After a good old fashion 2 game losing streak, it's always good to seperate who is where.

Do you think the Spurs will make the finals?

Do you think the Spurs will win the championship?

No X 2. For the record, I thought that when Duncan was sucking it up months ago.

I don't know if the Spurs will make the Finals. I certainly hope so. I think that the Spurs have at least as good of chance as everyone else. I would never count them out.

I think that if the Spurs do make the Finals the chances become even better that they will win it all.

As alwayes it depends on many things.

The health - now a big problem as I can see and it's almost playoffs
Lack of D - This is not a spusr defense and while the spusr take the lead they can defend it wow. And Detroit seems to play with their opponents letting them take the lead and then decide to take a run and they are winning (do not bring the ORL game )

Spusr can make it to the Finals, but yet it won't satisfy nobody on this board or any spurs fan I guess. Sacto, LA, are beattable, zMavs and Suns are going to be tough to beat but still the spurs, in my opinion, will make it. But hey I thought they will win this one and make a stand. They didn't and they were flat. I hate when they are flat. I can't watch games like this.

Yes and No. Who's going to represent the West - Dallas? The Spurs are what the Lakers in the 1980s were - a great team all-time in a shallow conference.

I don't see San Antonio losing in a seven game affair against the Mavs, and that means the Nuggets, Grizzlies, and Suns won't beat them in the Conference Finals. If everyone is healthy, no one in the west can stop them.

I expect a Finals rematch with a different result.

think we get beat by the mavs in the second round and pistons reclaim it all. just my feeling after watching last night. duncan's not duncan and no one knows why which means fixing it won't be easy. manu isn't manu, at least not based on last night. certainly he scored but i didn't see the wild man having fun like the year before, everything seems like a chore, esp. to make it to the rim. parker's been great but suspect, and he might be headed for the annual second-half letdown based on the past couple or three games, but even if he doesn't, he's not enough to get the team anywhere. nazr and nesterovich have yet to impress more than wallace and mcdyess or, hell, alonzo mourning or nenad kristic. bowen's doing his thing but he can only guard one guy, and last night's one-two punch of dirk and howard proved why that's a concern, the latter kept the mavs in it in the first half and certianly the first quarter, and dirk did his thing after that first quarter. we're not soft, but it seemed like we're old and tired. :(

Spurs will not make the finals because Duncan is too scared to shoot the ball so we won't win. Now if Duncan gets out of sissy mode then maybe we have a chance.

04-08-2006, 11:40 AM
Not only will they win it all, they will lose fewer games in the playoffs than last season. This season Pop has not played as if the regular season had anything to do with the playoffs, because they don't. He has used the entire season to measure his team against those he will face in the post-season.

For true championship squads, THAT is what the regular season is for; not seeding, not statement making! He has taken a page from Phil Jackson's book. Remember how the Spurs would match up with the Lakers when it didn't matter, then get smoked when it did?

That's interesting, Kori. You don't think Detroit has been playing that well?? They jsut beat Miami, Pheonix, and Dallas in the past couple of weeks. Obviously the Nets 14 game win streak is impressive, but I'd say Detroit is still playing as good as they have been the entire season.

Anyways, to answer the original question:

Love them to death, but this isn't our year. No complaints, and I'll watch them until they spiral in. Duncan is a shadow of his normal self, but he WILL return to form next year. The Spurs aren't very scary when you can single Duncan and live with the results. That takes Tony and Manu's penetration almost totally out of the equation, and turns them into a jump shooting team. The real killer though is the mediocre defense. I can't remember SO many games with the opponent shooting >= 50%, and times when the Spurs need one or two stops, and can't get them. I think that without realizing it, Tim had become our David, and with his compromised lift and mobility, he just can't cover for Nazr's shitty defense this year. That leaves the lane wide open, which explains the 50% games allowed.

As for the possible regular season wins record, keep in mind that the previous mark was 62, and that team lost a bitter series in the playoffs because they couldn't get stops when they needed them.

Can't disagree, in general. I think they have enough to make it out of the West, but the Pistons are going to punk them in the Finals, especially with homecourt. It'll probably take 5 games.

"such a juggernaut that they are unbeatable."

Pistons are beatable, but if the Spurs lose the first 2 @Auburn Hills, the series will be over, just like it was last season for the Pistons, who came back to SBC needing to win both Game6 and 7 (having lost Games1 and 2 @SBC), while the Spurs only needed to win one.

The Pistons know it, the Spurs know it.

The first two games at Auburn Hills will define the Finals.

I expect the Spurs/Mavs series to go 6 or 7 games.

I'm seriously beginning to worry if even Parker is going to be 100% by the playoffs, as carrying the load all season is starting to take its toll on him.

It's the easy way out to answer yes/yes in this forum, because if you are right you get to shove it in the others' faces and if you are wrong then you can just claim that you're a better fan and the others didn't believe enough. I guess that means a Knicks fans who doesn't answer yes/yes doesn't believe in his team either.

well then, we agree there are no unbeatable teams. so why worry? if if if if if if... you can do what if's all day. but why bother? life is too short for me to layout every playoff scenario in my head and dissect it. there are two months until june. a lot can happen in two months, things that your playoff analysis can't forsee.

:tu Seriously, it's like people who doubt the Spurs chances of repeating are hounded as this year's "T-Park's" and not considered "True fans" I can't stand that...it's just someone's opinion.

And I agree, Parker has not been looking that good since his mini-hit/sprain/whatever it was. The thing is, these recent games Spurs have been losing...they would have won earlier in the season when Parker was playing at a higher level. If you think about, we've had many games where Duncan and Ginobili haven't played their best against good teams, and we'd still managed to win them.

Tek_XX
04-08-2006, 02:45 PM
A good question is do the spurs have what it takes to win it all, the answer is yes. Will the Spurs win it all, not sure. And really the Spurs weren't playing that well when they went in last year. Duncan had foot problems but was contributing more than he is now. Basically if Duncan and Manu can't find their rythms than the Spurs may not even make the Finals.

Who is gonna beat them in the west Ex come on......

Dallas could. Not saying they're going to, but they could. These are NOT the Neliie-ball Mavs.

Even when Duncan was on Damp/Diop, he couldn't protect the basket. The PF has robbed him of the quicks/hops neccessary to be our "goalie". In addition, when he tries to go for the block, the reduced lift makes it neccessary to catch the ball ASAP, which means jumping towards the shooter, and he's getting more fouls called for body contact. We have two people who can protect the paint on this squad: Horry as a help defender, and Rasho. Nazr is fucking useless. Even Oberto, who isn't a shotblocker, seems to know where to be, and plays good positional defense.

I've actually been thinking this for a month, or so.

I think there is a BIG difference between those who recognize that this might not be our year, and those who disgustingly tear down and insult the players because deep down, they recognize the same thing, but can't deal with it in an adult, rational manner.

I just think that a weakend Spurs team can still compete. I don't think they are going to steamroll anyone, but I think they have by far the best chance at the rings of any team not in Michigan. If Duncan plays the way he was last week, then I think they have an easy road to the Finals. Manu had turned it on big time lately as well.

Seriously, last year was even more precarious with an injured Duncan throughout the playoffs. I'm not worried.

You're right, about one thing Manny. A weakened Spurs team will still be able to beat compete and beat out any team in the West 4 games out of 7...including Dallas. It wouldn't be easy, but I still think they could do it. I was thinking more about the Finals against a certain team from Michigan...they'd need to be really healthy for that.

I'm amazed at how many people seem to think the Nets will beat out Detroit in the East. To me, it's like saying the Suns will beat out the Spurs in the West. I just don't see it happening, despite their current (well not anymore actually) win streak.

Of course I will come back and eat my words if you guys (i.e Kori, Timvp, Jim, EHJ) turn out to be right, but I just can't see it. :)

I still think that Detroit comes out of the East too. But I think NJ would make it very hard for Detroit considering how well they played them this year. My assessment of Detroit-NJ has nothing to do with NJ's winning streak, but rather how they've played the Pistons in their 4 matchups this year.

Believe me, I'd LOVE to be proven wrong.

The two BIG series, regardless of HCA, will be the second round and the Finals. Both of those are very dangerous series. What I didn't like seeing last night from a VERY smart AJ was the amount of single coverage on Duncan. Detroit did the same thing. If Tim doesn't force the double teams, either series will go the distance and could be lost.

CharlieMac
04-08-2006, 10:28 PM
Of course they'll make it. We all know by now that it's a completely different atmosphere once the playoffs start. Now, I'll admit, I'm skeptical about them beating Detroit in 7 when Detroit gets HCA, but if they get to the Finals, i'll be happy.

Yes and Yes. Beating Detroit in another game 7, this time in Detroit. I have a feeling that the Spurs will face an elimination game in the second round down 3-2 to the Mavs and come back and take it 4-3.

mark it down



if they play like theyre playing now, getting the calls like they did vs dallas they will not

I know theres a 80% theyll get their shit together by the playoffs
since theyre not redhot now, i dont think a denver team plays so well against us in the playoffs, and a seattle doesnt win two almost 3 games (which is a plus)

with this
the spurs have a cakewalk to the nba finals

like i said i think the chances of a det-sa finals rematch are very very slim


1. the 20% chance of the spurs not making it (losing)
2. 20% chance duncan/parker/ginobili will be hurt (crucial injury losing)
3. 40% calls that shaq and miami will get in playoffs should mia face det (det gets beat dirty style)
4. 15% chance of det losing fair and square (making 3 straight finals trips is pretty dam hard)

so if you take the 5% and a det-sa finals is set
with homecourt in det, I can only give the spurs a %60 chance of winning


so statistically
i would have to put all my money on the spurs

for the fourth reign*

Any excuse for the coach to lay into the team is good. The Spurs should be pissed by the playoffs. They'll hit their stride against the Lakers and roll through everyone to the Finals. They have an advantage this year because the best team they will face is in the Finals so there won't be any let-up.

YES X 2!

And put me down as saying the Nets come out of the East, too. Detroit has shown recently that they are still capable of blowing a few mental gaskets. For the Spurs it hinges more on Manu as well as Tim.

I guess I keep thinking of the '95 Rockets. No one thought they would repeat......

'95 Rockets won 49 games, and had lost 5/6 to their chief rival. THIS Spurs team is going to win 63 - 64, have HCA and have split with the most severe threat. The "doubt" of that Rockets squad repeating was MUCH greater.

Maybe Pop should put a bunch of guys on IR at the end of the year so they can rest, just like Rudy T did.

I'm calling my shot. The 2nd year the Houston Rockets won a championship, they were fairly unimpressive, winning 47 games and losing 35 after being hit by the injury bug and trading Drexler for Thorpe and getting used to playing with the new pieces. They came up big (unfortunately for the Spurs in the WCF).

Spurs take home another Larry O.

I'm also impressed that kris started this thread. It's much better to call your shot than to be Monday-morning-quarterbacking-I knew-it-all-along-guy.

I appreciate the notice. I'll never be the Monday morning type. Last year, I was convinced the Spurs would lose to Phoenix and said so. The reverse happened, so maybe this year too. I hope so. It would be sad to see the Spurs knocked and somebody like Mark Cuban celebrating.

If I'm right, I'm right. If I'm wrong, I have no problems admitting it.

I don't care if I am wrong as long as I am with the Spurs. :)
