i think they depend on their o too much and will be exposed.
i feel they're going to do well in the playoffs but i still like my team's chances in the finals
it all depends on the health of Splitter
They will lose in the WC finals.
Was that before or after Buss hit the panic button and started chasing Melo? You've got the next Duncan playing center for you, but now you want to dump him. Isn't that interesting?
I'm hoping for a ring. I have a pretty good idea what the Spurs are capable of but don't know yet if the Lakers have really shown what they're truely capable of.
Boston will also be a tough series if the Spurs make it to the finals. If for some reason the Heat are waiting for them, I like our chances.
I voted ring, but tbh I see the Celts taking it this year.
This.
Sorry Laker fans, you need to face it. It would take a considerable turn around for the Lakers to beat the Spurs. Your team wasn't dominant last year, and thats not good considering they look like a s of last years team.
Anything other than reaching the Finals would be epic, epic failure
LOL Sounds like the Cavs fans of the past couple years in here ...I expect Lakers to take out Spurs in 6 tough games ...Celts are the faves unless Lebron reaches the last level "early" ...
read the thread again. No spursfan posted that the ring is guaranteed.
Nothing is guaranteed, but anyone who is not treating the Spurs as a threat at this point, is a fool.
The next Duncan? ummm no
Conference finals at a minimum with as good a shot at a ring as anyone who will be left at that point.
Never said that anyone did ...why are Spur fans here lately making assumptions on my posts? And my comments were not about this thread there are plenty of others ... fact remains Spur fans have reasons to be confident and hopeful about this playoffs because of HCA and the rate they are racking up wins.
Laker fans have reasons to also be y because we have proven we can win the last 3 seasons ...we shall see who is correct. I think the WCF can be epic on the court and on this site ...LOL
Oh, and this ...
Saddens me to say that I think the Spurs will lose in the Finals to the Celts. If they luck out and draw the Magic or Heat then I'd say :lobt
LOL and this ...though far from a garuntee you basically dismissed the Lakers and the Mavs ...but I dont blame you ...you guys are rollin' ...
But, unlike the Cavs, the Spurs know what it takes to win the ring.
I'm sorry your reading comprehension is lacking. How is this dismissing anyone???
all I am saying is if a team that was 43-8 midseason and top seed in the league at the end possibly winning 63-67 games, maybe even top 5 record in league history, and assembled with proven champs Pop, Duncan, Manu + Parker. if that team fails to make the Finals, it is an epic failure for that team.
again, reading comprehension.
Can't wait to see the board after whoever comes out of the the West. Talk about the parting of the red sea from the real fans and the bandwagon fans on here.
Spurs better watch out, their road to the Finals won't be easy. The three teams most likely to get the 8th seed are all formidable. Portland has been a problem for the Spurs in recent times, Memphis has a great starting 5 and has turned into a winning team, and Phoenix can still be deadly if they get on a roll.
It does bring up an interesting note however: In the past few years, teams that have done really well in the regular season have not fared as well in the post season. That seems to be a fairly new phenomena. Is that because teams today are more likely to push offense in transition than to set up a half court, grind it out game? Do other teams find ways in just a game or two to counter the offense of their opponents?
Strange these days. In the not so distant past, teams with the best record in the league were good defensive teams. These days it seems offensive teams take that role. Could officiating be playing a part? League rule changes that favor up tempo offense? Fewer real centers in the league?
The Spurs had the league best record in 05-06 and lost in the semi-finals. Teams have lost in the conference finals before with the best record (Boston comes to mind), but recently it seems more and more that teams blow through the regular season and hit roadblocks in the form of other teams in the playoffs.
What gives?
