Unless okc does something major

Is any of this free agency bs bringing any team closer to our Spurs. In other words we're gonna repeat so who gives a shit where Lebron goes.

OKC with a healthy Ibaka is no piece of cake.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

OKC with a healthy Ibaka is no piece of cake.

OKC as is is still a tough cookie for the Spurs to crack. To me, they are the only team standing in the way of the Spurs repeating. This is kinda of why I would love to see the Spurs get Gasol, who can hit the 18-20 ft jumper consistently and draw Ibaka out of the paint on defense.

Diaw did a great job this year, but it doesn't hurt to have some extra ammunition in stock.

[100%duncan]

Never under-estimate food stamps. I expected better from a donut lover tbh.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

We are not gonna run through OKC and it will be a dogfight even if we are 100% healthy. Homecourt advantage is a must. Hopefully we can get it, I think the thunder will be on a mission this year to get it. Also, Clippers could do us a solid and take them out for us.

[DesignatedT]

Same song and dance for last 7 years. Spurs are healthy = Spurs have as good a chance as anyone. Spurs are not healthy = Odds dip considerably.

[Jimcs50]

Next year, it will be Durrants turn to get injured in playoffs.

:p:

[tlongII]

No way the Spurs repeat. You're already accumulating injuries. And an already old team will be another year older. Not gonna happen.

[Crux]

OKC still has brooks, westbrook and no playbook right? Not so worried at the end of the day.

[Old School 44]

With the conference so strong, I think the key is to get the number one seed. Not that Spurs are ducking anyone, but it was nice not having to play either the Clips or the Rockets in last years playoffs. OKC had to go through 7, 3, 1 seeds to get to the finals, where the Spurs had to go through 8, 5, 2. Even though they had a tough Mavs series, I'll take that path any time.

:lol Still salty after that ass whooping. Keep dreaming. Two of the oldest teams in the league just played for the title and both got there without too much trouble. That 7 game Dallas series was cute for all the fans. There would have been no drama in the Spurs' playoff run without it.

[spursparker9]

So far OKC only manage to get Telfair right?

[tlongII]

How's Patty's recovery from shoulder surgery going? And how about Ginobili's leg fracture? :lol

[Crux]

going great, its the off season.

How'd all those injuries before ASB last year go for us, outcome was.. oh wait..

Just fine, I hear they are convalescing with Greg Oden, Brandon Roy and Sam Bowie! :lol

How is the Blazer's bench. Oh it does matter if their injured or not b/c they do jack shit anyways.

[Fpoonsie]

lol @ faggot OP.

Even the team that took SA to the brink last year got considerably stronger. OKC is far from the only concern.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

I hold my reserve on this one b/c what gave the Spurs the most trouble was the 3 man rotation of Harris, Calderon and Ellis and Calderon was shooting lights out in that series. Felton is a lazy defender and not the shooter Calderon is. Career 48% to 41% 2p FG and 41% to 31% career 3pt shooter. And a career 4 to 1 Asst to TO as opposed to 2.5 to 1.

Mavs took a downgrade in the guard dept but a upgrade in the front court department which made the trade a wash imo.

If the Mavs land Parson, then that would be a different story.

[FromWayDowntown]

With James now heading back to Cleveland, Bosh seems likely to end up in Houston. If they match Parsons, they could be better than they were last year.

[Fpoonsie]

I guess I'm making that claim provided that signing comes to fruition.

[KL2]

OKC are a bunch of fucking scrubs, they'll never win a title but they'll always be contenders regardless of who they have around the NBA's two manufactured superstars, KD and WB. They'll only go as far as the refs will carry them.

Par for the course with the Spurs. They rely on depth so that one injury doesn't destroy the whole team.

[-21-]

Almost all the playoff teams in the West are getting better. Next year looks like a much tougher road imo.

[Horse]

Fuck you cocksucker. Once we figured them out it was over. It was a matter of taking them seriously that's it. And the only reason it took so long was cause we beat them 10 straight.

[Horse]

Injury is the only way we don't. Truthfully the playoffs were not even close. Once the Spurs made their mind up series over. Now hopefully they will be fueled by the possibility of this being Timmys last season.

[SnakeBoy]

Just heard on sportscenter that Cleveland is now thefavorite to ring...3:1 odds with the Spurs and OKC at 4:1.

Who got tougher? Houston? They are hoping to sign a very weak 7 footer who likes to chuck up 3's. Dallas? By pinning their hopes on a Center they never should have let walk a few years back? Yeah.....he's not the same player he used to be. OKC? By getting Telfair? :lol..

The Clippers? Memphis? What did they do?

Cleveland just got better and the Spurs will be as tough as ever.

The Blazers got better. We added depth which was our biggest issue. Also our young guys will be better with another year of experience.

Signed Blake, lost Mo Williams. I guess that's better.

[tmtcsc]

That ship has sailed. The final step was to get over the mental edge OKC gained after 2012. They don't have the bench or discipline to beat us in a 7 game series.

Healthy, I like our chances against anyone. Having said that, if Kawhi doesn't make that crazy steal from Westbrook at the end of game 6, we likely go to a game 7 with a tired Duncan/Manu and who know what would have happened in that scenario. I'm not scared of the Thunder but I would not underestimate them and they are clearly the biggest roadblock to our chances of repeating.

[TampaDude]

Lol spurs already breaking down

The only thing the Spurs are breaking down is every other NBA team's chances of winning the title.

2015 BACK2BACK!!!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

Bosh is better than Terrence Jones. Clippers added Spencer Hawes which is an upgrade from Antawn Jamison/Byron Mullens/Glen Davis. Blazers added Kaman and Blake. Maybe Kerr can further improve the Warriors. Not sure about Dallas with Felton/Harris as PGs and possibly losing Marion/Carter but they've still got Rick Carlisle. OKC is still a difficult match-up for the Spurs, they always have been.

Look, I'm not saying these are blockbuster moves, but they are still improvements no matter how small. The Spurs stayed relatively healthy and played their best basketball at the right time to win the championship. Now they are gonna be a year older and while that gives room for improvement, it also leaves plenty of room to decline. I like our chances of repeating but saying it's gonna be easy is being ignorant.

We also didn't have TP for the second half.

[G-Dawgg]

OKC is deadly, Ibaka is a beast. I'm honestly not 100% convinced that we would have won #5 if Ibaka was healthy for the whole series.. They'll be ready for us next year.

I liked more the Spurs friendly Tlong but now he´s back to his TSchlong form. :makemyday

[Horry Hipcheck]

Portland will catch fire early and fizzle again. Everyone's a year more experienced but unless they triple their depth chart and learn to use rotations they're one-and-done. Not even McHale will be able to bail Portland out a second time. The Rockets lost out on Bosh AND coughed up Parsons, so unless they make another move I expect more of the same from them. Dallas will be a resurgent threat and should give the Spurs a run for the division, but they'll likely avoid one another in the postseason until the semis or conference finals this time around.

OKC is always a pest, and they'll be motivated if they get SA again, but I think last season was a huge turning point in the rivalry. A lot of the Spurs woes were either athletic or mental, and once they got over the mental blocks their ball movement and crisp play exposed OKC's general lack of depth. Jackson and Thabo won't shit the bed again, I'd imagine, so the West looks to be a three horse race between SA, OKC, and Dallas. Cleveland will enter the history books for one of those historic single season turnarounds, and with Bosh staying in Miami the East playoffs will be a little more competitive.

Staying healthy and getting a big second season out of Marco should give the Spurs a solid chance at their fourth consecutive (!) conference finals appearance, if not third consecutive (!) Finals appearance.

The TLong pattern is basically like this:

364 days out of the year: Talks shit about the Spurs and posts non-stop articles about Portland peaking in November/December, Lillard hitting a meaningless gamewinner etc...denies the inevitable fact that Portland will find a way to fuck up once again

1 day out of the year: Shows class when San Antonio makes it further than Portland due to chokejob/horrible injury/etc...

Next day: Repeat faggotry
