spurs 3 games off their pace last year after 31 games
Of course last year they were missing Murray and Walker, and starting Dante Cunningham, and STILL managed to compile a better record in a better Western Conference. And by the end of last season they managed to squeeze into a tie for 7-8 to squeeze into the playoffs.
Miami only has Spoelstra as coach, and not the GOAT. They're starting two undrafted players - one with 1 year of experience, and one a rookie, plus one who was the 14th pick a couple of years ago. And their main guy off the bench is a rookie who was the 13th pick in this year's draft. They're 24-8 and have the second best record in the East and third best over (going by losses).
THAT would be a success story. Saying that the Spurs are only 3 games worse than last year after 31 games? Not so much.
I am thinking besides Spo, Miami’s scouting deserves props.
agree with everything else.
Miami's scouts did well finding Nunn and Robinson, no doubt. So I agree with you there. The question you have to ask is whether either of those guys would have gotten enough court time under Pop to be recognized as good players. I think it's pretty doubtful. I think there is zero chance that they would be starting, like they are for Miami.
People can argue that they are starting by necessity, but that argument pretty much gets hammered by the fact that they have the third best record in the league. They obviously deserve to be starting, regardless of how many years they have in the league.
