Spurs really are that team who has been super good near 90% of the time since the late 90’s.

Well, basically up until 2019 or so, then there was 4 solid years of being at the bottom. But the whole run with Robinson into Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, then having Kawhi and the few years with him leading after Duncan retired…that was a massive time span.

Amazing organization.

Veserius | NBA

then there was 4 solid years of being at the bottom.

I think this overstates how long they were truly bad. they won 32 and 33 games in shortened seasons, then 34 in a full season, then 22 in the two tanking years.

they made the play in twice in that span, they weren’t true celler dwellers.

It’s been 7 years since the playoffs, my friend. That is a long time for us - some of us got really entitled and suffered greatly, but it seems we will finally be able to watch the Spurs in May again. Maybe even June.

Akipella | Warriors

1 | 43 minutes ago

Yeah mainly I was thinking of the 2 years back to back they went 22-60

Veserius | NBA

3 | 33 minutes ago

For the Spurs it’s very much out of character though. This 6 year stretch of missing the playoffs is ⁶⁄₁₀ of the total times they’ve missed the playoffs since entering the NBA in 1976.

Getting Wemby and Castle out of the two tank years was definitely worth it though.

Arguably similar levels of defense or higher due to the Wemby factor along with good defenders around him that fit their scheme with a better offensive potential in the playoffs than that team. Are we just gonna ignore the physical games they win (they ofc lose some of those every team has a different kinds of losses throughout a season) or the come from behind games they win against good teams or the “oh shit the good team is fighting back let’s win this in the 4th” games.

Very fair to not have the Spurs as the favorites in the west goes to show how good the West is but I don’t think the Spurs only play one way to win. Victor by himself is very versatile on offense along with their main 3 playmaking guards who are all better passers than Amen and better shooters and ball handlers. Compared to Amen who is very athletic he isn’t the paint touches their guards are. At best he’s similar to Steph and and Harper.

I think the Spurs have better passers and drivers overall within the team and even better “prove it to me” shooters given what their 3 guards can do.

I can’t wait to see Wemby adapt in the playoffs his capacity to learn things relatively quickly is scary he came into the league as having below average vision but has become a better passer over these seasons and his scoring from different levels allows more passes to teammates.

Any_Garbage_4359

Nope its a fluke #1 seed by the spurs. If okc was even remotely healthy all season this would be a 10 game gap. We’ll see the talent gap during the playoffs when rotations get shorter and the lights get brighter

yeah because wemby and fox were healthy all season

Any_Garbage_4359

Okc starting 5 played 45 minutes together total so fox and wembys injuries had zero effect on their season

No where near as much as OKC has had. Okc starting 5 has played 45 minutes together total and key bench players have missed like half the season already

They are either in 7th grade or from Oklahoma and thus have at most a 7th grade education.

I think Mitch has finally found his rotations and how to best use Vic on offense.

Love the passing. Even Devin is starting to play like Fox, Steph and Harp, but with a better 3-ball.

Good win, even if it was the Kangz and they hung around through 3 quarters. Won every quarter tonight.

averagejoeag | Spurs

We have a legit 10 person rotation, and we don’t have to play anyone over 30 minutes. It’s a nice position to be in, for sure.
