You're obviously not a long time fan or you'd recognize that if you put most rosters on a balance scale against the Spurs, the Spurs side would go up, being shorter on talent. We rarely compete on talent top to bottom. What gives the Spurs the edge IS THAT SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM is what allows them to keep only 4 players for a period of 8 years and win three titles by plugging in value players around them. We don't have a billionaire owner, and we're not a large market. SA actually competes with two systems: the basketball system, and the front office system. The basketball system is based on teamwork, defense, and a motion offense. The front office system is based on picking up smart players with character who can shoot the 3 pointer and defend for reasonable prices. The Spurs rarely give full MLE deals anymore. They sign fractional MLE deals for 2-3 years. Because of that, it's been ages since they were stuck with a bad contract.

Fuck the system that won 4 rings.

Got it.


Kill yourself.

[whottt]

You guys mind keeping the vulgarity and smack out of spursdotcom threads?


Try to have some class and conduct yourselves more appropriately.


Thx, in advance.

[whottt]

Well each year is different, when Timmy, Manu and Tony were all young and Bruce (Bowen) was younger and all that we just looked for pieces every year.


Pretty much says it all when he puts Bruce in there as a non-piece.


Retire his jersey Pop.

[itzsoweezee]

Fuck the system that won 4 rings.

Got it.


Kill yourself.


fuck the system that got knocked out of the playoffs in the first round in a humiliating series to a horrible dallas mavericks team.

fuck the system that started michael finley and matt bonner.

fuck the system that benched george hill.

fuck the system that moved roger mason to point guard.

fuck the system.

fuck popobitch

and fuck the know-nothing homers like you who have nothing better to say than "the system won 4 rings"

players win championships.

popobitch should throw his worthless system in the trash and play the best players

fucking egomaniac

[HarlemHeat37]

huh?..

the "system" doesn't have anything to do with the minutes of Finley, Bonner, and Hill..those were coaching decisions..

the system is still the best in the NBA, at worst top 3..the system got us the 5th ranked defense in the NBA, despite starting 4 out of 5 average or below average defenders next to Duncan..it got us HCA..it's impossible to win when your best player is playing on 1 knee, and the other part of the big 3 isn't even playing..

the system will remain the same, except there will be tweaks to add a big 4..the options will be different this season, because we've heavily upgraded in talent..

[VivaPopovich]

he forgot to mention NEVER EVER playing bonner or finley at the 4 spot again

their still decent additions at the 11 and 12 spot playing the 3 position
