and Danny Green hitting like he use to
I know it's a game of what ifs and buts, but a lot of the games the Spurs lost were near the beginning of the season when LMA and David West was still adjusting to the team and learning the offensive sets. With such a big drop off with the rest of the league in terms of talent, do you think the Spurs would have surpassed the Bulls' record or Warriors record for that matter if we had the new additions a year earlier?
and Danny Green hitting like he use to
I think so. A few of our loses early in the season were chemistry/role issues-related even when Danny was worse earlier in the season than he is now (bc Pop experiments had him handling the ball a lot more, while he still was cold shooting and he was very streaky defensively).
No way.
We should have won last year with our old team. Definitely with another big to hassle the LAC frontline. Then we would have been on cruise mode all year.
I mean, if you've lost only 12 games all year (and none at home) with only 6 games to go in the regular season, it's hard to nitpick
no
Exactly, and all these records dont mean anything, at the end of the day the only thing you will be remembered for was if you won the le or not. If the 96 Bulls hadnt won the le, no one would have care about their 72 wins.
So the Spurs going undefeated at home means nothing if we dont win the le, same with the Warriors, 73 wins and no le would be a colossal failure, it would be up there with the 2001 Mariners (116 wins), 2007 Patriots (18-1), and last years Kentucky team.
All of which who are remembered for the wrong reason, hopefully the Warriors will be added to that list.
No. Pop would not let that happen. He avoids records like the plague as he thinks it distracts from the ultimate goal.
Right on with this here.....
If Green hit his shots like he use too than yeah we probably have 3 less losses.
Do you people have lives?
Just win the le this year... Who cares about regular season records...
No, they were gassed from three straight deep runs and beat up, too. Two years earlier, if they really wanted to have pursued it, it would have been close.
Even then, I'm sure the genius would have thrown an unnecessary amount of games just to live up to his shtick and prove that he "doesn't care about records".
Guys, I know it's not about regular season records, and it is solely about the le. But you would have to think that if the Spurs were in this same situation having LMA and David West playing one year in the Spurs system that they could have cut down 3-4 losses and right up there in contention with record and the 1st seed.
