There was a post last week questioning whether the Spurs were able to bang down low with the more physical teams in the league. NBA.com provided some stats on the average weights of the teams and the Spurs are third from the last. I dont think this is necessarily hardcore evidence that they are "soft" or lack a physical dimension, but it is something to consider especially since their only loss was to Seattle, a team with the third heaviest average.
