Last seasons Spurs were ranked #1 ALL TIME in Defensive Efficiency for a Season. They were a bit better than 1998-99 on defense (they were in the Top 5-6 of all time I think ironically). But I think the 9899 team's defense was a bit accentuated by the lockout season. Offensives tended to be worse that season.
This years Spurs team is also a great defensive team in terms of all time defensive efficiency rankings (thus far) -- but there is still a good chunk of games left.
The Spurs of 0001 were really balanced on both ends, but failed in the playoffs strangely by a HUGE margin. Why, I am not sure exactly.
This years team is as balanced as any Spur team, I hope they keep it up on both ends.
