Spurs won 67 games despite...

[Kikoluna]

Three guys helped made that possible:Anderson, Boban, Simmons. Anderson was the most significant bc he started games for both Timmy and Kawhi and was instrumental in wins we were understaffed increasing his production. Along the way, he's averaged over 20 minutes per game since Timmy went down with the sore knee and has gotten better all through the season. He remains a very underrated player by a lot of fans but if not for him, our win record would be reduced. His versatility was key to fill in holes wherever they sprung.

He's not a Diaw look alike, he's his own kind. And he will help us to a championship too.

Usually you have respectable thoughts but considering Kyle as a useful member is your first odd opinion. He plays like your or me except He Is taller. He has no business in the nba.

I can't say I'm very confident about a matchup with them. You really can't keep Duncan on the floor against them and they have so many long wings to throw on Kawhi. They have really shut him down in their matchups this year. Mills is virtually unplayable against them because Curry will keep getting screens for open threes and Livingston can just post him all day. And Danny Green not being able to hit a three is extremely concerning. I mean beating them is doable if Green gets hot from the three point line or if Curry turns an ankle and is say 70% for 2-3 games, but Curry being able to stroke 35 footers is unheard of. There is no real defense for that. My best guess in a matchup (assuming health) is Warriors 4-1. I mean this is an incredible Spurs team, I can't believe they won that game in Dallas that the Mavs obviously wanted badly, but I don't think anyone matches up well with these Warriors. I think I'd give the Spurs a 20% chance in this series based on how ty Green's shot has been this year. But every other team in the league I'd give a 0% chance at Golden State in a series, assuming health.

agree

ST is full of cucks and cliff jumpers tbh. success has made them spoiled and overly dramatic

You're right but dammit at least we're not lakers or heat "fans." At the same time, who the was a warrior fan before a year ago?

Side question: the whole cuck thing started cause of blake right?

[SpursFan86]

If Green finds his shot, I give us a 40% chance of winning a series vs. GS. If he doesn't, that goes down to 15-20%

Otherwise known as the millennial Spurs "fans" that have no perspective and comprehension of the suffering experienced before '99.

This team could have easily won 70 games if it wanted to..Imagine the Warriors record with similar handicap ..

Who cares how many game you win if it doesn't change the seeding?

Spurs could have won 65 in 2013-14 but they had the #1 overall seed so it's pointless to chase regular season wins.

It's all bout dat switch

* best player missing 10 games (I keep waiting for Kawhi to play 75 games in a season )

* defensive anchor missing 21 games (Duncan led league in DRPM)..

* top playmaker and bench glue guy missing 24 games..

67 games won when the top 3 team leaders in RPM missed a combined 55 in' games (not to mention Pop indulging in his rest shtick with other key players like LMA/Diaw)...

The most important thing that people keep forgetting is that the Spurs haven't missed a step since acquiring LMA and David West. Other teams need a whole season to adjust and fine tune their offense, defense, and tinker with lineups (just ask the Heatles). The fact that the Spurs are just as good defensively with Aldridge laying significant minutes on the floor speaks volumes about what the Spurs are capable of.

Facts!!

I think Duncan is the key to winning the series. We can't match the Warriors on the perimeter, but they are no match for San Antonio in the post. The Spurs have given them that match because we haven't taken advantage of our big men the way we should have. I'd like to see San Antonio use Duncan like this was 10 years ago and pound Green and Bogus putting both into foul trouble. Duncan might be old and not the same player he was 10 years ago, but he is still crafty and has the moves to get his shot off and force the opponent to foul him.

Leoanrd missing games has more to do with Popovich's overprotection. I say only 5 or 6 losses is what we really should have had.

You think we should've gone 76-6...?

[Dingle Barry]

Can't beat GSW with Parker and Green doing impressions of 2001 Porter and Ferry.

[james evans]

YES!!! There were games in which popovich just didn't care. First game of the season in which parker was getting raped by Deon Waiters, he should have put him on the bench in the 4th. Clipper game in which Leonard sat out. Warriors game in which duncan and Diaw sat out. Charlotte game in whic we were up 30-7 and popovich pissed it away. Thunder game in which he rested the starters. Denver Game in which he rested the starters(and Duncan turned the clock back).Should I go on? But we know by now, we don't play for the regular season.
