    Honestly I think all of the gloom talk about how bad our players have been is kind of hilarious considering the Spurs are arguably the top defensive team in the league right now.

    We've allowed the fewest PPG in the league, we're 5th in opp FG% and have held opponents to 27.5% shooting from outside the arc. Given how injured we were to start the season, it's safe to say that this team has been playing out of it's mind on the defensive side of the court.
    I agree, but the Spurs of the previous 2 years ranked in the top 3 in defense, along with being a top-level offensive team(they are currently ranked 24th, which is completely unexpected)..

    If they can get the offense together, which should be a lot easier with Mills, Belinelli and even Splitter(his screens and pick&roll ability), this should easily be the best chance for a repeat, barring injuries IMO..

    Agree on the repeat. No one else in the NBA really even looks that impressive outside of perhaps Memphis. If Golden State is healthy I think they'll be tough but we match up with them perfectly and Green/Curry Leonard/Klay really limits that team.

    It might be the homer in me, but I think with the exception of opening night against Dirk and Co., this team has been really pacing itself. After the ridiculousness of last year's le run, it's probably pretty hard to get up for the games and really fight for rebounds that just don't mean that much. If we get to late January and we're still on a 7-4 pace, that will be concerning, but for now I just want our guys to stay healthy and work on their shot. I think they're probably looking a bit down the road as well.

    IIRC, December is usually a tough month for our team, and we have a ton of games (18?) that month. That will be a tough test but if we go into the playoffs with a top 3 seed we're going to play a lighter schedule in the late part of the season.

    Ginobili, Leonard, or Duncan have all been pretty good. Parker and Green have been awful.

    Especially since he can't jump much anymore. All length, timing and brains there.

    TD but Splitter's absence has been enormously felt in each game, especially against the Kings, and I'm sure TD misses him more than anybody.

    I'm glad the three game home stretch is coming up. Tim sure could use the rest against Brooklyn.

    Pop is, and always has been, the true MVP of this team, tbh.

    Yeah especially when he subbed Duncan out twice when all we needed was a championship-clinching rebound.

    Tee hee
