You sure about that? I think Seattle is feeding off the "no one gives us any respect" thing pretty well and are showing San Antonio what they're capable of. I don't mind the Spurs, but they're such a boring team sometimes. And I don't mind good defense since I'm digging the Pacers/Pistons series, it's just San Antonio's style of play is boring. I mean, their best player's signature shot is a simple low post manuever into a bank into the hoop.
The Spurs signature spot is the high pick & roll by the power forward which is usually Duncan and guard which is usually Parker. The major problem with the Spurs right now is when the team gets in a shooting slump which was the case in the last blowout loss. So when the Sonics want to play physical defense against say Parker, Ginobili, Rasho, Duncan, Horry the Spurs have problems. Problem #1 is when Tony loses his head and tries to do stupid shit like fancy passes off the pick & roll or worse case scenerio give the ball to RASHO. Problem #2 is the fact that RASHO is worthless on the offensive end of the game, yeah, he can get rebounds but the guy is afraid to make tip ins or dunks and tries to pass the ball to Duncan every time. Problem #3 is GINOBILI~ taking too many bumps....I don't know how many times he took an elbow while trying to do a layup. WTF are the offensive options when Parker goes inconsistent, Ginobili is floppin and not getting foul calls, Rasho throwing ways rebounds, and Duncan is getting tripled teamed.....go to Big Shot Rob for the 3?
Oh the drama~
