Can We Win a Title in the Post-Big Four Era?

[superjames1992]

After all, we haven't won a title since Bruce Bowen hung up his jersey and left the hardwood. Perhaps we should give this Spur his due? :toast

We are yet to find a reliable player that plays wel under pressure as bruce did. That´s the diference.
Having Bowen shoot 3´s a high percentage in crunch time was one of the reason Spurs got away with many wings and Manu mainly (and sometimes Tony) had so open driving lanes to close the game.
Our actual shooters/defenders have yet to be consistent enough for teams to respect their shot in crunch time.

Bowen is still my 2nd favorite Spur ever behind Timmy. I miss him in this series!

Much as I love Bowen, I'd rather have prime Duncan back. Put him with this squad, and we'd win the title this year going away. He was a much bigger part of our defense than Bowen.

Spurs can't win a title, but they can be competitive.
