Spurs overachieved this season

[playbonner15]

Without TP, Kawhi Im surprised we got to the WCF. Next season is another season to reload and try again. Farewell Manu I will miss thee

They literally beat the third best record in the league without their two most important offensive cogs.

[SpursforSix]

They didn't overachieve. They're a damn good team when Leonard is healthy.

[CGD]

Nah, they appropriately achieved. They were the third best team, and I'm not for sure the gulf between them and Cavs was that great either for #2.

[tbdog]

All we know is we were up 20 plus and Leonard dominating against the number 1 team. This is just another luck by the Warriors. In 3 playoff runs they have played 2 healthy teams. 2 out of 11.

[daslicer]

I still believed they would have beaten the Warriors had the Kawhi injury not happened. So I don't think they overachieved. I have just accepted the Spurs got robbed much like someone getting their money stolen from them in an alley. I don't believe this bs coping mechanism "Well we wouldn't have won anyways."

[tholdren]

No they didnt. They played the best when lee and dedmon started. Got to the playoffs and abandoned ship

I'm not sure the gulf was that big between Spurs and GSW. Dominated both head to heads when everyone was healthy.

Going by the books, I guess they were the 3rd best team. I don't think they created much of an iden y over the season, and didn't have any memorable winning streaks were you might said, "damn, these guys are good!"

In the broadest sense, no team was that impressive this year in the sense of excellence at every position. I miss the days of centers and power forwards.
Today's NBA has become a 3-point contest.
That's why GS will win it all again. They are the present and future of the NBA going forward, regrettably.
We will see that last's years finals was a fluke.

PATFO will roll out the same roster next year, tbh.

The league needs to address post play and penalise physical defenders in the post just like they do outside the paint. Atm you can push off, carry, travel, move/grab/push/hip check on screens, and defenders cannot touch.

Yep..Spurs were easily the 3rd best team, strong argument for 2nd, it was a great season and they exceeded the expectations of most people..many in the media predicted that they would fall off..

Dominos joining the Warriors just changed the landscape of the league, as everybody feared..the league had 4 teams that were all relatively close, last year, to 1 juggernaut + 1 default contender(just by having Lebron)..

[ElNono]

tbh, they reached the ceiling... there was no going any further with this LMA... that's our ceiling right now... #2 option playing like a role player...

[Darius Bieber]

No they didn't. The west was weak as .

Media predicted Porker and Kawhi getting injured? Your narrative about the Warriors is boring, like you did with the CHeat, they are impossible to beat, nobody can blah blah.
Truth is Spurs were the best team until Kawhi got injured, he was pissing and ting every other player especially Durbeta, Lebron always plays against D-Leaguers so his playoff accolades are inflated.

Pretty much this.

[InRareForm]

Would spurs have beat cavs if they beat warriors?

I never said the Heat were unbeatable, I predicted Spurs in 5 in 2014 and even posted my bet those Heat teams were extremely flawed, offensively. .

Warriors are far better than those Heat teams, tbh, not even close..

Spurs were 9 to 1 underdogs in this series, it would have been one of the biggest upsets in Vegas history if they had defeated GS..

Dont say that, Lebron and a bunch of scrubs took them to 6 games.
Lebron with a lesser team than the Heat got the ring.

Everytime Spurs get the #1 seed they play against Memphis, Clippers, OKC, and GSW plays scrubs teams while the others kill each other.
And when the Spurs get the #2nd seed, they must play all those teams again, while GSW plays vs pussy scrubs.
GSW so far played 11 teams, 9 out of those were injured teams, thats not good material for bedtime stories.

Meh remember Kawhi carrying the team during the regular season until the Grizz? Its coz LMa disappears frequently and people are saying Kawhi needs more help

LMA-O was a fiasco, Spurs needs some serious retooling and they can take it all

Kawhi or no Kawhi?

It's the voodoo man.

[UZER]

They overachieved and underachieved at the same time.

So we'll just say, they achieved this season.
