Spurs: Quintessential Spurs basketball. Living and dying by the 3. Not impressed

[Killakobe81]

I hear you, and the Spurs have flamed out the past two playoffs. No denying that.

I'm actually more worried about the Clips (fantastic bench) than the Grizz tbh (Rudy Gay taking away shots from Gasol/Rudolph? Yes please)

Real talk Clips do impress me. And I wouldnt mind seeing baby brother get a le ...but they are the Clips they will mess it up somehow just wait and watch ...

Can you imagine the WCF actually featuring VDN and Scott Brooks.

Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ.

But that is why I would lay $ on Spurs over Clips if Spurs are at least as good as last year I donts ee how Crawford overrides how badly Pop would outcoach VDN ...plus Duncan looks wayyy better than last year. Sure you guys cant run with Griffin and DeAndre but in teh half-court I take tim 1 on 1 vs. Either guy I bet Timmy has Jordan "in the pocorn machine" (RIP Chick) all series long. I would be rooting CLips but woudl pay to see duncan get either guy 1 on 1 onthe block.

Oh and Im guessing Barnes gets tossed out of at least 1 game, for sure. Sjax will make sure it happens.

Has the bar been lowered? I thought you were my brother, El and better that that. Dont debase yourself by finding moral victories in WCF trips. Shoot, I barely acknowledge trips to the FINALS. Spur fan should in the Duncan era at least consider themselves elite and le or bust. Not saying dont enjoy the ride but regular season les and making it to the WCFis solace for fans of teams like the Suns, Clips or Nuggs heck even the Thunder should celebrate last year. But Spur fan in the Duncan era? ... tsk, tsk.

And before we get on the Lakers ask El or DPG I have been saying we were not legit contenders last year (2 seasons ago) and said WCF is the ceiling for this current team ...for me that = non-contender status.

No moral victories here. The reality for Spursfan is that Duncan and Manu got old, and there's no escaping Father Time.

If anything, the admission that we can't beat younger talent in the Heat and OKC means the Spurs ceiling is WCF. They achieved that ceiling last season, so that's what we can call a good season.

In the West the only team that got better was the Clippers. I think they have a good shot to give the Spurs a good battle.

Fat Necks
Silver &
Manure

Well played sir.

The Lakers lost to Dirk-less Mavs

spurs lack depth in the paint n their current D ain't nothing close to what they had during those championship years, which in the end will turn out to be costly come playoffs. spurs are similar to the 05' suns with conference finals as the ceiling imho

Our bench took the Heat starters to the last 22 seconds of the game before falling by 5.

Lol "San Antonio Suns."

Nothing but a fool's gold win against a scrub team. Meanwhile, my Lakers are surging, crushing some of the hottest teams in the league with gritty, playoff style basketball.

I ask you this, fat necks, what's going to happen to your beloved Silver and when the threes stop falling and they're forced to score in the paint? Jim can't play in the post anymore, Manure is too scared to drive, and the Frog is nothing but a midrange shooter these days.

Championships are won in the paint and with defense, and the Spurs are deficient in both areas, unlike my Lakers.

Anyhow, nice 2 game "winning streak."

We sitting on 4 straight

Nash and Pau are back and haven't missed a step. And the really scary thing is, we've finally "figured it out."

J.H.U.T.T.

Let's see championships are won in the paint and on defense. Hmmm Spurs are 4th in points scored in the paint behind Denver, Clippers and Houston. Lakers are 16th.

Nice 4 game win streak gets you up .500. Guess you will be bragging when you get above .500 as making the Lakers the greatest team in the league.

I guess if the Spurs cant get to the finals with their 3 point shooting, maybe they can get the on points in the paint combined with good 3 point shooting.

Also, Spurs shoot a higher percentage than the Lakers and hold their opponent to a lower percentage.

Spurs shoot a higher % on 3's than the Lakers and hold their opponent to lower 3 point % than the Lakers.

And I guess the most important stat of all. The Spurs have 7 more wins than the Lakers.

21_ ings you need to change that name to 22_ ings.
