I'm actually looking forward to see if Baynes can earn a rotation spot
Imma sound silly to many but if im not mistaken we were one rebound away from being champs. Regardless of Tonys injury, Manus turn overs, or Pops stupid sub. We was still in the finals till the end. I don't get all the "it was a terrible off season " talk. We didn't have AK47 when we reached the finals so im sure we dont need him now. Belinelli signing was a dam good move. An we've been playing with all these micro guards, so whats new!?! I want a back up Kawhi too, but owell if we dont. An if anyone on here thinks pendagraph for Blair was a lateral move, your silly. I bet you'll never see him do that bull tear drop like Blair. An his mid range gm is on point too. Stop trippin people. Maybe Baynes knows the system better an plays a better.

I'm excited about the Marco signing but I'm going to wait and see what happens by the trade deadline. If we don't make a deal by then, then I'll be pissed. Yeah, it took us hand-gifting the le to the Heat in these Finals but father time doesn't stop just for the Spurs. It'll be another year for TD and Manu and we can't expect them to have the same conditioning by next year's playoffs. They need help...and again, I'm willing to wait and see how the season plays out. We still have a good shot but there's still room for improvement, especially when you consider the Rockets and Warriors improving and the Thunder having a healthy Westbrook. A return trip to the Finals isn't a given for us just because we got there this year and should've won it.
I couldn't watch tv for a while after that finals loss. But im lookin forward to next season myself. It would be different if we made it an got the kicked outta us. The 2 main pieces swapped out Neal an Blair didn't do nuttin in the finals anyway. Neal did for gm 3, but Blair never seen the court. An if the Pendergraph dude can come in off the bench an be a decent role player, I'll take that. Besides Green played dam good defense on Labron. So yes he can play some sf to give Kawhi a blow.
Ooooo we going back barring an injury! An how many times have Westbrook help us beat the Thunder with his dumb play making. Yal fear him to much around here. that . I love the ball in Westbrook's hands. Takes away shots from Durant who is a waaaay better player.
Im excited to watch Baynes play tomorrow night in summer league.
I'm sure there were a lot of "we just won the championship right?" reasoning in 2008. Then the Spurs stood pat, added Kurt Thomas, and got smacked down in the WCF.
Point being, they made it back to the WCF, and if not for Manu's injury, they might have won it all. So it goes.
It's pretty frustrating when Matt Bonner is making 3.9 million and Kirilenko signed for 3.1
Spurs will be fine and are still the best in the West IMO, but OKC, Houston and the others are on th same level, tbh..it'll be a toss-up with all these teams..
The ty part of the off-season is that the Spurs could have been a level ahead of the rest of the league had they made a nice acquisition, tbh..
Were that all AK was making, I guess.
AK's cousin's, son's, uncle on his mother's side just went from being a bellboy in Siberia to running one of the nicest hotels in Russia. Go figure.
I don't think "Spurs would have won if Ginobili wasn't' injured" is a good reason to stand pat either
2008 - various injuries, sore ankle, sprained groin
2009 - ankle injury, out for the entire playoffs
2010 - broke nose against Dallas
2011 - fractured arm
2012 - various injuries but relatively healthy, Spurs still got whacked by the Thunder
2013 - hamstring injury
Tired of the Spurs burying their heads in the sands and crossing their fingers that Ginobili will finally deliver a healthy playoff performance. Look at his history, why should they expect anything different?
AK47 is dumpsta juice.
What time so I can dvr it? Please
Where u from pimpin? I thought I was the one that says dumpsta juice! Or scrap iron.
9:00 pm central time tomorrow on nbatv.
Can you truly imagine a Spurs team without Ginobili? Ask yourself that seriously
Thanks
It doesn't hurt to get better or try to improve from last year. True, if we get Kirelenko and TD falls off and Manu gets hurt like he always does it won't matter but still, try to improve your situation. The fact that the Spurs are running with 1 SF is a little perplexing. Standing pat is what the Spurs have always done but I think the FO takes for granted that we have Tim, Tony and Manu, they don't want to consider the fact that they could drop off and the system won't make Pendergraph Tim or Tiago David Robinson. While I want there to be another deep run the Spurs have lost to inferior teams before so lets not just think it's a cakewalk back to the Finals or the WCF.
Yeah, there was Spurs before Manu and there will be Spurs after him... The only moment that will kill me is when Tim Duncan decides to retire.
Completely agree, we didn't need wholesale changes. Unbiased I don't see why the spurs can't get back to the finals next year, I don't think okc's current roster has enough and Houston isn't proven yet. I think we'll be fine and should go into this season with the highest of hopes
I got it from you scro, when you made fun of Blair.
I honestly have no problems with that. Bonner is a bit overpaid and overplayed, but still has a role and apart of this team. AK47, that is some straight up shady , nothing we can do to beat that. That's something owners will have to look into and they may not since so many have skeletons in their closet. I actually feel better about Manu's ty contract knowing AK47 probably rescued a brother from the Gulags with that deal.
