This is it.
This is the final road to the playoffs and we know that the Spurs usually start to elevate their game after the all-star break.
We knew that the windows were closing, and some of us think that they're already closed as far the season went into different directions than we expected.
After all I think honestly we'll make the playoffs.
But the goal is clearly to get Duncan and his pairs The Ring we're fighting for.
And the same for the others Big Teams.
Yeah because at the end it's all about either we could match up Dallas, Lakers and Cleveland.
1) Forget about trade.
I remember what Pop said one or two years ago, no matter what, we go with this team until death. And I think this is the case this year too, this is Spurs reasoning, they'll go with their weaknesses, and their strenghs until the end.
2) Then what are our weaknesses and what are our strenghs ?
Charles Barckley said few weeks ago before the RRT when the Spurs were still struggling, that this is the best second team in the West.
He may not watch all the games like us fans, but I understand what he wants to say.
The Spurs always had potential and they always have.
I won't put list of weakness and strengh in our game because you already know what they are.
But we know the time of adjustement is still in waiting mode.
It' still Febuary
3) How to match up against the Lakers and the Cavs ?
I think we should stop asking these questions always and always in our situation.
It's still far away and we don't know what could happen until the playoffs.
If somehow we could get a big defensive man that would be great but if not we must believe with our own legendary strengh: defense and heart.
4) Defense and Heart.
Those used to be our best asset to win Championship.
Now it's clear that we lost those mental aspect of the game but don't forget that Manu, Tony and Tim are real warriors.
And come playoff time, I expect them fo refind themselves.
Remember Tony last year he was a monster and we know that he's now nothing compared to this crucial period in mental aspect of his game.
Remember last year when we missed Manu so much , this year I'm confident he will play like a hero, like this is his last games as a spur.
What is missing right now is this solidarity and the mental stengh of the team.
Look Jefferson. This guy is fragile but I think if the spurs started the season something like 15-3 he might be a better player right now.
The rest is in Pop hands. This guy and the coaches should know all of this and they should believe too because sometimes this year it looked like they were completly lost.
This is the most important thing in a BB team, all begins by coach faith.
If players feel Pop is lost they'll play lost.
For that
Pop must stop his experiments and his strange reactions.
The rest will come naturally.
Believe.
