This thread is SOOOO 2006.
no one is bashing me now? wow, you are all a bunch of hypocrits!
The Spurs or Mavs will be in the Finals. Suns have no chance without any defensive philosophy, and the clipps aren't in the same area. Just a hint - you don't base playoff predictions on how teams play in December and January. Any good team is going through the motions to pace themselves for a late run. An 82 game season makes you do that if you want to be fresh in May
cool down guys a rotation of duncan elson bowen manu tony bonner finley is still as good as anyone. Now i agree spurs are age'in maybe the wind has taken another way..but we won't know until the play-offs tim manu and the whole spurs ups their level with elson last year we would have probably beat the mavs..
I couldn't believe I was watching the Spurs playing Chicago yesterday. Our Spurs were flatfooted (and standing still) on drives to the basket by the Bulls guards. There was little enthusiasm, that is until there were less than 2 minutes to play and we are down by 10. I'm a little concerned over whether or not Bruce's defensive ability compensates for his 3 to 5 points per game. Shouldn't we be getting more from the 3 position?
Alright, so I'm a little worried. Still, I have faith in this team. It's still Pop, TP, TD, Manu, and a lot of other players who I am sure have pride.
We'll come back, and prove all the expert prognosticators wrong.
Dude nobody cares. You are such an attention .
Everyone is aware of the fact that this current spurs team isnt winning any les anytime soon.
Go to the Mavs or heat forum.
I dont get why trolls hang around here and make such lame attempts at getting under spur fans skin.
Besides, its still football season and good games are expected this weekend.
Not everyone, shoot.
Most sane people.
I only say that because the team to beat in the West is dallas.
Barring injury to Dirk, the reality of it is, San Antonio cant beat Dallas in a 7 game series.
At least, not with this team.
If Elson recovers and TP, Manu, and TD play at an elevated level then a win is possible.
If the '99 Knicks could beat the #1 Heat with an obviously inferior team and make it to the finals - this Spurs team could beat the Mavs. The difference is they don't have the luxury of playing at any level less than optimal if they want to win.
I think the Mavs would have to have Dirk, Howard & Harris healthy to beat a fully healthy Spurs team in a playoff series. I think they could withstand not having any of the other guys and still win though.
I still think it's a bit odd that some of you really think Elson is the key to guarding Dirk and/or beating the Mavs.
He had a nice game overall in that season opener, but really... Oberto had a dominant first half against the Mavs last week and nobody's claiming that he is the key to beating the Mavs.
I really think the Spurs need to look elsewhere if they're looking for the key piece to helping them match up better with the Mavs. Elson has great length and athleticism, but the statistics (see popcornmachine.net) indicate that Elson actually had virtually no discernible effect on Dirk's performance in that game.
It's not about beating the Mavs, it's about winning a championship.
I think many of the Spurs fans here are too paranoic about beating them (especially getting a revenge of last year's fall) or how to beat the "great?" Dallas Mavericks. I agree they're a great team, really talented, this could be their year but it all comes down to playoffs.
Oberto can be a key player for the Spurs. His basketball IQ is great for a big man, he just needs playing time, confidence, and patience. He can be the key to guard Nowitzki and also for a championship. But I think not many here see that or are gonna agree with me.
more importantly, will the Mavs choke again?
I think so, Wizards 2007 NBA Champs!!!
I would bet my left testicle that we win playoff series vs. Suns or Clippers.
read the thread, look how intelligent you all were in july! Don't be realistic, don't admit that we have an aging team on a extremely RAPID DESCENT! Spurs #1
GOOD GRIEF PEOPLE, open your eyes!
and for the record I am a h u g e spurs fan!
How is our offseason looking now?
Mavs fan here. While I agree you should've gone after more depth in FA this past year, I also know, that when it's time, TD and co. will step their game up. You guys are like the New England Patriots, no one talks about you because you're not a high profile team, and you don't always have the best regular season record, but come playoff time you'll find a way. Over a seven game series between you and the Suns or Lakers, my money goes on you. That being said, I don't think there is another ring in your future, because eventually your stars will get tired playing 40 minutes every night (in the playoffs.)
clippers?
the reason the shooting is so bad lately is our AGE, no legs!
clippers are trash this year, we can beat the suns and lakers in 7 games. they dont got the playoff iq to get to the finals but dallas is our only big threat. Book That !!!
