"we"...."you"
They have a very deep team that is able to get the job done. Their bench beats most teams bench, and they win a lot of games due to that. I doubt they are playing at 100% right now.
The question is how are they going to be playing in the playoffs when the rotations shorten to 7 or 8 deep and everyone's best players are getting all the burn? Which team plays the best under those cir stances? That is what we will find out in May, and that cannot be known in January.
2002-2003 Spurs did it.Who was the last team to win with the best regular season record in ANY sport?
2003 NE Patriots too.
I think those were the most recent.
Why do I get this bad feeling that you will, but I won't ?
OK, the 1999-2000 Lakers and
2002-2003 Spurs did it.
Beer was asking for the last team to do it. Its all good.1999-2000 Lakers did also.
just thought to add as many teams just in case
Since it's 2007 I'd say the odds aren't great that the best regular season team will win this year either.
Too late for the NFL and MLB....the NHL and NBA could still happen.
Since when you're good at predicting the future?
I don't predict the future, but the past is slapping you in the face with evidence that being the #1 seed doesn't really mean much. That's all I'm saying sir. Please don't attribute supernatural powers to me that I never claimed to have.Especially since you're good at predicting the future.
I'm sorry sir but you have it wrong. You said it can never happen but the evidence just slapped you in the face. You're the one who has to eat crow about the team with the top record never winning a championship.
When did I say it never happens or that it can never happen? Now you're putting words in my mouth. I said it doesn't happen often enough for it to be significant, and that the team that is playing the best at the moment wins even if they aren't necessarily the best team. 4 sports and the last time it happend was 4 years ago? That's a telling stat. Learn this word - Parity. It wasn't in pro sports much several years ago, but it's here now.
You can't say anything until the season's over. That's all I can say.
The season's over after the playoffs - which is a completely different season than the regular season - in which the winner is not determined by the regular season - which cannot be known in January. Exactly what I've said all along crow eater.
Spurs will probably win
1= Kobe is injured, had a setback with his groin injury. Limit's his game
2- Lamar is out, kwame the only person who can do a decent job guard duncan is out. Duncan will put Bynum in foul trouble.
3- It's in San Antonio.
Everyone knows the season includes the playoffs which of course you overlooked. One thing I did say is that the Spurs need to build consistancy by winning ball games.
If the Spurs do not win ball games any time soon, they will not build confidance and consistancy. The playoffs will be different no doubt about it. The Spurs aren't the type of team to flip the switch. They will be battling good opponents in the playoffs, if you remember last year the Spurs had trouble beating a mediocrity team the Sacramento Kings. When the second round rolled by, the Spurs were pushed to the edge by the Mavericks. In the end, the other team won and moved on.
This is what the Spurs should be doing right now. They should realize that they are not good enough as is to have an advantage over the top two teams in the west and they should look to shore up rotations and make a move. They have time to gain consistency after the all-star break, but right now it's about getting the team together that gives you the best chance to be the team playing the best ball come playoffs. This is what January is for every contending team, not just the Spurs. I wasn't just talking about the Spurs throughout this whole thread. But I do agree with your last post BERSERK.
Don't forget the '99 Spurs.OK, the 1999-2000 Lakers and
2002-2003 Spurs did it.
Spurs better dominate tonight considering the cir stances.
Thought I'd just bring this thread up again to see if anyone changed their opinions ...
Its going to be scary come playoff time coz if the Spurs dont pick it up they could end up being a 5th or 6th seed and id HATE to be the higher ranked team facing them. It would be funny if the Lakers had homecourt vs the Spurs in round one. I wouldnt like the Lakers chances, despite reg season results.
The Spurs experience and composure come playoff time will make them dangerous no matter where they end up at the end of the reg season
I said that people should not dismiss the Lakers. You want me to change my mind?Thought I'd just bring this thread up again to see if anyone changed their opinions ...
No no no, you're good Mike.I said that people should not dismiss the Lakers. You want me to change my mind?
