I prefer to be under the radar
Nothing else needs to be said after crushing the Thunder on the road. They should be a top 5 ranked team in the league after this win at worst.

Don't worry...
Not me this team and organization deserves respect and there will still be many doubters but this team has the potential to get even better as Splitter integrates, Anderson returns etc.
They have proved that barring injury, they are a much better team than last year, by a pretty huge margin..
There's still a long way to go to prove that they are "for real", in regards to being a contender..
you are supposed to win if you shoot lights out from the 3pt line... duh
As long as they shoot this well from behind the 3 pont line, they will be hard to beat.
The good thing is that they have a number of players who can light up from 3 point this year with Manu, Bonner, RJ, Neal and maybee even James Anderson.
ESPN will put the Spurs in the top 10 plays.....Ibaka's alley oop dunk...just like they did when Gordon/Griffin had all those high light plays for the Clippers against us; that is the only national recognition we will get.
When are they not for real? They are always considered contenders every year. They have a culture, a winning at ude that most teams lack and that is a big deal in overcoming liabilities specially in the most important games.
Rankings are poop. I just want them to keep winning. They have a bunch of players who can make solid contributions. There's a lot of season ahead, but this feels pretty damn good.
This.
It also shouldn't be forgotten that the first 20 or so games of the year are generally very soft in that teams haven't properly integrated yet. The real tests are still yet to come. However, it is a great start to the season!
The more under the radar and less attention we get, the better. Spurs have always played better that way.
Unless it's mid-2000s when we were usually on national tv and barkley screaming ginobili's name as if he was exploding in his pants along with quite a bit of ESPN ' s predicting(usually correct) that we'd be champs.The more under the radar and less attention we get, the better. Spurs have always played better that way.
Blow out win in OKC. Gotta love it. Screw the radar. I want the League to know the SPURS ARE BACK!
it ain't the bcs, screw the ratings. just keep winning and that's all you need to do.
Notes on a scorecard: Why Matt Bonner should eat turkey subs before every game...Sunday’s victory looked like the kind of games that San Antonio routinely won back in its championship seasons. They stayed closed in the first half and then clamped down defensively to finish out the victory. By the end of the game, youthful Oklahoma City players like Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were becoming visibly irritated at their team’s struggles.

being under the radar and the media I just like watching this team play. I don't care about this team getting respect or attention it doesn't bother me. This teams is actually exciting to watch which hasn't been the case the last 3 years. '07-'08 was really the last time the spurs basketball was exciting for me to watch. This team has great cohesion and chemistry which has been missed the last 3 years. I don't know if they are a contender but I do enjoy watching these 120 point games. For me its all about just having fun watching the games and not about worrying about the media giving the spurs respect. At the end of the day only 1 team can win it all so I don't really sweat it.
Oh ... here we go.. believe me, we are still not as good as our record suggests. Just look at the quality of the teams we've been bullying thus far.......

^^^ Well we just bullied a quality team...so its a good start. Especially being 8-1.
Quit being a "dont be", be a "do be."
But yes,they do exist.
Aw come on man, don't be that guy. We all know the standings don't dictate who prevails in the end, but give The Spurs the credit they deserve. If this were last season, we'd be 5-3 at best. The team is evolving with every game, and that was evident in today's game. The Spurs didn't have to win by a nose, they spanked a playoff team. Plus, we beat The Suns, and The Suns just beat the Lakers. We're phenomenal this year, bout time you start accepting that lovely truth.
The Spurs are back.
Suns won't beat the Lakers again this year. They needed a freaky 22 3Gs (made!)
I'm happy we're 8-1 but I still feel like we haven't proven anything yet. I guess I'm just not that easily sold.
But as long as our team is winning... it can't be a bad thing right?
