Sleeping on the Spurs.............Again

[phoenix18]

While everyone is slurping the Lakers and discussing Artest's arrival, I see the return of a dominating and dark foe. Yes, the spurs are back. This team is deep. Look at their roster.

DeJuan Blair
Matt Bonner
Tim Duncan
Michael Finley
Manu Ginobili
Malik Hairston
Marcus Haislip
George Hill
Richard Jefferson
Ian Mahinmi
Roger Mason
Antonio McDyess
Tony Parker
Theo Ratliff
Marcus Williams

That is a deep team right there. And they have some rookies that should make an impact immediately.What do you guys think?

As a fellow Oregon alum, I'd love to see Hairston fill in for what the aging Finley used to do.

[Darkthug]

2nd round at best.

The thing is, they are just so deep that they can give their bread and butter some more breathers. Which for SA means not playing a game. Hairston will be interesting as well as Mcclinton(if they sign him).

everyone is saying they're the 2nd best team in the west...how is that sleeping on them?

If they don't win it this season they never will.

I feel its quite the opposite. Until the current spurs prove they are a better team than the lakers, nuggets, magic, celtics and maybe even cavs, then people should continue to sleep on them for a good reason. Not saying they are not capable of doing big things though.

I'm not.

I pick the Spurs over the Hawks in the Finals (we need another big).

I forgot about Ratliff. He'll be useful in the playoffs.

And they add Keith Bogans

Well, last year everyone said Boston were the team to beat because they were reigning champs, same goes this year Lakers are the team to beat and as far as the western conference goes I'm pretty sure most agree Spurs are the best chance of beating them.

if manu comes back healthy it will be a very interesting season.

I think it's a team that if everyone is healthy, is still a level below the Lakers because their bigs are either Duncan (fantastic), young and unproven, or 100 years old. and that IF everyone is healthy is such a big IF none of us want to get happy about the lakers losing because its all going to go up in a puff of smoke the first time manu or tim twists their ankle.

so if the playoffs start and they are healthy, sign me up for the non-doubters list. as of now, i think its sketchy.

Not you, too.

[Kebab Stall]

I'll probably end up watching more Spurs games this year than Memphis games. SA have got a bunch of awesome players and 2 of my absolute favourite players to watch in Tim Duncan and Dejuan Blair. IF they everyone can stay healthy (that's a pretty big IF) then they are the 2nd best in the West and the only team with a reasonable shot at beating the Lakers.
