Contenders for mediocrity, sure. For the trophy... God no.

If RJ improved
Splitter, Anderson fit in well
Hill, Blair keep improving
TP back in shape
Why not
No not really...
Hah..what do you know..you became a Heat fan..what..140 posts ago? Why would your opinion even count?
ok, this will sum it up. #5! goSPURSgo!
sup bump
This subject is sad.
What I mean is, with the team they have against teams from your average NBA season, yes, the probably are contenders.
But unfortunately, the Lakers and the Heat (I know I know they haven't played a game yet) are two of the best teams in modern NBA history, at the same time, basically telling every other team in the league to off and not even try.
It will be the first time for me this season to watch the Spurs when they're on national TV, every single one I can, and believe throughout the whole time that they have very small chances to win it all.
So, I applaud Lebron, Wade, and Bosh, wish them luck as I'm a fan of Lebron and Wade, but at the same time want to tell them off in return to what they are implicitly telling me and millions of others.
all i have to say is : "DEFINITELY"
Wrong. My response is the only acceptable one. Just admit it. The Lakers or the Heat will win it all. Or even maybe the Celtics, but not the Spurs. It's actually fact, and it's already being put into the June 2011 papers.
^True. Barring injury it really just comes down to the Heat, Magic, or Lakers
No ing way.
Of course they are!.. Can't say the same for the Mavs though... They won't ever win .
Agreed.
The Magic are the most overrated team of the past 2 years. They are a good team, they are not NBA championship good. I think if the Spurs played Magic last year in the playoffs, cakewalk compared to Mavs series. Or not necessarily, but certainly Spurs would have won in a 7 game series.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LL YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even though this thread had nothing to do with the Mavs we gotta throw them in there somewhere right? I mean we have four rings how many do the Mavs haave...........
THATS RIGHT.....0 () the Chokericks (get it?
Not really. I would be content with a season that goes to the semis right now.
They are a long shot for sure, but they belong in the discussion. I believe that there are 5 teams that are capable of winning a championship . . . the Spurs are one of them.
you know if NEAL/J.ANDERSON/SPLITTER had your mentality or determination of course we would lose!!! either your not a real spurs fan or your part of the pessimistic grouch fans which is horrible.
i do admit that L.A has the upperhand however we are fully capable of beating them and they know it, last year we beat them badly so bad kobe faked an injury because he was destroyed by hill. what we needed last year was a young bad ass big to help defend LA's bigs and we had nothing of the sort and were still capable of beating l.a when our best scorer was out of the game!!!! oh and you act like theres no way in we can compete w/them?????
the last game tiago played against lamar proved we are going to give anybody especially the lakers because lamar was the one of two guys the spurs have no answer for, tiago pretty much made him his bottom THATS A FACT!!! Remember tiago doesnt play like a chick cough (gasol) cough* timmy and tiago will def play with heart and tiago doesnt get pushed around this was our MAIN problem with L.A. and with timmy not having to play powerforward and center at the same time expect tim to have alot of strength out there. parkers back at full strength!!
our second unit of dejuan blair antonio mcdyess george hill NEAL and our big 12 player of the year J anderson are going to tear L.A's bench a new asshole the problem was chemistry and mason/bogans/finley sucked ass on all levels. dejuans second year should be amazing this guy pulls 20/20 games boys so when i say definitely i mean that because its not just our starting five think about L.A maintaining their leads/kobes new knee surgery (3rd one by the way at 32yrs old) L.A relies on kobe too much and we honestly have a deadly team this year and i see alot of our players hungry and we have alot of leaders who are mentally strong unlike L.A ala barnes/blake whose been w/nuggets/bucks/wiz/blazers/clips and now l.a oh but now hes the amazing steve blake haha matt barnes is a true scrub who shoots like shawn marion i honestly cant wait to see our team beat the out of L.A you watch
If we are talking the perfect storm of the Spurs being completely healthy and actually making their shots count..... and the perfect matchups during the playoffs.... and injuries to key players from the Lakers and the Heat.... then yes.... They are contenders in that aspect.
If Kobe shows the pattern of decline he did in this last years playoffs, and Gasol is injured, we could possibly take them in 7 games. If we made it to the finals, we would be stomped by the Heat baring some miracle games from our big 3.
We resigned Matt Bonner. That's where the season ends.
On a serious note, sure the Spurs can beat the Lakers on a given day, but all things equal I think they still are stronger. And in a 7 game series, Kobe will do work. He hates losing as much as Manu, and unfortunately he's better. And sure Kobe could be injured or with nagging injuries, theoretically, but are you forgetting how old and injury prone our two best players are?
I agree, anything can happen, but on paper, the Spurs won't win it. That statement does not take into account that any series of things can be different...such as Kobe being injured, or an enormous meteor colliding into Miami and ending Lebron and Wades lives.
I'll go out on a limb and say we get to 53 wins. But that's pushing it I think. And in the playoffs, if we draw the Lakers early, maybe we have a chance but most likely we will be a mid level seed and they will be #1 so they will have HCA anyway. We've seen this movie already.
But I'll still get my popcorn ready :]
I'll stake my claim on a 56 win season.... last year we got off to a rocky start with Parker being injured, Manu shaking off the cobwebs early on during the rocky start, Timmy having to carry the load early on wearing him down and RJ sucking it up.
This year I think will be better. Parker is coming back off of a restful summer (for once). RJ and Blair have a year under their belt in the system. GH3 I expect to improve further. Manu will be Manu. Tim wont have to carry as much of the load like he did at the begining of last season.
I think this will be a more productive season than the last one.... Near the end of last season the team was really clicking. We faced one of (if not the) toughest schedule of any team the last few weeks before the playoffs and we did pretty damn well (thanks to super Manu).
Having said that, even if we make it to the playoffs relatively unscathed, I still dont see this team advancing past the WCF. Time will tell though.
Im hoping to see Splitter contribute this year, Im expecting an upgraded version of Oberto and I will be happy with that.
Yes.
