Spurs not getting a big will be the end of them

[Basketball Power]

Thunder = Perkins, Nazr
Lakers = Pau, Bynum, Odom
Mavs = Dirk, Chandler, Haywood
Spurs = Duncan, 6ft 8inch Blair


We are winning NOTHING with that big lineup

[tdunk21]

ok

[jeebus]

alright

[coyotes_geek]

Great topic. One you surely can't find being discussed in any other threads right now.

What an original point of view.

[chazley]

Love how you fail to mention McDyess/Tiago/Bonner...

[Leetonidas]

Guess you can stop watching Spurs basketball and never post on ST again.

McDyess true but Tiago and Bonner? A highschool player can post up those string beans.

McDyess isn't 7ft, he's an undersized PF
Tiago is a flop, will not play one meaningful minute in the playoffs
Bonner, really? you consider him a big? give me a break

and Blair isn't 6'8 so who cares....the bigger concern is back up SF, so that Manu isn't playing multiple positions/multiple minutes

Andrew Bynum < high school player

Okie Dokie Pokie.

[Buddy Holly]

McDyess isn't 7ft

Neither is Perkins.

Who cares about a couple of inches. Really, that's going to be a factor, a couple of inches? Give me a break.

Spurs front line is fine.

I think the size disadvantage is more of an issue that people realize. The OP brings up a good point. Out of the top four team in the conference, the Spurs have the smallest frontline. As I stated in another post, the past 2 games versus playoff-caliber compe ion, the Spurs have been outrebounded by a wide margin.

If Pryzbillia is bought out by the Bobtails, the Spurs would be foolish NOT to explore that option. Imagine being able to roll out Duncan and Pryz versus Bynum and Gasol - even if it's just for a spot minutes a game.

I don't think this is an issue that can just be poo-pooed away. The Mavs and Thunder have responded to the challenge by adding more size. The Celtics, who already had a fairly large frontline, responded by adding even more. The only way to combat size is with size. You cannot beat size with speed - especially in the playoffs.

You have the power of a basketball.

Everyone's aware of the size of the Spurs frontline.

Since when is 6'9 245 "undersized" for a power forward?

The Spurs are the 8th best rebounding team in the NBA, tied with Oklahoma City.

By the way, I love the logic that the Thunder added more size by trading Kristic to Boston and Boston simultaneously added more size trading Perkins to OKC.

[Brazil]

sorry but we suck at rebounding see OKC game

[ohmwrecker]

Did Texas2Step have to re-register?

[Basketball Power]

sorry but we suck at rebounding see ANY game
