Like all of OP's threads, you have to read this as "how great is Manu, the best ever or the 2nd best ever"?
That said, I would like to thank SAGirl and cutewizard for the best night of my life.
3-ways FTW!
I'm giving Bobo and Patty the benefit of the doubt because 1) Patty has been great in the last two playoffs and 2) Bobo is known to coast. But Danny is concerning, tbh... I was hoping he'll find his stroke by now. If he can get semi-hot, I think we're going to be hard to beat.
come on son, legit thread, tbh... we're 76 games in, this team has been tearing NBA and franchise records left and right...
Just gauging opinions, some people think it's a weak league, some people think nothing matters if we don't win the lobt... all perfectly reasonable opinions
Not legit. Your fawning for Manu made it so. Illegitimate.
Bean counter / Mainstream fan / fanboy. TBFH.
If you like the Spurs, the sharing ball stuff, the beautiful game etc etc it has to be 2014 tbh...
oh and 2014 Spurs would sweep this 2016 Spurs tbh
Same. To be clear, this "rest of the rotation" is like the rich man's version of the '08 one, but the new two aren't as good as the big three were.
I can see both sides of the Green situation. On the one hand, they've accomplished what they have in spite of his poor shooting, so if he catches fire, barring a significant injury, they're probably winning the championship. On the other hand, he's obviously well past the point of a slump and they probably can't win the championship unless he catches fire.
05-06 brought the Spurs up one foul short of a 3-peat. Duncan, Manu, Parker, and Bowen at or near their primes. Finley shot right at .400 from the 3P, and Brent Barry did the same off the bench. Rasho, Nazr, and Fabbs as backup bigs. And Horry for playoff moments.
Out of all that, the presence of a prime Tim Duncan can't be over-estimated.
But this team is pretty damned good.
7th best SG shooting 37% from the field and 33% from 3.
anyone still wondering if ElNono is a ing moron?
He posts more good basketball takes in an evening than you have in your life, and he's been here forever.
You come here promising that the will "skull- " the Spurs. And you want to call someone else a moron? Crawl back in your ing hole.

Best Regular Season Team, for sure.
We'll see how it goes from there.
It's an interesting discussion. We've had the Admiral era, the Twin Towers era, the Big Three era, the Beautiful Game era, and now the Dynamic Duo era (Leonard and Aldridge).
We've seen so many great Spurs teams.
It's hard to say. Any team who wins the ring is the best that year (most of the time). So when a team builds themselves to beat the team to beat, they are the best if they do it. It all then comes down to which other team had a better "team to beat" than the Heat, or the Cavs, or the Pistons, or the Nets, or the Knicks.
Can't say until the playoffs are over, so thus far no.
Better Spurs teams imo unless this year's team wins the le or at least makes the Finals to create the argument: 2005, 2012, 2013, 2014.
The 2014 Spurs just got hot at the perfect time and really turned it up a notch once the postseason came around. Green/Belinelli/Kawhi/Mills/Diaw all shot 40+% from deep that run, and Manu wasn't far behind at 39%.
I've never seen a Spurs team (or any team, really) play at the level that team played at in the Finals. But I don't think that necessarily makes them the best Spurs team ever. Just means they picked the perfect time to get hot.
Yep...part of me feels fairly good about it all, because they've been this good even with Green being damn near non-existent offensively. He can't really get any worse, so it can only get better in the postseason
Just have to hope to that he miraculously gets it together come playoffs. Think I saw him mention in an interview that he thinks the playoffs will help because you're typically more locked in and focused...let's hope he's right. We don't need him to shoot as well as he did in the 2013/2014 runs when he was well above 45%...even shooting 39-40% would be a huge improvement and would do wonders for this team.
Is their D and point differential still NBA record breaking?
Its close but i definitely think this is the best team talent wise.
That's not encouraging if that's his at ude. iT sounds like someone grasping at straws and doesn't know what the real problem is.
no. The Warriors and Spurs have inflated records because everyone else freaking sucks. Have you watched other basketball teams try and play basketball? It's literally almost painful. Teams that are doing semi decent like the Jazz are only doing well because they have the best athletes to out athlete other teams or teams like the Clippers, Thunder, and Cavs have the best players to throw at a situation. When it comes to actual execution and ya know basketball skills the Warriors and Spurs are just so far ahead of what everyone else is doing right now that it's literally not even possible to make a comparison.
D I believe not, I think some previous Spurs teams (among others) were better.
Point differential IIRC yes.
Cheers. Thanks for the clarification.
