Hawks and Warriors are fluke teams

[SpursDynasty]

And we once against have the 2004-2008 Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks who can run and gun with the best of them but can't play defense.

The Hawks and Warriors have not beaten the Spurs this season.

[100%duncan]

Both teams have showed that they can play elite defense. I don't know what you are talking about.

Who ain't a fluke team?

Regular season games are an obvious predictor for playoff series as the past few years have shown us all...

Perhaps they're just beating teams they're supposed to beat? Getting rebounds they're supposed to get? Making shots they're supposed to make?

2 games out of 5/6 have been played. Still I take the Spurs over those two bums.

Hawks allow the fewest PPG of any team in the league. I wouldn't call that shitty defense.

[Jacob1983]

Spurs fan just butthurt that your team is average this year and not on anyone's radar. Wait, isn't that what you peckers want? Because the Spurs always fly under the radar even as defending champs.

[Bynumite]

Spurfan better start doing what they do best. Get on their knees and start wishing injury on opposing players. Chop chop.

[spurraider21]

Warriors are #1 in defensive rating and Hawks are #4

I've missed your threads. SpursDynasty is HI-Larious and arguably the biggest troll on ST. :lmao

[Raven]

both are very good, i wouldn't call them fluky teams. I question the ability of their perimeter players, not to get taken out of games.

[ElNono]

they just made some shots :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Warriors and Hawks are both legit. I had the Dubs as my #2 seed this year and everyone on Spurstalk thought that was hilarious.

[Splits]

Both teams play hard.

[Franklin]

Mavs defense has been legit since 2006 tbh. There were intervals when we might struggle a bit defensively but overall we've been on a whole different level in defense compared to the Don Nelson era imho.

[hater]

lotta pretenders in the league.

HOU/POR/LAC for sure

GSW is the next overrated team. Gets beat up when they meet real teams like SAS/OKC/MEM

IMO these teams have a good chance to win the west: DAL/SAS/MEM

OKC is the dark horse.

[Killakobe81]

LOL Memphis cannot win West without an upgrade at a wing spot who can create besides Conley.

They already got Green, although overrated, can fit pretty well in the starting line-up. Takes minutes less from an aging Carter, this way Carter can be more efficient when he gets to play. I've said this before, if Memphis manages to dodge the Spurs then they can win the West.

Depends on who they end up facing... lots of teams playing fast, fast, fast right now, but when the playoffs come around, things slow down a lot and that's Memphis game...

Memphis would knock out Por, Hou and LAC but I don't see them beating GSW okc or SAS.

[FromWayDowntown]

I'm glad to see the trolling produce an actual conversation for at least a few posts.

[~O~]

Hawks are legitimate. They just don't receive attention. Its always you know who and that other guy. I've started watching the Hawks recently and their play making is the shit.

[RD2191]

I trust the Hawks more than the Dubs.

[Findog]

OKC is no guarantee to make the playoffs. They're 22-20, Phoenix is at 8th at 26-18. The Suns are on a pace to finish 48-34, which means the SloppySeconds would have to go 27-13 the rest of the way. Possible, but by no means is it assured OKC will get the 8 seed. If they did, a first-round series vs GSW would be incredible.

[daslicer]

I think the Warriors will get out of the West if they avoid the Spurs. The Spurs are the only team that gives them matchup problems mainly because Green and Kawhi can lock down the splash brothers.

This. "Just doing what they are supposed to do. Shooting some shots. No biggie."
