Well you gotta look at the way they win games. Teams that win reg season games in ways that don't win games in the playoffs are regular season teams.

Like Boston. They won in regular season with effort. By playing hard. In the postseason everyone plays hard so that advantage is negated.

The Spurs won games because they had the best bench in the league. When starters play more minutes in the playoffs the impact of the Spurs having the best bench was marginalised. And that's why we saw them bow out in rd2 even though they won 65+ games. That's why they are a regular season team. The way they won games in regular season simply does not translate to postseason. Bench don't matter that much come April and may.

And hey I called it last year before we even got to the midway point of the season. I'm admittedly not a casual fan TBH I wouldn't expect a casual fan like you to be able to see what I saw in them last year.

All of this is irrelevant. Your definition of a regular season team as stated earlier still means 2016 warriors are a regular season team. I win you lose too ba so sad. Not a casual fan either, I wouldn't expect you to understand much about basketball based on these conversations tho. You doubt Pop, obviously you're either stupid, a Spurs hater, or a troll. Considering your a Rockets fan, it's becoming pretty obvious you just don't respect how great of a coach Pop is. Spurs have a great chance to make conference finals this year and last year it's not debatable, they're a great championship caliber team.
