82-0
Just curious what you all think our team would look like right now if Dejounte was not out this year. What's the ceiling for that Spurs team?
82-0
Meh... 3 more wins at best
Hypothetical pointless question
I mean, I don't think so, really. It's interesting (to me, anyway) to speculate about what could have been, and maybe gives some insight into what next year might be like. But no one is forcing you to think about it if you don't want to.
With Jilly on the sidelines like eva Longoria
+45w
I miss Jilly. Maybe they’ll get back together in another life when they are both cats.
Very good. Because I guarantee you that what’s missing on this team is someone with his vocal leadership that would get the best out of the team to get through crucial moments in games. I know he’s young but he’s the type to make other players not want to slack off. Missing that badly.
Second best team in the West tbh. I called out a lot of the western teams before this year started bc I knew they were all extremely flawed. We actually have a modern NBA team ( I know the haters are shocked) if we had the combination of a healthy Murray, White, and Walker at the start of the season. Along with Metu being drafted and Jakob doing the dirty work out there, this roster looks really well put together... Once we draft a small forward lol. But I knew Houston and NO would regress. I knew butler wanted out and that would weaken the Wolves. Portland is still the Guests and the Lebrons can't guard anyone or make 3s consistently. His injury I feel really did cost us a chance at the western conference finals.
Honestly this team would be soooooo good on the perimeter defensively with White and Murray. Murray looked like he was on his way to becoming a solid spot up shooter.
Murray
White
DeRozan
Gay
Aldridge
Would do some damage. Easily 50+ wins.
This, plus the defense would be MILES better than it is now.
2nd best team in the West.. easily
Oh yeah definitely! Can’t believe I forgot to state his defense.
Last years Murray would make this a 50 win team. Based on what was coming out of camp pre-injury, he probably would’ve been the second best player on the team after DeRozan. Then add a healthy Gasol and Walker... who knows?
Who knows, but I agree that he would bring vocal leadership and defense, and probably ignite players to give more effort. Also it would be way more fun to watch just to see what Murray can do.
If he had developed a shot, court vision, dribbling and passing skills over the summer I'd say the Spurs would have 6 more wins right now. If we had last year's version of Murray we might be a game or two better off at this point. His defense is missed, but a lot of his game was a liability on many nights.
his offensive rebounds and his agility are incredible, I still watch his HL from last season sometimes
I doubt opposing backcourts would average 40-50 like they do against Forbes/Mills though
Almost every thread on this website is hypothetical. It's kinda what basketball fans do.
Three more wins would mean a record of 17-11, instead of being a .500 team, which would put the Spurs in the 6th spot, 2 games out of first. I think that would be a pretty big deal.
Murray was being groomed to be the starting point guard for the spurs. He now has some playoff experience and motivation to get better.
Those playoffs were hard to watch and i think it pissed him off that the Warriors had no respect for him leaving him so open. He seems to know what parts of his game he needs to improve on. Looked like he was making good progress in all the key areas during the summer (offensive game and a corner 3). Add onto that he was the vocal leader and defensive anchor of the team even being one of the youngest.
I think its safe to say we would not have stumbled so hard and kept a positive w/r through the season.
Spurs are not just missing his play and production and D. He was an upbeat, positive and optimistic leader. All the injuries, on top of the departure of our veterans, have made the team discombobulated with no definite iden y, and chemistry is very fragile. I think we'd easily be top 4 in WC.
Awesome! Another second round exit with 1 game pity victory against GSW
