Is Rascal a Spurs fan, or what?
Because it sure doesn't sound like it.
All I read from him is negativity.
I grant you, I am a "homer" and proud of it, I might add.
But at least I go up or down swinging with my team come win or lose.
Same here.

but will have another championship to show for it? Hill as a PG with all those pieces that the Nuggets got to the Spurs and we win the le this year
lol power outage
If you can honestly sit there and say the top tier teams (sa, dallas, la, boston,orlando, and miami) aren't balanced or match up well with each other than it's useless talking to you...you said of all the front court's Miami is the WEAKEST? The Spurs have the smallest of all of them and our best post player is avg 13 & 9....some of you homers think we still have the 27 year old duncan, have you noticed teams Don't double team him anymore?...just suck it up and come to reality....when the playoffs come around and only the best teams are left, Inside we are weak and it's gonna hurt us..I think I heard the Spurs give up like the 2nd most points in the paint...regardless, I know chemistry is great, but WE have it, Boston has it, LA has it, and Dallas now has it...get n real bruh

Duncan isn't going to magically start average 25/14 like the old days when the playoffs hit. This is going to be a harsh reality for a lot of Spurs fans
Yes right we all expect Tim Duncan to suddenly go 25/14. We all wake up when Tim Duncan doesn't do that
The Spurs are 47-10 without Duncan averaging 25/14 either. Have you've been watching the Spurs this year?
No one expects that. But we do expect him to step up his game from the regular season as he always seems to do. And he's had a good regular season. Good numbers in reduced minutes.
We also expect Manu to step his game up as well. Maybe he doesn't get on an offensive roll but just his intensity alone and his ability to make the play that makes the play will help us win games.
I think the bottom line is that even with the best record in the NBA, most of us here think the Spurs have another gear for the playoffs and have not played to their potential yet. Maybe I'm wrong but history suggests otherwise.
We're 47-10, or haven't you been keeping up with current events?
Go fellate a running chainsaw, loser.
I'm cool with Tim going 20 & 10 and the Spurs still winning. 13 & 9 with as little minutes as TD has played? Fellas, fellas, fellas....Tim's just laying in the weeds. He's been as efficient as he's ever been on a per minute basis and actually blocking more shots. He's sandbagging until it's time not to.
That whistling sound was the point of my post flying completely over your head.
But then again, I shouldn't be surprised, given the absolutely brilliant, logical, and intuitive reasoning you've displayed so far.
Just say you don't know what the balanced means okay
Get ing real.
the only big i wanted that was traded was perkins. but no way the celtics would trade him to the spurs. all trades would probably require giving up blair/anderson so no other trades for bigs would have made much sense.
on another note, i'm very sad the spurs didn't acquire battier.
spurs have 5 bigs, all with different skill sets... other teams' inability to stop our guards will be the end of them...
That comment was meant in sarcasm. Thabeet is a complete stiff, but the Rockets have been playing 6'6 Chuck Hayes at center. I would think if there was a better big available they could've done better than Thabeet.
it's the 5th best start in the NBA of all time, correct? That should make this team the 5th best team of all time.
What is the true expectation? Are the Spurs differerent enought from last year to be successful in the playoffs? The Spurs were pounded pretty heavily by the Suns last year and I don't think the Suns were that great of a team - not to mention if the Spurs would have had to face the lakers.
Jefferson is improved, Dice is playing better and Neal has been huge for the Spurs offense, but shooters go cold and old guys tire out and Jefferson is Jefferson.
Bottomline is that this argument has been made before and it has relevance given the Spurs playoff success over the past few years. The Spurs could have helped themselves out by trying to add some kind of depth to the front court for defensive purposes. A healthy big 3 is not enough these days and there is probably a 90% chance this is their last shot of being healthy at the same time. The FO owes it to them to give them every chance and I find it hard to believe that standing pat is doing that.
Finally two new guys Gregzilla and Basketball Power seeing it how it is going to turn out and not pounding the homer drum constently, and not getting fooled by the regular season record.
The problem is that all teams go back to 0-0 when the playoffs start.
Cross Bonner off the Big list. He plays small.
Cross Splitter off too. He will not be any type of difference maker.
That leaves the spurs with 3 playable bigs and two are PF, with one with his best years behind him, near retirement.
Duncan needs more help than that.
I dont know how anyone can be comfortable with that frontline going into the playoffs.
Just how comfortable do people need to feel? Invincible?
Like any team in the league we could stand to be stronger at every position, but half of this game amounts to working with what is available.
We didn't make trades because the overall price/performance ratio on this team is so obscene that we'd have to ship out more talent and strategic flexibility than we could reasonably expect to get back. Take tonight, where we got to watch one of the best PGs CURRENTLY beasting in the league get traded for the POTENTIAL of a young big. Even mediocre bigs aren't cheap, but anyway... that's all moot now that the deadline has passed.
I'd love it if we were able to incorporate some shed talent off waivers, but even then, the reality is that any players we did acquire (short of maybe Pryz) would not be of such talent as to ever displace our current line-up as much as to provide injury insurance and garbage minutes and frankly, we have Tiago for that.
All to say that this team --as any -- could be even more talented and deep, but as things stand there's plenty of evidence that we have a fighting chance even if we aren't able to improve enough to guarantee a ring.
