    I thought it was pretty funny too.

    I think it's funny that they lose 1 more game per person they get, but we only go down 3 games.

    Last season proved that we do not have a chance of winning championships.
    Probably it will never happen in San Antonio.

    So just watch and enjoy basketball. No worries about winning or losing anymore.

    This.

    Spurs were destroying teams last season, 20 straight wins and then they ed big time.
    With guys like Blair, Bonner and even Diaw on our frontline we are a joke. Green is another guy that will start playing like crap when another team eliminates his 3pt shooting. Then they don't really have a backup point guard. Neal's PG skills are level amateur and Mills is just an undersized SG. I am also sorry that I don't trust Nando in the playoffs. Next, there is the Tim Duncan problem. We don't know how much will he have in the tank. The same goes for Manu. Right now we have problems with Kawhi and nobody really knows how good he will play after he comes back. So please don't get too upset if this team doesn't win it all.

    Might be high time to trade away some of the major rooks, bishops and knights of the chess board while they still have value for young pieces because this team isn't going to sniff a championship if they can't avoid a consecutive loss to a sub-.500 team no less.
    You're not going to build a championship team this season, however if you want to try, you would have to make some changes. In Tour de France terms, the Spurs are sprinters right now. They need to be climbers with the ability to sprint because when the mountain stages get here, they will fall behind.

    GNSF thread again

    That said the Spurs have had a brutal schedule, yet are still a solid 2nd in the conference (seedings are not determined in December) and that's with their two large wings missing considerable time.

    27 games will be 1/3 of the season. At 24, we are 18-6. By winning 2 of the next 3, we will be 20-6. Right on schedule to winning 60 with a favorable schedule after the rodeo road trip. Starting Feb 27 with Phoenix, we are home basically all but a game in Minnesota. The other road game is a 1 day trip to the far reaches of Houston. Also, only 1 back to back in the entire month. Although the early schedule has been brutal, we get back at Stern in the month of March. When the rodeo road trip comes in at 7-2 and the next 15 games with 13 at home come in at 13-2. That is another run of 20-6 for the Spurs. I wont say they will win 60 games this year, but it will be for sure in the high 50's at the end of the season.

    One other observation, Pop has not been playing Bonner that much this season. Have you ever thought that he might be slowing the start of the season for Bonner so he wont run out of gas be the end of the regular season and disappear in the playoffs?

    It's probably true but there's still that small percentage that the Spurs can pull what the Lakers did in 2009. Every other major contender could have a crucial player suffer a season ending or major injury and the Spurs would cruise to through the playoffs. I think for that year it was Garnett, Nelson, Yao Ming/Tmac, Ginobili, and Tyson Chandler that got injured and either couldn't play or completely sucked when they came back. Combined that with Howard's fluke free throw shooting before the finals to get rid of the Celtics and Cavs, the Lakers were handed a championship. Maybe the Spurs can accomplish the same thing. Just stay healthy and hope someone on each contending team has a fluke injury.

    Spurs
    pushed in by Mo Williams
    pushed in by Lillard
    regular season les
    Bucks
    Regular seasons losses
    Brutal schedule and still second-best record in the NBA
    Spurs would utterly destroy the Jazz and Blazers in a playoff series
    Technically not regular-season champs, as the Bulls had the best record the past 2 years (edging out the Spurs)
    So literally everything you said is wrong or irrelevant
    Dumbass

    Not sure if you're serious?

They need to be climbers with the ability to sprint because when the mountain stages get here, they will fall behind.
    Last year the Spurs stayed back in the peloton early & won 20 games in a row during the "mountainous" stretch. This year, our most "mountainous" stretch (of road games, B2B's, injuries, controversy) is almost behind us. I don't see your point...
