The LAL and OKC have the same fatal flaws: they can't shoot the trey or defend it. That is playoff death.
I did the same with $100, and $50 on WC Champ at 5.4-1 as a fallback.

Yeah 145+ the other night. Okc would be screwed with no Durant or Westbrook. spurs have proven they can win with with many combinations of players out, like Duncan splitter and Neal tonight. Or the stretch without Gino, how many other teams can maintain wins with key players out? We are deep this year, the rest of the nba get ready for these playoffs
Revenge game on the Lakers? No problem. Back to back to back? No problem.
5 is starting to become visible on the horizon....
I'm starting to come around as well...
No matter how you look at it: winning 5 in a row by an average of 18 points per game including a road B2B2B by an average of 22 is pretty okay.
There are the lingering worries...but I'm in the crows nest now, one eye pressed against the telescope...and that thing is see in the distance has an unmistakable silhouette.
I'm trying not to look too closely myself. Less pain if something terrible happens.
If the Laker game is anything to go by, it looks like Pop may be waking up from his small ball-induced fog and heading in the right direction. The Spurs have the pieces to win it all but it's going to come down to the rotations, game plans, subs ution patterns, and Bonner imo.
Letting regular season games cloud your judgment. The Spurs still have a soft, weak frontline and this will do them in come the playoffs.
The Spurs will never lose an NBA finals. Problem is they may never get there again.
A bigman rotation of TD, Splitter (healthy), Diaw (motivated & acclimated), Bonner (keeping his current defensive intensity), is good enough for post season. Certainly won't be a strong point, but won't be a flat out achilles heel like the past few years. Keep Blair as a towel waving boy, that will do the job just fine.
Hmm.....i'm starting to see it too....
We have Kawhi taking the ball coast to coast and finishing, also with his baseline drive and slams...
We have Diaw playing good D and knocking down 3 balls now...
We have Jack to intimidate and enforce, made Blake his panties, and he happens to be playing some great defense as well...
I like this feeling i'm having right now.
Hey we need you watching for icebergs and reefs and dude!
Tony Parker is still the Laker Killer and their Kryptonite. Just involve Bynum in pick and rolls all day and at least on that side of the court, he's negated somewhat. Also, since he's mental he could just go into a s .

You should have read my second post after that before decided to be your usual got self.
Despite the elbow injury Manu's numbers in the playoffs last year weren't that far off his '10 numbers.
They should pull down that award (All Spurs Talk 2nd team) you sport with all your name calling.
Could be worse...I could have threatened to beat someone up in a women's soccer thread.
I still don't know what the rotations are gonna be. One day Splitter starts, the next Blair starts. I guess Pop won't define that until a game or two before the playoffs.
With the Spurs current personnel, I think there will be some adjustments from match up to match up. I know that's a bit unprecedented as far as Pop goes, but I don't see how it can work any other way.
Ok, Kobe's back.
What's the new excuse?
