Probably the latter. WCSF or WCF is probably our ceiling.
I know this is a Spurs forum but to the uninformed, with tonights OKC loss the Spurs are now the # 1 team in the league. They won 17 out of 20 without Kawhi Leonard and Jackson out in some stretches. # 4 in defensive efficiency and owner of the best home record.
Championship this time or another fail year?
Probably the latter. WCSF or WCF is probably our ceiling.
not a bad passive-aggressive thread from Danny Manning's No. 1 fan tbh.
Biggest obstacle, Clippers, OKC, Memphis or Miami?
thread le.....thought it was about parker, if u know what i mean...
They're all obstacles. If I had to rank them from 'biggest' to 'smallest' obstacle, it's probably something like Miami > OKC > Clippers = Memphis
They will be out in the WCF again. It's nice to still be winning though. Thought they would be lottery bound for sure by this time.
you probably have better odds since you're a fan of Lakers and Clippers. but I still have faith in dem Spurs.
We play a beautiful, pure type of basketball and I think if providence can shine our way, we have as good of a chance as anyone. of course if we also need a few jews in NY to give us a chance as well. But I think it's definitely possible.
Thunder, Heat, Clippers, Grizzlies, in that order.
Even though I still think the Heat are better than the Thunder, with Duncan's resurgence and Splitter finally playing a role commensurate with his production, combined with the Heat's relative weakness at PG, the Spurs would have some major advantages over them. Also, as has been well do ented by now, the Thunder are more reliant on officiating than any team since the O'Neal led Lakers.
I think OKC > Miami > Memphis > Clippers.
Memphis is still a worse match up for us than the Clips, and I think we match up better with Miami than OKC.
Agreed though, all tough obstacles. Spurs are definitely outsiders.
that 3 man team in grey is very dangerous then that assembled cheat team south beach
TDMVPDPOY with the goods
life will be tough for them spurs come playoffs imho. spurs have the best regular season records in the west and i don't have no doubt they will qualify for the 2nd round with ease since none of the 6-8th teams would pose any serious threat to them in the first round, but there will be little chance for them spurs to get through teams such as OKC, clippers and even memphis maybe, who all expertise in monkeyball which often makes spurs suffer the most.
Sounds like last season, poised to win the regular season championship.
Spurs fans are modest. I respect that.
Just no, Memphis have nothing for us this season.
Clips is a very very dangerous team, their bench can match ours, their defense is good, monkeyballers are monkeyballing better this season...
I don't see how Western Conference Finals is a "ceiling." Especially in the West, if you're good enough to make it there you're good enough to win there. Doesn't mean it'll happen, but it means it could reasonably go either way.
Ya we've had no problems with memphis for a while now lol I'd be nice to let one of the clipshow/okc take the other one out for us tbh... first seed very important
I haven't been confident in the Spurs winning a le since 2007, but I'm starting to believe this year's team has a good shot at the le, tbh..Duncan's resurgence + Splitter's emergence + OKC losing Harden gives the Spurs a very realistic shot at the Finals..
spurs were an elite rebounding team in their championship years, especially their defensive rebounding but the current team ain't nowhere close. in fact they will struggle alot combating those monkeyball teams, and even if they manage to wriggle out of the west somehow they'll have to face miami in the finals whom they have no chance to get through. i predict spurs will get eliminated in the 2nd round or WCF depending on what teams they're gonna play
Spurs have a chance this year, but tbh i see them having an even better chance NEXT year. With the main reasons being, more growth from Kawhi, and a possible offseason signing *cough* Al jefferson *cough* chris Kaman *cough* David West *cough*
If the Spurs get the #1 seed they'll get to the WCF, but they aren't beating OKC. If by some miracle the Thunderefs are knocked out before then the Spurs can win the West. Heat/Spurs Final would be an amazing series, but I'd still think the Heat would be the heavy favorite.
I love the Spurs but you just don't win with a bench ... You can not rely on Kawhi or Danny Greeen in the playoffs you need a beats starting 5 and outside of TP9 and Timmy no one is really special
