The NBA gradually thinned out over that period. The recovery was aided by a bunch of successively better drafts -- and also by the end of the era of the ISO play.

The 2003 Spurs were an amazing team -- 4 hall of famers and stacked with role players. Probably my favorite Spurs team of all time. But the rest of the league just wasn't that deep at that point.

My fave Spurs team as well, the thing is the East was such a joke in those days nobody coming out had a shot! That was not our hardest road because of that. Spurs still beat the threepeat Champs, he fails to mention that in there like I said when mentioning Webber being out etc. Lets face it, if the Spurs lost to LA that year NOBODY was seeing them in the WCF's, period.

He is off on quite a few things he said.
