By the way Erler is really depressing me. In short his answers to the 5 questions are:
1. Spurs have less than a 15% chance to claim the top spot and only if Curry or Green get hurt.
2. LMA has been merely ok and has already lost athleticism.
3. Timmy is likely to retire after this year.
4. Few playoff minutes for Boban
5. Warriors beat Cavs by more than us (and he implies that means something.)
Not saying all this is wrong, just what a party pooper...
Stopped reading at Pounding the..
Erler is PtC's Debbie Downer. And not by coincidence, but by design. They have a script and that's his part.By the way Erler is really depressing me. In short his answers to the 5 questions are:

Really? I had no idea it was so staged.
Erler was definitely the Debbie Downer. I definitely disagree with 2, 3, and 5. I have to agree on 1 and 4. Boban is probably match-up specific for this season. I won't be surprised to see Kyle and Boban in spots in the post-season; I just don't expect to see them a consistent 10+ minutes per game (unless we're talking first-round blowouts).
Hah. I was a bit slow with the same label.
no
You folks need to get Boban the out of your minds. He's a garbage time player.. in' PERIOD. I don't give two s if he dominates the out of every D leaguer in the world, he's not seeing a minute in the playoffs.
Baynes was used sparingly in the playoffs.. just saying
Conceivably the Spurs could finish with the best record in the league, but we all know that is not Pop's primary concern. If he has to throw some games to keep players rested and healthy, he will do it. Not sure the other teams are ready to do that.
While Tony was used repeatedly by everyone on the Clippers.
I have never liked Erler. He has a funny/witty writing style, but he's arrogant in his takes and very often wrong for a guy so arrogant and opinionated. He makes for entertaining reading, but he's one if those guys that is always looking fir something to criticize without appreciating positives. I really don't like him at all. I suppose if you agree with him you would've liked him bc he has talent as a writer but his basketball takes are often trash. IMO. And to whoever differs: suit yourself! To each his own!By the way Erler is really depressing me. In short his answers to the 5 questions are:

I remember a very detailed piece of analysis( er, trash) where he concluded there was no way we would get Aldridge.
I swear writers on that website steal opinions and stuff from posters in spurstalk.
I do think this is Timmy and Manu's last season, but that is my own opinion and observation. Nothing to do with Erler.
And what a bad design, since he's very often their most prolific writer.
