:lmao The Spurs are going to beat the Warriors round 1, the Rockets round 2 and the Lakers round 3 according to Spurs Twitter

[Kyle Kashuv]

:lmao

The Spurs are in a 5-team battle for the 8 seed with Sacramento, Dallas, New Orleans, and Minnesota. Thinking they’re better than that is just delusional.

[FkLA]

I don't see the issue. Barring major injuries, we are winning the West. Srs.

[Robz4000]

The Lakers' locker room won't survive half the season tbh, the Rockets are a bit worse than last season (assuming CP0 doesn't completely fall off a cliff), and they just went to Game 7 against the Nuggets who didn't add anyone of note. Spurs can land anywhere between the 3rd seed and 10th imo.

[timtonymanu]

Not that far off. They could be like OP calling Houston in 7 or that the Warriors were gonna win without Durant.

[ElNono]

They are delusional. Clippers obviously way superior and Rockets and Warriors still head and shoulders over the Spurs. Lakers likely better too (although I don't have the Lakeshow better than the other 3 teams).

[DeadlyDynasty]

I don't see the issue. Barring major injuries, we are winning the West. Srs.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

That piece of shit Moore has always had a thing against the spurs. He sucked off Chris Paul so much throughout his career and has been proven wrong thinking Chris was that good. He's wrong about so much stuff regularly. Fuck him lol

Aight. We'll revisit this when that time comes.

Spurs fans need to,realize they caught lightning ins a bottle wi a once in a lifetime draft pick. Odds are that team will never ring again.

[Dirks_Finale]

They have Pop so they overachieve practically every year -- low turnovers, not many fouls, always get back on defense.

I could see them getting a 4 seed if the young guys develop.

2nd round is the ceiling, imo.

Swap out DeFrozen for a impact player(Even marginal impact) and they could go further.

Early, but I have my top 8 here:

1.) Clippers
2.) Utah
3.) Lakers
4.) Nugz
5.) Blazers
6.) Spurs
7.) Rockets
8.) Mavs or GSW

I don't know why Utah keeps getting rated so highly like they're the ones who just landed Kawhi. Tier 1 is Clippers, Tier 2 is Lakers, Tier 3 is Blazers, Jazz, Nuggets, Rockets, Spurs, Warriors in no particular order. I could see Tier 3 finishing in pretty much any order but I'd be shocked to not see Clippers with the best record in the West and Lakers second. But 3-8 look very close, assuming Golden State doesn't rush Klay back after seeing how much of a disaster rushing players back was this year. If Klay comes back looking decent then they're right there with LeBron.

...that was the player's decision. You could not have stopped them with a gun. But, again Media doesn't want to rattle the player's & their agent's cages. Just easier, less risky to blame it on the team.

Pop stopped Duncan in 2000. Nellie stopped Nowitzki in 2003.

Now George Irvine ruined Grant Hill's career in 2000. And it looks like Kerr did Durant's in 2019.

Nobody forced Durant to go out there. That was his choice. & it just as easily could have worked out to another ring and/or no injury.

(They) probably never even considered it past about what, less than 5 minutes, less than 3? Something like that.

I dont think the Lakers are going to hold up health wise.

AD is made of porcelain and Lebron is finally starting to crack.

Removing Favors is an upgrade. Addition by subtraction.

[ambchang]

Spurs can be this years nuggets. Overachieve by playing an inside outish offense. Defend hard.

I won’t be surprised if the spurs get a 3 or 4 seed but would realistically stick then at 5 or 6.

My only concern is Morris destroying team chemistry.

[Spurtacular]

Spurs have some pieces that they didn't have last season in addition to returning players. It's too early to discount them.

[Othyus Lalanne]

:lmao

The Spurs are in a 5-team battle for the 8 seed with Sacramento, Dallas, New Orleans, and Minnesota. Thinking they’re better than that is just delusional.

Why not?

Our team actually overachieves.

[dg7md]

5th seed at best tbh, and that implies the absolute best case scenario. More likely we are 6.

[playbonner15]

Meh health is still a huge factor with any team. And with Spurs' luck the past seasons, I'll just enjoy the wins and shit post on losses

[Thread]

Please. If you didn't tank for Duncan you'd be O & forever with the Suns.

[benefactor]

A top 4 seed is doable tbh. As Harlem has mentioned, this team has a solid regular season build with plenty of depth to churn out a good record. WCF is probably their ceiling.

[Chucho]

Spurs will finish with a better record than the Lakers again. That's all that matters to me. Called it last year, calling it again this year.

We have a decent punchers chance against the Clips too. Paul George is a massive loser and Doc Rivers is a shit coach who should have at least 1 more ring.

The West is set up perfect for the NBA this year. If you told me a Spurs/Clips WCF would bring huge ratings a few years back I'd fucking laugh at you...but no there's no doubt it would with all the story lines involved.

& all because your stupid asses couldn't keep your ass scratchers on the gd kid.

& the kicker, the livin' fuckin' end? Media called off the dogs when Pop ran him off to another country, but, the cocksuckers land on their gd feet as they usually do because we sniffed. Didn't touch, no, uh, uh, we just sniffed. Now Media gets a free fuckin' ride for years. Media guessed so fuckin' wrong on the old man. "We're safe, let's give him some oxygen (Summer '16) so that when he augers in (1st Tuesday November '16) we can gather round the crash site and bury his big fuckin' white ass." Uh, uh, it was the old man who stood gaffe, laughed last..."Put your fuckin' mouth on that curb. Now, say good night."

But, Media got straightened out here. The fucks.

Spurs were never investigated for tanking like they were investigated for collusion when they got Shaq. So no, by definition, the Spurs were clean and you are not. And don't come up with some random "rules" that you do not abide by yourself, you two faced hypocrite chickenshit.

3rd worst record, got a great record (by that year's standard) the last 20 games, so you have no room.

The only argument is that they shut down Robinson early, but Robinson was proven to be hurt, his career was never the same.

See, Cubs, you can't just spew your mouth off, have something to back up your bullshit, or it's just bullshit.

He doesn't & he ain't ta home. You can see it. He's just at the end of his career & doesn't know how to arrange an exit. As soon as it doesn't work precisely to plan he mentally wanders off leaving other interested players & parties lost in the backwash. He has no conviction & never has. As soon as we (dip) out this season he'll start in with the contract expiration strategy.

We should have insisted on 4 years, not 3.

Yeah that’s a good way to put it, he knew he didn’t want to stay in Cleveland after 2018, so he reluctantly signed with the Lakers and hasn’t known what to do since then.

Yep, and I can't understand for the life of me why. But, it was never questioned by a living soul in OR out of Media. He was leaving and that was that. Didn't make a lick of sense. Gets out there and the clock just went berserk with speed and he's 2/3 the way thru before with blinked with all hands on the panic button.

It's an unmitigated disaster hitched to all the disasters that preceded it. We ain't hit bottom yet. We're still in free fall.

I still think his big fuck up was leaving Miami. He had a home there and Riley would have been able to retool after Wade + Bosh. Even though he won a ring his 2nd stint in Cleveland never seemed right either, from the moment he forced a Kevin fucking Love trade.
