A lot of condescendant BS in dat thread... some start to sound like Lakers fans a few years ago
Last year's team was by far the best team in the league, they're even better this year. This year I just don't see any elite defenses that could stop the Spurs' offense, meanwhile they're playing some of the best defense in years this year, that usually takes them months to do. The Spurs roster last year:
Parker-sprained ankle (although this actually helped the Spurs)
Manu-Fractured leg
Leonard-limited role in the offense
Belli-Non factor
Cojo-Non factor
Baynes-Non factor
Mills-Rotator cuff injury
Assistant coach-Boylen
FF 1 year, Baynes/Cojo are turning into NBA players, Manu/Parker a fully rested off season, Leonard's role has expanded and he's gotten much better, I don't think Belli could be any worse than he was last year, Mills looks like he's in shape and will come back strong in Jan., Spurs are playing elite defense without Splitter, they're winning games and playing like on offense. Oh and we added Messina, I really like this guy, much better than having Pop refer to Boylen in crucial moments.
Once things together, the Spurs can easily be better than last year, but it'll take time.
Plus don't they still have cap space? Couldn't they pick up some solid role player mid season? Adding another solid player to this roster, RIP NBA.

Your French is showing.
Repeat!!!
The offense still isn't as explosive as last year's. But maybe that's because Mills isn't available.
Duncan has completely lost his mid-range jumper.
HOWEVER,
Parker now seems to have 3-point range.
Ginobili is getting back to form.... but maybe he is peaking too early.
Leonard is developing a Jordon like mid court game. Not great yet, but he's working on it.
Green is more reliable now working off the ball and driving into the lane.
Baynes apparently has a decent mid range jumper.
Bonner is hitting a ridiculous percentage from not only the 3 point line, but his drive in floaters.
Cojo is now playing a more controlled game. His 3 point shot is much improved.
However.. the following players aren't playing as well
Belinelli - out of shape and injured. But he had big game last time.
Diaw - just coasting out there. Still doesn't have a reliable 3 point shot. If he improves on his shot... Spurs win championship. Heck... championship will depend on Diaw performing.
No, not quite. It's more like this...
Spurs Win: We were playing a "scrub" team, so what does it matter anyway?
Spurs Lose: We're ed. Tim, Manu, and Tony won't score 20+ in a game again. The "popsuckers" need to come do some damage control. We have no chance at another le. Rebuilding is eminent.
Well, that too. Its half half i guess
Your French is showing.true
should be condescending right ?
Yes.
should be condescending right ?
In before somebody overreacts and bumps this.
Big Datty Patty's got me positively bullish. 1-0 so far
Yeh Patty undefeated so far this season and makes everyone around him better just by his energy
Dude just not a rah rah guy, he can ball!
He's a catalyst, great for team morale, and keeps hustling...
Every workplace needs someone like that.
It gets me to thinking, you know when you're at your job... and that one person comes in and everyone just brightens up.
When I see examples like Patty, it makes me want to try to bring that type of presence to the moment.
I mean, things are going to happen regardless, you can control your at ude.
I'm sure Golden State, Portland, Memphis, and Houston are not very comfortable looking at the standings and thinking they might have to face the Spurs or the Thunder in round one of the playoffs...
Might see some tanking to avoid SAS and OKC at the end of the season.
Matrix,Leonard didn't do today but get torched by Tayshaun Prince... Why are you including him in OP
