Parker Fleming: OVER. Just because I’ll regret saying “under” when they have 56 wins in March.

Ian Pierno: I concur with Parker. OVER.

Ryan Snellings: UNDER. I think they get right at 56, but I’m playing Price is Right rules. Tim Duncan retiring won’t be that big of an impact. Kawhi Leonard is arguably a top-5 player and is only getting better. Pau Gasol is obviously an improvement, but I think their lack of a true rim protector will hurt them. Parker and Ginobili are aging, too. Pop will be conservative with his team knowing that Golden State is where their sight should be set.

Taylor Buckley: OVER. C’mon, it’s the Spurs, every year people doubt them and every year they prove us wrong. Popovich finds a way to make this squad a top 3 team in the West.

Ryan Schmitz: OVER. As long as Popovich is coaching the Spurs, I will take over for San Antonio. He could coach a high school team into the playoffs.

Jacob Collins: UNDER. Slight under. The guards don’t have the wheels to chase some of these younger guys around and it will come back to bite them.
