Even with Marion, Mavs can't touch the Spurs, right?

Um, you watched the playoffs this year, right? San Antonio obviously will be better adding Manu, Jefferson and McDyess to that crew, but I don't think it's a given that they beat out Dallas.

That must mean that the Spurs will beat the Mavs
John Hollinger.. jinxing teams since 1996
Hollinger is still butt hurt over that "Spurs won't make the playoffs" prediction in last years preseason.
Me: Hollinger is not a given to be a decent Sportswriter.
It's true.
But who knows if the spurs will actually run into Dallas in the playoffs next season.
I guarantee this though, both teams want that series to happen again.
Tim Duncan (San Antonio)
With so many teams making big moves, can I really win a championship next year? Assume Manu is totally healthy.
John Hollinger
The problem isn't Manu's health, it's Duncan's. We just don't know how much the knees are going to hinder him next season, and that's the biggest variable for the Spurs going forward. Based on their spending this summer, seems to me they think they have one year, two max, before they have to start over.
Duncan is a great player even with bad knees.
John Carr (Charleston, SC)
How do you think Antonio McDyess and Richard Jefferson will fit on the court with TD, TP, and Manu? Seems like a solid veteran 5 to have on the court during crunch time...
John Hollinger
Outstanding starting five, I agree, and the pieces fit together pretty well since McDyess can shoot and Jefferson has become fairly proficient at that corner 3. And having Mason and Bonner off the bench as snipers is a nice luxury too. But that's another old team trying to hold it together, much like Dallas.
Lakers not a given to beat Spurs
Celtics not a given to beat Spurs
Cavs not a given to beat Spurs
and vice versa, etc, etc. Pointless
old team? Christ, this guy is completely stupid. The Spurs could possibly have 6 or 7 guys on the roster with less than 3 years of experience. this guy is pathetic.
this asshole Hollinger
lol "Old Spurs"
Another sportswriter taking a shortcut to thinking
No one should be surprised at Hollinger's re ed take on the Spurs. The fact is that it's tough for him to view the entire NBA landscape, with his head so firmly up his ass.
Hollinger is not a given to give quality opinions.
Hollinger IS a given to beat his meat
Parker 27
Mason 28
Jefferson 29
Duncan 33
McDyess 34
Ginobili 31
Finley 36
Bonner 33
Hill 23
Avg age of Top 9 is 30.4 and that's now - not playoff time.
John Mark Carr?
Beat me to the punch. Good post.
I guess the Spurs have too many young players?
bonner is not 33. and the spurs only have 20 something year olds left to sign. haislip, 28 is signed already.
Bonner isn't 33 and Finley won't be playing much
