__why don't the Spurs Dunk more often?__

[Banjo Boy]

It takes two jugs of moonshine before I get Dunked...

Mouse, I can answer that question for you, the spurs can't dunk is that simple, they rely on their boring defense, that's why they are labeled as the most boring team in the NBA.

This may be the best post of the topic. Thank you for breaking it down for me.

I heard that the most athletic player and probably their best dunker might be that Linton Johnson III guy.

Right now our best dunkers are Manu and Devin. Why don't the spurs throw more ally oops to each other ala Marion and Vince Carter?

Becouse they are smarter then VC and Marion

I love a good dunk as much as anyone, but I'd rather see a safe two points than a potentially botched attempt at showing how large your testicles are. Some players feel they have to be a big shot and show off...the Spurs are a team and the bottom line is to play fundamental basketball and win. I'm never bored by how the Spurs play, because they can still lose a 20-point lead and bring it down to the wire. It drives me insane when that happens, but I am never ever bored. But Tony's rare dunk not long ago impressed me because, frankly, I didn't think he could jump that high. I also enjoy it when Tim dunks because you know he's not grandstanding..he's making a statement. And Manu...well, nothing he does surprises me anymore. The guy's just fearless.

Dunks feed your team with energy.

You get more pumped after dunking on someone than laying it up.

That may be true--but unfortunately we don't have many players with athleticism. TD is not a leaper. Rasho certainly isn't. Bowen is not a driver and can't keep out of the way of his own feet sometimes. That leaves Manu and Parker. Parker's not a great leaper and not very tall. Manu can and sometimes does dunk if he's not being knocked around when he goes down the lane.

That leaves the bench. Devin is about the closest thing we have to a really athletic body with hops. We'll see what Nasr does.

well... they're already the best so they don't have to show off!! the san antonio spurs are the best no matter how they shoot the ball!!

[duncan2k5]

i think ppl think devin is the best dunker because of that one handed oop he got from barry early in the season. that was SICK!!!!!!!!!

ps. cant wait to see bruce bowen lite in action next season
