They’ve been slowly declining for two years now. Bowen is 37, Finley is 35, Oberto is 33 and Duncan is 32. Their bench, with the exception of Roger Mason, provides zero life.

And… Ginobili, the most dynamic player on the team, is going to miss 20+ games? Jeez. Say, they go 10-10 in those 20 games. That means they’d have to win 65% of their remaining games in order to reach 50 wins. Impossible.

This team is done. They peaked two years ago and have since turned the corner.

They’ll be lucky to win 45 and make the playoffs. Any injury to Duncan or Parker and the season is lost.

The only reason I predict them to win 46 is because of Popovich. But even then, with teams like the Clippers and Blazers improved, San Antonio has great odds to overcome.

Which teams do you think will have their number?

I think the Lakers and Rockets are bad matchups.

But I think SA is more than capable of defeating everyone else.
