The Spurs without David Robinson would've collapsed, like they did when he broke his foot.
But not this team, we still have a shot at the number one seed after loosing 5 straight games (now 7-2) without TD. Sure they struggled a bit at the beginning, now they're learning to play to their other strengths, their guards. Manu was unbelivable against Clippers (leading scorer to 4 of the spurs W's).
TP followed an impressive game against the Clips to an even more impressive showing against the Warriors.
This guy went against a top 3 PG and wouldn't let himself get out played. I think TP was having flashbacks of Marbury and said :cuss this shit isn't going to happen again. He showed the nads that nobody said he had, he carried this team like no other Spurs PG has before. I think most of our concerns (endurance, heart and clutchness) have been answered. Just needs to be more consistent. But when you have three legitimate all stars, its hard to be aggressive/on everynight.
Back to DRob.
That just goes to show how good DR was. He never had a supporting cast, but he made everybody that much better. Obviously TD does too, but not like DR. He made Sean and Avery look so good, they got/getting their jerseys retired with the Spurs. You put a healthy in his prime DR with this team, and they're even more scarier. Wow we are lucky to have both these guys play for the Spurs.
It's good to be a Spurs Fan.
