Manu is finished?
Link?
Did he get hurt?
Right now they are playing like the 6th best team in the west, and with Manu being finished it looks like Spurs in 04 (TD being the 1 man team)
but no way the Spurs can win 4 straight series on the road

The doom and gloom is complete.
we're totaly over, throw in the towel and blow up the team. I cant believe they lost by 4 to the second best team in the league without they're all-star defender. they're pathetic.
if one of them is injured?
tim duncan better step up his game like in 03
It's going to be tough for any team to win 4 straight series on the road.
Yeah you're right. The Spurs should just give up. it.
Manu needs at least 2-3 weeks to recover, only way the Spurs win the le is if he plays like he did during the win streak PERIOD
I get really tired of your assumptions and convoluted logic PERIOD
Its possible the spurs can win 4 series on the road. The rockets did it in '95 against more experienced foes ala Stockton-Malones jazz, Barkley's suns, Robinson's spurs, Shaq-Penny magic. The whole entire west lacks playoff experience except for the mavs and the suns. I really don't think the spurs are as bad as previous defending champs that failed to repeat ala Pistons in '91 or lakers in '03. Those teams realy did age and it was clear throughout the whole entire year they were going down.
In the spurs case I think they have had a series of bad luck with injuries,suspensions,chemistry with the trade, fatigue. They just have to go into the playoffs healthy and not worry about the seeding. I think if they are well rested and healthy no team will want to play them in round 1. You better believe Duncan and co win or lose will give all the have in the tank. Its going to be for any team that has to play the spurs in the playoffs.
2 to 3 weeks?
Where are you pulling this out of ?
So does this mean we can finally move foward and start winning some games.
I hope so.
Full circle and all that.![]()
Ho hum. Spurs fans are so predictable. The Sixers are not going to keel over and play dead tonight. I can see the wailing on this forum tomorrow. I think I'll stay away.
Hmmm...let's see now...
1999 Finals: Spurs defeat Knicks in 5 games
2003 Finals: Spurs defeat Nets in 6 games
2005 Finals: Spurs defeat Pistons in 7 games
2007 Finals: Spurs defeat Cavaliers in 4 games
So...the Spurs are 4-0 in the Finals, winning in 4, 5, 6, and 7 games. They had HCA in all four. The only thing SA hasn't done is win the le without HCA...maybe this is the year they do that, too!![]()
Not only would they repeat, they would repeat on the road...
GO SPURS DYNASTY GO!!!![]()
Yes.You really think the Spurs can win the le without HC in the playoffs?
The jeffdrums panic thread.
We're definitely going to repeat now.
I'm more interested to see how the Spurs look in April, after this brutal schedule, with Manu able to get a little rest between games, and hopefully with a healthy Brent Barry back and signed with the team.
If the Spurs still suck, then you can write them off![]()
Where are you getting 4 road series in a row? Utah has the 4th seed, but that's only for matchups. The team with the better record or tiebreaker always gets home court advantage, regardless of seed. The LAC, as a #6 seed, had HCA over the #3 seed two years ago. Because of the rule changes that the 3 division winners only get into the top 4, instead of automatic top 3 spots, we may not see that again, but the 5 having HCA over the 4 is in play right now.
I can't imagine the trolls and threads there will be if we don't repeat.
I can really, just don't want to.
Why are you even having to imagine? It's happened 3 times before.
If the Giants can do it...
