Teams dont know squat. The nba is comprised of low level IQ entertainers, not basketball players. Fans forget this.

We were dominant early in the season last year too.. remember? We had historical defense, 15 points point differential, etc...we have an easy schedule so far that's why we're winning..
Outside of the Warriors,Clippers,Cavs the rest of the league is garbage. So I don't think you can really make the argument about an easy schedule.We were dominant early in the season last year too.. remember? We had historical defense, 15 points point differential, etc...we have an easy schedule so far that's why we're winning..
True, the Spurs have played 2 of their 9 games against that group already, a little less than a quarter, while being a little less than a quarter of the way through the season. That plus 10 out of 17 having been on the road, I'd put the schedule strength at around average right now.
Maybe your right..it looks like the Spurs will win their next 9 games with the streak stop at LA vs the clippers on December 22..they might also lose the game against the bulls or rockets..
I have the Spurs winning in the range of 57-63 games this year if they remain healthy. When they are focused they are guaranteed the win against any team that is not Cavs,Warriors,Clippers. I do expect them to lose some games due to lack of focus which is inevitable and also due to fluky performances by the compe ion.. Also I think Pop will try to lose some games just to teach the team a lesson.
The team is going to go as far as Softridge is going to take them against the Cavs/Duds/Cripples, he has to put up 25/10 in 4 out of 7 games which he's capable of against single coverage.
5th toughest when it comes to strength of schedule prior to the Wizards game.
Good points.
Trying to prematurely absolve Leonard of blame when they inevitably lose to the Clippers or if injury strikes them, the Warriors.
It goes without saying that Aldridge needs to play at least near his capacity to have a chance in a series against the three other elites, but I've never understood when people say, "(insert player) has to average (insert arbitrary numbers) against (insert team)". There's no way of knowing what he'll need to average to beat them.

Some of you seriously would have slit your wrists in the 80s and 90s.

Dummy, I said AT LEAST. Pau is borderline unplayable against the elite teams so the scoring burden is going to fall on Kawhi/LMA as far as the starters are concerned. Last I checked LMA isn't exactly known for his playmaking so he has to at least drop 25 as a HIGH usage player if he's single covered which is basically what he averaged per 36 minutes against the Rockets in 2014 when he had at least 25 in all four of the Blazers victories.
Softridge playing at "high capacity" is him getting buckets, let's not beat around the bushes.

No, you didn't say "AT LEAST" and even if you had, that wouldn't change . Picking arbitrary numbers and claiming a player needs to at least hit that threshold is stupid.
I said his capacity, not high capacity. His capacity entails essentially playing how he did for much of last season. That means quick decisions with the ball, rebounding at a solid rate and playing solid all around defense.
November Parker isn't showing up in the postseason just like he hasn't the past two postseasons, the offense is going to be throwing it to LMA/Kawhi & playing ISO ball every time down the floor sprinkled with PnPs where teams force Porker to be a scorer. That's the reason I said he has to put up 25/10 b/c scoring from anyone else besides Kawhi/LMA is going to be hard to come by in the postseason especially when Patty is going to be exposed on defense thus can't play heavy minutes.
No kidding Crying pussies
