Classy type, of course . . .

I like your plan. Lets blow this mutha a up. Somebody get RC or Pop on ST!
I hated the last couple of years a lot more....
This season Pop appears to have found some kind of "sense" again....don't know if it will last and don't know if it makes them a true contender - but at least I enjoy watching the games again.
Last season or two - it was painful, frustrating and infuriating to even watch a game and see Pop with his bull "small ball" and "Bonner-ball" rotations.
I remember when these sorts of threads were popping up in early 2007 and so many thought that the Spurs simply could not possibly compete for a le unless a trade was made; Corey Maggette was the apple of Spurs Talk's eye back then.
Obviously, that 2007 Spurs team was never going to win anything without a major overhaul that included the acquisition of Maggette.
Good times.
Pretty much... everyone counted out TD and the Spurs for being too old and everyone though the Celtics would win their division because they were one game away from the Finals... now look who's the real TOSB
The Thunder are, actually.
AS CAPABLE ? Do we still have a prime Duncan or Ginobili ? Damn peep are way high in their expectation, and set themselves up for disappointment.
Can't you see that our team current top play is supported by a very high level of TEAM play, yet the NBA is still a superstar players league. It's quite evident that the Spurs role players were shriveled in the post season, and that's the doom of this old superstars team. Our role players hit their AVERAGE shots in the playoff, and we would have won last year, no doubt about that.
I truly, TRULY, believe this team if it plays like they're capable can win the NBA le. It may take a load of lucky breaks and maybe an injury or suspension, but sometimes the stars align. Winning a le is extremely hard dude, you guys are not real Spurs fans if you can't support one of the best teams in the NBA because they don't have LeBron James
Truth. We know the odd is ultra slim, yet ing like they're bonafide le challenger ala mid 2000's Spurs ?? LOL.
To answer your question, I'm a BNSF that created his account way too late unfortunately, tbh.
Guys, relax. The Spurs aren't "getting bullied" by the good teams, we've lost some close games while minus both of our SFs. Even Green and Ginobili ended up missing a bit of time after they had to play extra minutes in replacing them.
Those types of losses don't mean . Yes, we've lost a few games even with our full roster. . . but does it matter? We aren't going to go 82-0. The Spurs are still on pace for 61 wins despite statistically having the 2nd toughest schedule in the NBA so far and having to play through injuries.
Spurs are also still power ranked #1 in Hollinger's rankings even after the 4th game in 5 nights blowout loss at NY. They're even up by a comfortable margin too.
I can understand being a bit down about the season because of the mini losing streak the Spurs had at one point. . .but dude, book ending that mini losing streak was two big winning streaks. The two sets of b2b losses we had were also road b2bs against pretty good teams. Not entirely surprising we lost them when we were missing key guys. Only one of the games wasn't close anyway. It isn't like the Spurs have been getting hammered all season.
Spurs are fine. Our team will not be favorites to win the le again like they were last year, but they are going to be a top 5-6 contender again. No reason to act spoiled like Lakers fans. The Spurs have a real shot to win even if it's not as good as last year.
OP be trippin.
This is the best roster we've had in years. Yes, we need to make one move involving moving some of our depth for a higher quality big to come off the bench (I'd target Varejao or Ilyasova), but I think this team has Finals potential. Their chemistry is off the charts, the O is explosive, and the D has improved from last season. I'm confident we can beat the Clippers in the playoffs (early season losses mean nothing, and they are weak in the 4th relying on CP3 to make all the plays), and I think we're a coin toss against OKC just like we were last year, although without Harden they are less dangerous.
Things are looking pretty damned good to me, especially since a few years ago I figured we'd be cellar-dwelling in rebuild mode right now.
the clowns u listed would need jax in the trade to get it to match salary wise, most of the clowns on the bench are earning like 3m or minimum...OP be trippin.

I think straight up we could be them in a 7 game series. Their PF-C rotation is a joke, only Bosh has an a P.E.R of 15 or better (22.1 to Splitters 20.2) . Haslem ,their second best big, has a lower P.E.R Than Jackson, Blair, Bonner, Splitter, & Diaw.
Then again, Lebron is about all of the team your really need.
the best kind of fan, obviously
I'd take a healthy Spurs team over the Thunder minus Harden in a 7 game set. Regular season means nothing, and we're better this year than we were last year by a pretty substantial margin.
Wow. I can't believe some of the I read in this forum. I've been watching the spurs since 1987. I watched in anticipation when they drafted one of the greatest big men of all time in DRob to then watch the Spurs fail year after year after year to put a great team around him. We were one of the teams that had never tasted a le. Ever. Winning the Midwest Division le and keeping it out of the hands of the Utah Jazz was a big deal. The Spurs have been an absolute beast since Duncan has been here, spoiling fans like you and me with 4 les and multiple playoff runs and you're going to about the roster now? This team was supposed to be done a few years ago. DONE. They put on a show for you and me last year that no one expected. It was awesome to watch. Parker is a top 3 point guard, Manu is turning into Manu again and Duncan is probably the best big man in the league this year. Sit back, shut up, and enjoy the chance to get to call the Spurs "your" team. Fans of most other teams would revel in the chance to have what Spurs fans have had for so long.
Preach!
I would take the Thunder simply because if it's ever a close game, which playoff games tend to be between somewhat between even teams (unless it's OKC ing down the Spurs in the WCF like 2012), Kevin Durant will always play well. He's unstoppable.
As a fan of a soccer team that has been demoted to Serie B and C in it's league at times with its fans sticking with the team as it always fights to come back up and win big (we're on a high note right now and I'm loving it), nothing annoys me more than ing fearweather, en led, championship-or-bust type of fans. you all.
