I'm ready for Oct.25th.
Beating the Spurs in the conference Finals 4-0 by an average margin of 20 points...Spurs have a terrific regular season and win 60..crazy semi-finals story and win against LA..only to be raped badly by GSW
Today, these guys pummeled the 4th best team in the NBA in the 25 relevant minutes the starters played.. At one point they were up 56 with clippers starters still playing.
I dont think I can sleep tonight.
Maybe if we lose by 50 in the season opener, Pop will tank...
He won't, nevermind.
We would've had a chance but Manu cost us Boban
Better to prepare yourself for it now tbh..
Spurs aren't beating the Warriors this year lol.
Wish the Spurs just started attaining personnel to match up vs. Warriors this past summer instead of going all in for a player that won't be playable against the Warriors.
I understand Gasol was best available guy, but he wasn't the best available fit to match up against the Warriors.
Sure the Spurs couldn't have done anything besides signing maybe Durant to compete with Warriors, but they could have at least taken a step in the right direction instead of just prolonging the inevitable for two years and maybe wasting away Kawhis' prime by signing a 36 yr old immobile center.
Well to be fair, Clips still don't have anyone at the perimeter than can really defend. Spurs have two, just wish they had a legit 3rd. And I really wish it can be Murray as his length and athleticism would be able to give Curry fits much like MCW did during last season.
Well, it's not like Doc is tanking...I mean...nevermind.
I just hope Pop went away from switching against them. He had all summer to think of something else (I'd love to see hard hedges like the Heat played against us in '13-'14 used against them and how they react).
We have no shot if we're moving the bigs to the perimeter, IMO.
Doc said two weeks ago there wasn't a big gap between the clips and dubs... then again, nobody knows if he was drunk or high.
Can we trust any of the Argentinians to break Durant or Curry legs?
If i was a team owner Id pay pato 20 million this year if hes willing to play in oct and break Durant or Curry ankles...
He looks like the type to do such a thing.
Making moves to beat OKC or the Grizzlies isnt really worth the time or money tbh..( thats what Pau was)
If I were R.C, I wld have signed Harkless for 14 mil per. Moved LA to C, Harkless to PF.
Would have traded Parker ( bc its a business) for space & a 2nd rounder, Patty for a 1st, Kyle for a 1st.
Then sign a vet PG for 1 yr ( Spurs werent going to win this yr anyways-- its a transition/ building yr ).
Spurs would have had LA, Harkless, Kawhi, Green + 2 1sts and cap space going into next summer.
Oh well, lets just wait out Gasol & Parkers contracts.I guess

To be fair, by the time Duncan and Durant made their decisions..there wasnt a whole lot available..
Parkers three year and Gasol player option is going to end whe Kawhi is what 28 and Aldridge 33..
What a waste of potential. Aldridge 31, Kawhi 36 and a legit PG with role player bugs that can move around would be so much better for next year.
Agree, at least Pop doesn't create that kind of doubts.
With him it's about![]()
Gasol and Parker are both expiring..Not sure why I was thinking 2018.
Both very tradable contracts next year.
Gasol will likely opt in next year. His numbers will go down across the board, along with his usage. When you consider his age on top of that? He'll likely opt in.
Parker still has two more yrs too.
Summer of 18.
They have stacked the deck..Good for them that a beta- ass wouldn't say no ..
Can't remember the last time a team lined up arguably four top 15 players in the league--and inarguably two top 5 -- all in their respective primes..probably not since the 1960s Celtics..when you have 3 guys (Curry/KD/Kyle) who can pop off for >40 points at any time, opponents have got a lot of prayers and wishful thinking to do to live with them (injuries, lack of depth outside the core, chemistry issues among stars etc..)

The Warriors won't win more games than they did last year and they will not win the chip this year. I don't know why everyone is panicking so early lol. They have no depth and Kerr already said they aren't pushing to win regular season games like they did last year on the most recent Zach Lowe pod.
Yea, especially Pau. LMA actually did decent when switching on the perimeter, particularly in our win against them last season.
Maybe he'll go zone on them lol
SAS miss the playoffs forcing a long term rebuild...![]()
The Spurs and Heat took turns blowing each other out in 2011, 2012 and 2013. You can't tell the strength of teams by the final score of one game.
This is where having more mobile yet undersized big men comes into focus.
Lee and Dedmon will be much better at helping or simply covering Durant. That allows us to play the other two as we did last year, with whatever tweaks Pop wants to use to slow them down more.
God, this place reminded me why I just around here and give no s about the thinly veiled garbage that passes for basketball convo here. And to the Lemmings...just shoot yourselves and ing die. It's a ing sport, not real life, you lames.
