This team is seeming a lot like 2011 tbh... but I actually think it's a bit worse... and honestly these rotations are getting a bit annoying. Still, the defense is without a doubt the achilles heel and sometimes it's just painful to watch.

This cannot possibly get me suspended.... it's an opinion thread on the Spurs. If it does, then I will gladly leave this site for a long time.
That theres too many damn injuries right now to make a complete assessment. Ask again in late March/April...
parker just seems horrid on defence after playing so hard at EuroCup.. we actually make better runs without him against top teams
It's frustrating but it's still early. If this holds up until March/April, then I'll worry.
The Spurs still need to make a trade though.
Paper Tiger. Perfect to get to the 2nd round easily but after that the odds aren't good! Need another body out there in the middle I'm afraid.
I am thinking, "Damn you Manu for killing us in the Finals."
I thought we beat a lot of the "top" teams in 2010-2011?
Halfway through the season my impression is that, as expected, the Spurs have been taking it relatively easy. It's a double-edged sword. You know you can play a lot better, especially defensively, but you don't want to slack too much and lose your edge.
All in all, the injuries so far have happened when you want them to happen, in the middle of the regular season, and no season-enders, so in that aspect, we've been generally fortunate. Could be much worse.
This team now needs to get healthy and whole again, hope there are no more injury setbacks, and build towards the playoffs. Especially regain the defensive for ude they've shown back in November.
tbh, Tony has me a little worried. He doesn't look explosive, and I think he's a little banged up. He needs to rest. It might cost some games now, but we're already shorthanded, so if I'm Pop, I would just do it.
Parker's never been a great defender. But as long as we get the win, and Parker scores 18+ points, Spurs fans are too fussed about it.
Dropping like flies. All of our young guys too. Probably worst case scenario.
Is it really that blasphemous to even entertain the very notion on how to trade Tony for the right compensation?
honestly, not too good. I still plan on attending a few games to see The Goat TD, but otherwise I'm not liking what I'm seeing.
I won't say we're doomed because happens and a lot of teams that looked iffy were able to gel at the end and get on a roll. So that's possible.
But as of this point, we've got injuries, Parker looks worn down yet still Heroballin, no backup SF, even if Kawhi comes back he probably won't get a lot of touches.
We need some good health or a trade, or both.
it won't happen. we're going down with the big 3 whether it's advantageous or not.
next 3 games that are on the road atl mia hou - hard to believe we can with 2 of those
Loyalty can sometimes be a real , ain't it?
even one !
Nobody worth trading for that will just want a PG. We would need a PG and a big or a wing that can score
I think this is it, the last stand. Parker was playing at an MVP level, Duncan pulled one out of his ass and had an amazing Finals run, GOAT PF doing GOAT PF things, and Danny Green broke a Finals 3 point record. That was a lot of things that went right for the Spurs, not to mention Westbrooks injury, which opened the door to the Finals for the Spurs. The Spurs will go down swinging and fighting father time, but I think its the end of an era.
I think the Spurs have flaws just like every other team and if healthy come playoff time, remain one of 2 teams that can realistically win the West tbh.
they brought us les, though. Gotta go down with the ship.
I think we should test out Thomas over Ayres, in ATL. I just want to see it.
Compared to my expectations before the season started, they're doing well record-wise.
I expected Ginobili to drop off into mediocrity and Duncan to regress much further than he has, so I'm glad that 3 of my favorite players (the big 3) are still playing at a high level.
I'm slightly disappointed in Kawhi, Green, Splitter, and Ayres. Kawhi is too passive, Green has sucked, and Splitter has been soft on offense. Ayres has been improving on offense but he's almost as bad as Blair on defense. At least he has the tools to become an average defender, unlike Blair.
So even though the Spurs are struggling against elite teams this year, I'm satisfied overall.
Same thing I've thought every year since about 2008. Let's see if we can get to the playoffs healthy and gelling. Then the fun begins.
Precisely.
