What if Chris Bosh signed with the Spurts this off season and started at the 4?

Having watched over 95 percent of all Spurs games since the Duncan/Pop era began, I can definitely say two things thus far: (1) this is one of the most talented Spurs teams ever assembled, and (2) this team simply hasn’t meshed yet. They are not executing on offense and are missing assignments on defense. And injuries have slowed down the chemistry process.

Once they figure it out–trust me, they will–they will be up there in the West. I expect their +/- average to be around 7.0 which is close to what the Lakers had last year.

They’ll definitely be a team to avoid in the playoffs.

“to contend with us” sounding a bit like dc my man. i didnt know the lakers were the only team in the league we had to play.

but yeah we need another big man.

this article’s too early.

we all know how the spurs operate. they test the waters early, figure out what rotation works and gets down and dirty only by mid-january getting into the playoffs.

td looks lean enough and between him and gasol, imma go with the best power forward in the game.

too bad the rookie dejuan’s too short to handle bynum.

“Simple, rj is completely overrated and he’s not even considered a star. He throws off their whole flow. He was supposed to step up on the nets and bucks and has been a waste”

Couldnt have said it better.. oh and their best (and biggest) big man is showing his age.. they arent tops on defense and WONT be unless Timmay can turn the clock back and provide better help.. hes the only who can really..

Like i said before the year started, they simply arent big enough to truly contend with us.. and i dont mean big enough for rebounds i mean big enough to scare people out the paint..

Man this is just BAU for the spurs, they almost always start slow.

With all the new guys, no spurs fan expected them to start like 20-3. it’s how ya finish that matters.

i.e. Dallas had the best record then lost to Golden State in the 1st round. et al REGULAR SEASON DOESN’T MEAN MUCH.

i.e. New England Patriots can’t finish a perfect season against the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLIII.

uhhhh back to the Spurs – they are playing younger guys this year, too

blair (oberto), hill (vaughn), bogans (udoka), jefferson (bowen)

sorry but that looks younger to me.

i remember they had Kevin Willis, Steve Smith, Steve Kerr, Glenn Robinson, Danny Ferry… lots of vets have won a championship there as role players. McDyess and Ratliff are looking to do the same.

so they have problems with the younger, much more athletic Thunder. but OKC ain’t a real playoff team, either. SA has always been built for 7-game series.

bench bonner, give Blair bonners minutes. Start Ratliff. rest tp more, give Hill those extra minutes. Pray Manu can stay healthy
