absolutely not. If with prime Duncan, Pop would make the Spurs play the old defensive way which means no playing time for defensive scrubs such as Bonner, Neal, Blair or even Hill.
the team's scoring would go through Duncan giving a lot less touches to Manu + Parker. and Spurs would score about 80-90 ppg. Our record would be worse due to our offense being stagnant again. So that spurs team would be regular season much worse than this one.
On the other hand, that Spur team would be a true legit contender and not a question mark like this one.
Thats a good point. This team would be going to duncan every play then.
