So, by this logic, where do the Spurs rank with a 4-0 record?
Its all fools gold right now... way to early in the season.
Going by the OP Spurs are world beaters right now and I doubt anyone down here would ever admit to that. Neither would I.
Spurs were not near slated to go to the WCF last year, infact many had them a middle to lower seed at the beginning of the season. Spurs were not supposed to win 50 games and get within two wins of the FINALS! Tell men anyone who thought they would? They were supposed to be done after Memphis and fall off bad, then had a of a run.

LOL all I said was true, funny this is all you can say to refute it. You have no real comeback....... Just call yourself OWNED.
Most people think Dallas is capable of making it to the WCF? Maybe most of the people in Dallas! Butthurt? Nah...
Dallas will be lucky to win a series.

Really? Where do you get this from?
I will respond with dumb now too, blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... One ring, blah.
personally, I thought they would struggle without Dirk... But Brand has always been somewhat underrated.
Their offense was never in doubt, tbh, even without Dirk..they are deep and they have an abundance of players that can get hot..
Their defense and rebounding will be the concern in the playoffs..Kaman doesn't play defense, nor rebound, and Dirk is old and has physical issues, he may not be able to contribute in ways outside of scoring, tbh..
Actually Harlem, Kaman is solid at defense and rebounding. The problem with his is offensively where he's horrendous with his shot selection and turnovers. He really kills a team's offense.
Concerning your example I don't think that this one should be highlighted just because of the fact that it was 7th seed vs. 2nd seed. I recall many Spurs fans on this board saying before that series that this is wide open and could go either way. There Spurs weren't a typical 7th seed by any means that season, they could have been easily the 4th seed or even higher. Same for the the Mavs back then, they could have been 4th seed or lower easily as well instead of being 2nd.
fixed
u ain't talkin of dolleac or piece of like scalabrine right? kaman plays solid D and rebounds well which's the reason he earns 10+ million a year. and i don't think he should be blamed for his team's offense going stagnant, at least he'll have a better clue then TC did as to how to pass the ball imho. plus kaman has the ability to go one-on-one at the low post, which will be a good addition to their offensive strategy, if not a regular choice. TC's scores came mainly from alley-oops and offensive rebounds, while doing little in the teams offensive tactics outside of acting like a wall.
the team will finish between 6th and possibly up to 2nd in the west depending on kaman's fitness. if he gains some of his 05-06 form back, where he could grab 10+ rebounds per game with ease, dallas would be a scary tbh
No
Where's my excuse? And what is my excuse? I'm not making an excuse. You're 100% wrong, buddy. Would I have rather Harden stayed? YES. Am I angry or upset that he didn't? NO. I concede that I don't know everything about running an NBA franchise. I concede that Presti was in a position and did what he thought was best. I also understand that James Harden possibly made the best long-term decision for himself. There's no excuses or anger. Just a simple failure for me to fully understand why Harden seemingly had such a big issue with the 1 hour deadline, given all I've said. I don't think Harden knew what he wanted. Ive said for months to my fellow fans that I felt perhaps he wanted to leave and be the big dog somewhere, out of KD and RW's shadow - understandable. Maybe his indecision and inability to be able to accept in 1 hour was indeed a blessing in disguise for him. When push comes to shove and you can't jump at the decision to stay in OKC for what amounted to $2M off the max per year, maybe that's the sign that you want out - again, understandable given his talent and what he could do as a franchise player.
Making it to the WCF doesn't always mean you're a contender. Kind of like when the Jazz made it that far in 07 and everyone knew SA was gonna pull their pants down
Double no.
Losing to the Bobcats.![]()
I think tonight gave us an answer. lol Darren Collison.
lol lakaluva
lol naruto
I agree with you there fully! I was getting at someone on here saying the Mavs always have had the Spurs number, which is not true. The rivalry goes back and forth and has for years.You are right there, but the Spurs last year were actually favored by some to win it all and favored over the OCK Thunder! Many thought they had a shot to win that series and go to the finals.
I'm not talking about San Antonio I'm talking about Dallas this year. Some of us saying that Dallas would make it to the WCF doesn't necessarily mean we think that they're contenders.
This. I wish people would stop calling every playoff team a contender. Then they qualify it later by saying "true contender" when it narrows past that "contender" who was bounced in the 1st round.
Well in that case you are correct.
Dirk needs to come back and be himself. Until then, we won't know whether they're for real or whatever.
No one expected the Mavs to do much last year (Defending Champs at the time)
Are the Mavs for real? 4-4
