Patty Mills and Marco Bellinili make the Spurs the Team too Beat

[westsideozzie]

Last year the Spurs had Gary Neal as the only viable option besides Manu off the bench. Well this year Mills and Bellnelli have shown that they have exceeded Neal's production to the point where no team shy of Miami or maybe OKC has a chance to beat them in a 7 game series.

I leave Indiana out because I believe there guard play is not dynamic enough, and the Clips and Rockets because they collectively do not have the basketball IQ to play at a high level for seven games.

Spurs are still highly dangerous.
Pop is a genou

The bench is what make the Spurs lethal. Diaw got the start last night because he's LeBron kryptonite which means Splitter off the bench. The entire Spurs bench could start for a lot of teams.

Parker - Mills
Duncan - Splitter
Leonard - Red Mamba
Diaw - Belinelli
Green - Ginobili

... crazy good bench. An improvement over last year.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Heat are more stacked. They have a number 1 and number 2 pick come off the bench :eek: The GOAT shooter plays 20 min off the bench :eek: Bosh takes 10 shots a game, could average 28/15 on any other nonstacked team :eek:
ripthefgt
whoever thinks the heat are more stacked is INSANE.
Spurs roleplayers are about twice as good as Miamis.
and outside off the Big three Miami only has roleplayers

seriously they have the deepest team maybe together with OKC.
in Miami you have corpses like Oden, Allen and Lewis off the bench.
players like Haslem and Jones cant even make the rotation or no IQ scrubs like Cole. then you have scrubs like Chalmers and Battier starting :biggums: :biggums:

Dexter Pittman would be 2nd best bigman on Spurs. Splitter is ok, but Pop and Gino turn him into a good player. Pitmann on Spurs would be near 20/10 guy. Heat are so stacked he rode the bench for them but was top 15 center in the league. Cole > Joseph/Mills. Allen > Green/Ginobili/Leonard. Bosh > entire Spurs roster. Wade > entire Spurs roster. Oden > Duncan. Beasly> Leonard. Diaw and Leonard are upgrades over Lebron, but the rest of the Heat are so stacked they can carry the load even with Lebron

Heat stans are so annoying. Everytime their team gets beat, "_____ is so much more stacked than us!" :facepalm

Well, in their defence, Heat stands do have a collective IQ score equivalent to that of a rock.

[HoopsFanNumero1]

I don't know why people were counting them out just a few weeks ago. Sure their record against top teams wasn't good but they were clearly dealing with injuries then.

[Twiens]

The only thing "stacked" about the Spurs is that damn coaching staff :oldlol:

[wally_world]

I initially thought they were being sarcastic :facepalm

If anything, the Heat main rivals (Thunder, Spurs, Pacers) are the last thing from stacked. Their key players were all drafted and developed by the team. They don't make lopsided trades. No big free agent signings.

[QuebecBaller]

Do you think Greensanity will back this year in the playoff?

[Genaro]

Spurs i miles way from stacked. If they look that way it's beacause of Pop's schemes. He makes sure everyone knows their roles and execute it well.

:facepalm If you seriously believe those statements , you are either a butthurt heat fun or your knowledge comes from your xbox.

The difference between heat and spurts is that spurs let pop run the organisation like a European team. Players just obey their coach and the coach with the GM decides who to sign. Also pop can bench anyone without worrying that LeDiva will cry on GM at same night or make some posts on twitter about how unhappy he is. Compared to spurs those teams with egomaniac superstars who take 80 shots per game (knicks , lakers, OKC etc) seem like some talented college kids balling in their local outdoor court.
So the exact spurs roster wouldn't be able to compete in another organisation or if Pop wouldn't have the role that he has right now.


And those come from a Lakers and Kobe fan.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Spurs are stacked.
great star player and HREAT roleplayers who are all unselfish and know their role:applause: :applause:

Parker,Duncan,Ginobili,Leohnard,Bellinelli,Diaw,Sp litter,Green are all good to great.
Stacked AND a great coach.
i seriously cant come up with any reason why a spurs fan would hate the fact that they are stacked.
they are because they are the best run organisation in the last 15 years:applause: :applause:

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

The Spurs aren't stacked. Only idiots would think that.

They are stacked but not in a ridiculus way like Heat are. If you consider team chemistry and high IQ as top notch attributes then yes they are stacked. If you consider having a coach as a leader of the team and not an uneducated 27 year old rich superathlete, as a mandatotry condition in order to win rings, then yes they are stacked.
I guess you got my point

[TMT]

That would be the kid right above you.
Guy was laughing at everyone who predicted the Spurs would win in the game thread last night. :lol

[sfballa13]

Pistons fan here, i hate when people say the Heat are stacked

Allen and Battier have been TERRIBLE this year

Beasley + Oden + Birdman (Slightly better than) Splitter, Bellineli

Parker, Ginobili, Mills, Green >>>>>>> Cole, Chalmers, Wade, Allen, Battier

Duncan >>> Bosh (who always plays like shit against Timmy)

Only spot where the Heat are better is Bron vs Kawhi

You can argue about any of those sorry

Clearly you have the definition of stack wrong. Being stacked means the collective amount of talent on your team is much higher than the rest of the league. It's another thing all together whether or not the players are playing well. Nets are stacked as well, they just suck despite being stacked.

So "stacked" has no basis in objective performance? Good to know.

[T_L_P]

The Spurs roster exceeds all expectations (Danny Green was a D-Leaguer not long ago; Boris Diaw was dropped from the Bobcats).

They Heat have tested talent. That's the difference.

[wally_world]

So "stacked" has no basis in objective performance? Good to know.

If so the best team will always be the most stacked team. Why even have the term "stacked" then? Why not just leave it at the best team?

OKC/Spurs are stacked?
Alright, then OKC/Spurs are the best teams in the L, I'll take that.

[Anaximandro1]

Patty and Marco are playing well. :applause:

Let's see what happens in the playoffs.

[wang4three]

So glad to see Patty Mills contributing. Loved him at St. Mary's. Kind of like a Nick Van Exel

[All Net]

Team to beat remains in Miami

Yeah, they only have the best player on the planet. Matters little what Allen and Battier do in the regular season - they are right there for the playoffs which is what's important. Only Allen could have hit that shot to tie game 6. And Battier 6 of 8 3pters for 18 points in game 7.

The truth is that star power wins in this league - there are only 5 players on the court at a time and players like Lebron and KD can play virtually the whole game. All the Spurs' depth matters less in the playoffs when coaches go with their best players.

What Aristotle said is true for the Spurs: "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts."
