Since game 7 vs the Mavs the Spurs offense...

[MikelArteta]

I'm just wondering how in the hell they struggled so much against the Mavs.

mavs were built perfectly to give the spurs trouble

can space the floor, play great d, all the wily vets stepped up (carter, marion, calderon) great bench depth and rick carlisle

That ball movement they have creates so many scoring options. They have very capable players who know how to get in where they fit in.

Big difference from last year with the Heat is that guys like Battier, Miller and Cole were knocking down shots. Battier isn't hitting shyt anymore, Miller is gone, and Cole and Chalmers have been absent. Not to mention Wade is broken down...it's a wonder the Heat even won a single game.

I hope the reat of the league takes note and starts to let that ball move instead of the stagnant superstar ball we've been seeing.

i do to...

the only thing is, aquiring the talented and willing players to do that is an art within its self.

The Cavs with Embiid would actually have the small early makings of what the Spurs have, just that Irving and Waiters are selfish as shyt.

They actually have capspace this summer

Nearly 10 mil in possible capspace this summer

They pretty much have a clear cap after next season too, other than Splitter(who is on a wisely structured descending contract) having to pay Kawhi

I just looked up their cap situation, and you can tell it was just masterfully handled

This organization is run near perfect from top to bottom

@Malta is going to be depressed when Duncan hangs it up on Sunday

Kyrie would lose his mind playing for Pop....he'd prolly get benched.

no joke.

I'm not convinced...No better way to go out

Nah, I will

That I got to see the last of the great big men, and my all-time favorite player throughout his entire career

no joke.

If he could buy into a system there's no reason he couldn't play like Tony Parker, bring Waiters off the bench in the wild Manu role, and have Embiid be their interior defender and post threat.

Parker and Ginobli are signed on for 1 more season
Duncan wont leave them, and 10 million hanging

they'll use it to keep Diaw and Mills IMO...

2-3 year deals for each

Spurs are set up very nicely flexibility wise...

Splitter and Leonard will be the only significant salaries on the books in 2015... they probably re-sign Parker to his final contract...

 

[mastermind]

this Spurs team is the best team of this decade, so far.

Probably the best team since the 2001 Lakers, if we are going to be honest with ourselves.

I also think the grizz could've given spurs some trouble since they have great perimeter D with zach and gasol clogging the paint.
but yeah pop got this team running like a machine. Even yesterday during garbage time, the scrub players were still running the offense almost as effieciently as the starters
Their offense made OKC's offense look like some JV stuff

the Grizz would not have beaten this Spurs team. Spurs swept them with ease last year, and this was with Manu being injured.
