Patience

[Chucho]

I was dead serious about making a serious post here and engaging in real discussion and then you see these Lemmings threads everywhere and then you realize there isn't anything serious or authentic in regards to discussion here. Sadly, and sometimes not so sadly, this place is only good to be a closet racist and talk .

[ElNono]

Hopefully you die after the jump from the cliff. I would hate for you to be able to post again in such cry havoc fashion

I'm going to be here supporting whatever version of the Spurs comes next... I have nothing but love for the team, tbh. Unlike you...

We all deal with grief in different ways, but yours is very negative.

I've been saying this since a season or two ago, tbh... I'm dead serious and don't be mad when you look back and realize "damn, this niglet knew what he was talking about"... just PM me, it's all good.

I'm the first guy that wants to be wrong about this, tbh, I just don't see it, however...

I don't forget OP. I expect a whataburger of my choice and a sorry PM. Bookmarked.

[Uriel]

They're unquestionably a top 4 team in the L, but more of a fringe contender, along with healthy Clippers tbh..

Top 4? Who's #3?

fair enough, I don't welch, tbh

[tmtcsc]

The Spurs will be back because of what Tim built.

Top 4? Who's #3?

pacers look to contend tbh

Contend for what? the 5th seed?

[HankChinaski]

This is le contending team. With each new season there are pluses and minuses to be had with the changes or lack thereof in changes.

Team is grtting younger and more athletic. Losing Duncan is tough as a Spurs fan, but on paper what the Front Office have brought in so far this off season looks terrific on paper.

Training Camp and Preseason will paint an idea what they are looking at with cheap contracts to fill out holes at the bottom of the bench. Will have to wait till late December early January to paint a picture of this upcoming roster. I am liking what I am seeing and it builds hope for contending for a le. Not a sure thing but better than being a lottery team or the Milwaukee Bucks.

[HankChinaski]

Grizzlies spent a lot of money this off season. But they are taking bets on Parsons and other additions. If they get those guys to gel and Gasol comes back healthy they will be a formidable team. Flawed but formidable.

Kiss me you fool.


All you people outside of SA who hang with this team will receive a profound vision of rapturous consciousness upon your passing. I guarantee it.

Oh.

And Manu is back so we still got some leadership in a grounded personality.

ready to trade a 22 year old for cash considerations because he was bad against Kevin Durant

Top 4? Who's #3?

Spurs or Cavs, but I could see the Clippers being in the mix, if healthy..

[Spurminator]

We'll hover around 3-6 seed for a few years, fans will irrationally lose patience and assign a "choker" label to Gasol/Aldridge for not being Tim Duncan, and they will eventually call on Pop to retire after a first round exit.

After 19 years of being the most spoiled fans in the NBA, humility will take a few years to regain.

[TheGoldStandard]

Spurs get the 2nd or 3rd and get to the Western Conference Finals.. they probably lose but it's a good way to build on the years after Tim..

[Mikeanaro]

Let's be real though, the pieces we lost so far (Boris, Boban, West) didn't contribute much to our regular season success. Sure, Tim Duncan will be hugely missed for his defense and leadership, but I still see the Spurs at least contending. Of course, Golden State probably win the next two or three finals, but the Spurs are in no way tanking or rebuilding.

Easy there, they could not even win 2 in a row.

122 million views! I had forgotten about this song 'til I was about to post it. Then, I saw you had.

[Mikeanaro]

We should never trade Paul George

[emanueldavidginobili]

The Spurs aren't officially contenders because 40 year old Tim Duncan retired? We have one of the top 5 players in the world. Who knows how much better Kawhi is going to be this upcoming season. The Spurs will be a top 3-4 team in the NBA.

[cutewizard]

When you have one of the top five players in the game at SF in Kawhi Leonard , THE Lamarcus Aldridge at PF , the head of the snake Tony Parker running the point and Paddy Mills coming off the bench, you're a contender. I'm not even mentioning players like Kyle Anderson and Jonathan Simmons who've I've heard are having another terrific Summer League and improving , Bertans and LJC. That's 60+ wins and a WCF's appearance easy.

Plus Pau Gasol, who arguably is the best player born outside the US
