Best Spurs team in franchise history?

[steeledl]

We are too weak at the shooting guard. Don't have a decent one on the roster.. which is why I can't put this team over the 2007 or 2014 squads.

[Seventyniner]

Definitely the best Spurs team ever through 76 games. That's all we can compare.

2007 spurs is one of the 3 weakest champions in the last 16 years.

Easy there, the Spurs barely beat a Toronto team without their top two stars and them coming off a back-to-back in Memphis..

uh? We have the #4 and #7 best SGs in the league... granted, it's a position that has been pretty weak league-wide over the last few years...

Dunno about weak, but definitely easiest run...

[SAGirl]

Ring or not, this has been one of the most memorable Spurs regular seasons, and a great team.

Kawhi's #2 MVP run, LMA the best FA of the world looking so adapted to Spurs environment/culture and playing so good, DWest...LOVE him, Boban, Kyle, all the new guys, and the best part...still seeing Tim and Manu on the court.

^This Kawhi has been spectacular number 1 factor and healthy most of the season.
We have more depth than we have ever gotten. So much so that we cut two guys that are NBA players to get better ones.

It is a bit nostalgic bc it's the real twilight from Timmy and Manu, and we have some young rolplayers developing that are not all they can be or will be in coming years.

It might be blasphemy and I apologize ahead of time since I didn't see that team, but it reminds me of 2003 Spurs when MVTImmy carried a Spurs roster with some about to retire best and then youngsters Tony and Manu.

Here MVPKawhi and LMA are carrying a kind of similar roster. Feels like a blend of old & young.

Bottom line we are unlikely to have this much talent jumbled together.

We need to register the team in its proper historical place.

Idk if you can go by the Lenovo Stat alone... what about WS/PER?

we're 76 games in... best start in franchise history, NBA record for wins at home, most franchise wins... it's not about the last few games... sample size is pretty big

You just discredited that metric. That's all you did there.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Dunno about weak, but definitely easiest run...

Thanks to the Warriors, tbh. So even if we lose to them this year we can always be thankful for basically gifting us a ring that year. Right?

[pgardn]

Regular season.

Who knows.

You're right. That year was so ty.

[Sean Cagney]

2014 Spurs was great

Unbeatable that post season sides the hiccup in round one, they were on a tear from game 7 on.

[YGWHI]

your ty committee doesn't provide enough offensive firepower to win that series

Stop acting like Patty was against Clippers last playoffs...Or like Manu didn't have good games this season...And Danny is called Icy-Hot for some reason, he can on hot streaks too...

My committee is made up of champs, Spurs champs.

[ElNono]

dunno how to get the splits by position...

[ElNono]

You just discredited that metric. That's all you did there.

Well, let's see your metrics...

[SAGirl]

That team was certainly more pleasant to the eye, and the last memory of it, destroying the Heat is obviously indelible...

But, they weren't the juggernaut this team is, nor they were setting these kind of records or winning this much, tbh...

I really do think that if the Dubs weren't out there winning a ridiculous amount of games, we would be talking much more highly about this team, IMO.

Good point.

[PopTheGOAT]

I don't think so even if they ring. They don't move the ball anywhere near as well as they did in 2014.

Gotta wait till playoffs to make that judgement, tbh. That team didn't even look that great until the playoffs in 2nd round.

[sasaint]

10 - 15 - 20 years from now fans will recall in awe the season that we had Tim, Tony, Manu, LaMarcus and Kawhi on the roster. Memories can definitely over-glorify the past, but the amazing roster and the historic accomplishments will place this team right at the top, if not the top.

Imagine if we did get the 41-0, though

Here's PER:

First answer me this, do you think we have the 4th and 7th best SG's in the NBA?

I think we have at least one in the top 10... SG has been a weak position league-wide, tbh... that's why it hasn't hurt us that Danny has struggled.

2014 team would squash this team like a bug. Don't get caught up in regular season nostalgia. The league is historically bad and the Spurs and Warriors are reaping the benefits. It's tough to put this team ahead of 2014 Spurs when their best road win on the season was probably Detroit.
