Your predictions for Duncan, Manu, Parker, Splitter, Kawhi, Green, etc. in 13-14?

I expect the same from most guys, but I think Tiago and Kawhi will Improve a lot. I actually see both posting similar numbers to each other. If this thread goes over okay, I'll post my predictions later.

Timmy I think might drop off slightly from last year. It's not that I think he is going to play bad or that he is a year older, but that he had such a good year last year that he might not play that well again.

Manu is all about if he is healthy. We know what we will get if he feels good, we know what we will get if he is injured. I only hope it's one way or the other with him. If he is healthy i have total confidence in him, good or bad. If he is hurt I actually hope he is hurt to the point where he cant play. After last year, I would rather have no Manu at all than Manu trying to play hurt.

Parker concerns me because of playing this summer for France. I sure he knows his body better than anyone but man, he's played alot of basketball this year. I hope he doesn't run himself down.

Splitter is what he is and I don't expect him to get much better unless the light in his head clicks on to play aggressive all the time instead of passive most of the time.

Green I expect to have better numbers this year but unless he has worked on driving to the bucket this off season they shouldn't go up much.

Leonard's numbers should be slightly higher than last year but not by much because the team is almost the same. I only expect them to go up because Pop has said they will call a few more plays for him.

Alot of changes could take place if there is an injury this season. If (heaven forbid) Parker is hurt for a long stretch I would expect Leonard and Green's numbers to be inflated accordingly.

As usual the wildcard for the Spurs is Manu. Healthy the Spurs could walk back to the Finals.

I'm expecting a bit of a drop off from Manu and I can see Parker struggling a bit to start the season (playing all summer with France/ his hamstring injury). But i'm expecting Kawhi to make a big jump forward this season and whatever extra he brings to the table will make up for whatever production we lose from Manu and possibly Parker.

As for Duncan I don't really see the decline coming yet. I don't think this was a just one year renaissance for him, he worked too hard last offseason and came to close to another ring to just let off the gas pedal this offseason. He'll be solid once again.
