We've always been elite.
When was that a question of doubt?
Are we among the NBA/West elite now? 14-8....not bad and we've had some impressive wins as of late in Denver and Dallas double-OT thriller. Can we group ourselves with the other elite teams of the league: Boston, Cleveland, and Denver?

We have been an elite franchise for the past 5 years.
Not yet for this season!
But the Spurs are getting closer though.
Elite this season? Not quite yet.
Elite this past decade? Definitely!
+1
Once this team is healthy, it haswritten all over it.
most elite
Not until our inside D gets much better! I hope Ian comes through big or we need to make a deal to get another big, no way we win le letting teams score easy points like they are right now.
If Bonner evolve into Super Bonner, we are the legit...
right now the spurs can probably beat the cavs in the playoffs, push boston and the lakers to six or seven games before losing, and beat any other team in the playoffs.
since you asked, i hear by revoke your Spurs fan for life membership card. you may re-apply again or challenge this ruling in one month's time.

Not yet, the Spurs had a relatively easy schedule so far, they haven't played any of the top 3 teams.
Look at the end of january/february schedule: just brutal. They need to get a lot of wins now to prevent any bad losing streak.
What big are they going to be able to get?
That's the problem..I have with everybody wanting a big.
There's isn't anyone out there of substance we can get!!!!
jeff foster is the only one i can think of that fits within the price range. i haven't seem him play this season but i remember he's a good defender. not a big shot blocker but can play defense outside the low post as well. cleans up around the rim very well.What big are they going to be able to get?

elite as they come.
i don't know what's funnier, SD even asking if the Spurs are elite or stating that the Nuggets are elite
Absolutely. Only 5 teams in the league have better records than the Spurs right now....and if you factor in that we were missing Manu and Tony for big chunks of the season, I think you have to say Spurs are elite. Does anyone think Boston, Cleveland and LA would have the records they do if they had been missing key players for weeks on end?
yes we are L33T
No. Spurs are 5-7 vs .500+ teams.
Lakers are 10-1.
Celtics are 7-1.
Cavs are 5-3.
Like Frenchise player said, we'll have a better idea after they've played against more of the top teams.
Those are meaningless stats.
The Spurs haven't had their whole team for the majority of the early part of the season..while Boston and Cleveland have had their teams intact.
Let see what the Spurs record against +.500 teams going forward now that everyone is back.
Denver elite, lol.
celtics would SUCK without pierce and allen.
cleveland would SUCK without wallace and williams.
lakers would SUCK without bynum and gasol.
you can't compare the spurs to those three teams.
They were also without Gino for a month and Parker for a few weeks, so I would say they have held up well spite the easy schedule!! They needed that schedule to even stay near .500 IMO, but they were above .500 even without a full team so I would say they held serve. They have done really well this year so far, and they will get alot better.
Not yet. Even with the addition of Mason, the emergence of Hill and the resurgence of Bonner, we've still the big stiffs Oberto and Thomas, who are IMO simply not good enough.
Yup, I know we've won with the likes of Rasho and Nazr. But that was with a younger big 3, and I don't think Oberto and Thomas are even as good as those guys.
I hope I'm wrong.

No! That is, unless you look at the past 5 games. The Spurs have a +15.4 ppg differential in the past 5 games, shooting 49% and allowing .442.
They have not been in the same paragraph with Cleveland, Boston and the LA Lakers. Cleveland (19-1 in their past 20 games) and Boston have the best defenses, to be sure, around the .415 Opp. FG% range. Let's not even talk about Cleveland's ppg Differential. Boston and Cleveland are Elite with a capital E. LA is the Elite West team right now.
No, other teams are just missing their shots.
