no TP, no Leonard, no Mills, Splitter limited.

Only thing concerning is TD logging too many minutes

Like I said:

"The fact a team without a superstar hasn't repeated is only one string of the bow - where the arrow lands won't be because this conventional wisdom you speak of is a cause as to why they'll fail - it's just to add to the fact that the same probability of luck isn't likely to strike two seasons in a row. This is only scratching the surface as to what they'll need to go their way this season:

Secure #1 seed
Largely remain injury-free
All three of Parker, Duncan and Ginobili to maintain their games (relative to what their bodies can cope with)
Role players step up another level and at the right times
Kawhi to develop his game and grow into a star
Maintain the gap on the competition or at least keep them out of team difference
Injuries (e.g. Ibaka last season) to other other squads
Have 50/50 calls go their way in every series and at certain turning/momentum points in games
Ability to stay fresh enough to counter balance the youth of other teams throughout the playoffs
The reliance on other teams' stars not having career performances
The reliance on other teams' role players not outplaying theirs"

They had pretty much everything go their way last season, we're already seeing now (not even half way through the season), that those same pieces won't fall into place for them this season.

All you have to do is read between the lines, and not just go on a cursory first take. That rested schedule won't be successful again, as the innate nature of a band-aid approach is temporary; most of the teams in the Western conf playoff picture are stronger this year (while the Spurs are weaker), ready and waiting to reopen those wounds.

No matter how much you keep saying it it won't automatically become true. The Spurs aren't weaker. You call it a band aid because there's no precedent for it but band aids don't win titles. You need to tell me exactly why it can't carry over from one season to another. Tell me which role players lose themselves. Tell me how Pop fails to redress imbalances that develop in the squad. Tell me how being better rested and healthier come the post-season hurts then Cause I can't see it.

We're are seeing right now why this resting system isn't carrying over to this season. The Spurs are weaker and teams are stronger. They won't be able to take the same approach they did last season and expect to get the #1 seed, another advantage they won't have in the postseason. The size of the snowball they were able to create in the playoffs last season won't be as large this time around.

The problem is Kawhi Leonard's durability

The Spurs are a completely different team with him on the floor

And Patty Mills brought a dimension of hustle and even more shooting. Joseph is playing well though.

Spurs are a .500 team without Leonard. It's evident again this year as it was last year when they were 8-8 without him.

And Tony Parker is now inconsistent. You don't know if he's gonna have a great game or put up a dud. His health situation is also a major question mark

The Spurs are in serious danger of missing the postseason and not even getting a chance to defend their title. I guess Gil Scott was right. The West took a major jump and the Spurs also can't beat OKC or HOU at all.

By the time they're healthy they will be chasing for an 8th seed.

It's nikkas out here rooting for :trash: teams or squads that ain't got a snowball chance in hell at beating us in a 7 game series worrying about the Spurs

Still got wins over Dallas, Memphis, LAC, Golden State, and Cleveland. We gonna get healthy, win 7/8 of 9 games on the Rodeo Trip, pull off a long winning streak in March/April like they always do, and be in the Conference Finals like ain't shyt changed

Long story short we ain't worried bout these nikkas like Rich Homie say :yeshrug:
