    The "hard part" for these Spurs was not the opponents, but the Spurs internalties, desire, focus, intensity, etc which all lead to less errors and better execution.

    Pop is so right. Spurs come back from 20 down and tie the 7th game in regulation, but lose, there they now are hopelessly old and unathletic?

    Spurs had enough talent to win in 04, but not the toughness. Spurs had the about same talent this year as last year, but not the same toughness.

    I'm not sure it was toughness that separated this team from last year. Last year, the Spurs looked nothing like a le team until the Denver series, then something fell into place and they righted the ship.

    This year, they looked okay winning 63, but rarely looked like a dominant team at their peak. When they got to the playoffs, something was missing, but I'm not sure it was toughness. They fought like champions to stay in the Mavs series -- they mounted a ton of late comebacks, even in the games they didn't win. But they never quite gelled into a great team, and the Mavs were better over seven games.

    Maybe it was personnel, some people obviously think it was coaching, maybe it was just bad fortune that they didn't gel at the right time. But whatever it was, I'm just not seeing that it was toughness.

    Maybe its just me, but I'm under the impression that 1999 was the easiest le. Two sweeps, an 8 seed in the Finals, and only two losses total.
