honestly depends on what moves we make this offseason

u gotta look sure parker gonna remain the same player and leonard will get alot better and green should get better

but duncan is a toss up on how he will play he is THE GOAT PF but he is 37 and i dont even know if he can replicate what he did this yr next season also

manu is just done from my point of view sure u can keep him but dont offer him alot this time around and not rely on him either

splitter just needs too be more aggressive going too the hole he can work on that in the offseason

so to be honest NO WE ARE NOT CUZ WE DONT KNOW HOW THIS OFFSEASON PANS OUT
AND HOW MUCH MORE IMPROVEMENT WE WILL GET FROM THE YOUNG GUYS

i dont count leonard in that area cuz he been consistent :blessed:

I wouldn't worry about Duncan. He takes care of his body and although he has a bad knee he still is going to be skilled enough to win most nights.

Malone was averaging 20 and 10 into 40 years old.

I just don't believe in OKC until they get a big man who can score.

They are an iso heavy team that relies on jump shots and turnovers. Even if they had Russ, I think Memphis beats them in 6 or 7. Just watching their offense in half court and Scott Brooks coaching is just horrid sometimes.


And Durant's lack of post skills doesn't help either.

You are out of your mind if u think memphis still beats okc with westbrook. Did u see how close they were in those games without him ? okc lost harden but improved defensively so they are still the favorite.

I disagree with yall that can never beat the heat also. That really depends on wade. If he's like he was this postseason they could get with them for sure.

they have cap space, and folks actually want to play for pop

spurs will resign splitter, neal and i gurantee manu comes back on prob a 2 year 9 million dollar deal. there are alot of "spurs type" guys out there. What if buford fs around and gets a andre iguodola, a paull milsap, a david west?

nobody in the west beating Durant and Westbrook..........

Warriors can. Until OKC gets a viable Center I dont really fear them like that. We all know Heat will win at least one more just a matter of three peating. As it stands I dont see anybody knocking them but I can def see Bosh getting injured and then them losing in the Eastern Finals to Chicago next year.

We need to sign big Al to put next to Duncan, get rid of Manu and sign Jarrett Jack to take over his knucklehead hero ball fukkery catalyst role, and solidify our bench with a couple more key pieces, especially another good wing defender. And stay healthy. Then we should be straight.

Memphis took OKC to 7 in 2011 and they had a triple OT game in that series.

Ibaka didn't do anything to halt Zbo and Perkins was horrible last month

Russ would have won a game or two by himself but I think Memphis is very capable of just making them exclusively jump shooters. Plus Memphis takes care of the basketball and rebounds. A formula for success despite their lack of shooting.

OKC is overrated and Barkley's simple analysis of them is on point. You ain't beating no one only shooting jumpers off of ISO clear outs early in the shot clock.

Thunder is not coming out the west next season. The Spurs got the West on lock because they have cap sspace to sign a young PF and can shift Duncan to the Center position. They should keep Splitter as the backup big man. There isn't much changing the Spurs need to do to get back to the Finals. They can repeat the same success and end up with a ring.

Theyve got 43 mil committed to 8 guys

Ginobili should play for 1 mil, he owes em

If they xouild grab milsap snd mayo :leon:

If they somehow ended up with Mayo as well as Milsap and could bring Green and Neal off the bench with their shooting the Spurs would have to be the favorites to come out the West provided Duncan and Parker would be healthy.
