Spurs: Are the Spurs peaking too early?

[SpursIndonesia]

Many talented teams can morph into a true contender by the time the post season arrives, but IMHO it's the matter of how difficult to reach that "peak" of potential, of being a championship team, that must be assessed.

I mean, we see Dirk lead 2011 Dallas team that run rampage in that year post season, beating other, higher seeded, more favorite teams. That exactly the kinda "reaching the peak" and perhaps even "overachieving" example we can study. Teams with stronger, younger superstars like the Heat and the Thunder, IMHO have the same potential peak with the Spurs, or perhaps slightly higher, BUT their peak is much easier to achieve, compared to the Spurs peak, which has to account the health and steady play of its older stars and the performance of its supporting cast. Even then, the Spurs perhaps must "overachieve" ala that Mavs team to really have a shot in beating a fully peaked Heat or Thunder team.

Just my .02 $.

One thing this team has over last year's team is that they're winning even when the game is ugly and the shots aren't falling. Most of it is due to the defensive improvement, tbh.

Solid back-to-back 30pts trouncing of Rockets-Bobcats, the latter delivered on the road, and this is while missing a starter (Leonard) and a rotation guy (Jack). Duncan playing out of his mind too. Is this sustainable, or the Spurs are just peaking too early?

Wanted to know what non-Spursfan thought, tbh, but comments from anyone welcome.

No, starters playing low minutes and we have a giant rotation of 15 players.

spurs are one of the most consistent sports teams in the world imho, i wouldn't say they've peaked because they always play at such a high level, but your fooling yourself if you think they could get any better come playoffs. the team ain't much better even with manu/kawhi back in top form. what they need to do now is figure out how to deal with monkeyball imho, they have a great team but always seem to struggle against monkeyball for some reason

Spurs are so not peaking. They are simply trying to remain afloat until the whole team is there.

I also hate the way the Spurs match-up with this year's Clippers. Don't really want to see them in the playoffs.

Two classy teams just quietly handling biz, tbh...
