"Things to do" to successfully defend your le!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I think this season's start has been almost ideal for the Spurs. They certainly haven't played great basketball on a consistent basis thus far, but they've managed to beat the teams that they're supposed to beat (for the most part) while making their way through a relatively soft schedule. Absent a hideous December/January (like 06-07) the Spurs should reach the All-Star break in fairly good shape in the standings and the SPAM peak won't be a mad rush to get re-involved in the HCA sweepstakes; they won't be just making up ground at that point.

I would generally agree that HCA isn't that significant to these Spurs, but I do think positioning could be terribly important. If you're #1, you likely avoid having to beat both Phoenix and Dallas to win the West; if you're 2-5, you might have to beat them both. I certainly think the Spurs can do just that, but I think the chances of a repeat increase if that path can be avoided.

When I open a thread there are often times that I begin to formulate a response in my head, and as I proceed through the posts, and at about the time I'm about to begin to type out my thoughts, I see something written by FWD who manages to articulate my ideas on a matter perfectly. So, I'm basically left with nothing to write except:





Uh....err...ummm...what FWD said! That's the ticket!

You do realize that FWD is just stealing SpursDynasty's material.

Hey, is this dude the former Lakergod or possibly Wolvsie009?

[ShoogarBear]

No, according to the Mav guys, he's a Rocket fan who used to post on their boards who poses here as a Laker fan.

I find it all very confusing.

Me too.

Props - only that fall is not one that could have been faked, IMO.

Doubt if he faked it too, but he should use this as a means to get some extra time off.

And here I thought I was channeling Hubie Brown . . . .

You gotta admit...his prophecies were pretty good.

Found it funny he said he rarely posts here...and has over 1,000 posts

Still, he's earned his props.

I meant in this forum. I have posted a little here since this last topic but normally i post in the NBA forum.

The Mavs were a fluke team. I won't post in this forum for two months if they get out of the first round.

I normally do not post here or read here for that matter, mainly because I can’t stand you 4 time NBA winning, gloating assholes! My hatred is out of respect and a terrible feeling inside wishing, I were you!

I’m going to give you some pointers on defending your le. Obviously you know nothing about it, you’ve never defended any of your les! This is what the Spurs must do,

1. The spurs must not go all out during the regular season. Pop should stick to a deep rotation to give players like Bowen, Gino, Finley, Duncan and Horry, Barry (damn, better bring a case of geritol) plenty of rest in the regular season. The best record in the league or the division should be farthest from the Spurs mind. Of course they want to win and it will be a different ballgame with teams now looking for a win against them every night but stick to your rotation regardless. The spurs should not care if they are a 1,2,3 or 4 seed. It really doesn’t matter. Everyone healthy and not tired is the key.

2. They should feature Tony Parker early this season. He has the youngest legs of the team. He should average 37-40 minutes a game. Fatigue will not be a problem with him. Put Timmie in role player mode.

3. They should fake an injury for Tim Duncan and give him at least a month off early in the season. Around November or December. Give Gino some time off as well. You don’t have to worry about Horry, he will automatically pace himself.

4. Free Tim Donaghy!

Have a Great Day!

Damn Pop finally listened to someone who knows. Follow the Lakers formula to repeat. Good Job!

Merry Xmas!

Compared to parts of last season, the success against teams they're supposed to beat is a refreshing change.

Yeah, I remember one particular loss to the freakin' Bobcats...

At least they're not making us suffer through that misery again!

Got damn it! Who forgot the GERITOL?? You're Screwed!
