Louis (Texas)

Is the Spurs 35-6 best record more fragile than it looks? Not taking away from their great play but they faced so many key opponents without top players dallas, denver, celtics, la (w/o healthy bynum) etc, they eaked out 3 OT wins and got a few favorable calls at the end of games (Manu travel vs Milwaukee). Are they really dominant or will things even out?

Chad Ford, ESPN (1:32 PM)

I think they're pretty dominant. They've played the 9th toughest schedule to date and sit atop Hollinger's power rankings which isn't based more on objective criteria. Subjectively, they have a great group of vets who have done this before, one of the three best coaches in the league, an amazing front office and some surprising depth. While they're not a lock to go all the way, they are for real.

"sit atop Hollinger's power rankings which isn't based more on objective criteria."

? very nice comments by Chad but he got a little mixed up on that one - Hollinger's system is all metrics and supposedly objective.

Meanwhile Louis needs to chill - how many games has Boston also eaked out?

Isn't Louis that obsessive Rockets fan who had been bashing the Spurs since the mid-90s?

yes, his most recent username is Crickets.

[CubanMustGo]

yes, his most recent username is Crickets.

He self-banned himself (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=170082) after the last win against the T-pups. The question is what ID is he posting under now?

Oh as soon as it starts posting threads it will be obvious.

I think Chad meant to say "which is based more on objective criteria" but just mistyped it.

[tdunk21]

Get that, Chad Ford is one of the more realistic, less irrational types at ESPN IMO.
