Excluding the Thunder, Golden State are the scariest team in the Western Conference. I don't think they can win a le yet, but they have an offence that can get hot and beat anyone 4 times out of 7.

you went ape on Duncan ... Duncan can do what he wants and if he wants to post up twice as much as Kawhi than he is allowed to do it ... he shut everyone up with a Triple Double tonight

spurs chamipnship chances are about 20% at the moment
Decemeber wins are meaningless.
Right now I would say Houston is the biggest threat in the west.
We kobe fans now.....

comparing Kobe and Duncan regarding on court decisions ... good stuff
Maybe you should switch fan bases for comparing the two
If Spurs repeat, Tim and Manu both retire.
(except they both love playing, and probably won't)
Exactly. They wont retire for legacy reasons I dont think. Depends on their bodies and the will to train in offseason..
lol, wrong, its like 66% if we are healthy
Uh, if we repeat, I bet they come back and try to make it 3, they would have no reason to believe we couldnt win another
Spurs fan logic.
If spurs lose a regular season game: They are playing us like the nba finals, come playoffs we gonna own the out of them. Its still december.
If spurs win a regular season game: We are a bad matchup for them. Theres no way they win us in the playoffs. We are the champions
This, Harden matured a lot, they got rid of Jeremy Lin's inconsistency and Parson's stat padding, replaced with Ariza's defense. They have 8 million left to make a move. This team got significantly better this season. They are missing even more pieces than the Spurs and have a better record.
A low seed OKC can be a devastating first round match-up as well.
Cleveland is putting it together too, they got the raw talents.
One bad injury ruins the season, take this season as a bonus folks. Top two keys for Spurs repeat as always: Health and whether someone can step up for ISO plays. Timmy's heroics got us through OKC game 6. Kwahi completely turned table on LeBron in finals 3, 4 and 5. Spurs rely on team work more than anyone else but sometimes there is no replacement for individual ISO performance.

Only the Spurs can beat themselves, they're by far the best team in the NBA. They were already the favorites bringing back the same roster, but now Cojo/Baynes/Leonard pretty much everybody has stepped up their game. The old guys look like they're in cruise control too, so they won't be gassed for the playoffs.
Hopefully we don't see any hero ball take us to 7 games against subpar teams like the Mavs again.
Spurs emerged from a 7 year cocoon, transformed into Monarchs.
Every other team is a caterpillar.
Barring injury, no other team can fly with the Spurs.
alba berlin is our weakness, with them out of the way I feel confident
Actually, I wish it was that positive. It seems to me every time there is a loss, many on ST think the sky is falling and the cliff jumpers come out in droves.
Health. Harmony. Happenstance.
Those are the three Hs to 6.
I still don't get why you guys are saying by far the faves like it will just be easy to go out there and run through the West and then win again. This will be TOUGH, VERY TOUGH. The le is hard to come by man, if they are healthy they have as good as a shot as anyone but it WILL NOT come easy.
The hardest thing will be winning the West, because it's so stacked. The WCF will be the real Finals, because the WC Champion (hopefully us) will utterly slap the EC Champion in the Finals. 5 games, max.
not really tbh. Harden won't get the calls he gets in the regular season during the playoffs.
