Spurs will still have..

[Reck]

50+ wins by the end of the regular season despite getting destroy by +.500 teams.

Says alot about the state the NBA is at right now. :lmao

With that said, Spurs better get it in gear or they will get their asses booted in the first round.

They haven't looked this bad against respectable teams in a long time. smh

who's coasting harder, the Spurs or Miami?

[RD2191]

Spurs looking like a 1st round exit, tbh. shit offense and defense

[cjw]

They're on pace to play friggen Denver, Phoenix or Dallas in the first round. Can coast and make it to round 2 no problem. Game got out of hand because we have no backup PG. Mills is a change of pace guy, CoJo is useless and Manu/Marco can't guard the CP3s. Surprised they didn't pair Manu and Mills (not that Mills can) and Marco and Danny because at least he can defend.

[freetiago]

Spurs played a game exactly like this at the beginning of last year with DeMonkey going off and getting a bunch of turnovers that lead to dunks
then post all-star break the first game back they put an absolute beating on the Clippers

all this game really showed is we have no playmakers who can dribble a ball
as soon as Parker goes up we go to Tim post ups
or Turnobilis

We still have to pay him anyway.

pop should let udoka coach some of the games since we are coasting, tbh

I don't care how early it is, you're either in denial or flat out don't know what you're watching, if you don't see the same troubling signs repeatedly with this team against good teams. Some are fixable, but two loom as potential long term problems . . .

1) They've gotten lazy offensively. They basically run the same few things over and over again, because the mediocre - bad teams aren't good enough for it to matter against. The trouble is, that no longer confounds the good teams and let's face it, if those teams can disrupt their fluidity offensively, more often than not, it's game over.

2) The manage the game/take over in the 4th Parker is good enough against mediocre - bad teams, but not the good ones. They need the top five player version to beat good teams, especially when they're taken out of their offense. If he doesn't have the legs to do it in one offs here and there, then how could he possibly have enough to do it for four grueling playoff rounds?

Spurs looked AWFUL heading into the playoffs last year and were 5 seconds from a championship.

These losses are frustrating as hell but I also look at that the Spurs are just two games out of first place in the league yet they have so much room for improvement.

That's a very good point that more people should take into consideration. You can't judge a team by its extremes; you have to judge it by its average, because that's a better reflection of how they perform most of the time.

If we judge a team by its extremes, we are misled. Even the best teams look like shit at times, and even the worst teams have occasional flashes of genius.

You spent all of last season saying the exact same shit you've been saying this season, tbh:lol..you repeated that the Spurs weren't a contender, stating the reasons you always seem to argue for, it's boring, tbh..

These games don't mean anything..they didn't mean anything when the Spurs struggled during last year's regular season, yet made the Finals..they didn't mean anything when the Spurs dominated the regular season in 2011 and 2012, but couldn't make it past Memphis and OKC..

Regular season games are largely meaningless in regards to judging future success, as you should know by the fact that you were dead wrong about your assessments of the 2013 Spurs and the 2011 to 2013 Heat, mostly based on your regular season observations:lol..

Hmmm, I wonder if last year's championship run had anything to do with Westbrook out injured or drawing the mangled and dysfuctional Lakers in the 1st round, playing an inexperienced Warriors team with Curry playing on a bad ankle and topping it off with the offensively challenged Grizzlies. Sounds like a recipe for success to me.

You don't really understand how home court works. You can count on losing a home game per series against better competition. But if you're the lower seed and you drop a home game, you have to win two on the road. Didn't happen last year vs the Heat.

The 2011 Spurs team was severely flawed, beating bad teams, and good teams were constantly playing them with rotational players out injured. They had very few, if any statement wins that year. The 2012 team had their chance taken away from them in Game 6 against the thunder. Parker's choke job in game 5 ddn't help.

The Heat were gifted the title in 2012. The refs weren't going to deny them. Had they actually called the foul on Lebron when he clearly fouled Durant in the act of shooting, the series outcome would have been totally different. The 2013 championship was also gift wrapped by the Spurs. Though, if not for a coaching blunder in the ECF's, the Heat wouldn't have eveñ made the finals.

I'm mainly having fun with this thread captain buzzkill.

It'd be funny if the Spurs continue to lose to good teams though. Then we'd really have an embarrasement on our hands.

Oh and did you missed the part where I said Spurs would still get their 50 wins, per par.

So unwad your panties and have a laugh.

Better beat OKC on the 21st

Spurs got lucky last year playing the easiest matchups(lower seeds) possible through the west. They were lucky Westbrook went down and knocked out OK.

[Leetonidas]

:lol typical Spurs fans overvaluing meaningless games, tbh..

Same shit, different season tbh the Spurs forum has been the exact same way for 8+ years I've been on ST. Homers who cut their wrists and cliff jump after every loss

This is exactly why the Spurs got to the finals. Keeping the same core as last years team and believing it is enough to get them to the finals again is saying the spurs will need similar luck in their playoff run this year.

Quit being moronic. Luck has a lot to do with any team making it to the Finals, but that doesn't mean they aren't worthy. The Spurs will have ups and downs throughout the season, but at the end of the day they'll be in the thick of it for a chance at a title.

Yep last time they were so bad against good teams was back when Bynum grabbed 30 rebounds over Blair's head...
