Daye put up 22pts against this year's SIXERS..the SIXERS AFTER THE TRADE DEADLINE! Look how wide open they left Daye open, he had to nail them, or else Pop wouldn't be playing him. Plus Pop is being blunt to Philly that he is not wasting his big 7-players' energy on them. So he is emptying his bench at them including Austin Daye. Besides the Sixers sucking and letting the Spurs scrubs score over 20, Daye is taking advantage of the Pop-system that night and made the most of it.
Now imagine if Bargs joins the Spurs as well...we are seeing many of our hypotheses brought to life with Daye as an example.

I think many Raps fans need to wait and see what happens in the playoffs before making any assumptions about our ability to contend as currently constructed.

Again, I was facetious about the SAS. Yes they are championship contenders, but not because they have a transcendent, franchise-altering mega-star (Duncan was, Parker was close) that so many seem to feel is a necessity for championship contention. Of all players with 1000+ minutes this year, their big 3 rank 21st, 25th and 31st in PER. However, that is a superb core. They also have a great coach, a great system and a deep deep team.
I think we have to wait even longer than the playoffs before making a truly educated assumption about the Raps. Will Lowry resign and continue to play at an elite level? How many of DD, JV and Ross will continue to improve and how much? How much can MU improve the bench, which is painfully thin in offensive talent.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

The 3 Hall-of Famers are all on the downside of their careers. Are any of the 3 among the 5 or even 10 best players in the league at this point in time? Yet they are the best team in the NBA and have as good a shot of winning the title as anyone.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

I could only see teams like the Clippers, Heat, Pacers and maybe Thunder being ahead of them through those rankings. And if you go further deep and look at their top 8 (realistically who would play in playoff games) I think the Spurs would be even higher, just behind the Clippers.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

DD is definitely not elite. He has waaaaaaay to many flaws. [/end]

Manu is having his back to form from when he was an elite 6th man...so I would also say yes
Duncan has gotten better this year and has learned how to play as an old man, he may no longer be as elite, but I would never count him out of dropping 22-12 on any given night with fantastic defense.
