Like who?I do think that right now the Spurs don't look like a championship contender, but it's still early in the season.
They do need to make a trade. Let the Thunderef have their regular season win. Its all they have going for them.
I partly agree on a trade.
Spurs haven't made a significant trade in years now. Time to shake it up abit.
Splitter would be the one I'd ship out. Guy has reached his limitations imo.
Yeah, it's December. It doesn't matter if we haven't peaked in December. If we're losing to the same teams in April, worry. Pre-all star break it's all about just building a good record, not proving yourself against elites.
Same, too annoying to spend much time on here during games. They're much more enjoyable without logging onto this forum.
Wait, I thought they were coasting? In any-case if Spurs are already gassed I don't know what to say. Everyone minutes are very low and 4 of the Spurs starters even sat out the last game. There isnt much more you can do for rest.
If they are gassed then they are for sure in trouble.
I'm holding out hope that we get Amir Johnson.
I think the Spurs have a pretty good roster for the moment but they need more athletes on the team.
Disagree about Splitter. As frustrating and soft he can be sometimes, he's still the only legit big we have next to Duncan that is actually talented. Baynes and Ayres aren't anything special. I'm more content with shipping out Danny Green, who has reached his limitations.
Only idiots say rebuild now. If you are a top 4 team in the conference, you stay the course. OKC has four scorers (Durant, Westbrick, Jackson, Serge). If two of those players have a mediocre series, they could easily lose. Westbrick can make big baskets, but also makes some dumb decisions down the stretch. Spurs will live and die with the 3s. If they get hot, they can bet anybody. TP has made some clutch shots and can finish games.
We were even losing to teams in April last year and we still nearly won the le. I stopped taking the regular season seriously.
Rockets and Blazers >> Thunder.
Ray Allen traveled before he shot the 3.
5.
Premature ejaculation much diaz? Go wipe your hands bro. You're embarrassing yourself.
Jackson's dribble penetration and Lamb's 3-point shooting have effectively replaced Harden. Obviously, they're not as good, but this team never needed a third elite player to beat the Spurs, so that's irrelevant.
At the time, I liked "our" chances too, but at the same time, I'm not going to be a blind, in denial homer. As I said, it's the same thing virtually every time they play.
Too many are fooled by last season's fortuitous run and irrelevant information, some of which goes back years ago.
Nobody stops Durant, only person who comes close is Westbrook. Westbrook stops himself by chucking up bad shots (Career 30% 3P shooter chucking 4.5 3s per game?). Ibaka is a nightmare for us from mid range, we just have to hope he doesn't have another freak 100% shooting game.
People are worried about Reggie Jackson? Seriously? Dude is decent but won't have me quaking in my boots come May.
Harden was the scariest person on that team with his ability to drive through the lane and make good decisions when he got there. IMO he was the most unstoppable player in that 2012 series and makes me dead a matchup with Houston.
Durant is as unstoppable shooter as there is in the league, but he's still a jumpshooter. Harden got in the lane and always scored, got the foul or both, a much scarier prospect.
Yeah, I don't think we're gonna get a first-round bye this time around. 2013*
Jackson has dropped 23 and 21 on us this season, no need to worry, tbh.
Spurs are in trouble, Beli is the only one showing up. Everybody else is showing up too late
Reggie Jackson is a career 25% 3 point shooter. Come playoff time we will be able to exploit that and he will get figured out. The idea that Lamb and Jackson have replaced Harden, a Top 10 (perhaps even Top 5) player in the league is as ridiculous a comment as they come.
Somewhat true but I dont see very many old s posting anything other then bashing on the new people these days.
It's really simple. Danny Green is good at 2 things. Making 3's when his feet are set and then defending shorter players with his long arms. Had Kawhi played, the D matchups would have been Kawhi on KD, Green on Westbrook, Parker on Jackson, Splitter on Perkins, and Duncan on Ibaka. It's obvious that OKC athletically, they win those matchups, but even saying that, it doesn't give them a decided advantage unless the Spurs turnover the ball. Green on Durant and Parker on Westbrook was a fail. But having said that, the Spurs had their chances.
Except Danny Green is void of offensive talentbthis season and bites on too many pump fakes.
Toney Douglas scored 21 on us, you worried about him when we play Golden State? In the 26 minutes he players last season (only significant minutes in 2 games) Jackson scored a grand total of 5 points. I'll start worrying if I see in May, not December.
You're the opposite of a homer. You're a downer, writing us off when we have every chance of winning any series in the playoffs.
No, I mean its not like Reggie Jackson is improving as a player this season.
