Zogo posted:Tim Duncan is retired and that's a HUGE deal. He's the second most powerful defender in NBA history behind Bill Russell. Last year at the age of 39 he led the entire league with a DBPM of 5.0 yeah, losing duncan has been painful. he was the heart and soul of the most successful franchise in sports history. that the spurs are currently 2nd in the nba standings is amazing, but the way they're winning games only serves to illustrate the hole duncan left behind him. but there is plenty of hope. for one, they're winning games, including several come from behind wins. and its super early in the season still. i think we just crossed the 25% line? the next forty games (double what we just played) will still be used for development and learning the system. the time to worry about the spurs is after the rodeo road trip. maybe they'll be great! maybe they'll make an early exit in the playoffs! maybe they'll put up a surprisingly good fight or fold to the clippers/warriors! there's absolutely no telling as of now. its really hard to do, especially for a team as consistent as the spurs, but the fans just gotta go with the flow. and trust in pop.

Zogo posted:RW with six straight triple-doubles. Trails only 1989 Jordan and 1962 Oscar with seven straight and 1968 Wilt with nine straight. I believe the stat is that the Spurs had the best defense in the league last year with Duncan on the bench. The defense wasn't all him last year. Going from Duncan to Gasol has been a downgrade though.

I think Bashez raises a good point in that regardless of Timmy it makes no sense the Spurs are better defensively with Kawhi on the bench

Masai, just trade the farm for Millsap or Cousins or whoever. Mortgage the entire future, trade all the young guys, leave the draft barren for a half-decade. I just want to try to have even a 25% chance at beating the Cavs.

I know things get slower in the playoffs but, again, I think you're just fooling yourself if you think their defense is some fatal flaw. It's like two years ago when there was questions about whether they could win a title with their turnover problem.

AggressivelyStupid posted:They sure shut down the mighty pacers The warriors defense was really good tonight. Indiana shot 41 percent and had 13'shots blocked and were run off the 3 point line all night The pacers got 100 points because of the frenetic pace of the game and because they went 33 of 35 from the free throw line, not because of any bad defense

death is cool though because all of the teams who win championships will also die and their accomplishments will be rendered meaningless in the all-devouring maw of eternity, or whatever

Lockback posted:A lot of good defensive players have weird splits, Kawhi is playing a lot of minutes this year so the teams ups and downs are put on him. I think we're saying "this is a weird statistic what explains it?" like ten million years before we're suggesting Kawhi Leonard is not a good defender. Unless Bashez was suggesting that no he wouldn't do that, would he? Whatever's happening it's got some kinda multiplier exaggeration because Ortng is per 100 and Spurs Bench plays faster pace

Dejan Bimble posted:Kidd is giving him DNPs and 8 minutes of playing time per game because he isn't physically capable of defending the pnr the way he wants. It's a waste of resources, but they're not really trying that hard to win so I suppose it doesn't matter. It's hurt his trade value, a lot Monroe was getting DNP because he bitched out Greg Foster on the bench. He has played consistently since they banished Plumlee to the end of the bench (BTW the real worst contract signed). They have him in a Kanter role and that is where he belongs. Maker may be the real starter someday if we want to talk about crazy lineups. Unfortunately Maker knows nothing about positioning and is too raw to play right now. He is awesome at coming in during garbage time and electrifying the crowd ie drilling threes, breaking Birdman's ankles etc though.

Strawberry Panda posted:What defense / offensive combo do you see posing a threat to the Warriors? Generally interested. I think the Spurs can. They have to play out of their minds to do it because they are less talented but they have a matchup that can go really well or really poorly. The Clippers and Cavs, obviously. They're in a similar situation as the Spurs though, I don't think they're good enough. I didn't think the Cavs were good enough last year either and they managed to pull out a win though. predicto posted:The warriors defense was really good tonight.

No one mentioned that Klay had 2 rebounds, 1 assist , 0 blocks, 0 steals, 0 fouls and 0 turnovers to go with his 60 points. Which means if we are going by counting stats he managed beat Kobe's 61 point, 0 rebound, 3 assist, 0 steal, 1 block, 2 turnover, 1 foul game against the Knicks. Will we ever see a 60/0/0/0/0/0/0 game?

GSW had a DRtg of 101 last night and a ORtg of 135. Is a 34 point differential not good enough? What number are you guys looking to see?

It's like you guys forgot everyone agreed they would win a lot of games and score a lot of points. The issue is once the playoffs come they will lose if Durant is still their best rim protector

Strawberry Panda posted:What defense / offensive combo do you see posing a threat to the Warriors? Generally interested. Spurs. They're big, they defend well, they spread the floor, can run the floor if they really want to, and most of all they rebound so they can generate a lot of extra possessions for their offense and limit possessions for the Warriors. Clippers, maybe, if they can do what they were doing early, later in the season. A big team that defends and scores in clips is certainly not something the Warriors want to see. Although they currently seem to have forgotten this stuff. I also still really like the Cavs, they pretty sneakily figured out how to involve Kevin Love in their offense finally and their defense in the playoffs is proven.
