Whataburger Coma

Spurs coma is more like it.

[weeks]

Aldridge is putting in that work

[Chinook]

I love Pop's reaction to Danny's shot

[Spurtacular]

Manu a much better pre-safety / QB than Parker, tbh.

[TimDunkem]

I mean they are banking on LeBron taking them far. And they're bad, but would anyone be really surprised if they are in the finals again? When you have a legit MVP type player with capable guys, i guess anything can happen. Sometimes that switch can be turned on.

Durant kinda made things ty for a lot of teams, but it is what it is.

Just goes to show that what I said about only two good teams existing right now is right...

Also, if GS didn't have Durant, I wouldn't say the Spurs have a good shot with their current talent level.

[weeks]

everything we do is a foul, wtf

[Hoops Czar]

LMa can't knockdown to successive free throws to save his life.

[NASpurs]

people should rewind it to see it

[bklynspursfan]

Your original point was only Golden State could withstand losing their best player and play as well as the Spurs have. I still think Boston should be added to your list.

Fair enough. I said lose their MVP and win 50+ games (which we haven't done yet but are on pace)

50 games isnt some big accomplishment either, but many teams even mostly healthy with talent haven't hit that mark. In some seasons

[Pocho La Pantera]

Parker smh

GSW sans Durant would still sweep this Spurs team.

Yeah that's who I meant

[Trainwreck2100]

Parker smh

No. For variety's sake we also miss shots.

[Spurtacular]

That 35 ft. jump bounce pass by Tony was godawful.

[TimDunkem]

GSW sans Durant would still sweep this Spurs team.

Agreed, tbh.

We haven't seen this team healthy so we don't know the potential. But i mean if Durant decides to have some compe ive fire and not puss out, it's a much more even playing field. Even if GS does have more talent, they would be a uva lot easier to defend if you take cupcake out the equation.

[Spurtacular]

Rec league player 25 percent from three.

I'd take the lottery pick over the 50 win banner any day. At least that means hope for the future and not a first round embarrassment.

Writing is on the wall, bro. Our best bench player is a 40 year old, we have one playable big against GS, we're basically playing 3 on 5 with our starting lineup offensively, and I could go on...

[Brunodf]

Small lineup but none of them can shoot 3s. ..

[BillMc]

Was the beautiful game only 4 years ago???

[r0drig0lac]

less than 50 wins can lead to drastic measures, this would certainly be the best result
