we're going to lose to them and it's going to be fine
they are playing amazing and anyone thinking they will magically crumble in the playoffs is delusional
but to answer your question, YES
..would it be the greatest feat in franchise history?
Getting 5 is looking like shooting fish in barrel by comparaison...

barring injury, this season unfortunately, already has an owner
I guess I'm one of the few Spurs fans who still has some faith in his team... I'll take the Spurs over the Warriors any day, I don't care what happened in one regular season game.
Not worried about the Warriors, tbh... getting past the Grizzlies is the real problem...
Kawhi has a lil something for Curry. Don't underestimate the DPOY.
To be fair, they crumble every season in the playoffs. Last year they played a bunch of very injured squads and didn't even win those very easily. I'll believe it when I see it. Last time we played GS in the playoffs, Parker outplayed Curry. He's a great player, but Parker was scoring 55 at one point too. We'll see if it translates into multiple championships or a FMVP.
We have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Beating the (healthy) Warriors en route to a le would be the most impressive le run in NBA history, even more impressive than the "Redemption" le of 2014, which is currently the most impressive le run in NBA history.
We won't roll over, but it pretty evident that we are going to be overmatched..Wish Tim/Manu /Tony were younger, i would call a toss up, but i can't in 2016..
Depends on if we went on to win it all. Can you imagine if we took down GS after they broke the single season record for wins, and then went on to lose to Cleveland in the Finals?![]()
that would be ass but I don't see that happening. Cleveland isn't as good as last year regardless of who is healthy. Their coach is NBDL level.
Like mid said, it's house money at this point tbh.
I agree, don't see how we could manage to get past a team as good as GS and then go on to lose against Cleveland. Just pointing out how awful it'd be![]()
it, the Spurs have 5 les already. If they can eliminate a team that can beat the 72-10 record, it's a great accomplishment.
Manu? What is that TOSB going to do
Considering how it becomes more of a halfcourt game in the playoffs, I'd say we still have a shot to beat them but it will be incredibly difficult. It would be the greatest feat not just in franchise history but sports history.
I will wait to reserve judgement on this Spurs team once they have played them the remainder of their match ups against Golden State. I won't say the first game against them was a fluke, but the Spurs can definitely play better than that piss poor performance they laid out then. Golden State is the team to beat for the Championship.
Won't top beating the 3 peat Lakers and 2014... IMO
I agree. Nothing will top 2014.
Idk. As good as the Dubs are that 2014 run was pretty damn satisfying. Doesn't help the NBA this year is a joke.
The Warriors would be the Spurs best opponent since the 2001 Lakers, tbh..beating them probably wouldn't be as satisfying as the 2014 run, but in terms of opponent strength, it would definitely be the most difficult since 2001..
Agreed, from a emotional standpoint, 2014 will probably remain forever at the top as long as we're alive, but from an "impressive" standpoint, I think the Spurs dethroning these s enroute to a le would top the list.
Oh if you're looking at it strictly from a difficulty of opponent standpoint, winning this year would definitely be our best le and arguably one of the best of all-time. Chances are we'll have to go through OKC-GS-Cleveland. Two teams that would be le contenders in most years + one of the greatest teams of all-time.
But yeah, when you factor in what happened in 2013, I don't think anything will ever top 2014. That playoff run (Finals in particular) was far and away the best experience I've ever had as a sports fan.
