Cant comprehend how Vegas has MIA as better odds in 2015 than the Spurs.
I still believe most urgent need is a back up SF tbh

Mills & Diaw have to come back, they are an integral part
They never learn
chemistry of this team is very high, I see no better team just with talent, as previously mentioned, we discovered how to hit the thunder, it was the most challenging team, the team remains intact (maybe the replacement of Bonner by someone mirza type), I think we are the favorites for next season
I don't feel comfortable against OKC, not because they're good, but because they get carried by the refs.
If SA can add a decent backup SF and 1 more key role player that can play D they got the repeat on lock.
Probably not a good idea to be complacent, but i yhink if the Spurs stand pat they will be a force again next year. Also, theyre now built such that they can have dominant regular seasons as well, ensuring a good seed for the playoffs
The spurs are old rumor started around 2007z when the corpses of Oberto Finley and Bowen were around putting major pressure on the big 3.. Now they have a blend of youth and depth that will allow their window to last until the big 3 retire imo
Horry was another corpse on that 2008 team. Imo 2008-2010 the Spurs window was closed
You don't understand the Spurs system.
Isn't Vince Carter a free agent? He would be a good back up considering he gave us problems in the first round.
So true. I guess even Vegas is salty!
Always thought Carter was a solid signing for the mavs but too late now for the spurs dude is pretty much finished or close to
We were by far the best team in the NBA this year, by any statistical measure. Net rating / point differential, regular season record, playoff record, etc. Perhaps the best reason to hope that we can still repeat next year is that even if the team drops off, which is far from guaranteed, the distance between us and the 2nd best team is so great, that we might still end up on top overall.
Honestly, give me this championship team healthy and I would take them to win pretty much every championship over the past few years and the next couple too. I have 100% confidence that if this exact team gets to the playoffs healthy next year, we'll do it again. Gotta make sure Boris and Patty are back on board, I think will get Boris but Patty is the one i'm more worried about.
-OKC sealed their fate when they announced Brooks would be back next season.
-The Clippers don't have the pieces that will give the Spurs trouble.
-The Warriors are one big move away from being serious contenders. Bring in Love and they'll be dangerous.
-Ditto for the Rockets but they still have a coaching issue like the Thunder tbh.
OKC has enough talent to be a threat despite Brooks. If they had kept Harden and had a competent coach, they would win the West every year.
They don't have a competent coach and they lucked into the WCF despite Ibaka's injury. They're still the the Spurs' toughest matchup if rosters stay the same but I'd be more scared if either they a) got a new head coach b) Ibaka/Durant develop a post game
They already said they're keeping Brooks and the jury is still out on B. I'm most intrigued by what the Rockets do over the summer in terms of competing w/ the Spurs for the West next year tbh.
That was the point I was trying to make. Even with no improvements, they present more problems for the Spurs than any other team in the NBA. Every other team, IMO, needs to make improvements to really challenge a healthy Spurs team with everyone returning.
Okc and heat are the biggest threats for the Spurs. Biggest improvement to be expected from okc is a different Westbrook, he had a great PO run, seeing how the spurs are playing I think he might get things together, a more polished Westbrook along with Durant and Ibaka is gonna be a nightmare to deal with IMO
Can you imagine those three plus Harden coached by Brett Brown or Budenholzer?
A true nightmare, I truly believe those guys would have already rang. The harden move is one of the most mind blowing in last decade tbh
Gary Neal will call Patty and tell him "take what they give you and enjoy the ride"
We can only hope. That being said I understand if Patty leaves for a crazy offer the spurs wont/cant match. Hope he's back though, he's the only one I worry about. I'm not worried about Diaw leaving at all.
