Here's the deal. Duncan is playing in beast mode, he will continue to shine. TP needs to be healthy and playing well, this is a good series to get going, and if he can't we are screwed anyway. Kawhi is the teams 3rd best player. He cannot disappear. He will be responsible for the wing defense. Manu will probably never be vintage again, but if he's there in the crunch, that's ok. This playoff run relies solely on the others.
A. Gary Neal~playing better as of late, must continue to do so. We will need some big shot Bob heroics from him at some point. See Memphis series 2011 ;)
B. Danny Green~he can be inconsistent and that's fine, but he will have to play some big games.
C. Tiago Splitter~he will have to stand tall, not get into foul trouble and grab boards. He'll get most of his points pick and roll and put backs.
D. Boris Diaw~we need him back ASAP. Aggressive preferably.
E. Bonner, Blair, whoever plays back pg, and I guess maybe Tmac~we need a big game or quarter from one of these guys ala Kerr, Oberto, or Horry from time to time.
What beat us last year was the lack of the A,B,C,D, and E guys stepping up. Sjax was the only letter player that didn't wilt under the OKC lights. If our Collison and Ibaka can get hot at the right times, you better look out. Tbh, if we can find some rhythm quickly this is not too much to ask. And the good news is we don't need it all to happen at once, just a little from here and there. The Spurs could lose to the Lakers. I would wanna pull out my pubic hair one by one first, but it could happen. We can beat La, and we can beat the Nuggets. And if we find some rhythm , we can make a run. Dallas did it and so can we. Believe my friends. Believe.
