The Perspective Thread

EDIT

We haven't played a single game with our complete roster.

We have been in pretty much every single game we've lost until the end.

It's the end of December.

We're going to bend the league over when we're healthy.

That is all. PS. Cliff divers won't be allowed back on.

This is the key. I hope we can see the team at full strength at some point this season.

we need to go away from belinelli, he is THE cancer. Play Daye more instead, he is way better than him on both ends.

The team was very lucky to have the full roster all three seasons from 2012-2014 by the NBA finals. The Thunder had key injuries 2 out of these 3 seasons in comparison.

If you look at the Heat last season, they were very worn out after three straight NBA finals, Spurs played only one series less last three years and it is showing. A lot of wear and tear on our players, we can only hope they will get healthy in time for the post season.

Posters on this board honestly expect way too much out of a team without 2 of its 3 best players, and arguably its best bench player. Parker's play making takes enormous pressure off Manu. Kwahi's defense takes enormous pressure off Duncan. Mills is the burst damage that triggers blow out's and keeps the starters fresh. This team is where it should be talent wise, without these three playing a brutal schedule. If anything, the back-to-back triple OT games showed scary potential from the Spurs IF they can get healthy later in the season.

I don't know why anyone should be concerned about anything other than health. It has nothing to do with motivation, the team just doesn't have enough to beat elite teams right now. We lost against all the contenders last year as well. The last thing Pop should do is overtaxing Duncan/Ginobili. If one of them goes down for good which can happen easily given their age, it is a first round exit no matter what.

Excellent post. Well said.

We've got a good team this year. you guys won't be laughing when we beat you in our next matchup.

A ing Bucks fan talking ? I've seen it all now.

Spurs are gonna pull a 1995 Houston Rockets. Book it.

Feels so similar, doesn't it?

By the way, thanks for this thread. It is such a welcome change from so many doom-sayers and haters of late, and it is right on. Props to you for starting it.

Perspective - what a concept for Spurstalk!

The Spurs will win the next ten games.

We probably aren't going to win the next 10, but 8-2 would be very possible. And , if we beat Memphis, who knows? Patty coming back certainly seemed to give our team some energy out there tonight.

One thing you gotta love about this Spurs squad: They feed off each other. When anyone gets going the entire team rallies. If Parker is penetrating and getting easy buckets early it usually leads to a lot of good things. If Duncan goes to town on the inside guys really step up on D. Tonight Cojo and Patty seemed to really kick our guys into another gear. They definitely like each other more than SpursTalk likes them.

Spurs aren't moving the ball like they did at the end of last season. They look stagnant at times, not like the Spurs offense at all. Defense isn't good either, allowing way too many points. Championship hangover perhaps, hard to motivate guys to win again. Still, by the time the RRT comes, we'll have a good gauge of where we are.

[Pocho La Pantera]

We'll lose to Houston, and THEN the win streak starts

nostradamus on fire.
