    I'm not going to be like some of the idiots on here and bash you.

    But come on man at some point midway through this season the Spurs had the #1 point differential of all time. What you are saying makes absolutely no sense.

    The amazing thing is being able to say whatever you want, without worrying about how it looks to people who follow society's conventional norms. I admire that quality in what.

    Guys, let's rewind about 100 posts -

    It's "dominant". The Spurs are not a "dominant" team. Dominate is a verb.

    "Dominant" can act as both an adjective and a noun...

    The bigger transgression was not that I used "dominate" to account for "dominant," but that I used a 19 word noun phrase (do you know what a noun phrase is?). I'll show you, it's everything that comes before the bold/italic "are":

    Anybody thinking that the spurs are some dominate team that has a chance to do anything in the west are

    Or that I weakened the sentence by qualifying the statement with reproachable (and conversational): probably.

    Course, we aren't in English 101, now are we? (that's a rhetorical sentence).

    The Spurs have a decent chance to make it to 70 wins. I doubt they collapse.

    After the first 24 games of the season (when the Warriors went 24-0 and the Spurs opened 19-5), San Antonio and Golden State have had similar records since then.

    If my team can't win it, I want the Spurs to win it. Pops is simply my kind of guy. Blunt, direct, no muss, no fuss, super efficient, and super smart. And Timmy.......would love to see a real nice guy trump Kobe and tie MJ in rings and make it super difficult for Lebron to match or beat him.

    So how would that make them a barely above 500 team if they lost 18 games in total?

    They will go as far as Aldridge and Leonard take them, no one else. West will be huge come playoff time
