With 43 wins already on the board and 8 games still to go, the Spurs are poised to blow by practically every preseason win total prediction made. 1 more victory, in fact, will push them past the Westgate’s preseason over/under of 43.5 — a number that came out before Dejounte Murray’s season-ending injury, mind you — which was perhaps the easiest over bet of all time.
Instead of missing the playoffs entirely, or at best, fighting to sneak in as the 8th seed, the Spurs have a 6.5 game advantage on the 9th placed Kings and a real chance at finishing as high as 5th.
