They've one two games in a row twice in 2018 and they had to hold their collective breathe against Denver at home in order to do it.

Before the season started I thought maintaining the 50-game win streak would be a reasonable goal for this team. Now I think the odds are slightly against our reaching 50 wins. Either way, the Spurs are going to get a draft pick that is a few picks higher than usual which isn't much. To win 48-49 games and lose the streak with this team under these circumstances would be incredibly and sadly ironic.

Ok - how does that change everything else. I’m not saying it’s been easy, but everything is relative. What does it matter if you win 2 in a row or 5 if you go 5-5 over a ten game sample?
By your logic only like 2-3 teams have done well which we know is silly.

Re: 46 wins, 7th seed, first round fodder, might as well get used to it
Unless you think the spurs with Gay and Kawhi beat GSW, this thread and 3rd!! are fucking idiotic and pointless We used to mock the mavs for regular season championships. Now spurs fans are gloating about third.
You mold a roster with a healthy Kawhi and refocused LMA to be a serious contender. Complaining about where the 2-8 seeds fall with a healthy Kawhi/Gay is just rearranging deck chairs on the titantic

Well, the Spurs are 10-11 since Dec. 30th. And they've had the second easiest schedule in the NBA (thanks Washington). That's struggling in my book. Point differential can be a little misleading when two of your wins are by 48 (Phoenix) and 39 (Chicago) points.

Golden State wins but have cultivated a questionable culture
Winning isn’t everything.

I only care about spurs, I dont give a fuck about the general mediocrity of the nba, I compare the spurs in terms of roster with the elite and not with the teams below, the front office can not continue to distribute "culture contracts", keeping players who can not play against the best teams in the league each season

LMA/Kawhi/Rudy all out against UTA. TP/Murray questionable.

Spurs fans have become a caricature of themselves.

And then you have a head coach that's more interested in moral victories than actual victories. Totally disgraceful! Two more games followed by 10 days off and he's resting players.

Minny down to the King early. Would be a massive loss for Minny and really helpful for SA if it holds.

We have teams that drop confetti for just getting to 50 wins. You know how rare that is?
What you're failing to understand is that this year would have been more like '96/'97. I don't know how old you are or if you were even around back then, but we all knew the next year that the Spurs would be good again.
Not making the playoffs this year doesn't mean were going to miss them 2-10 years in a row. As long as Kawhi is still on the team and comes back healthy next year, we'll be right back to being an outside title contender again, but with the added bonus of having a much better draft pick to add to that.
The other example I always think back to, that really pissed me off a few years after it happened, is when the Lakers missed the playoffs in one of Kobe's prime seasons and got Andrew Bynum out of it (who ended up being a key piece that helped them win two more Championships).
Who gives a fuck about the streak. TD isn't here anymore. All those records and streaks were his. If TD was still here, I'd want the streak to continue because I want people to see how great he was and all the hard work he put in, but now that he's gone, I don't care about the streak much at all. I look at it like the Lakers with a prime Kobe after Shaq left. The Spurs need more talent if they're going to be a serious title contender again, and the best way to get that is getting a higher pick than they would normally, possibly even a lottery pick as that would go a long way towards helping them get back to true title contention.

good take... and they never stop.
Not only that, some give up on young talent before they have enough time to fully develop and blossom.. like the Magic shipping off Oladipo more recently, among many other young players they have given up on... to recycle and stay right where they are at...
