You guys want to crown their asses right now, then go ahead and crown them.
Not crowning them. Just not calling them done. ;)
Exactly. They are not buried, just simply in the mix. I'd still put LA slightly ahead of them, but I think the Spurs are still there with almost all the Western teams in the playoff hunt that could easily go on a run to the finals. I think GS and Denver are too flawed to make the finals, but otherwise the West is wide open for the current 1-7 seeds (assuming Yao gets back).
Dallas and Phoenix, the two teams that have been there with SA the last 4 or 5 seasons, are also declining it appears.
Back to being LA vs. SA like the good ol' days!
dont spin me. i believe it was glen D doing the burying, not the board saying they would win it all.Quote:

Alls I'm saying is, have the playoffs started yet? Then how does inferring that I am wrong because they are beating the Atlantas and Charlottes of the world make sense?Quote:

And while I did disclaim that statement with "as curently constructed" and they have since made the Kurt Thomas acquisition, and then the Suns went ahead and decided to eliminate themselves, clearing the path a bit for SA, I'll stick to my original statement.
I don't think they make the WCF, and I'm not wrong unless they do.
So again, if you guys want to crown them right now, go ahead.

The guy that also clearly stated in said thread that it didn't have anything to do with recent losses, only with how I had seen them perform with my own eyes.

From what I've seen myself this year (probably parts of 6-7 games), they've looked old, slow and not very deep.
I just can't see them suddenly being young, fast and deep during the playoffs.
They are winning a lot of regular season games lately, I'll give them that.
They didn't look that in the playoffs last year. They looked veteran and complete.Quote:

Los Spurs esta finito
^ LOL
I'm surprised the Suns managed to wear Duncan down towards the end of the game..
I guess during big games, outside of Manu,Little Tony, and TD, no one else wants to show up

Probably, but it's interesting that it's even a possibility that they'd be home come playoff time.

I would love to see SA not even make the playoffs. I don't hate them all that much, but it would just be really funny.

I see that you were all taken aback by those.
Spurs fans are seriously the most effeminate fans I've ever seen. Christ.
The one with Horry hitting that three kinda hurt, the rest were just stupid spurs fans.
I'd rather have a first round knockout, but that's fine with me too.Quote:

Done.
The Spurs mentally crumbled in the 2nd half tonight. That was pathetic.
How do you blow a 20+ point lead? I mean, they have a competent coach and everything
I'm convinced.
Don't think that I take any pleasure in this.
This is hitting me as hard as it is hitting you guys and the rest of SpursNation.

Is that flame slowly going out Glenn?
Someone needs to remake that into a flaming flop

Watching Spurs fans trash their team is hilarious. It's like watching 90210...you don't get how kids who live in Beverly Hills have all of these problems.
Disclaimer: I'm not comparing the cities.
On like a 6 game winning streak now or something like that.
Ok, are you guys done? Or are you going to make another run at the title? CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!!
My boy Hollinger weighs in.

San Antonio Spurs
Glass half-full: Relax, we do this every year.
Glass half-empty: This sure seemed easier when everybody wasn't 30-something.
Key factoids you might not know: San Antonio began its late surge even later than usual, not really turning things around for good until late March. But now the Spurs have won eight in a row and seem likely to be the No. 2 or No. 3 seed in the West.
As usual, the defense is the key. The Spurs have been in the middle of the pack offensively all season, but rank third in defensive efficiency. They're the league's best defensive rebounding team, pulling down 76.9 percent of opponents' misses, and as usual they defend the 3-point line with ferocity. San Antonio gives up the fourth-fewest attempts -- only 19.5 percent of opponents' shots are 3s -- and are second only to Boston in 3-point defense at 33.8 percent.
But the reason San Antonio is so close to the rest of the Western pack rather than head and shoulders above is that several key role players have begun declining. Bruce Bowen, Michael Finley, Brent Barry, Jacque Vaughn and especially Robert Horry have all seen their output diminish due to age, injury or both, and as a result, on too many nights Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili are left to carry the offense entirely. Barry's calf problem in particular has been a setback, because his still-deadly shot is an incredible deterrent to help defenders.
