Spurs will be fine..

[boutons_deux]

Everyone is freaking were playing horrible. And we have the SECOND best record in the entire NBA..

totally negated by the last month's disaster.

they should be streaking now, something 9-1 in Last10, or close to it, momentum and team confidence into the playoffs. these screws hurt everybody's confidence, 'cept maybe Tim, people are afraid to shoot, play hot potato by over-passing with no real playmaking or intention. mindless ball movement

[TD 21]

Anyone still think they'll be fine?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

just got to get healthy

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Would be shocked if Spurs get past the second round

[Sean Cagney]

No they are not fine and they will not be fine! They have a ceiling of the 2nd round and of they pass that WCF outting at the most! Last year was their last shot with this team, sad but true. I love this team and will always love them, but some fans just have to accept the truth and realize barring a miracle it's over.

I would be shocked too.

Can we all finally agree that, on draft night, Pop must realize that the time has now ended for the 'draft-and-stash'?

[SenorSpur]

I wish I could fool myself into thinking otherwise, but they're not going to be fine.

[Robz4000]

As long as the team has a 90% Tony, they'll get to the WCF. Golden State is flawed on D, and Denver will be limited without Gallo and a hobbled Lawson

[Pop]

I think this team has the potential to be scary even playing like they opted to do this year, I see flashes of it. They will be better in the POs for sure since it's more of an half court team this year and since we have little depth so shorter rotations will favor us. I'm just not sure I trust Pop.

Denver is limited? Define limited. Let's not be an optimistic jokester. Tony Parker doesn't get many offensive rebounds and they were throttled on the offensive glass AGAIN. Gallo wasn't much of a factor and Lawson had only 2 points on 1-7 shooting the last time these teams met and the Spurs won by a friggin point WITH Parker. You want to talk about flaws, look no furthe than the Spurs.... no backup pg that's even worth a , bigs that play small, and what seems like an endles string of injuries that continue to pile up. The team is deeply flawed in that it has no reliable offensive threat other than TP.

The team lost in Denver with no one other than TD coming to play. Mind, I wasn't able to catch the game, but when you're missing four of eight playoff starters and you lost by ten, it's whatever. Let's see where the team is at the end of the season. I don't see this team beating OKC, but they'll be in one of the weakest playoff brackets in years with HCA. They should have enough to win it as long as Tony can play38 meaningful minutes a game.

I agree, but go watch the Cavs since you are such a fan of them! That will solve all! LOL you say alot of truth in here, but why do you care honestly when you are a Cavs fan????????? You seem to be somewhat Spurs fan yourself and care alot of times.

Some of you guys are the most pessimistic fans I've ever come across. Despite us eventually getting that 1st seed, this isn't a knock on yall. I would characterize yall as a pickup team right now given the lineup changes and people being out and all. Yall are so quick to give up on your team. I can still see yall catching fire in the 2nd round against Denver. Denver is a great team, but they are desperate without Gallinari and a hobbled Lawson.

@ calling yourselves fans of yall's teams when yall are so quick to underestimate your team

[Kuestmaster]

we will get to the wcf at least. mark my words.

The fans here expect championships, can't blame them too much. This team isn't winning it all this year, but no reason to think they can't reach the Finals if the team is fully healthy. The fact the Thunder are still pretty formidable without Harden doesn't help settle nerves.

So, are you Narutoluva or not, btw?

As fans of a team that have excelled for years, one would think yall would understand the grind of a season and the crap that comes with it. Injuries happen especially to an old team of yalls nature. It will suck when we face that in 5-6 years.

I don't agree with that at all. There are two teams that can compete and dethrone Miami, us and yall. It's all about getting on that roll and peaking at the right time, partner. I won't write off the Spurs until the second round. If their recent play continues then I will write yall off. Until then, it's too early. On a side note, I think Pop is playing mind games with the league by resting some players man. Sucker has to have something up his sleeve for all I know.

What in heaven's name is that, partner?

We'll be waiting.

You have more faith in our team than most do now that is for sure, whether you are blowing smoke or not I don't know but you are keeping some faith in this team outta respect for some reason. This team is done IMO, second round they might make but that is about IMO. Not pessimist at all, just a realist. They might slide into the WCF, but that is it.

Miami is winning it this year and it's basically been assured since they won last year (sans serious injury).

Spurs have had more injuries this year than any other since they last rang, so it's not a stretch to think they won't be fully healthy in the playoffs.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now on that last one...

I'm giving my take as a general basketball fan, partner. I can't write off the Spurs, ESPECIALLY given the cir stances yall's team face at the moment. Give it some time. Yall have to grind it out like the other teams. Nothing will come as easy as that ridiculous streak yall went on to carry throughout the playoffs. Some of yall are some serious cliff-jumpers.

I hope that first part ain't true partner. If either we or yall make it that far, I hope we give it everything we got and we're peaking at the right time. Last year, we just didn't get it going sans game 1. James was out of it for the better part of that series. If he were on point, the series would have undoubtedly been more compe ive and who knows? Maybe the outcome would've been different.

I just don't want to see those assholes from Miami win again.

Nobody is jumping off a cliff! The injuries right now at this time of year and they play the last month is a legitmate concern! This looks eerily similar to 011 late in the year when they limped into the playoffs! I thank GOD there is no Grizzlies waiting for them in the first round. They might get it together, the looks of it right now though I have questions about it and just will wait and see.

[in2deep]

it's not only injuries

our backups are playing awful. Not just bad, not just being dominated. Plain awful and painful to look at.

[hater]

Even in this BEST CASE SCENARIO:
round 1. spurs vs. rockets (hopefully)

Rotation:
TP
Duncan
Kawhi
Green
Splitter

DeColo
Jackson

damn, unfortunately Pop will be forced to play Bonner and Blair due to Diaw injury

I'm gonna go ahead and say if any of these turds sees more than 10 mins per game in round 1, we probably will not even get past round 1:
Neal, Mills, Bonner, Blair, COJO

time to wake up ppl. Time to push the panic button. The Holocaust seems imminent. I wouldn't bother canceling everyones early summer gettaways
