the #1 offense in the league is now #7 defense and raising

[Mel_13]

Why yes. The Lakers won back to back les while dealing with serious injuries. Even coasted by the Spurs in 2008 despite missing two starters.

Still trying to count the guy who started three games as a starter.

By what measure are you calling the Spurs the #1 offense and the #7 defense?

He's using offensive and defensive ratings, basically points per possession.

B-R rates the Spurs as 2nd and 8th:

Hollinger has them at 1st and 7th:

The Spurs are nothing but a gimmick until they beat a respectable basketball team in the playoffs. That hasn't happened since like 2005 as 2007 was gift wrapped by Stu Donaghy.

+1 Exactly

Win at least 2 playoff series before you all start sucking each others s.

They aren't much different than the 2007 Mavericks or 2005 Suns - Regular season warriors running and gunning playing perimeter basketball.

What makes Spurs fans delusion unique in this regard is that just because the Spurs won 'ships seemingly decades ago they think it correlates to the current season.

The more I think about it the more I love the fact that the Spurs have sprinted out to nice head start this season; how funny is it going to be to watch them lose in the 1st or 2nd round again? If they were struggling like last season it wouldn't be nearly as funny.

And yes, I am a prophet, hence the name history-2-b.

Spurs will drop to 3-5 in offense and move up to 3-5 in defense and will be fine entering the playoffs as a prediction.

the lakers have that beat. Since they haven't beat a respectable team that was not seriously injured since '05

'04 is all they can hang their hat on, since the 04 spurs are the only respectable team they beat. but with a bull shot and help from the refs.

before that? the Kings? Not really, they had to use your pal Stu Donaghy and a collection of refs to beat them.

If you really think about it, the Lakers havent beat a respectable healthy team without cheating since the 80s. That's 20+ years.

this is pretty much on point.

Delusional Disorder


Delusional disorder, previously called paranoid disorder, is a type of serious mental illness called a "psychosis" in which a person cannot tell what is real from what is imagined. The main feature of this disorder is the presence of delusions, which are unshakable beliefs in something untrue. People with delusional disorder experience non-bizarre delusions, which involve situations that could occur in real life, such as being followed, poisoned, deceived, conspired against, or loved from a distance. These delusions usually involve the misinterpretation of perceptions or experiences. In reality, however, the situations are either not true at all or highly exaggerated.People with delusional disorder often can continue to socialize and function normally, apart from the subject of their delusion, and generally do not behave in an obviously odd or bizarre manner. This is unlike people with other psychotic disorders, who also might have delusions as a symptom of their disorder. In some cases, however, people with delusional disorder might become so preoccupied with their delusions that their lives are disrupted.
