Dubs D will be so strong defensively with green starting. There's a bit of 04 Pistons about that team.

I think the Horncats have a chance. They have something of a counter to the Pacers with good, steady, no-gamble defense featuring MKG, and an offense featuring a consistent low post scorer and a speedy guard who can get hot. Secret weapon is McRoberts, who can shoot the outside shot and is a great passer.

One thing to note is Horncats' bench is garbage, while Pacers have a capable bench (even though the stats say the opposite).

I think these late year meaningless losses are good for teams. It's good for the Spurs and Heat to have to go into the film room to stay focused.

Because focus has always been an issue for the Spurs...

I think its hard to deny that they have been/are the most focused, intellectual, and cohesive team for quite some time. They just lack a LBJ/Durant level talent right now because Duncan is only DUNCAN in limited time. This team with a healthy 2007 Duncan would have won the last 2 titles with few issues.

And that's not even giving due credit to Manu who is also past his prime or the fact that Tony Parker has been playing with injury issues for the latter half of the season.

If San Antonio's big three were still in their prime and healthy the Spurs would be unstoppable. It's remarkable to even consider.

Exactly. They depend on their role players to make up the difference, and I haven't been too impressed when there have been several young guys on the floor in the last two games. Those are the guys that may need to be reigned in.

I bet you didn't think "Mason Plumlee blocked LeBron's game-winning dunk attempt" would be the headline tonight.

The sad thing about the Spurs is even though they are (and have been) amazing, their "big 3" really never got that many healthy seasons together (and I agree, Manu was D-Wade-levels of good at one point). Or really before that.

Duncan had to sit out 2000 playoffs with an injury, then there was the legitimate Shaq-Kobe Dynasty (which they legitimately upset in 2003)

Since then, the "big 3" won in 2005, 2007, had a crazy 2006 (which I would have loved to see that Duncan-Shaq matchup). Since 07 I dont think the team has had its full cohort of healthy/in their prime players.

Yeah, they really have not been that lucky. The Derek Fisher 3. 2 years ago where Timmy and Ginobili got injured at the end of the year.

Sucks for David Lee to get injured two straight years for the playoffs (if it's true that he will miss this years playoffs that is).
Looking forward to seeing them in a playoff setting with Draymond at the PF though.

"hacked" LOL

If someone tried to call that in a rec league game, respect for them would be lowered.

The Pacers may not do it in style but they'll crush them.

Greens an upgrade at PF for the dubs imo.


Al Jefferson will not let it be a crushing. That man is a monster.

Also, I will be watching every single game of the Warriors in the playoffs. That team is too much fun to skip out on in a series.

As much as the Spurs have had hard luck with their big 3 being hurt, they also had some luck vs the Suns during their peak years. In 2005, the Suns lost Joe Johnson (crucial piece) for the first two games of the series due to him fracturing his face in the previous round vs. the Mavs. In 2007, there was Nash getting his nose split open, which limited him in Game 1, and the infamous Horry cheap shot on Nash that resulted in the ridiculous suspensions of Amare and Diaw. I always felt that those were the prime opportunities for Nash and D'Antoni to win rings that were largely wasted due to random bad luck and a cheap shot.

BTW. That wasn't a foul on Plums, he got ball then he got hand. Hand is part of the ball.

You could've called a foul on Joe Johnson but it would've been a weak ass ticky tack foul that never gets called in the closing seconds of a ball game.

Not to mention Plums got fouled like fucking hell on the possession before that, so it all evens out in the end even IF you wanted to call a foul on JJ.

Heat got beat.

Now that was a hack. Plumley may have got a little hand but it's nothing in comparison. Unsurprisingly Lebron ran around like a spoilt girl on a candy high. Refs will give him the call next time just to avoid the whine and theatrics.
