knicks are probably going to end up with 8th seed

Spurs extend their win streak to 17.

This may be the best team they've ever had.

Yeah, our longest streak was in 2012 as some of the games went into the Playoffs.

I think we can beat OKC. We're better than we were in 2012 and, at the moment, they're significantly worse. Harden went crazy on us in 2012 and Ibaka wasn't missing a shot.

No respect for one of the classiest organisations in all of sports

You guys are probably just mad that you haven't been able to emulate our success without going out and buying superteams (Heat, Lakers).

I respect the Spurs, who said I didn't? It's dope how they're a little franchise and have been able to win. We'll see what happens when Duncan is gone and if they'll be able to sustain the success like the Lakers do every decade.

It's pretty much same team like last year tho, the core of the team is the same for yeaaaaaars now and that's amazing. They are always good in regular season, but it looks like they lose the momentum going in playoffs.. :/

Miami is not the best team in the league. LeBron is on the peak, but Durant is not and he is already better than him.
They have a good team, but I have the feeling that they won't make it to the finals. Indiana is pretty good bro, and maybe not enough for finals, but they will sure tire Miami off heading to finals.

True, Spurs are really one of the greateast organisations in sports.. It's amazing what they do with such an ageing roster.. Boston couldn't do it for more than 5 years, but they did.

Little franchise? lol.
Duncan is not essential to the Spurs, when he plays bad they still win. It's different story in playoffs tho. If he's on the role there, Spurs can't lose.
Lakers never lost a core of their team.. When Shaq left, Kobe exploded. Now there's no Kobe and Lakers suck. That's not sustaining success.
Lakers depend on one guy, without prime Kobe they are fucked. Without prime Kobe they wouldn't win title in 09 and 10.
While Spurs play team basketball and do not depend on anyone. I bet Gregg can make 40+ wins with average roster. He is that kind of coach.

Some very good insight. However, I would say that Mills and Diaw have improved massively, and Marco may be the best Free Agent acquisition this year. I think we look a lot better and a lot more balanced.

You're right about us being able to win without Duncan in the Regular Season. This team, at the moment, is essential a Reg. Season one. However, if Duncan and Tony don't play their best in the Playoffs, our titles hopes will quickly fade. Parker has looked especially poor as of late, although Duncan has been great (23/9/5/2 in the past few games in under 30 minutes).

Houston and Oklahoma are the worst matchups for us. I think we can beat one of them under the right circumstances, but not both (which appears to the case with the current seedings, providing no upsets in the postseason).

Either way, the Western Playoffs this year are going to be crazy.

Marco is a fantastic pickup for the Spurs, Gregg loves players like him.. And yeah Diaw and Mills improved a lot.. They look like a better them indeed.
I think Parker will step up his game in playoffs, he always does.

Playoffs gonna be really fantastic. Can't wait!

lol, significantly worse, than we were in 2012?

durant is farrr better than he was in 2012, so is russell westbrook, ibaka is better, reggie jackson has killed you guys all year.


we know the spurs better than anybody in the league, and we have the better athletes, and talent.

spurs doesnt match up as well against okc,as they do against miami.

[Mnjaro]

Spurs are rolling right now, hopefully they havent peaked to early, dont think they have though, how many games ahead are they of OKC for the 1 seed?
