Get another big (seriously, this has to happen, what if any of our bigs gets injured?), get Neal in there instead of Ford, work on Leonard's corner three and we might be there in june.
Yup, I made a thread about it last week, about the Spurs squandering an opportunity to take advantage of a weak West, by not acquiring a big man.
This is the weakest Western Conference in 10+ years IMO..Spurs can definitely win it, if Bonner and Blair aren't forced to play major roles..
Everyone is playing for second behind OKC.
Westbrick will be the undoing of OKC.
Which one?
Even with his mistakes they are still miles better than most of the teams in the West.
Bring Dice back out of retirement.
I agree that they do look scary.....but a good defensive team can still lock them down IMO. Memphis came close last year.
In other news, the Lakers look like 2005 Lakers right now.
I think they will grow a lot from what happened last year. They are like a more athletic Amare/Nash Suns with defense. Durant will be hungry to atone for the failures of last year and Perkins and Ibaka are going to close off the paint. The biggest x-factor is Hardin though, who is basically their version of Manu Ginobili coming off the bench.
The real story of this season may prove to be how well teams handle the B2B's and B2B2B's. There are going to be a lot of L's on second nights. It's nice having some young legs. It may not make the Spurs better than the other teams, but I think they would really be in trouble if they didn't have them.
a little too early to tell. however, spurs can match up against OKC pretty well. i think they swept the thunder last year. it's really the front lines of the lakers and grizzlies the spurs have to worry about. they might have enough to get to the finals if they avoid those two teams in the playoffs.
Bro last year Spurs OWNED Thunder 3-0....
this Is like the last lockout. Good teams are going to burn out leaving lots of upsets to happen. Houston and Utah were upset by youth
I don't know about all that miles better stuff, but they are better yeah. Time will tell though.
Too bad the spurs are not serious contenders.
Winning the first game of the season has injected so much false hope. The roster still has a weak frontline.
Spurs got the 3-0 record against OKC pre-Perkins trade. Spurs have yet to face the new look Thunder.
lol lay off the sauce, your a putz
Well find out but i dont think perkins will be that valuable of addition.
OKC is a tough kill, but RW is the big question mark. If he goes all Rondo and starts dishing, they could be unstoppable. Fortunately it's probably not going to happen and instead he wants to be DRose.
Splitter looked fantastic today.
Seeing energy and contributions from the youngsters right out of the gate gives me some confidence for this long grind of a season.
imo should just bring back dice, at least he knows the system and take some minutes from those heavy schedule games
allow leonard to play heavy minutes defending the stars of the game to get more experience defending those type of players which will come handy when playoffs come along...
This is from 48minutesof .com
"“I thought that Tiago was really good defensively, really solid,” San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said. “He stayed in good position, he blocked shots, he rebounded. He was real special tonight. He deserves a lot of credit.”

goodness, finally Coach Pop appreciated Tiago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Capitan Tiago rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not see how Perkins is a difference maker against the Spurs because he has no offense and the Spurs do not pound the rock inside that often anymore either. Spurs always played good against OKC because they were able to make Durant have a slightly below average game. Thats still 25 points or so, but bad shooting percentage etc.
