Option #4 for the Playoffs: James White
The Spurs continue to roll along through the latter part of the regular season, not to my surprise. SA has won 17 of its last 19 overall, standing at 50-20 after being 33-18 just over a month ago.
I read so much about the Spurs being old and unathletic and on the decline, and if that is true, then I must say that SA is the best declining team ever in NBA history. SA could be the first old, unathletic, and declining team to win an NBA championship. Oh wait, that happened last year....I don't want to say that SA will get another routine day at the office 60-win season, because then if they don't, it's my fault and I jinxed them, right? SA only needs a 10-2 record as of now.
Michael Finley = Option #4 for the playoffs. Then Brent Barry.

If Pop didn't have such idiotic rotations, the Spurs would have won by 70.
In those past 19 games, the Spurs have beat 2 good teams. Det (twice) and Houston. If you want to classify Denver as a good team then it's 3 good teams.
Big congrats on beating up on crappy teams. The Spurs record this year against the elite teams of the West is still pretty horrible.
Beat the Warriors then get back to us.
Your mighty Mavs play the same teams dumb
My mighty Mavs also have a better record overall and a considerably better record against the Top 3-4 teams in the conference than your Spurs do.
I'll just make it easy for you and spell it out:
R E G U L A R ............ S E A S O N
After the Mavs have lost the past 4 contests versus Golden State, the prospects of the (Warriors) 8th seed versus (Dallas) 1st seed matchup must give you goosebumps in anticipation.
Nope. Mavs in 5. But thanks all the same for beating them tonight and ensuring that I probably won't have to worry about it anyway.
Given that the subject of the original post is the regular season and the Spurs recent success, I'd say that my response citing the regular season was warranted. No?
Also, I figure most of you would have learned your lesson after spewing the "just wait until the playoffs" nonsense for months and months last year. Guess not.
Didnt you know? Its an odd year!!!
Maybe the Mavs should win 1 against them first, then worry about 3 more. It can be a daunting thought getting that first one after such a long string of losses to...I can't say it but..... you know...(whispers) that team.
I know, it's pretty embarrassing right.
Say, on a completely unrelated note, how did the Spurs fare against the Bucks this year?
The Bucks are that team for the Spurs this year. The prospects of that team meeting the Spurs in the playoffs are slim to none...thus, not so daunting, or should I say haunting, a notion?
He's got you there Dub.
Check.
Mate.
And even if the prospects were high, I'd imagine you wouldn't be too scared of the Bucks.
Thus my point. Mavs would/will destroy GS in a playoff series.
but dont you remember?
We Spurs fans said the same thing about the "lowly" Mavs last year.... you never freaking know man.
Ohhhh, yes I would. Appropriate fear. Appropriate fear.
Ask any soldier and they will tell you...you have to take the hill before you can actually say you took the hill.
Absolutely right. That's why they play the games. My point is simply that I wouldn't be too scared of a clearly lower echelon team. Your point about the Mavs-Spurs is well noted, but at the same time those were two pretty even teams--3 wins apart in last years regular season to be exact. The gap between the Mavs and GS or the Spurs and the Bucks is, well, monumentally larger.but dont you remember?
We Spurs fans said the same thing about the "lowly" Mavs last year.... you never freaking know man.
why dont you like the spurs?
Mavs are still gonna play the Rockets in the second round anyway. Thats a potential scare right there Dirk just might go soft again.
When Mavs fans were touting their big win streak, Spurs fans would mention the (low) quality of opponents and get bashed.
Bottom line is that you can only play the teams that are on the schedule and the Spurs are playing good basketball right now as they head into the stretch run toward the playoffs - whoever the teams are that they are beating. I don't care about what the Spurs record was agains the elite teams of the West early in the season - the Spurs D sucked early in the season.
I only care about what is happening right now. And right now - the Spurs are playing very good basektball.
