how worrisome is it that the spurs only won by 9?

Its not worth worrying about unless the NBA starts determining who wins and loses games by point differential.

but that's my concern. they don't play too much better than they did last night. granted, they did seem a bit nonchalant and business-as-usual, more so than i would have expected, but it doesn't change what looks like a team teetering on pistons-mavs-itis, counting out a pretty nice team with a superstar that just needs to be a little more gritty to stun everyone.

Anthony Hopkins seemed rather non-chalant too when he said "Well, o Clarese".

The point-differential in quarter four was basically the two Lebron off-balance depseration three point shots. I'm not too worried about that.

We'll have to see what they do to adjust.

After we hit the 18 point lead we backed off a bit on defense and pretty much let them run and gun to the rim. So we could run down the clock and didn't get into foul trouble late in the 4th. Which would have enabled the Cavs to make a last minute run. And when they got close we shut them down again. It may have looked like they were making a comeback but we were in control the entire time.

Not worried in the least.

Wake me up when Cleveland has a lead in the 4th.

I'd love to know what some people think the Spurs didn't do well that they could improve on.

The Spurs missed 32 of 43 shots outside of the paint. Oberto scored zero points. Finley scored two points. Horry scored three points. The Spurs made six three pointers in the game. They had 14 turnovers.

Anything else?

Actually, I've been one of those trying to warn everyone about the Cavs and their ability to junk-up games and not to get too giggly. The Spurs were just very good last night, especially in the 1st and 3rd quarters.

I'm still saying Spurs in 6, though.

Had it not been for the rust we would have won by 20 considering Cleveland sucked.

I hate to quote myself, but this one is worth repeating.
