The remaining schedule for the Spurs is hell. HELL!!! They need our support to make things happen, especially with the french guy out.

Since this season hasn't gone very well so far I thought I would look ahead. Haven't watched a lot of college ball so I wanted to know what you guys thought of this year's prospects.

Ok, the rodeo is gone and we barely got out of it with a winning record. The season has not gone exactly how most would have liked. Everything seems so gloomy in Spursland. Still, these are our San Antonio Spurs, the best team of the last decade. We need to remember what got us to the top. The motto for this season is "Come Together" but we, as fans, seem to be drifting further apart.

It's an 800 pound gorilla but really just a big monkey.
We like monkeys don't we? 0.o

The last 12 years have been good for the city of San Antonio. The city won all four of its championships during this period. After the earliest exit from the playoffs in years, it's clear that the glory days of the Spurs are gone. That being said, most Spurs fans (myself included) believe that as long as there is a Spur wearing # 21 on the floor, we have a chance at a championship. But lets just say our time is up, for now, are we ready to accept that fact or will we always expect rings come June? How bout it guys? How will you feel when that time comes?

I've said it before that when The Big Fundamental leaves, the team will belong to one William Anthony Parker. But we all know that Tim Duncan has been the face of the franchise for the past 12 years. While reading this article the question came up and I found myself pondering it for some time. In the article it says "It’s hard to tell how much of his success stems from having Duncan (and Manu Ginobili) on his team." and even though I think Tony is a great player who is well deserving of all his success, I still think it's a fair statement to make. I think that, with help, Tony Parker is perfectly capable of continuing the success that Spurs fans have come to expect. He showed me that he is capable of leading a good team with his play this last season. However, it's always good to get a second opinion. So I'm asking the faithful PTR members.

I always hear people saying things like "I've been a Spurs fan all my life." and "I remember when the Spurs were..." Unfortunately for me I can't say either of these things. I only recently became a Spurs fan. In fact I only recently became a fan of basketball. All the hoopla with the offseason trades, signings, draft, summer league, injuries and expectations for the season to come has made me think about when I first became a Spurs fan.

I saw a FanShot by Big50 entitled "Spurs get no love". It showed that only 7% of people thought that the Spurs would win the championship next season. I started to get mad at the 93% of fans who didn't pick the Spurs feel bad about my teams chances, but then I came to my senses. So people don't expect us to win. Alright, do they ever? And yet still every single year we're right there with all the contenders. So if we have to go through the season without any love from the fans and the rest of the NBA, then so be it. We like it that way.

This offseason has been one of the greatest in recent memory. So many great additions to the Spurs roster. So much promise for next season. It's been a while since I have seen the Spurs at a point where everyone - not just Spurs fans - but everyone sees the Spurs as a contender. This is an exciting time to be a Spurs fan.  There have been a lot of recent threads about a Spurs championship in 2010 (I'm guilty of that myself) and a whole bunch of talk about the new roster and expectations. All this is great but all I really want is for the season to start. I want to see a game already. It's been months since I've seen a basketball game, and even longer since I've seen the Spurs play. The only game I've seen since the Playoffs ended has been an old recording of a Knicks/Nets game. (Knicks won) We can sit here and talk about all our expectations for the upcoming season but I'm about ready to get it started. As a basketball fan I can't help but be excited to see how the season will turn out, for every team.

The Spurs seem have a loaded roster for next season, definitely seems like one of the deepest teams in the league. It should be fun to see what the regular rotation would look like. That's just my biggest question; the rotation. What exactly would it look like? There are a bunch of different options for a starting line-up and the main reason is the ridiculous number of bigs on our roster. I mean are Pop and R.C. running a big man camp in SA? Tim Duncan asked for some help up front on the boards but it seems like the Spurs got big-happy this summer. I wonder how all these bigs will work out.
