Analysis The final 12 games

[LeBowen]

And just like that, the end is near.
A fairly easy stretch to close the season out.

Pacers, Grizzlies, Bucks, Bulls, Sixers, Blazers and Mavs should be guaranteed wins.
Heat, Warriors and Clippers on the road should be solid challenges.
Nuggets games should be a playoff rehersal.

Spurs should get 60 wins, 8-4 would be enough.
I'll say 10-2 with one road loss and a rest game for everyone.

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

9-3 tbh

 

[SpursFan86]

I’ll go 10-2 as well. If playoff seeding gets locked in then maybe they drop an extra game or two but hard to see them not hitting 60 wins at this point.

As long as we get to the playoffs healthy I’m happy tbh.

 

[scott]

Going with 9-3, with the 3 losses being the 3 games I attend.

 

[Seventyniner]

I have been picking 6-4 every 10 games, glad to be so wrong. Picking 7-5 now to not jinx things.

 

[spurraider21]

i doubted us way too much in the previous 10.

going with 9-3 to close the season out, getting us over 60 wins

 

[BatManu20]

Going with 9-3 as well, but I'd settle for 8-4 with 2 of those games being against Denver.

 

[Robz4000]

8-4/7-5 imo, with losses @MIA, @LAC, @DEN, and at home against Philly (they should have everyone back for this game). Final game against Denver may be a loss as well depending on whether they play everyone for seeding purposes since the Spurs prolly only play everyone the first half.

 

[timtonymanu]

I'll call it a success if they can split the Denver games and win the Warriors game. Would hate to have a losing record against the Dubs this season lol.

I'll go with 8 -4 and losses to @ Miami, @ Clippers, @Nuggets and @ Bucks because we're due for one more shitty loss.

 

[Mugen]

8-4

60 wins is a ridiculous overachievement heading into this season tbh.

 

[spursistan]

I think our guys will go for 60 wins and let the chips fall where they may. As long as we mathematically in the race for Top seed, along with Wemby's 65 game still unfulfilled, this team will keep pushing.

 

[wEmBoY]

10-2. Unless they tank some games at end.

 

[Maddog]

8-4
Standings are getting locked in (Cade's injury is pretty close to giving the Spurs # 2 overall) and there will be some DNP "injuries and some foot off the pedal games

 

[Sugus]

I'm going optimistic with 10-2 -- I don't see this team losing to MIA in their current state, and while Denver is very unpredictable in their current state, I think it's a game the Spurs absolutely have circled on their calendar and will take seriously, especially after losing the last time + Wemby not being there. I'd be more concerned about it if the Spurs had won that one, lol

A bit wary about that MWK game - especially as it's an early one...

 

[Neuromancer]

9-3. Losses at Memphis, LA, and Denver

 

[brazil]

Spurs 9-3 and Victor also 9-3 (I understand that he needs those 9 games to be eligible).

 

[KobesAchilles]

I think we rest Wemby the last 2 games of the season. Same with Castle and Fox

 

[LeBowen]

We'll have a full week before the playoffs start, I don't think we'll rest players in multiple games unless someone's not fully healthy.

 

[KobesAchilles]

We'll have a full week before the playoffs start, I don't think we'll rest players in multiple games unless someone's not fully healthy.

I’m just a paranoid man by nature. I want no part of a stupid sprain ankle (Tim) or fractured arm (Manu) like back in 2011 when we got bounced by the Grizzlies

 

[Dbreiden83080]

10-2

Rest Wemby 1 game..

 

[Exstatic]

We'll have a full week before the playoffs start, I don't think we'll rest players in multiple games unless someone's not fully healthy.

I think it won’t be long until we lock down 2 in the west, and once we either catch OKC or are eliminated,there’s no reason to play anyone.

It’s actually 5 off days. We play on the 12th, and the playoffs start on the 18th.

 

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I feel like with 2nd in the West essentially being assured, I could see Mitch resting guys these last dozen games. I don't think it will change the desire this team to win games, but I could see us going 9-3 or 8-4.

I voted 8-4, but my heart is saying 9-3 down the stretch. I can see these guys wanted to hit the 60 win mark.

 

[Mugen]

I could see Vic sitting the last b2b @ the Clippers but doubt he rests any more than that. I thnk he's gonna want to play against Jokic both games.

Kornet should definitely get a week or so off though if we can spare it. Maybe a game or two for guys like Fox and Vassell as well if we're locked into the 2 seed.

He’s already low key resting like one guy per game. If we win 5 more games we clinch no worse than a tie with the LAL, and we own the tie breaker. That will lock down 2nd in the WC. I think as soon as Vic hits 65, they’ll shut him down for treatment, and work on getting him 100% for the playoffs.

9-3 is my pick.

 

[Biggems]

I picked 11-1.....losing game 82 to the Nuggets in a game where the entire starting 5 has the day off
