Fellow Spurs fans

Who else here thinks that our beloved team is being severely underrated going into this season?
I don't think many casual fans watch our team, so they don't really know half the crap they talk about. Do any of you guys doubt that Ginobili will come back with a vengeance and tear **** up next year? Does anyone think the George Hill won't continue to excel in his 2nd year in his backup PG role? The kid was running the team like a man in his rookie year while Parker was out.
What about Blair? We all know he is going to be a rebounding force which we desperately needed. Mason? Does anyone else think in his 2nd year he will improve even more? Most FA acquisitions are notorious for stinking up their first year in SA and coming into their own in the 2nd, which makes it even better because he played quite well and I think he will only play better with another year under his belt.
What about Duncan? Do any of you guys question his conditioning? We've all read that he is thinner and leaner than ever and even Popovich said he is coming back fiery and determined for his 5th ring. And Jefferson. I feel like everyone is paying more attention the additions of Artest, VC, Wallace, etc, when the Spurs got the perfect player for their system who addresses the glaring holes we had last year while giving us another 20ppg threat.
Now let's talk about McDyess. Personally, I think next to Duncan he will excel. He has always been a superb rebounder and tenacious player and he's never really played next to a big man of Duncan's quality. Hell even Theo Ratliff I think will be able to contribute in his limited minutes with key blocks and rebounds/defense.
And let's not forget about Tony motha-effin Parker. Does anyone doubt that he will up his scoring average and perhaps even his assists with another capable option in Jefferson? The dude is already a top 3 PG in the NBA and just gets better every year. I think his 28.6ppg versus the Mavericks was a preview of what's to come.
The only real unknown hear is Haislip. He was a lottery pick back in 2002 I believe and has polished his game overseas, matured, and added a reliable three point shot. If he even halfway pans out to be the player we hope, he gives us someone to defend the likes of Odom, Nowitzki, etc.
All in all I think we have revamped quite nicely and there's not much else the Spurs can do to improve except maybe go out and trade for a defensive specialist. So, my fellow Spurs fans, give me your thoughts, feedback, and opinions on the upcoming season for our beloved Spurs.
