Three more years of making the playoffs.

Three more years of cheering for Tim Duncan as a spur.

This is why we're not so different from Lakerfans, tbh...

You make some of the worst posts in this forum. Many teams are good for a few years and then fade away, Spurs are good now how many years? Titles lately no, but how many teams have lasted this long at this level? Stop bitching and enjoy it.

I wouldn't call making the playoffs 22 out of the last 23 seasons mediocrity.

It'll be interesting to see what the Spurs do year after next year with Manu and Jackson contracts expiring. Next year is probably the final push for a 'chip before mediocrity really hits the following year. I think keeping Duncan around for the young guys we draft after that will be great.

Wasn't he bitching about the Spurs not doing anything less than a week ago? This has got to be a troll job.

Trade him to the Clippers then... we'd gladly take 3 years of his "mediocrity"...

I just wish there were some young, athletic bigs for Duncan to mentor.

Mediocrity!? Number 1 seed two years in a row, only lost WCFs because OKC got inordinately hot from 15-20ft... and to you that is mediocrity.

Just go away now. :pctoss

And what do you propose they do instead OP? Tell Duncan to go somewhere else? Trade Ginobili for a 18th pick and another, inferior high salary player? Then what? Tell Parker thanks but no thanks, we're going to suck now and waste the prime of your career?

Explain to me how re-signing Duncan when we were two games away from the Finals last year (and imo, still only lost because Stern "booked" it to be a series win for OKC) is a bad move. Because I'm not seeing it.

We're not going to get any free agents flocking to the city, especially with Duncan gone. We're not going to be finding any great gems in the draft to replace the gigantic hole we'd have in our frontcourt with him gone too. Barely anyone ever comes here. Certainly not anyone worth a damn unless we overpay which would be the same mistake you're essentially claiming they're making now.

The team is going to suck for a long time after Duncan's gone. Try enjoying it rather than bitching that you get to see winning basketball for another three years before it's over. The Spurs are not going to be interesting when Duncan and Manu are gone, and Parker is old and slowed down.

The statistical odds of the Spurs rising to the levels of power close to what we've just experienced within any reasonable amount of time are close to 0 unless we win the draft. . .which based on how Stern has seemed to set things up lately to perfectly have things go according to his plans, isn't going to happen for 100% certainty. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we slid down to 4 or 5 if we had the worst record and best chance to get the top pick.



Only to dumb Spurs fans is a WCF appearance mediocrity.

Fixed it for you.


I bet when timmy won these :lobt: :lobt: :lobt: :lobt: you were happy.

I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't a Spurs fan until the mid to late 2000s. Worse yet, probably hasn't been since 2007 or 2008. If he watched in the early 2000's when he was carrying a team of scrubs and still won a title, I seriously doubt he'd be running his mouth about Duncan sticking around.



I wouldn't call making the playoffs 22 out of the last 23 seasons mediocrity.

And winning more titles than all but like. . .3 teams in ANY major sport over that span; Bulls (6, 1990-1998), Yankees (5, 1996-now), Lakers (5, 2000-now).

Not exactly a poor showing, especially considering the only teams with more championship wins are from the largest three markets in the country with the most cash to blow on buying players and titles.

Mediocrity.

There are 30 teams.
Mediocrity (medium, in the middle) is between 11 and 20.

I don't see Spurs being mediocre.
They will be very good, again.

I don't know what you are looking at. I really love that they bring back the same team as last year.

I'm looking forward to watch the beautiful passing basketball if they can duplicate what they did last year.

At this point, I don't really care about the ring anymore. I was really enjoying last year Spurs more than any other Spurs in the past several years. To watch Leonard grew in front of our eyes, the swagger from SJ, and the magical passing from Diaw. To be honest, I have never seen any other team play as well as the Spurs in their 20 game winning streak(offensively).

...So you're now admitting the Spurs are basically the mid 2000s Suns? :stirpot:

I admit Duncan is a much better defensive big than Amare though :stirpot:

I like that they bring back the team that was so successful last season. But the Spurs will never be in a better position to win the title than last season. Ok, the refs really screwed them, but the Thunder were really good as well. Anybody can say Ibaka will not shoot 11/11 FG again, but the series showed, if something like this does not happen, another thing will. The Spurs need a defensive PF, and I do not see how they can afford one.

And don't forget the Spurs stayed relatively healthy (except Manu) compared to other teams. With key Spurs players in the Olympic tournament I expect an 82 game season to take its toll as it did the years before last season.

So the Spurs will likely stay above "mediocrity", but too much will be missing coming season to get over the hump ...

We've been the top seed in the West the past couple of years. Out of 30 teams, we lasted in the final four, and was 2 wins from the Finals. I don't see how you can call that mediocre.
