If the things, you mentioned, in paragraph 1 don't happen....the spurs won't make it back to the finals. If they do happen, well..lets just wait and see?
Assuming they make it out if the west. Is Green going to be able to set an NBA finals record for 3's again? Is TP going to be able to be a top 3 player in the league, will a 38 year old Duncan be as great as he was last year, will role players knock their shots down like they did this year, will they be able to turn Lebron into a jump shooter again? Will they ALL be on the court when they make it to the finals?
A lot of things went right for SA last year, especially in the playoffs. Replicating that is going to be extremely difficult, and a lot of people don't realize that. Just wondering how people here or even our FO could be happy with the resigning of Manu/Splitter(when they didn't do jack shyt aside of 1 game), and pretty much staying the same.
SA is going to need Leonard to develop into a borderline superstar for SA to win the le next year, I'd love it to happen, but that's far from guaranteed.

I believe Indiana will beat Miami next year so it will be a all ABA finals. Pacers vs Spurs. San Antonio wins 4-1
Duncan retires a champion
I shudder to imagine Manu in that scenario.
Will Lebron be able to HIT all his jumpers again? Will Allen & Miller outshoot Danny Green from 3 (yes it really happened, go look it up)? Will Parker be hobbled from an injury in game 3?
A lot of "what ifs" on either side. Hopefully we'll get through a tougher west to see what happens next time around. OKC will be healthy, Clippers will spread the floor, GS and Hou could be better, etc.
Pop sits the Big 3. Heat sit their Big 3. Close game goes down to the wire.
Bonner will have a monster series averaging 32 and 16 and shut down lebron on D, carrying us to victory.
It's his destiny![]()
Miami is going to be on their 4th straight run to the Finals, which is nearly impossible to accomplish, tbh..it's far from a lock that they will be in the Finals, tbh..
Spurs match up very well with any other East team, since Splitter can stay on the floor and be effective against the Nets/Pacers/Bulls, tbh..
The Spurs can beat any team using their conventional lineup..the teams that could give the Spurs problems are small-ball teams like Miami/Golden State/OKC, tbh..
Tbh
AFAIK.
FTL
I'd be so stoked if the spurs can get there again
Just hope Net and Heat kill each other
TWSS....
Playing the backup pg position.

best case scenario. kawhi becomes an allstar. parker plays great in the finals. manu stops turning it over. spurs win 2014 le. duncan retires.
but seriously, people tend to over-think. so many things could happen in a year (injuries, trades, whatever). winning is always a possibility but then so is losing.
Well if everyone is healthy, Spurs win. Despite being another year older, Duncan will still dominate Bosh, hopefully Tiago's balls grow at least a littlle, Parker will be even better, hopefully Ginobili adjusts to a new role and his limitations, and Kawhi will be that much better and will be a much bigger factor.
Should that happen again they by god ol' sport, you can repeat the past.........and then you can change it to the way it was supposed to be.
LOL if you guys make the playoffs you won't escape the first round!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
