Best Spurs team in franchise history?

[Hoops Czar]

Kawhi's team two years in a row managed to beat a defenseless piece of dog Grizzlies team and that's it. Congrats to the Spurs new hero.

ElNn with another massive failure

The Western Conference is much worse this year. The Spurs took advantage in the RS. But this is the playoffs and there's not much you can do when the Thunderefs decide to show up.

Cant blame the refs our team the bed period

This Spurs team couldn't hold a candle to 2013 or 14, or 2005 and 2007.

And '99 and '03 were better than all the ones you mentioned.

You can blame the refs for one game, but the last two fourth quarters are on the Spurs. It's like .4 or the backdoor sweep by the Thunder. Somehow the team just lost their heart and stopped showing up.

why don't you read the OP, tbh? Nobody guaranteed a championship.

As bad as they look right now, they hold the record for wins in franchise history.

That said, in hindsight, 2014 was better, no doubt about it in my mind, and probably 2003 with a young team too.

wont even make the conference finals

didn't even make the playoffs



That core doe

[spursistan]

I would argue this team isn't even better than the 2012/2013 ones who lost in WCF/Finals...

Folks tried to downplay their mediocre performance against the league elite, but it was a harbinger of their fool's goldeness..

[spursistan]

IMO..this is the 2004 team all over again..a great defensive squad with an inadequate 1-2 offensive punch..Kawhi/LMA being the 2016 TD/Parker..Nobody stepped up after Phil adjusted to TP penetration and here the same story LMA slowly fading after G1/G2..

2014 team team .

ElNono just covers all boundaries. For everything he says there is an exact opposite thread he's created somewhere lost within the forum.

Edit: Sorry ElNono, I confused you with Hater

it's all good. But, some people need to reconcile the "OMG this team won a franchise best 67 games" with the trainwreck that was the OKC series, tbh...

Either this team was historically great or the NBA was just a mess that fooled us all... pretty clear in hindsight it was the latter...

2016 = San Antonio Trailblazers.

This team would have been great had Duncan not screwed his good knee up. I still don't think they would have beaten Golden State though, this year's Warriors is the nastiest team I have seen in more than 30 years following the NBA religiously.

Agreed

A lot of it is being healthy at the end of the year.

6 weeks ago...

In 2014 or even 2013, the Spurs won games against good teams like Bulls, young GSW...resting the Big 3.

Sadly, our 2016 supporting cast isn't as good as I thought.

This was our biggest issue in playoffs.

The Spurs sacrificed depth last summer...It didn't end well.

The alternative to that though is also terrible (splitter, cojo stay, everyone else gets older)

The offense would still be kawhi iso.since cojo isn't a great ball handler, but at least he's not Parker right?


For a season in which we are transitioning, it was ok, second season, several records, losing in the second round.



It was only a disappointment if you assume this was a send off season for the old guys

[SAGirl]

I stated this somewhere else but this felt like a transition year to me. We overachieved in the RS in the back of a historic defense, but offensively, we had a Frankenstein of a team: a mish-mash of what the old spurs were with another mish-mash of what they want to be. Not quite one thing or the other.
