This Team Is Champion

[K...]

Uh, so do nba teams win at 80% ? Or is it good enough that we stay in the top four. I'd rather this team peak in April then December. SPAM! Y'all kids been spoiled.

Dream scenario TD coming back for the stretch and the Spurs get 6th. Who would you drop
To get TD back though?

"This Team Is A Champion"


Only in a society where "everyone gets a trophy" could something like this ever see the light of day.

The 2011 Spurs opened up 25-3, and had the best record in the league at that point. Some people insisted that it was a "fools gold" team, but others just kept pointing to their record, and the fact that they just kept winning games. Sort of like this season. Actually, EXACTLY like this season.

That 2011 squad was also Champion - except for the part about them losing in the first round.

I think this season will end on a much higher note than the last one. Last season with all those cute little 67 wins and that gaudy pt differential only to flame out on the 2nd round. This season we are getting a lot of wins too but most of them aren't coming easy, I think all this grit and grind is good practice for when the real games begin.

^^^^^^

Although agree that OP meant to put the "a" in there, the le is correct both ways.

The point is that there is a clear strategy for beating them: pound them with inside scoring and rebounding, size, and physical defense. They're an offensive force to behold when firing on all cylinders, yet they have a clear weakness. You couldn't say that the last 2-3 seasons.

With that said, they have 3 guys capable of scoring 60 points in a game, which is ing absurd and unfair. Yet they are beatable. Not only are they beatable; they're liable to get blown out by a team like the Grizzlies if they have an off shooting night.

Its been like that and thats why LMA needs to step his game up and not just in outside shooting.

Still haunted by games like the CHI one.

The Spurs can do this!!!

Legot question, has anyone ever noticed splits ever talking about basketball? ...

I see this team ringin too tbh, first opposing defenses are gonna worry about Kawhi and LMA, then forget about the revived TP, who's gonna be pickin and poppin with Pau all day, who can hit that midrange any anytime, but don't double down low when LMA and Pau get in playoff mode, they'll swing it out to LDN. Then they all get subbed out, other team thinks yea we can rest easy. All of a sudden Dedmon blocks a shot, Ginobili swings it out to Patty for the tre in transition, but don't over play his shot he'll pass to Simmons running through the lane for an Alley Opp. We also finally have that Belinelli/Bonner clutch3/stretch shooter Bertans. That dude is a savage. This team lately has been jumping off the bench playing feisty, even David Lees out their yelling hustling and dunking. This team has got it. Nico hasn't been bad either, I like his aggressiveness and confidence in his shot, he can be a reliable 3rd later on in the season. We dirty this year guys just wait until playoffs. Finally seeing that ball movement that didn't exist last year. Nice to see some fire in Pop and the team as of lately.
