If White stays healthy and builds off this...
If one of Walker or Murray turns out...
We could have a dynasty again.
Murray would be the decisive factor in this series. We desperately need a guard so the Gary Harris's of the world don't go off. We'll get exposed against a complete team but we are really close!

There's no point in tanking. It just brings years of misery most of the time.
Rebuilding year, we are in the playoffs up 2-1 despite the world thinking we wouldn't even make it here.
We've got young guys on the up. White, Murray, Walker, Poetl and two first rounders. Any other team would love to be in this position let alone in a rebuilding year.
I think for some in here winning is a disappointment, because then they can't use the Spurs struggles to vicariously vent their frustration with their own miserable lives.
Philly tanked for years and their still an incomplete team. How many wasted lottery picks did the 76ers screw up on and the picks they did hit ln, Embid and Simmons, don't mesh together at all on the court.

Post of the Year so far.
Things sure have changed since November.
Spurs front office needed to know what they had with players in biggest lights
Agree. Some of these dip s just post stupid for a reaction. And then there are some that ,unfortunately, are just not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree. For a Spurs team that has lost 4 hall of famers, .this is a pretty decent team PATFO has put together, Gasol and Patty excluded
My friend, in the last few years we went from Championship or bust to celebrating the possibility of not being eliminated in Rd 1. Regardless of what White, DJ or Lonnie do we have very few chance competing with the likes of GSW, MIL, HOU or TOR.
But I agree with you in the sense that this year's team is fun to watch, probably to most fun since 2014.
If it meant Zion then I'm all in for tanking!
But I would love for this team to make the WCF. it would shut up all the haters and doubters. Plus any playoff experience for White/Jakob will only help us in the long run.
I hate Pop half the time and marvel at his genius the other half. We are the most spoiled modern fan base in history (along with New England). You’re wrong though - if DJ is what he was supposed to be this year without injury we would be right up there with GS, Toronto and Milwaukee - better than Houston.
Spurs were lucky it was a down year for the West. Gone are the days of getting 50 wins in the West to make the playoffs so they look in turn look more solid than they actually are.
Not to discredit them completely though, if you told me Derrick white was gonna be this good in his second year, I would have felt so much better about the Spurs post-Nephew.
You think the takes are bad in here when we are the 7th seed? Wait till we miss the playoffs, will be epic trolling
Given Tim and Manu retiring, and Tony being traded and Leonard forcing the Spurs to trade him, what exactly where your expectations with this team?
right?! And people want to get rid of Pop. This is one of his best coached seasons, it’s gonna be a dark day when he decides to quit. I know we all question him sometimes, my self included, but he is one of the goats.
Not to mention Embid is always "sore" and injured. He only played 8 regular season games since the All-Star game.
The Lakers will be better next year and make the playoffs. The Suns, Mavs, and Kings will all be better but still not playoff ready. Depending on how free agency goes for the Clippers they could be a better team as well. With all this being said I think the Spurs do need to upgrade their roster during the offseason. Pop has never been known to go after top tier all-stars but maybe there are a couple upcoming free agents worth pursuing?
There were a few bad performances this year, a lot of them happening when White was hurt and DeRozan worn down.
D. White by himself makes this season way more enjoyable.
If the Spurs had not fallen asleep (the bench mostly) for a quarter, the Spurs would be trying to close this out Saturday night.
Beating Denver would be a huge accomplishment this year. That bunch from Denver is not a bunch of chumps. They are a very good team.
I don’t agree. We have number 7 Clippers giving blessed Dubs a run for their money. We at number 7 can arguably beat any team (and has beaten the best teams in the regular season). MVP candidate and former MVP in 6th place. The West is still very compe ive, and East number 2-4 just got a little better.
Again we can’t give enough credit to Spurs development team. Picking the right player is one thing, but helping mold that guy to his best potential is another. Every year. Spurs fan are spoiled and rotten spoiled tbh.
