This is ______'s team

[Wildcat67]

We were much more top-heavy when the big 3 where in their primes, tbh... but nowadays, it's indisputable what Kawhi's value is to the team.

I agree that Tim is the foundation, Manu the heart of the team, and Tony the steady engine... but father time says that would only work to a .500 record in this day and age...

In a way, it's comforting to see Kawhi taking the reigns of this team, I'm sure it makes it much easier for guys like Tim and Manu to eventually retire, knowing they're leaving the team in good claws...

Kawhi's the Machine Gun of the team. He makes them bleed.

When did I say you shouldnt respond? Go right ahead. If it is indeed a shtick though you're giving it plenty of attention which seems strange since you think it sucks.

i think everyone should know how much your shtick sucks.

What part of that do you not understand?

lol re-read the post idiot

noone is arguing whether anything does or doesn't suck

[look_at_g_shred]

This team has always been Tim's Until he leaves, then it'll be someone else's. Will it be KL? Depends on if the spurs can ink him this summer.

[Legacy]

It was David's team until he retired and it will remains Tim's team until he decides to hang them up.

I agree. I did quickly vote for Kawhi, but immediately wanted to change my vote to Timmy afterwards, but obviously it was too late. There's no question (imho) that Kawhi holds the keys to the Spurs future (if he decides to remain a Spur)... but "the passing of the torch" hasn't officially happened yet. Until The Big Fundamental's "wheels fall off"-- he's still in command.

[TampaDude]

This has been Timmy's team since he started with them in 1997. When he retires, it will be Kawhi's team, no question. The Spurs will be in good hands for years to come.

[TampaDude]

The 2014 Spurs were perhaps the most codependent championship team in the history of basketball. We pretty much needed everyone. Even Baynes. That's insane to think about.

Sure, every champion needs it's core players, but I don't think we've ever seen anything else like the current Spurs team.

The upside is that this Spurs team is a TEAM...they move the ball all the time and someone always steps up. Remember, this is the team that obliterated the Miami Heat last year, with the largest combined winning margin in NBA Finals history.

thread with agenda...

if OP point was to ask who is the best player... why not simply ask who is the best player... 90% would have voted Kawhi but I guess it does not fit with calling out big 3 antiquated fans

Tim is still the best player. Kawhi is streaky at best in the playoffs and duncan is a consistent 20-10 and huge defensive impact on the floor every night. The only nights he doesn't pull those numbers is when we blow out teams and he doesn't need to try.

[dabom]

Carlisle pretty much took kawhi out the game last year in the playoffs. You wouldn't be able to do that to duncan.
Kawhi still has a long way to go. He is second best in this team and far from first.

[hater]

thread backfire

[look_at_g_shred]

I don't like the idea of a player being the "team" but you'd have to be either a mainstream big 3 fan or just a total moron to not think Kawhi is the best Player in the team.

WTF is a mainstream big 3 fan does that even ing exist?? Parker is not the best player on the team. It's definitely Kawhi, but it's far from his team

Sorry bud but he ing ain't. Found missing in that dallas series. Good thing we had the big three including ing duncan to stomp on dallas while everyone is playing like .
Blazers series he was meh. OKC series he was good and that heat series he was gone for 2 ing games and we split those 2. Any decent small foward could have given us a 2-0 lead. Sure kawhi did go beast mode the last 3 games because
the heat didn't stick lebron on kawhi for most of those last games. Duncan meanwhile is ing carrying at dallas okc and overtime and pulling great numbers in the finals. People just take that for granted but he is pulling most of the ing weight.

[dabom]

We do when kawhi goes down because the FO ing decides we don't need one for some ing reason and decides to play small ball 2 pg or 2 sg line ups.
When duncan sits we can do well because he can be replaced by tiago or any of our back up PF's.

You stupid . I even talked about this year.

And kawhi hasn't done this year. If anything Duncan is the one consistent rock the spurs can rely on.

Until he retires, it's Tim's team

I disagree tbh

tim was the best player imo during last POs. So far tho Spurs are a totally different team when Kawhi is on the floor. Anyway Tim being in this kind of discussion at 38 y/o is just unbelievable tbh

So Duncan was the best player in the playoffs for the spurs last year and you think that'll change this year? Under what assumptions?

Under the impression of half a season tbh

[dabom]

Under the impression of half a season tbh

half a season of playing 2pg or 2 sg lineups or playing rookies or playing bad players as a SF backup? Playing marco heavy minutes.
I can kinda see how people are misguided.
