Haters are gonna hate.... It's what they do.
They will never be happy.
Im predicting a 2005 Tpark-like Meltdown from at least 10 posters this year.
This horrible horrible ghastly Spurs team is 3rd in the Western Conference even after dealing with injuries to two of our stars. They're drubbing bad teams and need to find a way to beat the great teams.
You know what? We're 20-11. On pace to blow past 50 wins again.
I'll take it.
If this team can just gel a little more and play consistently, we could make a run at 60 wins this year.

I can't wait until the stretch where they play Dal/la/okc. Spurs need to take care of business against TOR/DET, but I want the big bois.
Spurs gotta go at least 2 for 3 in that stretch, but I'm hoping they go 3 for 3 and finally solidify ourselves as legit contenders
I will be happy even if Spurs can only beat one of Mavs or Lakers.

Beat who's on the schedule. Don't give a who it is.
+1
I would rather be 64-18 at the end of the year with all 18 losses coming to teams over .500 than 59-23 with a decent record against +.500 teams.
The Spurs have shown definite improvement w/c can't be denied. Pop's method is beginning to show results but there is lots of room (and time) to get better, Hopefully the team peaks at the right time and not too early.. and pray that no major injuries arise.
Wait, are you counting Matt Bonner as a "star"?
lol
Maybe loosing is just a thing a thing we need to get rid of bandwagoners...
We do pretty well, it seems things are working out how they should. Parker started with distributing the ball more and then he said he was going to his old self, being more offensive, that lasted only a game or two, but now it seems he has taken the role of distributing again.
But well, a win is all that matters.
Go Spurs!
the D is now 9th in the NBA, so there has been some serious improvements..still a lot of work to do though, especially when it comes to the P&R defense..
the record is nice and the team has weathered the storm, but there's still a long way to go..that record vs. .500 teams HAS to go up..I expect it to go up with Parker and Ginobili improving, but I will be concerned if they lose to both Dallas and LA in convincing fashion..
I don't see us being "after the bandwagoners" until Tim leaves, the team tanks, and they go on to some other team to complain about everything not being perfect. They're just a bit quiet now, and believe me, it's eating at them like battery acid that the Spurs are winning and they can't complain.
The only team that matters is the Lakers. Can't beat them consistently then forget about a le this year.
No, a bad record against the top teams is indicative of a team that is not good enough to win a championship.
Exactly. We need to be able to beat the teams in the playoffs. Damn a good seed, that will only prolong the inevitable matchups that must come.
Honestly, I don't see the Spurs beating the Lakers yet. They are playing well, yes, but Parker is still looking a little slow and he is the one thing we have on the Lakers. Fisher cannot play D for crap, no one on that team can stop TP. So, if TP comes out on fire, aggressive, and is making mince meat of Fisher/Farmar/Brown, then we have a good shot. However, I will be happy even if they lose but play with intensity and aggressiveness for the whole 48 minutes because the Lakers are the best team in the league.
Teams do step it up on the playoffs and records are not worth anything then. For an example of this check the Mavs when they had the number one seed against the 8th seeded Warriors.
just don't be all surprised when a tougher schedule translates to more losses and causes Manu and TP to struggle
what a lame bandwagon thread, thinking that beating a bunch of ty teams actually means something going forward
You realize that the Spurs' losses to "good teams" have all been very, very close? And this is with them playing like crap. They lost to Utah and Portland twice, not really teams I'd consider to be cream of the crop, and that accounts for over a third of their total losses. Other than them you have the losses against Denver and Boston, which we were right there and gave away with turnovers, then the losses to OKC/Phoenix (again, not great teams), and a loss to Dallas after we already beat them short handed.just don't be all surprised when a tougher schedule translates to more losses and causes Manu and TP to struggle

I think people are looking at our record against .500+ teams and scoffing, but, when you really look at it, a lot of those losses, minus Dallas/Denver/Boston, came against mediocre teams anyway, and the Denver/Boston games were really close.
The Spurs have yet to play to their potential yet and I think they've done okay so far, all things considered. Remember, oh pessimistic whiny Spur fan, that these are all NBA teams and they all have talent. A win is a win, and these wins against the crap teams are helping the guys get in shape and boost their confidence so they can kick some .500+ ass.
10-3 with Mike Finley out.
5-1 with Matt Bonner out.
Way to make adjustments Pop.
Way to celebrate those adjustments, PopApologists.
+1 Good observation Leetonidas. Here's a thread to illustrate the point.just don't be all surprised when a tougher schedule translates to more losses and causes Manu and TP to struggle

The season is the season and always has been. My major comcern now is how Pop expects to defeat the size of the Lakers with small ball.
