BTW, not hating on Pop. This roster simply has the same flaws everybody pointed out to start the season. It can’t be that we lose 3 games and we have to tank and Pop has to quit and we win 3 and Pop is the GOAT and this is a contender

As Nono said, without homecourt, the Spurs aren't beating any of those teams (maybe LA) unless they make some kind of transformative trade before the deadline tbh.
I think we could vie for a 3 or 4 seed. We may not be favored but with injuries and rest being key factors, we should not be automatic eliminations from any of those teams. Rockets will be the toughest at full strength but you shouldn't outright dismiss our chances of winning. It would be fun to watch imo.
It's about the team looking so much better on both ends. Derrick white has helped fix those flaws just enough. The ball movement on offense is so impressive to watch. It's so crazy to see what a black hole Danny was on offense.BTW, not hating on Pop. This roster simply has the same flaws everybody pointed out to start the season.

Agree we wouldn't be favored but acting as if we can't compete is ridiculous.
I don’t give them zero chance, but they undeniably would be underdogs. Plus playoffs are a different beast and we already know at least 1 out of our 2 ‘stars’ are not playoff performers, tbh.
Thats just ST being ST. Gotta love it.BTW, not hating on Pop. This roster simply has the same flaws everybody pointed out to start the season. It can’t be that we lose 3 games and we have to tank and Pop has to quit and we win 3 and Pop is the GOAT and this is a contender
It’s largely a new team, tbh, it’s nice to see some growth from within (somewhat expected)
I assume you mean DD. From what you've seen and how they've gelled, DD is also someone you can cheer for and know he can do some damage in the playoffs. He is proven to be an even better rebounder and passer. Great thing about basketball it helps to be multidimensional. Hmm and Aldridge can light it up but also seem to be content with doing whatever the team needs. Albeit they are not perfect but they are getting better and better in this regard imo.
Ex factor for sure is Rudy's health and Derrick White's maturity for sure and the bench obviously. Team will be fun to watch.
Wait until after the rodeo trip - Spurs do well on that I am buying this thread.
Pop is not perfect as a BB coach, also I dont like his political views but the thing is I take him any second of the year over Kiwi .
Actually, it’s LMA that turns into a vagina in the playoffs
Very impressed with Pop and with White both who I have been very critical of. I think we will be fine as long as someone does not ask Pop a question about government or social issues.
As if you could have done betterCrofl, Pop has had a good stretch and obviously he gets a pass here for all he's done and the rough year he's had. But Pop has had a TON of mistakes since 2014 (front office moves included). The Clippers series in 2015 was featured some of the worst coaching moves of his career. He followed that up by getting thoroughly outcoached by Billy Donovan the following year. I already outlined some real head scratchers that he had to start this season.
He should also get lion's share of the blame for the Patty deal and Pau deal.
I've given Pop a ton of credit when it's due and have called him out when he's been ty (the bar should be higher considering he's an all-timer coach). It's something that's lost on this sub because the Pop suckers lose their as soon as Pop gets a hint of criticism. He looked overwhelmed and just not into it at the beginning of the year and I stated that I totally get it if that was the case because of the personal stress he's gone through.
Sure it gets hyperbolic sometimes but that's how this place works, where the have you been
if the spurs in playoff
Long live the great Gregg Charles Popovich, tbh.
Right on Pop!
Lol. Oh. LMA has had some pretty crazy playoff performances. Hes had some bad series too but I like how he has become a better roller to the basket and hustles on the boards a lot more than what Isaw in the past.
As if you could have done better
Pop sucks/Pop is a genius
L/W
Nothing else to see
smh..BTW, not hating on Pop. This roster simply has the same flaws everybody pointed out to start the season. It can’t be that we lose 3 games and we have to tank and Pop has to quit and we win 3 and Pop is the GOAT and this is a contender
This thread is not about the roster just about giving some props to pop for a change. You have an issue with that ? What’s your take he does not deserve some good job coach lately ? It’s one thread among numerous pop lost it and sucks
Also nobody is saying spurs are contenders..
