season over! when's LOB hoisted?

[jhfenton]

They're also #1 on NBA.com and ESPN.com. It's pleasant to see and better than any alternative, but it's still November.

How nice. Literally all 9 of our wins have been against shitty teams, but I'll take it.

If we had lost any of those games you'd be complaining.

Yep. But I'll take it.

yes. but remember over 75% of the NBA is composed shitty teams. The non-shitty teams can be counted with ease: Miami, Chicago, Indiana, OKC, GS, Clippers?, Portland?

NBA is in a sorry ass state

[Robz4000]

One of those wins was against GS. They didn't have Curry, but Douglas made sure to knock in 6 threes to make up for it.

[Dex]

Can't set the schedule; you can only play the games.

[Stabula]

A little meaningless right now but still nice

[KaiRMD1]

Basically, they are games we are supposed to win anyway. Pleasant surprise over years where we have lost to shitty teams.

[UZER]

Pop will start tinkering soon...

[BatManu20]

Hopefully Timmy can pick it up. Career low 12 ppg on 39% shooting so far is pretty rough. *fingers crossed*

[DJR210]

I get your point, but some of those shitty teams are beating better teams though.

[Juggity]

72-10 confirmed

[Sean Cagney]

They're also #1 on NBA.com and ESPN.com. It's pleasant to see and better than any alternative, but it's still November.
Last part is all I give a damn about... It is still November, rather be on top in June.

lol Power Rankings
lol "omg medias like us" threads

[Robz4000]

:lol anyone thinking the Spurs won't go 73-9

[cd021]

I, absolutely believe,we can break our franchise record. I thought that heading into this season. As it stands right now its looks more and more realistic. The West isn't nearly as competitive as it once was. I don't see 8 teams finishing 18 games above .500 like in the 09-10 season.

10-11- 61-21- Duncan missed 4 games straight and we lost all of them en route to 6 straight losses late in the season
11-12 50-16-Injuries to Ginobili cost him 30 games. Second highest winning percentage in Duncan era (.758) Lost 16 games to lockout.
12-13 58-24 Duncan, Parker, Ginobili all missed at least 12 games. Leonard missed 24 games.

[Kidd K]

I wouldn't pawn it off as nothing just because none of the teams we beat were fully healthy contenders. We still played a lot of road games in a short period of time while two of our key guys have been either hurt and missing games or struggling.

It's still decently impressive considering the circumstances. After all, we're not going to go 9-1 against 10 contenders all in a row, so who cares if we didn't?

We were missing Duncan too, so it was fair.

Nah, Timmy played. He was the reason Iggy didn't tie it at the end.

Pop will most probably sit our starters after the all star break once we hit certain wins. I dun see Pop trying to break records that dun mean anything

I believe Kidd K was being sarcastic and I agree with him. Duncan played but didn't "Play" he looked lost out there.

We still should win 64 games and its not like he will keep guys out weeks at a time. A game for Parker here and another for Duncan there.

The West isn't nearly as daunting this year.

[Bill_Brasky]

this isn't college, these guys are all playing at the same level. 9-1 is a very hot start.

[Robz4000]

and I implied he played clutch D when the Spurs needed him most with the game on the line...

[Robz4000]

Ya we double postin

[Spanklin]

If Popovich hadn't screwed up royally by signing Ginobili to a cancerous contract and gotten Kevin Martin instead then nobody would beat us. But alas... Ray Allen.
