    not that we can't win a game or 2 early, but no way in we're winning a game 7 there for all the marbles.

    Scary part is, Spurs don't start rolling until after the Rodeo Road Trip...

    I could see the Spurs maybe getting injuries and going like 3–5 on the RRT and like .600 in March or something and falling to the 3rd or 4th seed. Ugh.

    If we are better than them we can beat them.
    That simple...

    yeah, unlike a guy like marco, you can't really define manu's success/failure on his shooting. manu wasn't anything special, but he's not one of the guys i'd point to as guys who had significant struggles in the clippers series (looking mostly at parker/splitter/baynes/green, and then the last few games by kawhi)

    Don't want to peak too early. Leonard still shooting at a ridiculous percentage. Just need both LMA and Green to be more efficient in offense.

    Diaw really is playing well lately. I can't believe how easy he scored against the long Bucks players.

    I don't care if we have the Dream Team or the Mon-Stars, winning 5 on 8 is one thing but we're not winning 5 on 20k+.

    It's true, but GSW have had a similar weak schedule. It's probably worth adding that the NBA removed a ton of back to backs, this helps the Spurs as well.

    Green's % will go up, Leonard's % will go down.

    This could potentially be the best Spurs team ever, maybe better than '14, if they peak at the right time.

    Wrong.

    The fans can't play.
    If we are the better team, we can win ANY game 7 away.

    Point diff. has always been a better indicator of dominance than the number of good teams you beat (FWIW, Bucks are a good team at home).

    I wouldn't make this thread if we were winning by 5-10 points against these teams, but we are demolishing them.

    This team in its current form beats OKC on opening day by 10.

    stick to mlb where you belong tbh

    Say the Thunder and Grizzlies meet in the 1st round this year. Then, say Westbrook and Durant both went out with injuries.


    I'd still pick the Thunder to win a game 7 in that situation. Hostile environments in the NBA are the most underrated confounding variable in sports.

    Not really. The Spurs seem to be in cruise control in most of these games, basically sleepwalking for entire quarters and still winning by 20

    I ain't calling le yet, though. Other dominant looking Spurs teams ('04 and '12. I never believed in the '11 squad with ty RJ) flamed out. One of these reasons I'm emotionally cautious to "believe" too much.

    '04 team wasn't dominant. We had ing Jason Hart as our fulltime backup point guard that year. The bench in general was mediocre after all the personnel turnover we had that previous offseason. We only won what, 55 games? Never believed in that team though that Timmy shot over Shaq was a flash in the pan,

    All it tells me is the teams are evenly matched.

    If a superior team plays poorly enough to lose 3 games, but is still superior, I take em away. It's very simple.
