Whatever. I just hope the FO signs one impact player via free agency. I would love Jarrett Jack, AK47, or Jose Calderon. Jarrett Jack will probably be pursued by 6 teams so he will become expensive. Jose Calderon is a very efficient player but he'll probably be over paid too by a team not named the Spurs. AK47 I believe said he doesn't want to be a bench player. Things aren't looking good.
Spurs are very good at weighing all options and doing things quietly. My feeling is that the impact player you speak of hasn't yet been linked to the Spurs and won't be until they're able to start working on a deal with said player.
Hopefully, anyway.
I have not seen any team in the west get better. Clipper moves have been lateral, at best. OKC is a little weaker. The olny thing that can be said is every team is one year older. Maybe good for Minnesota and Golden St. Spurs are still the Spurs, and we have not gotten worse. If nothing changes we still will get to see Baynes throwing a few bodies around. Not enough to win the finals, but still enough to get back.
Absolutely, OP.
Sweeping the Grizzlies was pure luck, and Splitter had nothing to do with it.
Regular season was trash too. All teams left behind by Spurs are thankful they weren't successful enough to actually have a chance to win it all.
Op going out on a limb with this prediction..

What a bold prediction. lol gtfo
Lol you are a crazy homer, which is fine, but we got bounced out by okc and Memphis past couple yrs, but oh wait we beat them last yr so automatic win for us nxt yr right, using that logic Memphis fans thought the same this past yr. Its the NBA, so yes a healthy OKC can knock us out, and a better coachd hungry clipper team could give the spurs a run or a more experienced Golden ST team could surprise us. I mean cmon man
Thanks for saving me the time of watching next season. Got the lottery #s too?
The Spurs really need a back up for Kawhi and as long as they can get that covered they're in good shape. They showed last year that they and the Heat are clearly the best teams in the league right now. I hate when people bring up the "easy road" the Spurs had to the Finals because it wasn't that easy. The Spurs beat a sizzling hot Warriors team that was at the peak of their game and swept the Grizzlies hardly breaking a sweat in the process. They took Miami to 7 games and everyone knows they should have won it all. Spurs and Heat are still the teams to beat.
"A lot of teams will be much better."
You lost me there.
You don't think a miracle come back and a prayer shot by Manu Ginobili against GSW was luck? GTFO of here you homer.
way to put yourself out there... that only happens to 29 out of 30 teams every season?
That was only one game before the Spurs got Green and Leonard to completely shut-down the belly flop brothers. Golden State won a lucky game at home as well, I think it was game 4. Curry will probably have a shattered ankle or two by the 2014 playoffs anyway.
Okc just got worse, we destroyed memphis, figured out golden state. The only concern I have out west is what doc will do with the clips. But I could see blake choking in a big moment. No reason Leonard, Green, Joseph and Tiago don't continue to improve. Just look at Green and Kahwi from WCF 2012 to this year. Danny gets any kind of inbetween game and they won't be able to take him out like they did and they are ed then. We were the BEST team of the 12-13 playoffs and gave it away so why can't we get back?
And no team should be hungrier than us after giving the le away.
You forgot to mention the most important part of the puzzle. How good will Tim Duncan be at 38? Tim Duncan is the main reason we have 4 championships. Tim Duncan is the main reason (his resurrection) why we have done so well these past two years. It all started with Tim Duncan and sadly, everything will end w/Tim Duncan. No Tim Duncan = End of the Spurs era.
The ass licker is trollin fools today..
OP can you please shut up?
Eh, Clips got an actual NBA coach, so that might help.
So basically you guys expect Danny Green to shoot lights out in the Finals again?
You guys better pray that Danny is able to create off the dribble with regularity next season or else we're doomed.
i think Clips/or GSW vs Grizzlies will batttle for the trophy of WCF this year. All these teams are young and more experienced now. Manu and Tim are older
For the last three seasons I thought I was seeing the writing on the wall for the Spurs but was still enjoying watching them. But now after this past season, I will never say the Spurs will not make it to the Finals. As long as the Big 3 (or 2 1/2) are here they have a chance.
There is no le game so you're right.
Our starting 5 is still the best defensive starting 5 in the NBA. That's the reason we made it to the Finals. We abandoned that defense in the Finals from games 4-7.
