We need a full scale investigation into this insidious plotttt!!!!!!
troof bombs, right from the Galaxy Pursewhat a small-market mentality
Spurs are champions and that's the only statistic that should matter.

I have no idea what this stat means except that Utah is No. 3 on the all-time list.
Utah has never won a single le.
Therefore, this stat is meaningless.
Yes, and they still continue to watch that bull over and over and about it! Just enjoy the damn le and the Summer for GODS SAKES! What else do you want? I think the same as you.
^ truth nuke
In the end, the only thing that really matters is which team is left standing as NBA Champions. This year, that team is us. All the rest is just conversation.
Exactly. I couldn't give any less s about how much we're talked about on ESPN. We just got to see one of the most awesome playoff runs in NBA history and witness them win their 5th le in 15 years...yet people here still complain about "the media not giving us enough credit". I just can't fathom why it matters so much to some people.
Newsflash: we're based in San Antonio. Not LA, NY, Boston, Chicago, etc. We're never going to get a ton of media attention unless we land some bonafide superstar like LeBron or Durant. Just accept it and stop ing about it. I'd rather win les than get talked about 24/7 for being a trainwreck like the Knicks.
^ this, tbh
Best team since 1996 Bulls
Spurs being ignored,
and underrated,
per par.
Imagine a record like that,
and in the tough
Western Conference
and Finals.
The 2014 Spurs are the
GREATEST TEAM IN NBA HISTORY.
It's no big deal.
It is part of the Spurs persona to fly under the radar.
We as fans should be used to it by now, because the franchise has been for years.
F U!! This stat means a lot to a lot of people. Hater!

SPURS
GOAT
TBH
I think he means the talk radio/tv media (analysts, etc) As of today nobody is mentioning the Spurs and nobody will. Spurs should possibly be called one of the strongest champions in history but noone will mention this.
I was just thinking about this as I watched Game 2 against OKC again. Even without Ibaka, OKC still has a stacked roster, but they got blown out by 35 points. 35 points! That's just insane for a Western Conference Finals game. You might expect that level of blowout by a top team (like a reigning champion) against the Bucks during the regular season. But not in the WCFs. And games 1 and 5 were also blowouts.
How many champions regularly won games by 20+ points during their run? I know the 2001 Lakers had a historic differential of +13 or so, but did they also have a ton of 20+ point blowouts? It was so long ago I can't remember (and am too lazy to check).
Cherry picks the range and doesn't even make sure it wasn't actually done already. I hate being associated with that type of stupidity by team affiliation.
I remember at the end of game 5 I was pissed because we were up 17 and Miami had the ball and instead of showing the game they showed Lebron congratulating the Spurs on the sidelines. If the Heat had hit a 3 there, we wouldn't have won 12 games by 15+ in the playoffs. Luckily, the Heat just dribbled it out, and we got 12th our 15+ point win in the playoffs.
Also something worth noting: All 4 of our wins in the Finals were by 15+ points. And that's over a team with the best player in the world going for a 3-peat. The 2014 Spurs should be talked about as one of the best teams of all time, yet ESPN and the media hasn't even brought that up once. That's why Spurs fans fee the Spurs arel disrespected, because if the Lakers had slaughtered the Heat like we did, ESPN would build statues of their starters in Bristol.
I think people miss this stat (even though they played more games - 23)
The Spurs point differential +214 is the highest ever for a playoff run (It was +205 for 1987 LAL).
This person hits nail on head.
Another interesting tidbit, after the first six playoff games, the Spurs were -9 point differential. So they went +223 over the final 16 games.
That seems a little unreasonable.
