That's working for the Dubs tbh.
At least it's not a 3pt chuck contest.

i hope our midrange chucking system can beat dubs’s 3pt chucking system..
Not a chance, tbh.
Because of the players they have.
Go back as far as you want. Pop has always adjusted to the players he has at the time. Sure it is not always a perfect fit. He has and will put his players in position to utilize their talents. How many years does it take for some of you to see that.
Agreed. Systems are plays to create open shots. And even harder when you’re the one facilitating. Not only is he scoring but also distributing career high assists. And neither is he pushing it. His individual defense is getting better, as well as total team defense. Yes he’s eclipsed my expectations. And his tenacity and hard work should be contagious. I feel he’s not satisfied with just getting good. This guy’s on a mission and would love everyone in the team to be on the same page. I think he is a great replacement, if anyone can replace the big three as far as leadership is concern. As great a technical player Kawhitter was, I don’t think he could rally the team behind him. I feel Demar could and he set by example.
Sure, but all NBA teams do that. What is it that sets the Spur system apart from the others in 2018?
About the System, it could be argued that Pop's major achievement hasn't been so much with players as with coaches. Look around the league and it's like the Spurs under Pop are a dadgum coach factory.
That they have the longest active playoff streak in the NBA, most wins to go along with 5 rings in the Pop era...just that.
DDR is a fully formed player who isn't just a scorer but an underrated playmaker. He's stepped into a team with a major void in both areas and is doing very well so far.
You are kidding right? Spurs only on this situation because Kawhitter and his greedy uncle sabotaged us getting fair trade. But still we landed a sick DeKobe. That’s over 21 years of excellence and counting. Not the Lakers, not the Celtics, or Sixers. But small- ing-market Spurs. You can say we had Duncan. Sure. But Lakers had Kobe and Shaq. How many mediocre years they have within 20 years? Hakeem? 2 championships and because MJ took a break. Malone/Stockton? Zilch. It’s easy to say we had Duncan. But like everyone else, they had a great player or two. 21 years and counting and small market where nobody wants to go. Spurs have carved 5 championships and made a 28th and 49th picks future HOFamers. And that Kawhitter . Who had a vision to trade a coach favorite for a mute who couldn’t shoot? Enough said. Not all NBA team. A lot of people in the position don’t have a clue of what they’re doing, just because they played ball sometime in their youth. Freaking MJ can’t scout. Magic a joke in coaching. Isiah freaking GM? Spurs fans are spoiled.
Right on, I love the Spurs too. But you missed the part where I said that imo the renowned Spur System ended with the end of the Big 3 era. So the question is whether or not the superiority of Spur basketball is still a thing in 2018.
Spurs system is making good decisions against popular judgement, because they know something. Spurs can turn a journeyman Dante to a 3nD serviceable to cover LeBron. Houston rather sign Melo instead because it’s popular. They are 1-4. Philly/Lakers/Bos all could’ve gotten Kawhi with a decent offer. Nope. What’s their standing? Anybody else whose star player jumped ship would have a rebuilding season, Cavs, Heat, Lakers with Kobe’s retirement. Not the Spurs. We’re still winning ballgames, right? Spurs system man.
At the brainwashed masses still reciting this "system" nonsense. It was always about the biggest 3, the same way the Warriors are now. The second those guys are gone, it goes with them.
It's amazing how many people still don't understand that it's mostly about personnel, especially in an increasingly genized league. There are no geniuses and there's a dwindling number of idiots. Most executives and coaches fall somewhere in between and what mostly determines where they're considered the former or the latter, is luck.
Disagree. 21 years of excellence is not luck. Or 29 season out of 30. That’s excellent management. And it’s not merely because of the big 3. Because everybody else at some point had a star player or two. Malone/Stockton, Ewing, Barkely, Iverson, Ming/McGrady, Nash. Zero championships. We have 5. 28th and 49th picks future HOF. GSW has a good running also so far, but wait if they can stay relevant 21 years straight. It remains to be seen. But I’m sure if they could do it too, it wouldn’t be because of luck.

Demar is a very good player and would have played great on any other team.
It's a combination of luck and player developement. Getting Robinson, Duncan, Ginobili and Aldridge, was luck, while Parker and Leonard were a combination thereof. Every time they had one declining, they had another ascending to take the baton.
Sure, they nailed a bunch of things on the margins until '15, but even a lot of that credit goes to the biggest 3 for making it work. Besides, none of it would have mattered without them and later Leonard and Aldridge.
Exactly, as incredible as still today, people who have not even watched 20 spurs games in the last 20 seasons just spew that nonsense , I still have to myself that Kawhi's reason for leaving was his uncle talking about how he would NEVER be recognized as he should be for playing for Pop ( , even Duncan is still placed below Shaq and lmao Kobe in some random rankings and mostly by "new fans"), the system was always Duncan, Manu, Parker and then Kawhi, now it will be Derozan, that's how it works

Budenholdzer is using the "system" to turn the Bucks into a legitimate threat out east... it works when you get buy-in from your star players...
Agreed. That clearly was a factor in Aldridge being disgruntled too.
The biggest 3 were from a different era (technically, Parker is a millennial) and raised in different cultures.
Virtually no millennial American superstar or star, wants to play in a non glamour city, where the coach is treated as the biggest star by the media.
You mean that system nonsense many coaches and players, starting by... Kerr admit having inspired themselves from ?
I'm not sure you realize the influence SA had on the NBA game on and off the court as a whole this past decade.
Unselfish, moving the ball, cutting, good to great shot, accountability... How many times did you hear opponents raving at how SA was moving the ball and disciplined they were when the big 3 was still a thing ?
You gotta have the personal but Pop (and the players) had the intelligence to adapt and went from 4 down to the beautiful game implementing a lot of euro plays and involving everyone. How many coaches would have just sticked to giving the ball to your star and letting him do his thing ?
It seems that YOU didn't watched a lot of spurs game, or rather you didn't SEE them.

Agree.
System? LMFAO!
Watching Kawhi tear the ball from Ben Simmons hands like he was a child on the opening possession of the game still pisses me off, but DeBeast's smooth integration into the offense has made things a little easier to cope with
