The spurs are going to be .79 team after their win against MIL

Sadly the warriors are just on another level. Any other year and its hard to be concerned...

Respect to GSW. Their 19-0 Record makes it look like there is no hope. Legendary team.

Agree that a lot of freaking out after losses and close wins is because of comparing team to GSW. Spurs just have to be better than the other 13 west teams (and preferably the Cavs) and pray to god they can pull at least one off in Oakland. Other than that, keep guys fresh and healthy and figure out which lineups work.

December just dawned. I'll worry when it's the postseason.

19-0 is impressive, but I still wanna see them beat us 4 out of 7.

This whole... im not worried its november, im not worried its january, im not worried its march, im not worried until the playoffs sounds a hell of a lot like last year.

yep .. 99% here always talked how we never would lose to the Clips in a playoff series ... now its 80% people saying we can beat the Warriors ... of course we can, but its not gonna happen :downspin:

Offense is a fair bit different to last year will take time. D is awesome and we match up well with gs.

19-0 is impressive yes. Remember a few years back the Spurs won 20 straight (10 regular season games then the first 10 playoff games) then lost 4 straight in the conference finals and boom, their season was over. Any run this long is impressive but it happens nearly every year. It ain't over til the fat lady sings. It's impressive indeed, but ony getting so much hype as its the start of the season which draws comparisons and the inevitable question, can they surpass the Bulls record of 72-10? Who cares if they do. Let's hope we make it and meet them in the WCF where anything can happen.

As long as you can suck Kawhi's johnson at the end of the day.....

its worse when you live in the bay area, the unstoppable warrrioorrs and bandwagon fans.

The Warriors are juggernauts right now, but it's often not so good to peak too early. Let's see if they can sustain it.

Re: the Spurs the main issue is that the schedule is very easy so far, and we have lost pretty much every game that was contested. This tells me something is not sound, despite the great record. But in terms of regular season a win is a win and it's good to rack up as many of them as possible early.

At this point, fans should focus on their teams and forget about GSW... they are on a different planet right now, if they sustain it, we all play for second place

Let's not forget the drop off of a lot of the better teams out west. GSW haven't really played anyone. Not that we have any excuse to lose to the pels or wiz but we're also not hell bent on winning the reg season like they are.

Spurs were only a Parker 3 from tying it up. Too bad he missed.

Nah, if the Spurs have to play both OKC and GSW they will lose the West. The only hope seems to be that OKC gets some injuries and/or slips for awhile and ends up the #4 seed.

Yup, need OKC to fall to the four ... or injuries for GSW/OKC. Don't wish injuries on anybody, so instead pray that one of these other teams in the West gets its s*** together.

If you mean the Spurs when you say GSW haven't really played anyone you're correct, because at the moment they got wins over:
-Memphis, twice, by 50 and 16pts
-Clippers by 4 and 7pts
-NOLA, twice, by 16 and 14pts
-Houston by 20pts
-Chicago by 12pts

This take is about as optimistic as I am about your future with that degree.

yeah, I'd much rather play the Rockets or Clippers and round 2, besides GSW/OKC would be exciting as hell as a 1-4 matchup and one would have to lose (likely OKC).

I'm looking at working for IBM in Massachusetts next spring for ~$90k. Too bad I missed most of the Brady era and I'm going to be stuck supporting a mediocre iteration of the Celtics.

Nice thread, OP..just hope for a Warriors injury, tbh, I've never seen anything like them..even as a Spurs fan, it's a pleasure to watch Curry and Draymond Green..
