Hollinger makes his predictions based on stats, but in this case, since the Spurs weren't healthy during the data sample, his prediction can't be considered relevant.
That's simple logic, something that Hollinger failed to apply in this case.
When you have three players like Duncan, Parker and Ginobli, you're going to make the playoffs. The question is how far will they go, and we won't know that until we see them against the other contenders in the West.
I also like the logic of some of the other posters here, pointing out how the other playoff teams out west might have problems.
So without any current stats to back it up, I am going to predict that the Spurs will make the playoffs!
