re: Spurs +375 to win title on Bovada, ridiculous equity

And yet they don't
They could have beaten the heat last year but they didn't
They have also been run out of the building and beaten up in recent years as well
Last year was great but they got smoked by the thunder, they got beat up by the grizz and they got smoked by phoenix
So one finals run with a busted thunder/no Westbrook and three consecutive years of getting their asses handed to them makes for a flawed team in the playoffs

This team is different than those from 2009-2011, is what i'm saying.
Kinda of short-sighted to group all their teams together.

And yet they didn't
Once the heat figured out how to match up Leonard at the four they won the series. Game six was the spurs chance but they didn't close it out
Their system is ideal for winning regular season games because they are so sharp, especially at the end of the season when so many teams have checked out
We'll see. WTF do I know?

It is six seasons of recent history
They are better the last two years but they are still flawed. Timmy and Parker and ginobili don't get faster every year
Leonard is not a crunch time difference maker at a championship level. It is still their core group dominating the end of games

Actually, once they started running Danny Green off the line, that made the biggest difference.
Leonard's bigger value in the series was slowing down LeBron (as much as anyone can, that is).

Great points
Forgot about green getting shut down in game 7
Leonard feasted on offensive rebounding at the four and once that was taken away the easy baskets dried up
ETA
The biggest flaw I see is typically when the defense and pace ramp up they don't get as many easy baskets which makes them prone to struggling to score. This stresses their team defense and burns up the legs on the older guys. Their younger guys don't pick up the offensive slack and it makes them prone to getting beat
I think the clips might cause them problems especially since they are well coached now. Thunder with Westbrook are a real problem for them too
Just my opinion, been wrong before

Pop has 4 rings so obviously it transcends just the regular season

Sure
Last title was Six years ago
Their titles correlate directly to ginobili's production. He was healthy and they won titles. He is broken down and they get beat

their flaw was letting ray allen hit a 3, not fouling bosh, can't even knock down a single FT, or getting a damn rebound off a lebron miss.
3 years ago people said that was it for them, getting beat by memphis it was over.
2 years ago people said no chance in hell when OKC beat them. they went 10 wins in a row before dropping 4 to OKC. "washed up", "dried up", "tired old guys", and "one year older".
last year, people said that was their last hoorah for sure. one more year of age and they blew it.
i ain't doubting them worth shite.

If they have Duncan on the court at the end of Game 6, they win a championship.
They literally beat themselves by keeping their most important defensive/rebounding player, who has been the staple of their run, off the court
Pretty much a brainfart by Pop is the only thing that kept them from winning last year.
So yeah, I don't agree.

Like I said coulda went either way last year. That counts. Certainly proved to be more than a regular season team
Posted on 4/3/14 at 11:35 pm to BayouBengals03
They lost by 19, 16, 3 and 7
They won by 4, 26 and 10
In the finals
There was more than game six to consider
If you like the spurs to win it all then bet them, I don't think it is crazy at all. I just think lebron and two teams in the west are in their way

You are exaggerating my point, I don't think they are just a regular season team. They are flawed to win in the playoffs. They are certainly good enough to win it all, they just don't. In a series against an athletic team that can make adjustments they can be beat, six years of recent history support that. Maybe they win it all this year, I don't know. I am not betting on it

well technically they havent won in 6 years. But they've developed role players over the years that makes them prime for another run. Not saying they will win it all, west is too tough and of course the Heat stand in the way.
still...
do you remember how the end of game 6 went down? in miami?
not sure Miami won on athleticism. more like luck.
Posted on 4/3/14 at 11:51 pm to Lester Earl
Sure I agree
Leonard was a beast
16 boards in game 7
I don't like the spurs but I respect them

Miami was fortunate. It always takes a little bit of good fortune along the way to win a title. Just so happened that theirs occurred at the last possible moment.
shite happens.

You can't say they aren't built for the playoffs, when last years team Swept in the WCF and lost in an epic Finals.
Spurs have added Belinelli, what have the Heat added since last year?

If not for Ray Allens lucky 3 last year they would have won it all and I think they are better this year while the Heat, Thunder and Pacers aren't as good. Its still the NBA though and having the best player on the court is usually enough to win and the Heat have LeBron so its gonna be tough!

The Thunder are better this year.
