for the people commenting on the Cavs schedule..again, THEY'VE PLAYED A TOUGHER SCHEDULE THAN THE LAKERS HAVE..
S.A. automatically gets ranked above Utah/Hornets because of their championship pedigree. A team with this much playoff/championship experience qualifies as an advantageous intangible asset.
I have not watched the Cavs this season but I would say,
Celtics
------------
Lakers
Cavs
-------------
Spurs
-------------
Hornets
Jazz
etc

We've got to beat some good times more than once before we can be elite! We beat Dallas in a close double OT game without Stackhouse or J. Howard and got almost beaten by JJ Barea, and we lost to them at home in a blowout minus Manu. We split 2 games with Houston. We got beat at home by PHX. We got beat by Portland in a close one. We barely beat the Clippers. We got embarassed by a suck-ass Detroit team at home. And got beat by Miami at home. We haven't played NO, LAL, Boston, Cleveland. We edged out the worst team in the league at home on 2 days rest last night.
Yeah I'm feeling good about the Spurs too right now, but to say that we are elite? No, not at this point. We need to beat some more good teams consistently and stop losing to inferior teams. That will change in a few weeks.
depends what you consider elite?
Truly only elite teams are Boston + LA.
But if you include top 5 teams. Spurs are #3 in that list.
If the Spurs add a big who can defend and take pressure off duncan we will be elite!
Like Brad Miller?
Brad Miller is one of the worst big men defenders in the NBA..he doesn't help us at all in the way that you guys want..
Bull .
You may put the Celtics on top but considering the additions and subtractions Boston and the Cavaliers have made, Garnett and his goons aren't getting past Cleveland this year.
5San Antonio (8)15-8Off: 110.6 (7), Def: 106.6 (10)
The Spurs have won six straight, including Tuesday's double-OT thriller over the Mavs, and Matt Bonner continues to shoot the lights out. He's shooting .673 during the streak, hitting 12-for-19 from downtown, and now leading the league in three point percentage.
WTF? Bonner leading the league in 3 pt percentage? Over Kapono and Korver????
everyone in the league and those who have been watching already know this. where have you been these past few weeks?5

I dont think they go after him. He is a tuff guy and can hit the outside shots and rebound but I think they need a shot blocker which is not his forte! I doubt we go after anyone of note, and if Ian can provide this then we are likely to stand pat with our current roster.
Mutombo would be a great fit. Hes hard nose, great shot blocker and changer....good rebounder and guys are scared to death of his elbows so thats a plus. He could give us 8-10 min a game that would go a long way.
Total Rebound %
Matt Bonner: 14.4%
Brad Miller: 13.6%
Blocks %
Matt Bonner: 1%
Brad Miller: 1.5%
they also foul at the same rate..
more importantly, you have to factor in the fact that this also counts Bonner's impact earlier in the season when he was struggling..
salary
Brad Miller: $11, 375, 000
Matt Bonner: $2, 978, 000
no thanks..
We are the 2009 NBA champions
Well, there you have it: Brad Miller, the poor man's Matt Bonner.
of course I'm not arguing that Matt is better than him, he isn't..but I wouldn't want to pay that salary for a guy that isn't going to rebound or defend significantly better than Bonner..
Brad Miller is probably the best passing big man in the NBA, but that doesn't really make a huge difference on this team..we aren't missing that, we already have a good passing system with our bigs..
Sorry, I didn't mean for that to come out as a shot at you. More in recognition of all the Bonner love floating around at the moment.
Actually, another great passer on the floor would be pretty sweet, but yeah, not $11 million sweet. An imposing defender in the mold of Mutombo (see other thread) seems more in line with what we need to fill out the team than Miller right now.
