Breaking: The Spurs are back

[BuffaloBill]

They never left, tbh. But just to throw some facts out there


- the Spurs have not lost a single game this year with their entire roster active

- the Spurs are now 3 games behind the 3rd seed

- the Spurs now have their entire roster active, for the first time since Game 5 of the finals

- Championship is coming

Navy got destroyed, tbh.

[ninephive]

Kawhi & TP looked back to form.
Duncan is as solid as ever.
Manu & the second team providing the spark every game.
Green has been mostly on as of late.
Mills is almost back to last year form.
Splitter is getting back.
Cojo is solid when you need him.
Belinelli getting back into form.
Baynes gives you what he gives you.
Bonner doing his thing.

This team is starting to look dangerously similar to last year's squad.

Which great team did they beat recently? Didn't they lose to Clippers few nights ago by something like 20 points?

This year they've beaten


Hawks (#1 best record)
Warriors (#2 best record)
Grizzlies (#3 best record)
Rockets (#4 best record)
Blazers (#5 best record)



They've already beaten each of the top 5 teams in the league at least once. Next.

We haven't played any great teams recently. So far this season we've beat Portland, Phoenix, New Orleans, Houston, LA Clippers, Memphis, Dallas, Cleveland, Golden State, and Atlanta. Some of them multiple times. We'll be fine.

I said recently. Why did you claim '' they are back'' when they just lost to Clippers in a blowout? Beating mediocre teams like Miami doesn't deserve a ''they are back'' thread.

Didn't the Hawks lose to the Bucks by 30 after winning 14 out of 15 games? Teams lose games, what's your point? Next.

Where does ISH find these guys? :roll:

[La Frescobaldi]

over the past 2 1/2 seasons they have been the best team since the '90s and one of the greatest of all time.

Not the best players, not the most stacked but they play the best basketball and destroy the stupid NBA star syndrome regularly.

[LoneyROY7]

Breaking: Nah, they're not.

[IGOTGAME]

The Spurs have a good shot at winning it all, but just like the other teams in the West it depends on matchups. Unlike the East you have to play good teams to get to the Finals.

[keep-itreal]

Spurs need to avoid Grizzlies and maybe Warriors

This post serious? They'd certainly be tough outs, but those are two of our teams, tbh.

Would be funny to see the Spurs sweep the Warriors in like the 2nd round lol.. then again that would probably mean they win the title.

Agree. Spurs match up well against most of the West teams. But the Grizzlies would give them the most trouble. Grizzlies or a full powered Rockets are the two scariest teams for the Spurs imo.

[ArbitraryWater]

Spurs ain't afraid of no one bro.. they don't have to be. Spurs gon' **** around and teach everyone come playoff time.

Best to worst

Portland
Clippers
Mavericks
Warriors
Grizzlies
Thunder
Rockets

No idea what the Suns would be like. They haven't played a Playoff game with their current group.

Athletic teams scare me. Like I said, all of those teams would be tough outs, because the West is so strong. But I'd be happy with a Grizzlies/Spurs or Warriors/Spurs series. I'd like our chances. :cheers:

This is dumb... The East has 3 legit title contenders.

Only because of the playoff criteria. The only reason they have a chance is because someone has to make the Finals out of that conference.

Not one team in the East would make it past the second round in the West.

Ugh, only two ****ing teams make it past the 2nd round... point is, the West has 8 elite teams and the East 3 (that can keep up with Western teams, Hawks/Cavs/Bulls). Still a big advantage, but yes, the East has 3.

Who are the elite teams in the East that have a shot at beating the West powerhouses?

I just don't see it, especially in a 7 game series. The only team that is a wild card is Cleveland but they are not going to put it together in year one.

How do the Hawks and Cavaliers not have a chance at beating powerhouses?!

You're hypocritical, btw.. you just said Curry being MVP favorite shows how weak the award is, now you act like his team is some UBER favorite...

If you mean powerhouses, you might as well say "Well who's gonna beat the Warriors/Grizzlies/Spurs? No one.. rest of West=weak".

1) When did I mention the Warriors?
2) Warriors are very good, but more than just Curry. I think they will underachieve but they would easily beat any Eastern Conference team except MAYBE Cleveland.

Also, those teams could lose to other Western Conference teams. Dallas/Houston/OKC/LAC could all get a favorable matchup and beat one of them.

Then name your damn "powerhouses" if you don't think the Warriors are one.

Yeah, they would easily beat the Hawks, who'm they just lost to in the most anticipated game so far... dumbass.

*waiting on the powerhouses* *says regular season doesnt matter but thinks the warriors will beat anyone easily in the playoffs*

[Ruler]

Only teams that scare the Spurs in the west:
OKC (doesn't look like they're getting to the playoffs this year)
Mavs (Doesn't look like the rondo trade helped their bench much which is what hurt us last year)
Rockets (without Dwight at 100% we'll beat them)

So there you have it. Pop knows all the gameplans of Kerr and he'll destroy GS because we are the proven winners

I hope we will find out if that is true or not this Spring.

The flip side could also be true; if you recall, SK won rings with Pops and knows Spurs locker room / gym / philosophy.

I said no one in the east has a chance of beating the West's powerhouses. Warriors are a top team in the West. No one in the East is beating them. The only team with a chance is Cleveland. Everyone else is easy work.

I think the Grizz series depends a lot on Parker. When we swept them in the WCF 2 years ago, Parker went for 25/10/4/2 on .532. He went 23/6/5/1 to beat GS the series before.

The real question is who replaces Tim Duncan's production when he's done. Even at his age his size, length, and basketball IQ fills a gap at his position for the Spurs that will be sorely missed when his time is up.

The Spurs are done when Tim hangs them up.

They'll always be a Playoff team with Pop coaching, but we won't be a true title contender without him (unless they sign a superstar big who plays defense, which seems unlikely).

The leadership and defense will be impossible to replace.

[rmt]

haha I knew this might come.. but sorry bro, like Timmy said it, Tony took over the reigns of this team in 2010..

Parker has been atrocious this year - doesn't belong in the picture much less the back seat.

Can't go by which teams Spurs beat in the regular season. Iirc, every top team beat up on them in the RS last year yet they won the title. When playoffs start, everything's reset 0-0.
