    Spurs should always be finding ways to improve. Another year means the big 3 is another year older and the Spurs need to recognize this team is weaker than last year's. To make matters worse, the top teams in the NBA seem to be much deeper so the Spurs' bench advantage just doesn't seem overwhelming anymore (especially with injuries). The Spurs should have learned this lesson in 2008 that standing pat after a championship isn't a good idea. With the emotionally satisfied Spurs, they just don't play as hard and need new blood to inject some hunger back.

    Honestly, it's just how the Spurs operate and it is what gave them 5 championships so I can't be too mad. It also doesn't help that their free agent pitch seems to be the worst in the league. Propensity to want to stay the same and not being able to attract good free agents is a double knockout blow.

    Good thing the Thunder have a chance at landing the 8th seed so if the Spurs stay 6-7th, they only have to face either the Thunder or the Warriors. They're probably equally matched against the Rockets and Mavs and have decent chances of beating the Blazers, Grizzlies, and Clippers. Right now they would not be the favorites against a healthy Thunder and Warriors team.

    7. General decline/falloff/struggles of Parker, Splitter, Diaw, Manu, Patty, and even Leonard. If those guys can pick their games up closer to last year's level we'll be fine.

    What's funny is Duncan is the guy you'd most expect to struggle from age but he's doing awesome.

    "father time" has nothing to do with Leonard and Green becoming less productive, and those are two of our best three players.

    Also, I don't understand why people keep saying that we're not doing well because the team is too old when Timmy and Manu have been doing all the heavy lifting this season. TD just scored 30 pts last night even after participating in the All-Star game. That's phenomenal for a player his age. Manu has been Manu from what I've seen so far... Playing extremely well for a 37-year old. Where is their help? ... Like I said, too soon to tell.
