Okay its like this. Yeah this season ended. We waited patiently, for playoffs.. and im not gonna lie, sometimes the wait was very boring. I dont know about you guys, but this year has to be one of the most, if not the most boring regular season ever.. maybe because we were just anxious for the playoffs where we can get attention again, or maybe we were just tired of all the buzz and hype around gsw, and we just couldnt care less and waited for playoff only to dethrone them, like we always do to any good team, because cmon.. the fact is, we are the champs of the west, and any team wants a shot, they have to go through the us, cos there is no skipping the spurs.
And make no mistake, spurs may be everything, but everyone here knows pop made adjustment and he had plan on how to effectively take out gsw. I mean the guy made it so obvious, and if you didnt realize it, none of our guys were scared at all.. no one feared them. I mean, after the beatdown they gave us in the 1st game ( which i believe pop didnt coach at all, he just went in there to test the water, say to attain a baseline, which he did ) and since then, he only had one purpose which was to topple gsw, but ONLY at the right time btw, which was during the playoffs. He wasnt going to expose alot during the regular season. But that didnt happen sadly, we got distracted and took some things for granted, and next thing you know, we're out. Thanks to OKC, which i think is going to get the broom treatment from GSW.
Man this year was just plain boring. Even the first round of playoffs was boring.
Now let me get to the topic, the reason i made this thread. I honestly think, we are going to come back next season and win it all in a very exciting way.
Here's why.
1) Firstly, just based on history.. look what happen in '13. We knew we couldve won. We knew we were the better team. We knew we were unsatisfied, and we knew we made stupid mistakes and it was our fault. But most importantly, we knew we wanted to come back and make ammends, and rectify our mistakes, and we couldnt sleep until we do just that. And we came back in '14, and took care of business.
Now im saying, the spurs will want OKC more than gsw, or any other team in history. Book that. We're gonna open up this season, looking for blood, and OKC knows that we're coming for them.
2) Danny Green: He's getting better. Yea i know he was in a slump throughout most ( or ill say all) regular season games, but he came back and showed life during the playoffs. He's going to show up this year. I honestly believe, this will be his breakout season. He's the elite 3 pointer, the new ray allen, except now getting shadowed by the modern way of marksmanship of curry. We're forgetting that he too is ambitious, and he's gonna show us exactly how he's gonna make himself be relevant again. To show his value. To be significant again. I have absolutely no doubt that he will rise up to the challenge. He wont come up short.
3) Leonard: look, theres nothing much left to say for this guy. He is a good player. Next season, he will be even better... more mileage under him is exactly what he needs. He's gonna be so hardcore. Im excited that we have him.
4) LA: He's not going anywhere. He wants it to work, and he's play better instanly, because of the 2 names i just mentioned above.
5) TP: yeah he's getting old, and he cant keep up with these new point guard. But say what you want ( and ill prolly get torched alot from everyone by sayign this) But he is the best point guard for us. There i said it.
I dont know about you guys, but 2nd half of this season, i see him being the perfect guard for the spurs. He dont hero ball anymore, he dont force his shot anymore, and he has the wisdom and bball IQ to make decisions. He know when to turn up, and when not to. He knows its not his team anymore, but most importantly, he knows he still can help.. alot. And that is exactly whats he's gonna do.
Man.. this upcoming season, is not going to be a pointguard league anymore... we're gonna make it to be all about the forwards. Its gonna be a forward league. Leonard is gonna go ape shit crazy on the floor. He's gonna be so dominant. I just know it. And tp will help him get there. No other point guard has a better IQ then him. I have faith in him.
Now with all this being said, maybe duncan will retire.. maybe manu will follow him.. but a miracle might just happen where they BOTH decides to give it a last go. I mean think about it. Why not? they planted the fruit.. now as leonard is growing and green being better, why not stay and taste the investment?
I know duncan still has that fire burning. Maybe even stronger than the fire he had after the finals loss in '13.
Especially cos he knows his team couldve made it all the way. Hell, everybody knows it. But we just coasted all the way
And i ask myself all the time.. Why do the spurs do this? why do they always play games like they have no intentions to win. Like they just dont care. Like they are defected somehow and just cant turn it up.
I realize that, they could only play with determination and soul only when they have something to prove. Look at our '14 run. Remember our regular season game? Remember how at one point, the bench played better then regular? remember patty mills, going berserk from the 3 pointer line? Danny green hitting those 3s? Leonard showing up big time?
They proved themselves, and right away after that, they went back to theyre normal self and started coasting again immediately...
However now, after this horrible exit from the playoff.. they find themselves back in an almost familiar situation again.
AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEEDED NOW.. and for them being in that state of emotion is exactly what we like.. BECAUSE WHY? because this shit will spark them to have another great run. And that run will be Duncan's final run.
Anyways.. its just my thoughts.. what do you guys think? Any possibility? Any chance anyone here thinking the same?
