1/26/2025 are 3 games under .500 and currently are projected the #10 pick in the draft. I find it likely that after the rodeo road trip we will be closer to the 6th pick than the 14th.

Hopefully at the end of this month we will have a clear vision of what we need to do to move forward for this team. I don't suspect we make big moves, if any, at the trade deadline.

I think we'll pull out a surprise win during the next 3 game homestand before leaving San Antonio until March 2. The NBA didn't do us any favors with the schedule this year. The Rodeo doesn't start until 2/6 and ends 2/23, but we got scheduled 5 extra road games that could have been home games during the Feb 2 - Mar 1 stretch we'll be away from SA.

So I predict we'll be 4 games under .500 after the Miami game on 2/1.

Games @MEM and @ATL before the trade deadline. I think we'll drop them both and be 6 games under .500 at the deadline.

Then the road trip includes a few winnable games. @CHA, @WAS, @NOP, @NOP... but also some games against top teams. I think we'll be 8 or 10 games under .500 before the Mar 2 home game against OKC.

To be honest, I'm willing to go on the record and say we ultimately finish with 30-34 wins, once again hitting the UNDER on the Vegas preseason win total (35.5).

For all the talk in the first half of the season for exceeding expectations, we'll once again fall short of expectations (with the Vegas odds a proxy for those expectations).

I hope I'm wrong and this eventually gets quoted and mocked, but this is my gut on Jan 25.

I suspect you are right. I had them at 32 win. The Rodeo Road trip will put this team out of their misery. The only caveat being, Wemby catches fire for a stretch and drags the team into Play-in, along with CP3.

Anyway, in true Spurs fashion they probably win a few games at the end of the year to screw over their draft position and lead people to believe they finally figured it out.
