I think that the Spurs will be fortunate if they are in the opposite bracket from the Mavs in the playoffs and the Spurs can defend well enough to get to the WCFs.
about this 4 game win streak? I for one am not. They have been beating the sorry teams all year by barely hanging on in the fourth quarter, yeah they beat the Pistons but i think Detroit was already on all star break when the Spurs got them! When and if they can beat a top team in the west then maybe I will change my tune btu I just dont see it. What do yall think????

Yeah you are right the spurs just dont have the athletes that Dallas has
I think we should thank you for posting another useless thread.
Your welcome asshat
So what you are saying is that CaptMike wears an ass as a hat?
his hat is his ass or his ass is his hat either one fits.
I Find Your Lack of Faith Disturbing!
I hear the radio guys on the ticket getting excited about these wins but they havent beat a top team since november
But how is that physically possible?
i've seen it done.
If the playoffs started today, Dallas (1) would play either GS or NO/OKC (8). In the same bracket Utah (4) and Houston (5) would play each other. San Antonio would have to deal with the Lakers and then the winner of PHX v. Denver.
1. Dallas .833
2. Phoenix .759
3. San Antonio .673
4. Utah .660
5. Houston .642
6. LA Lakers .545
7. Denver .500
8. Golden State .473
8. N.O./OKC .473
That's about as good as you could hope as a Spur's fan. Houston and Dallas are the toughest match-ups, IMO.
The only way for Spurs as I see it is a injury hitting Dallas or Phx I wouldnt want it that way though would be like the 99 championship
Wtf?
wtf2?
However it shakes out, the most likely course through the Western Conference (and to the Championship since the Leastern conference won't put up a fight) ultimately goes through Dallas and Phoenix...so the first round matchup is essentially irrelevant.
On the topic at hand, the Spurs have issues that can be masked or overlooked over a few-game stretch, but I guarantee those weaknesses will be exposed in a prolonged series versus a top-echelon Western Conference playoff team. I am not excited about the win streak, nor do I think it means the team has "turned a corner".
Sadly enough, reality will hit hard come playoff time. I'm bracing now...
Well, I'm not unhappy about it...
I am happy they are winning as well,I just am not feeling that great about it.
I wished they would have gotten younger on the wing where our comp. has youth

Every series in a playoff bracket is important. Injuries and upsets happen. Case in point, Joe Johnson gets whacked going to the basket by Jerry Stackhouse and gets his face broken. The loss of a hot Joe Johnson didn't keep the Suns from beating Dallas but it allowed Bruce Bowen the luxury of focusing on Marion and the Spurs moved on to play Detroit. Stuff happens. Rounds 1 and 2 are not irrelevant.
what goes up must come down....spurs are going to lose the next game
See you're point and agree that injuries can play a role (as it might with D-Wade possibly undergoing season-ending surgery)...
But without relying on a hypothetical injury to a key player on one of the two teams I believe can beat the Spurs in a prolonged series (Dal/Phx), the Spurs will have their weaknesses exposed and stand little chance of winning....that was my point.
It doesn't matter if the Spurs get past round one or round two if they indeed have to face a healthy Phoenix or Dallas team, they are clearly the underdog...
I'm not sure how to explain this, but anyways. I have a strong sense Houston will upset Dallas in the 2nd round. It's real eiree. I see Dirk missing shots. The Tree will over-power The Dirt. I guess I'll call it then, Houston over Dallas in the 2nd Round.
Wins are always good....let's just see if they can string a few more together.
this feels kinda like when manu had his 48 points game vs phoenix in 05. If he turns the corner the spurs are a whole new team
