The succinct Truth - Spurs will win it all

[Rummpd]

Ethan ((Providence))


Sup John, who do you actually have winning the title? Why?

John Hollinger (12:25 PM)


Spurs. Because they're better than everybody else.

[Sense]

Because this is the first time we hear Hollinger say this.

[Rummpd]

Honestly if anyone has watched closely the Spurs shread the Thunder, Lakers, Grizz this year who could pick anyone else except plausibly the Heat???

[Rummpd]

Joe (NY)


You are basing picking the Spurs on them beating a horrible Utah team in the 1st round?? Whether they draw LAC or Mem in round 2 and then OKC or LAL in round 3 it is gonna be alot tougher

John Hollinger (12:33 PM)


I'm picking them based on their going 28-3 in their past 31 games, and winning the season series against every remaining team in the West, with at least one humiliating win against every one of them, and going. Or how about this: They're 22-3 in their past 25 road games. Two of the losses came when they sat their starters. Nobody's beating them.

Miami would have the 3 best players in a series against the Spurs. Tough to overcome that even considering Heats lack of depth
John Hollinger (12:43 PM)

Two best, yes. But I'd argue 3, 4 and 5 play for San Antonio, as do 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. Chalmers could probably be the Spurs' 10th man if he applied himself; he's the fourth-best payer on Miami. That's why I'd take San Antonio.

[cheguevara]

Trollinger with the goods

[HarlemHo 37]

Congratulations Ant (SA), you beat the buzzer.

[Rummpd]

A salient case can be made that Parker is outplaying Wade the last 1/3 of the season and historically when healthy Manu has had a PER near or higher than Wade some seasons. A fully functioning and hot Manu is a good retort for Wade any day and Parker will be effective. James will be called upon to cover Parker and if other Spurs stay hot, in particular Duncan inside, Spurs could roll Miami.

[Splits]

Chalmers could probably be the Spurs' 10th man if he applied himself; he's the fourth-best payer on Miami.

I bet nobody outside of San Antonio likes hearing this, but it is so damn true. Go up and down the roster of every team remaining, find their 4th best guy, and tell me if he could crack the Spurs rotation.

[Rummpd]

Screw the non-believers, Spurs stay healthy and Pop does not revert to Blair ball, nobody beating the Spurs.

McGee isn't the fourth best player on the Nuggets and no he wouldn't.

You're right, forgot about Chandler and Faried as well. But c'mon son, he just dropped like 21/14 on Bynum the other night. You really think someone with his size and athleticism/talent wouldn't make the Spurs frontline rotation? :lol Dumb players like him need a coach like Pop, I think he would thrive here

Chalmers, Teague and whoever you want to consider as Philly's 4th best player would be the only ones who wouldn't crack the Spurs rotation TBH.

Serge Ibaka not only cracks the Spurs rotation, he starts.

I still think the other night was a fluke tbh. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every once in a while. Blair's had some monster games in the past too and I'm not sure who I'd rather have as my last option big off the bench. I'm not sure Pop can handle two Blairs on the same team:lol

And let's not forget that even with our shittier roster at the time, the Spurs were still winning handily for the first half of the game.

Most playoff teams' 4th-best players would make the Spurs rotation, as evidenced by the list. How about 6th-best, though?

Thunder: Sefolosha, maybe
Lakers: Barnes, doubt it
Grizzlies: Allen, probably cause of his D
Clippers: Butler, hell naw
Nuggets: Birdman? maaaaaybe
Bulls: Asik, probably cause of his D
Heat: Mike Miller, doubtful

True but then again Blair wouldn't be such a shitty player if he was McGee's size. With Javale, it's obvious he has talent and crazy athleticism he's just an idiot. He needs order and a disciplined system, something Popovich can give him

Sefolosha would be the best wing defender on the team, of course he'd make the rotation.

With RJ on the floor against your team, we were lucky to get that. It's a pretty damn impressive accomplishment. And now that we're able to close out games (did Miami sweep, or was that the Spurs?), I imagine you're feeling a little bit concerned. :lol

Don't worry, it's natural.

[TheCerebral1]

That's laughable. The total concept of not having a chance against a team with a meat head like Bosh doesn't really worry me. Let's worry abou the Eastern Conference if and only if we raise the silver ball before the gold.

No Manu and No Wade that Game. Lebron had free reigns to shoot as many shots as he wanted. And they dropped. They don't usually drop. Not to mention Mike Millker went 6-6 from 3. Good luck banking on that happening again!! :lol

We'll see if they meet up. Miami made a big addition with Ronny Turiaf. Dude's been beasting lately waving that towel on the bench, and jumping around on high flying dunks.

We've added some pieces that have contributed in a big way. I guess we will see :flag:

Not convinced. Spurs have a lot to prove. Memphis made the Spurs look pathetic last year, and beyond that, the Lakers are the team we can't beat in the playoffs.

I just think okc and miami have a little bit too much firepower. nobody on that team is stopping lebron, leonard is an unproven rookie.

VERY different team from last year. Spurs entered playoffs last year having lost 8 of their last 12 and Manu broke his elbow in last game of the reg season.

This year... 14 straight wins. 25-2 in last 27 games. 22-3 in past 25 road games (in 2 of those losses, big-3 sat out)

SA has added talent since then. They're more complete, offensively. And they're playing defense at an entirely differently level than last year too (see link in my last post).

'11 playoff Spurs and '12 playoff Spurs couldn't be more different. No comparison.

look i am by no means like half the people on here who are saying they are going to win their 5th this year....i think they are still a ways away but to say they are a "classic example of a team that plays well against shitty competition" and not against some of the better teams in the league is a little bit of a strech to me.

Many fans have too much respect for individual greatness. Neither OKC nor MIA is going to outscore the Spurs. The Spurs are an offensive MACHINE right now. Those teams will have to be significantly better than SA on the defensive end to have any chance. The Spurs know that, which is why we've seen them up their game on that end of the floor considerably. Hollinger is correct. SA is the most complete team in the league right now. Must be considered favorites.

So playoff positioning meant less to teams this year because they played a shortened regular season? Please explain the logic. I'm at a loss.

that's taking it a bit far. im saying that they look better than they are by absolutely crushing inferior competition, but when faced with miami or okc i just see them falling up the smallest bit short. just my 2 cents. nobody to guard lebron or wade, or durant/westbrook for that matter. okc has solid defensive bigs and will control the boards, too.

[mavs>spurs]

playoff positioning has NEVER been worth exerting yourself too hard in the regular season over. the mavs learned that many times the hard way.

That's just it. The Spurs did not exert themselves at all :lol They are the most rested team of all playoff teams.

They also had the best record vs. +500 teams

[td4mvp21]

Huh? The Spurs had the best record in the league vs. .500+ teams. I'm not really sure what you consider "good" competition since Hawks/Pacers were +.500, but the Spurs went 4-4 against Miami, OKC, Lakers, and Bulls. Ginobili was gone in 3 out of those 4 losses.

OKC, Miami, and Lakers can take them out but I just don't think that's a correct statement. They've played well against the good teams this year.

Miami would have the 3 best players in a series against the Spurs. Tough to overcome that even considering Heats lack of depth
John Hollinger (12:43 PM)

Two best, yes. But I'd argue 3, 4 and 5 play for San Antonio, as do 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. Chalmers could probably be the Spurs' 10th man if he applied himself; he's the fourth-best payer on Miami. That's why I'd take San Antonio.

Is Joe Blow from NY really saying Bosh > Parker and Duncan at this point? You can even make an argument Ginobili > Bosh, even now.

Hilarious.

[dunkman]

regular season games in a lockout season where nobody gave it 100% is your proof?

Few Spurs players logged more than 30 mpg during the streak and Pop never used Duncan - Splitter, Blair also started. It's not that the Spurs couldn't play much better.

That being said, Miami has chances. So does the Celtics. I'm not sure about OKC, they don't matchup well, imo they can't win a series against the Spurs. The Lakers probably could, but they aren't coached so well, also I don't think they could take OKC out. And the Grizzlies won't survive the first round.

[rascal]

Not convinced. Spurs have a lot to prove. Memphis made the Spurs look pathetic last year, and beyond that, the Lakers are the team we can't beat in the playoffs.
Love this squad, but the Spurs ain't done nothing yet.

I find it hard to believe the Spurs with their weak frontline can get past the Lakers if they meet up with them. Too many people here are already hoisting up number five without considering who the spurs are still relying on, on the frontline.

The spurs may get lucky facing teams with injured stars and get the easiest matchups along the way and coast to the fianals but I am seeing people here expecting future series sweeps based off the regular season and Utah.

Ouch... Someone's hurt :lol

When did I say Lebron sucks? I said he's a streaky shooter which he is, and most of his points come off dunks hence the high fg%... Which they do. Those are facts my friend.

Lebron get's trigger happy and every now and then can't miss a shot. But there are times when he's shooting when he should be penetrating and he let's the defense off the hook. Or am I wrong to say he's not always aggressive?

All these naysayers are not looking how the Spurs absolutely manhandled the LAL last two games after just one adjustment to the lineup or have swept the Grizz and beaten the Thunder in the series this year.

Ok I'll be serious for a moment.

To say LeBron's high FG% is because he dunks alot says you don't watch basketball. LeBron has a higher FG% this year mainly because he is taking better shots, does he still settle for jump shots? Yes, but not as often and his high percentage of dunks is because he gets to the rim and finishes. LeBron is not someone many people can stay in front of. You can look at numbers all day but it doesn't give a fair assessment of match ups and I wouldn't put to much weight on it.

Spurs simply do not have anyone who guard LeBron. He is capable of outright dominating games... So is Wade and tbh I have more trust in Wade...

And you aren't looking at how LAL manhandled them, or how Miami destroyed them.

Mostly, you aren't factoring in the fact that good teams play differently in the playoffs, they play harder, they play their starters longer, they have shorter rotations.

Agree. But I also don't think that Miami can guard Parker or Duncan. And I think that having a bench that allows us to keep rotating guys in on LeBron and Wade will help us a lot.

Honestly, I think each team is a significant matchup problem for the other. If we make it that far, it should be a fascinating series. I think we have a good shot at winning, but I think that calling it in the bag is laughable.

DId you not see the link I sent you?? It's not a "Fair Assessment" It's FACTS

Lebron shot:

74% from the restricted area (427 attempts)
43% from inside the paint (129 attempts)
42% mid range shots (444 attempts)
32% corner 3 pt shots (19 attempts)
37% above 3 point line (130 attempts)

Again... I said Lebron shoot's a high FG% Because of all the dunks he gets. Dude that's your favorite team and you don't even know this? smh... I watch plenty basketball, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out.

In terms of guarding Lebron? No one individually can guard him. But if we throw that zone out there, I think it'll be interesting watching Miami try to execute in the half court.

He doesn't care. Ace is probably one of the worst posters on the board. He's extremely confident that LeBron James is all it will take to beat the Spurs 4 times.

[DJB]

Ok I'll be serious for a moment.

Spurs simply do not have anyone who guard LeBron. He is capable of outright dominating games... So is Wade and tbh I have more trust in Wade...

1. Stephen Jackson will bang with LeBron all night long and get under his skin, guaranteed.

2. Kawhi Leonard is an incredibly talented on-ball defender and will check him when Jax is on the bench.

3. Saying that LeBron is "capable of outright dominating games" is complete garbage, and you know it. If you think LeBron is going to have his way against the Spurs in a 7 game series, you will be extremely disappointed when that does not happen.

DId you not see the link I sent you?? It's not a "Fair Assessment" It's FACTS

Lebron shot:

74% from the restricted area (427 attempts)
43% from inside the paint (129 attempts)
42% mid range shots (444 attempts)
32% corner 3 pt shots (19 attempts)
37% above 3 point line (130 attempts)

Why even watch? You can look up numbers...

exactly, you guys were the only ones giving it 100% in the regular season. that isn't going to translate to a championship though just because you got omg teh one seeeed!!!!

Huh?

The Spurs are the one team in the league that didn't try very hard to play for seeding. They rested their starters more then any team in the league.

Obvious troll is obvious.

[Leetonidas]

Too bad LeBron will probably choke like always in the Finals :lol

[tmtcsc]

LeBron all by himself beat the shit out the Spurs. Spurs have no chancePERIOD...
