How Spurs can dig out of 2-0 hole Rosen Foxsports

I recall hearing Joe Dumars state that how disappointed he was that his starters were so worn down in last year's ECF. He went onto say that his bench depth was lacking. Look at the commitment that he made over last summer toward retooling the bench. He mandated Flip to give those guys minutes during the season so they'd be ready during for the playoffs. Yes, it is very much a common sense approach. One that the Spurs FO should have copied.

The Pistons have also drafted NBA ready local talent. We could learn from this too.

I think one could make a case that the Spurs were a little full of themselves this year.

-We don't need to improve the team, we're the Spurs
-We don't need to take the regular season too seriously. Home court advantage? Who cares, we're the Spurs
-We don't need to sign Scola or try to get anything for him. In fact, we think he's so worthless, lets give him to the Rockets. We're the Spurs

yea but if it that gets you to the WCF, is it really that BIG of a problem.

Take away choke-job game 1, and that philosophy still looks legit in it's own regard (success).

If we get eliminated and waste one of Duncan's last years, can we then consider the "stay pat" strategy to be a success? If credit is to given for making it to the WCF, then certainly criticism would be warranted for not pushing through and repeating.

Also, we got a lot of pieces that definitely won't be around next year. So we're faced with significant rebuilding issues.
