"Stern hates us for not giving us every food stamp!"
Once Pop and Tim retire, the Spurs will hire Mike Brown and really hit rock bottom... then hire some hyped up coach and post a sub .500 record while being irrelevant...
Not really looking forward to those days, tbh...
Isn't Budenholzer expected to take over once Pop retires? If not, he needs to get his ass down to Lob City and replace Vnny D
We'll be irrelevant, but I figured we'll be irrelevant under Budenholzer. Why would we hire Mike Brown or anyone else?
damn, El Nono with the downer bads tbh. I think it will be bad but not that bad. I think you're letting your fear of losing Manu get the best of you scrah.
I think as long as Peter Holt is our owner, we will be alright. It really begins with a decent to great owner. I'm starting to warm up to Coach Bud. He won't be a Pop, but he actually seems more competent than Scottie Brooks or Spoelstra. I do hope we get the best coach we can, and I agree that things won't be the same without Pop or Duncan.
The last 2 years says Hi. This team is so damn predictable..... blowing their wad in February and getting bounced in the semis
damn, nobody picked up on my thinly veiled troll attempt... let's try with some bolding...
Pretty pathetic attempt at a burn tbh
The team that can play their starters the longer has a better chance, that’s sounds a little obvious but that’s what I think.
That’s the reason I think MIA and OKC are the toughest teams.
I don’t know if the Spurs can win against a team like MIA when they Lebron can play 48 minutes every night.
The bench is only valuable if they can outscore the other bench (DOH!), the things is: How many minutes will Lebron/Wade/Bosh rest. I they don’t rest, they can beat any bench. So that’s my concern. It’s not enough to be tied by the end of the 1st quarter, if Miami's big 3 starts the second.
Off course I could be completely wrong!
son Jim Buss is James Dolan 2.0, I suspect he manages to give a high-scoring non all star like Rudy Gay a max contract and tries to pigeonhole him into D'Antoni's gimmick offense
Stern and his crew.
If Blake keeps playing at the dominant level he's played at lately for the rest of the year (near triple-doubles every night, extremely efficient, showing off his solid passing skills), it has to be the Clippers.... and I'm not just saying that as a Clippers fan, it's just that outside of Duncan, the Spurs' bigs rotation is pretty thin, and Blake could expose that far more than Ibaka (who always settles for pussy jump shots against the Spurs) or P
Let's see... Nobody on any of those teams can defend Parker except for Conley and Paul, but even then.. Parker is Parker, and he does what he does. Lebron & Durant are going to score, and do what they do.. but Kawhi will at least make it difficult, especially if Lebron decides to play the passing lanes as per usual, and Westbrook will help Kawhi defend Durant. If Duncan continues his resurgent season, and Splitter continues to grow on the starting line-up, the only other front-court the Spurs will have trouble with is Gasol and Randolph, but who knows if Randolph even stays in Memphis? Blake and Deandre will fly like they do, but I think Duncan can hold it down like he did the last post-season, and hopefully Splitter will help.
The SG match-ups. We know that Green can be a terrific perimeter defender, but he is just kind of inconsistent. Manu is great defender but might be a bit slower than a few other SG's on those elite teams, like Wade and Crawford, but in all honestly, Wade and Crawford are the only ones that trouble me. Kevin Martin is inconsistent, and I don't think he can hit those shots in the late post-season, Tony Allen will defend like always but should remain quiet offensively.
It will be tough, and I feel like the Spurs probably can't take it this year, but when I factor in those things, I can at least be a bit hopeful. Most likely, the Heat ringing again. Also, if Dirk starts averaging 25ppg, do you still sleep on the Mavericks?
You simply can't take the Spurs seriously when they still rely on so many scrubs for production. Danny Green is still Danny Green at the end of the day. Last year's WCF proved this.
^Sad, but true.
Time will tell, too soon to know what teams might get stronger with the trade deadline and what teams will stay healthy. Most likely there will be at least one upset in the first round playoffs in the West this year - Denver, Golden State, and LAL (which will make it unless another big injury) will all be tough outs. Spurs with their experience should move on however, and if, Spurs healthy and get fair calls (unlike the travesty that was the WCF last year) they can compete with anyone.
Indeed. As was mentioned earlier, stars win in the playoffs. If you can't get over 40 minutes per game out of them it's extremely difficult to win a le.
LOL my beautiful and still pe e wife is from Panama and if she did not kick your ass out of sympathy for your lack of masculinity, bring it on, former boxer here and Army doc here with training in the martial arts and while I am middle aged and "heading for the senior tour" in life; would still undoubtedly kick your hiding between a screen name *&^ anytime.
The Spurs have set themselves up with the biggest officiating obstacle in NBA history. Stern's hatred of the Spurs has reached new dimensions, it's going to be an absolute miracle for them to win the le.
irishock might be the worst poster in this forum's history.
Biggest obstacle is always beating the team that beat you last... Spurs biggest obstacle has to be OKC just like the Clippers biggest obstacle is the Spurs
Interesting. Although I do believe this year Spurs does have a chance beating OKC. Harden's loss was huge for that team.
Harden leaving and Splitters emergence are going to be key if we are to get over the OKC hump. Splitter averaged roughly 10 minutes per game in the conference finals but has been an almost 30 minute per game guy since being plugged into the starting 5
