I agree, their defense will be vastly improved after a few months when this team finally starts to peak. The Spurs are playing pretty poorly, they can only go up from here!

the 3 has always been a big part of the spurs' success.
much more worried about the D than the reliance on the 3pt.
lol jarret jack.
You have to admit this Spurs team is much less dependent on the 3 with parker,gino, and hills ability to drive. Not to mention we have more depth in our frontcourt. The only slasher the suns had was dragic and barbosa.Originally Posted by Hornets78
We've seen this story before and its not been a happy ending.
Spurs are shooting over 40% from beyond the 3-point arc. Fantastic shooting. It's fun to watch.
But it just doesn't win in the playoffs.
Ask the Phoenix Suns the last few years or the Sacramento Kings before that, and especially the 1997-1998 Seattle Supersonics.
All this teams were fantastic from the 3-point arc. Unfortunately all three of these teams suffered in the playoffs.
Good luck
P.S. The Alamo Dome is still empty except for the Alamo Bowl.
The Alamodome is a domed 65,000 seat, multi-purpose facility that is primarily used as a football/basketball stadium and convention center in San Antonio, Texas, U.S. The facility opened on May 15, 1993, at a cost of $186 million.
Along with placating the San Antonio Spurs ownership's demands for a larger basketball venue, the multi-purpose facility was intended to increase the city's convention traffic and attract a professional football franchise. The Spurs played basketball in the Alamodome for a decade, then became disenchanted with the facility and convinced Bexar County to construct them at the San Antonio Livestock Exposition Inc. a new arena now called the AT&T Center.

@ Hornet/Mav fan telling the Spurs what doesn't win in the Playoffs!
Manu is an elite SG.
The only concern is the frontcourt. Blair and Splitter are talented, but will they perform in the playoffs? McDyess can because he's done it before with the Pistons, but he's gotten older since. Plus, Bonner will be getting minutes as well.
The three-guard lineup is deadly, but can the team continue to succeed with Jefferson at the 4?
Guy, everyone knows this. No one defends that hole with no parking in the middle of a 3rd world country.
LOL Alamodome
Lol nba hornets.
Football
[edit] Alamo Bowl
The Alamodome is the site of the annual Alamo Bowl, which usually matches the fourth-choice (not necessarily fourth-place) teams from the Big Ten Conference and the Big 12 Conference. The 2006 Alamo Bowl between the Texas Longhorns and the Iowa Hawkeyes was attended by 65,875, which set a facility-record crowd for a sporting event,[4][5][6] only to have that record broken by an Alamo Bowl event the next year between Texas A&M and Penn State, which drew 66,166 attendees.[7]
[edit] Canadian Football League
The Alamodome was also home to the San Antonio Texans for the 1995 CFL season. The stadium was attractive to the Canadian Football League (which made an ill-fated attempt to expand to the U.S. between 1993 and 1995) since it could accommodate the CFL's larger playing field. In the first CFL playoff game ever played between two U.S.-based franchises, the Texans defeated the Birmingham Barracudas 52–9 at the Alamodome on November 5, The team then lost to the Baltimore Stallions 21–11 in Baltimore on November 11. The Texans folded after the 1995 season due to low attendance, financial problems, and the disbanding of the other U.S. teams.
[edit] Corps Classic
September 16, 2006, marked the first game in a college football "home and home" series, known as the AT&T Corps Classic, between the Texas A&M Aggies and the Army Black Knights. Army has elected to play its "home" game at the Alamodome in order to increase the program's exposure around the nation, as it competes as an independent. A sell-out crowd of 64,583 watched the Aggies defeat the Black Knights 28–24.[1] The second game was played at Kyle Field in College Station in 2008.
[edit] East-West Shrine Game
The 2006 East-West Shrine Game was played in the Alamodome on January 21, 2006. The game is an annual post-season college football all-star game. For most of its history, the game has been played in the San Francisco Bay Area, at San Francisco's Kezar Stadium and at Stanford Stadium. In recent years it has been played at AT&T Park. In 2006, the game was played in the Alamodome, moving out of the San Francisco area for the first time in decades. The Shrine Game was moved once again for its 2007 event, to Robertson Stadium in Houston, Texas.
[edit] National Football League
The Alamodome has played host to six NFL preseason games. Two each were played in 1993 and 1994, one in 1995, and one in 2001.
- August 7, 1993 – Houston Oilers (28) vs. New Orleans Saints (37) – Attendance: 40,308
- August 21, 1993 – Dallas Cowboys (20) vs. Houston Oilers (23) – Attendance: 63,285
- August 6, 1994 – Houston Oilers (31) vs. San Diego Chargers (3) – Attendance: 29,815
- August 20, 1994 – Buffalo Bills (18) vs. Houston Oilers (16) – Attendance: 40,504
- August 26, 1995 – Dallas Cowboys (10) vs. Houston Oilers (0) – Attendance: 52,512
- August 11, 2001 – Minnesota Vikings (28) vs. New Orleans Saints (21) – Attendance: 46,752
In 2005, the NFL announced that the Alamodome would host three of the New Orleans Saints regular season "home" games due to the damage caused to the Louisiana Superdome by Hurricane Katrina. The Saints played the Buffalo Bills (week 4), the Atlanta Falcons (week 6), and the Detroit Lions (week 16) at the Alamodome. Although there have been many NFL preseason and exhibition games held in San Antonio over the years, these games were the first NFL regular season games played in the city. The Saints also played one 2005 season "home" game in Giants Stadium (against the New York Giants) in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and four others in LSU's Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Overall, the Saints averaged 62,665 fans in the 65,000-seat Alamodome for the three games held there, a solid showing despite the short notice to sell tickets due to the hurricane. The Saints and the NFL announced that the team would return to Louisiana for the 2006 season even though at the time the NFL was uncertain where they would play their home games. Additionally, former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue indicated that if the NFL expands again, San Antonio would be on the short list of candidate cities. Even though public opinion is that he would never let go of his team's presence in the San Antonio market, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has acknowledged his support for the city's efforts to become home to an NFL franchise.[8]
- October 2, 2005 – Buffalo Bills (7) vs. New Orleans Saints (19) – Attendance: 58,688[9]
- October 16, 2005 – Atlanta Falcons (34) vs. New Orleans Saints (31) – Attendance: 65,562 (attendance set the facility record for a sporting event at the time; it has been subsequently surpassed by two Alamo Bowl events)[10]
- December 24, 2005 – Detroit Lions (13) vs. New Orleans Saints (12) – Attendance: 63,747[11]
The Dallas Cowboys held their 2002, 2003, 2007, and 2009 preseason training camps at the Alamodome, and will continue to do so through 2011.
[edit] Texas Football Classic
Since 1999, the Alamodome has been home to the Texas Football Classic, which kicks off the high school football season in Texas. Now in its twelfth year, the event has expanded to five games, featuring prominent high school programs from across the state.[12] Former participants include former Chicago Bears and University of Texas running back Cedric Benson, University of Iowa quarterback Drew Tate, University of Houston quarterback Kevin Kolb, and University of Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel.
[edit] U.S. Army All-American Bowl
The U.S. Army All-American Bowl is played each January. The bowl game features the nation's top 80 high school football players in an East vs. West match-up and is televised by NBC. Past games have included players like Reggie Bush, Vince Young, Adrian Peterson, Brady Quinn,[13] and Tim Tebow. The inaugural game was played on December 30, 2000, at Highlander Stadium at Highland Park High School in Dallas, Texas.[14] The bowl game was then moved to San Antonio, where the 2002 match was played in front of an Alamo Stadium crowd.[15] The 2003 game was moved to the Alamodome, where it has been played since.
If you're going to attempt to downplay the Spurs, at least know what you're talking about.
Jefferson only plays the four now when the match-ups dictate it. They Spurs can finish with a variety of different lineups and go eleven deep with rotation caliber players when healthy.
I keep hearing about the "reliance on the three", but do yourself a favor and go look at the team stats. This team is good-great in a lot of categories. They're a balanced team.
As for the defense, come the playoffs expect McDyess to be starting and (hopefully) Splitter to be in the rotation, with Blair being dropped from the rotation. All of a sudden they go from an already fairly good defensive team (they've been 7-9 in efficiency pretty much the entire season) to potentially a very good defensive team.
Hate it or love it, the Spurs are on top and they ain't going nowhere.
Lol jarret jack trade. Lolololol. Lol ariza. Lol pussy cp3. lolololololololol.

I don't understand the comment about the Alamodome. The Spurs play in the AT&T Center... so...We've seen this story before and its not been a happy ending.
