For instance, Blair struggles mightily against the LAL and MEM, but positively BEASTS on OKC.
This team is clicking at the right time.

The FO didn't made enough improvement for the 07-08 season, the Lakers with the Kwame for Gasol trade had become better, also the Celtics were better. The mistake was letting Scola go.
For 08-09, the roster wasnt good at all.
They tried to fix the things with Dice and RJ, but RJ disappointed completely. For he was being paid he did very little in more than 2 seasons.
This season the roster finally looks great. Enough talented bigs, wing defensives, only thing missing is a better PG backup. Mills is still new and Neal can't defend PG's.
Still pretty nervous about a high-octane offense. Playoffs are when things grind down and get difficult. I don't see why that would be suddenly different.
We stacked.
Ditto. The good news is that if you look at the last 10 games, the Spurs have held opponents below 44% FG. Hopefully it's a sign that the defense is capable of being above average.
The Spurs grinded it out in the first half and then blew it open in the second half.
The halfcourt offense has been pretty good this season I'd say. It's more the halfcourt defense that worries me. Luckily, it seems to be getting better. I think if we keep Blair out of the rotation while limiting Bonner some and picking and choosing spots for guys like Neal, the defense should be okay leading into the playoffs.
As long as the rotations continue to look something like this, I think this team has a fair shot of beating anybody in a series.
But who is the big powerhouse defense in the West that can do that? Don't really see one this year tbh.
That's a good point. I'm not sure anyone in the west is beating the Spurs right now. OKC with the best shot, maybe.
Do you want to comment, or just put up an emoticon like a goon?
The West is just not that strong this year. In other years I would agree that this type of basketball most likely would not succeed but with the lack of a real dominant team I feel like they have a really good shot.
I was agreeing with you.
Just laughing because OKC has the best shot at competing but they don't stand a chance against the Spurs in a 7 game series.
SA has always been contenders.
They are playing really well since the trade, and not half bad before it of course. Splitter needs to log consistent time against teams that have strong presence in the paint.
I believe the Spurs can take the crown but a lot has to line up still yet. From health to the lineup and calls just not either killing us or any certain team getting every whistle. If this squad can do what they are doing now they will have damn good shot.
I haven't seen the big 3 this healthy together in a while. THAT is what makes me nervous. None are 100% but damn it seems like one is just really banged up or missing completely every year. Injuries happen to every team in every sport but SA has been bit enough.
For some reason people are really hanging onto the 50 win thing, and who we get in the 1st round... none of that matters at this point however. Of course you want to win out but there's no reward for that so why bother discussing it? Discuss it when we are 44-38 with a bunch of young s and we are reminiscing. Hopefully with a another ring.
They got this. Spurs in 7.
