Game 7 versus Dallas, Game 1 versus Portland, and now the first half of Game 2. I've never seen them play this good, ever. I've seen them play amazing, lights out. But in the past three games, every player is in freaking God mode. Unbelievable.

Spurs swept through 2 rounds and went up 2-0 vs. OKC. that was a pretty good stretch too, then they got backdoored.
this means nothing

This I exactly what popped to mind when I read the title.Quote:

2005, that was the best Spurs team top to bottom there shall ever be.
Not even close. Games 3 & 4 vs Portland in the 99 WCF is the best I have ever seen the Spurs play.
On paper, but Duncan was on two bad ankles, which is why Detroit almost won the Finals.Quote:

They're clicking for sure, but Portland is gawd awful defensively and the Spurs bench has been fueled by some home cooking. I expect them to come back down to earth in game 3.
As compared to recent years, I think the 10 game run in 2012 was more impressive tbqh. They looked unstoppable.
I thought about 2012 too, so way too early to say anything. But, the difference is now Kawhi is mature and much more of a factor, that makes this team different. However, with some dumb turnovers tonight, sad thing is this team can play better.
Shit, defensively, theres maybe only one or two teams who could even attempt being on par with the 99 spurs at their best..Quote:

I've heard this tune in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Bonner was still in the rotation back then.Quote:

Giving up 97 points isn't going to get it done defensively in Portland.
I thought the same thing. Spurs are better on D now than they were that year and rely less on threes though, but still you are correct.Quote:

Would the 2003-2007 Spurs teams own the NBA today? Take away stupid bullcrap 0.4 and Manu's foul, 5 straight championships with Duncan winning 4 FMVP's.
Both teams played hard...
