Why are people overrating the Spurs offense...

[9erempiree]

Nobody was praising them when Kobe and the Lakers destroyed them.

Don't overrate them because Miami can't do anything to stop them.

It is actually impressive for the Lakers to beat them with two 7 footers in a league that was transitioning to small ball and a faster pace. This is where I think Kobe should get more credit for leading a 2 slow footed 7 footers to two championships in an era of small ball.

not the same team

[Purch]

The Spurs offense was completley reinvented from 2011 onward.


The basic of the spurs offense prior to that was passing the ball into Timmy on the block

[9erempiree]

They have been running the same shit for years.

For example this is going back to 2003 against the Lakers....



Simple dribble drive and kick. They have always done it but they do it at a faster pace. Instead of the kick to the open guy, the open guy now drives and kicks to another.

huh? i thought it was basic knowledge amongst non-casual basketball fans that their play style is drastically different.


overestimation, i guess...

Do you even watch basketball?

You're comparing this team to the Spurs team 6 years ago that featured guys like old Brent Barry, old Michael Finley, old Robert Horry, old Bruce Bowen as the main role players.

You are comparing old Parker, Duncan and Manu to prime ones that were doing the same shit then.

OP is trolling, but yes, okc nearly beat em with injured ibaka, and completely slaughtered em with harden in 2012

you need a great man to man defender to stop em (in this case OKC has goatbrook)

This x10. 9erempiree is either trolling or he literally has no f*cking clue what he's talking about. As you said the Spurs totally reinvented their offense around 2011 to push the ball more and don't let it stick. Before 2011 they were known as a boring as team to watch offensively.

I can't believe 9erempiree went back and compared this team to a team that is literally a decade old.

That was an example to show the Spurs have been running the same system for years.

I can bring up later versions that the Lakers beat too.

9erempire serious question, do you even know how to dribble?

So Parker, Duncan and Manu are a decade old back in the days?

Ok.

Boring team to watch? I never thought they were boring. Only casual fans would say that. Basketball aficionados like myself never thought they were boring and you want to say I have no clue?
