SA Spurs 2009-10 new players:
Antonio McDyess
DeJuan Blair
Richard Jefferson
Keith Bogans
Theo Ratliff
Marcus Haislip
6 new players, 0 waived so far....
After the first 12 games:
03-04: 12-10 (finished the season 57-25)
09-10: 12-10 (????)
Key players on both teams: Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili
Coach: Gregg Popovich
Team Statistics:
03-04
PPG: 91.5
OPPG: 84.5 (!)
FG%: 44.2%
OFG%: 40.9%
3P%: 35.8%
O3P%: 32.7%
09-10 (so far...)
PPG:101.9
OPPG: 97.5
FG%: 48.0%
OFG%: 45.5%
3P%: 39.3%
O3P%: 35.4%
Injuries: Tony Parker missed 7 games in 03-04 and missed 4 games this year during both of the 1st 22 games. Manu Ginobili missed 5 games, while Duncan missed 2 games so far this season.
Reason behind this: I just wanted to pointed out how a new roster and injuries has affected the Spurs in the past during the start of the season. Of course these 2 teams have different mentalities. The 2003-04 Spurs ended up being possibly one of the greatest, if not the greatest defensive teams ever in the NBA, while this years team is arguably the better offensive team for the Spurs organization in the past decade. I'm not trying to make any pre-judgements; like stated before, I just wanted to show you how the Spurs organization have had to dealt w/ a new roster of players from different systems, yet in the past ended up w/ a winning record.
