Spurs depth is severely underrated

[TMT]

All I'm saying is that Splitter and Neal are starters at the NBA level who come off the bench for us even with our best player out. This bench is deeper than people think, the main reason for our winning record right now.

IMO Thad Young is a serious candidate for 6th man of the year. Thad D's has been elite and his on court offensive efficiency very high as well.

Yup, I bet he is among the top league leaders in charges taken as well. And for anyone who thinks thats all he does? He defends the pick n roll well.

[TMT]

this dude is helping out the Spurs alot, in terms of defense and overall hustle. His +5.9 net production is one of the best on the team, despite his stats being pretty pedestrian still... became a starter by the 11th game of his career, and Richard Jefferson (prior starter) is not exactly a scrub.

Arguable

[Rnbizzle]

They need it, considering their starters are old as ****.

Yeah production is inflated. Sixers play the same teams everyone else does. Come up with a different argument clown. And the Sixers bench is the same as last season for the most part. And it was regarded as one of the best benches in the NBA.

You barged into the thread, like an assclown, claiming Philly's bench was better when they've had the 2nd easiest schedule in the league. Compare that to SA who've played the 3rd hardest schedule WITHOUT their best player in Ginobili. So basically, SA's bench has stepped it up during an injury crisis against .500 teams while Philly's padding their record against the cupcake lottery teams in the East. Think before you post next time.

Same teams everyone has/will play. Keep it up with the schedule argument. Its weak.

You'd have a point if it was May. Unfortunately for you, it's not. What SA's done, thus far, is more impressive considering their injuries AND opponents. It's not hard to look dominant when you're mostly playing sub-.500 teams like Philly has.

Weak argument.

[Legend of Josh]

Did you actually watch the games back in 2002-2003, seriously?

And nope, I hold no grudge against the Spurs and I believe my statement was meant to be neutral instead of offensive.

Yes, I watched the games, seriously. Why in the hell would you think I didn't? I'll never figure out why or what goes through some of your heads sometimes, because many of you are just coming out the woodwork with how you arrive, assume, land with some these odd, unless or WTF ideas/conclusions.

It wasn't even offensive. I think you're thinking too much into it, seriously.

=P

It's not who you play in the schedule, it's when and in what order that makes the difference obviously.

[Artillery]

Weak argument.

Shitty poster.

Thus far, you've:

1. Entered a Spurs thread to prop up the Sixers. It's rare enough to see a Spurs thread on the general forum admist the thousand Lebron/Kobe/Laker/Heat threads yet even that's too much for you. Sad. Even worse, you instigate an argument(with no factual basis). If you're going to troll, try bringing some facts next time.

2. Schedule is relevant, especially when comparing the relative strength of two teams.

I'll bring the facts, since you've brought NOTHING to the argument. On first glance, the Sixers bench is quite good but not that far off from SA's according to Deff. Sixers are ranked 2nd here while Spurs are 3rd:



BUT, when filtered to show the production against .500 opponents, Philly barely cracks the top ten while SA stays the same(meaning the Spurs are consistent while Philly only looks impressive against weaker competition):



It's still early in the season and Philly may improve, but right now, the hype is undeserved.

6gms vs 13...awesome measurement there kid. Weak.

Just a bit of advice. Calling all opinions other than your own 'weak' isn't a very compelling argument.
