    They start really ty in the standings and have either a ty record or a somewhat above .500 record. When January or February comes around, the Spurs start winning games all the time and eventually wind up in 1st or 2nd place in the conference and 1st place in the division. I hate this. As a Mavs' fan you can never buy into a Spurs' ty start. You have to realize that the Spurs are not going to suck ass the whole season unless Duncan is out for the year and they're tanking to get a good draft pick. The Mavs need to stop ing up and win like 10 games in a row because the Spurs are not going to be ty anymore this season. Sorry, I had to vent.

    Well vented! lol, but really, its not the end for you guys! yea, the Spurs are slow starters, i would like them to be more consistent throughout the season, but if they Turn it up during the right times, i'd take that too!

    Last year, they were iffy in the Second part of the season, they played good, but they needed to play great!! This year, hopefully their continue success as of late will carry on to the playoffs!! and beyond!! P.S. Dallas passed up on Blair too! oh and you got a player (S.Marion) that has one of the worst looking shots ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The ONLY thing thing the Spurs care about in the regular season is to win 50 games which guarantees they're in the playoffs... and obviously improve their game in the process.
    The whole 72 win ecstasy is really meaningless if you're not at your best come playoff time...

    And every season, veterans of Spurstalk band together and try to talk cliffjumpers off the ledge.

    It hardly ever works and we're overwhelmed by, "ALL IS LOST" and a bunch of whining QQ coming from young people or those with impossibly short memories.

    This team still has work to do. They need a more consistent defensive effort through 4 quarters, and they need to stop going on massive scoring droughts.

    I'd also like to see the team stop falling in love with the J when it's dropping. Last night we got hot from 15-20 feet out and stopped driving.

    The stone hasn't cracked yet. A lot more striking is called for.

    We have an extrememly tough schedule the second half of the season. We will probably be playing better, but I am not sure if we can rack up enough wins to be second or third in the conference.

    As if KG's knee is holding up any better...

    I would imagine that the SW division will be the race to watch in the West. Both teams have had some success in winning the division, but the Spurs probably are tougher mentally than the Mavs. It's going to be a good race though--may the more deserving team win it.

    Doesn't matter. As long as we're healthy, we always have a shot. I think the Mavs and Denver will still end up with better records than us. Pop already said he is sitting out TD in most b2b's, so I wouldn't be surprised if we end up 5th or 6th in the division.

    Unlike other years, I don't think the Spurs are playing better after a slow start. I think they're about the same as where they started with RJ still not effective and Bogans won't be Bowen.

    They're going up in the rankings because the other teams are playing worse right now.

    To me, this Spurs team is still not good and playing well below their potential considering they have 4 of the top 50 players in the NBA and two of the better rookies in the last 2 drafts.

    I have watched every single game this season and Spurs have improved immensely since start of the season.

    Spurs and Cavs are hottest teams in the league. Are you gonna say Cavs have not improve since start of the season?

    The Cavs have improved quite a bit.

    I don't think the Spurs have improved much since the start of the season. RJ/Manu are still mostly non-factors. And without improvements in RJ/Manu, I don't think the Spurs are a good team (ie. championship team). They still got waxed by the Mavs just a couple of days ago in San Antonio. That's the team that showed up in the Playoffs and lost 4-1 last year.

    I think an analogy for he Spurs would be like the Spurs/Lakers game. They beat the Lakers by 20 points but the game was much closer than the score indicated.

    spurs are improving. definitely have not reached their full potential though. jefferson needs to play better defense but his offense is coming along. he's consistently pouring in 12-14 points of help. some chemistry issues still linger, pop still needs to carve out a role for blair, and finley and bonner have yet to come back (more 3 pt shooting in offense) but the only scary part is that the spurs can only get better (barring injuries). key is for them to step up defensively while not relinquishing their high powered offense.

    manu may not be scoring much but he is definitely NOT a non factor. he is the glue holding everything together.

    He is indeed a glue guy.

    But I think the Spurs need alot more from Manu to be a championship contender.

    I think we are seeing 50% Manu compared to 2007 Manu.

    I agree Spurs are still not there. But saying they haven't improved a lot is a pretty ignorant statement.


    BTW, I have been watching the Lakers and the lack of depth is gonna hurt them bigtime.

    The favorites to win it all as of right now IMO:
    1. Celtics
    2. Cavs
    3. Lakers/Spurs/Nuggets/Magic all on same level at this point

    It depends on how you define improved.

    Have the Spurs improved as a team? Yes.

    Have the Spurs improved as a championship team? No. The Big 3 has become the Big 1 and a half. They aren't going anywhere without Manu and RJ.

    As for the Lakers, I agree that they suck right now; but I'm sure they'll get back to the top of things.

    Usually read your posts cuz you have great opinion, but you're misguided here man. The boxscore won't show it, but Manu has made all the right plays this year, he's playing great ball. Just going through a shooting slump is all, but his playmaking ability, intangibles and effort on both ends of the court are all off the charts right now.
