I have not meet anyone over 30 who is the same person they were 5 or 6 yrs ago. Kobe is not the same Kobe of 5 or 6 yrs ago. Just saying...

Spurs’ perimeter depth should keep them from an extended slump
Tim Griffin

Despite recent struggles with their perimeter shooting during a six-game losing streak, Spurs rookie guard Gary Neal isn’t worried about an extended slump hurting the team as it advances into the playoffs.

The Spurs hit only 34.9 percent from beyond the arc during the losing streak after leading the league at 40.0 percent before that.

M. Johnson is a college sports analyst and a wannabee evaluationg the NBA - move on.

Johnson did color for the Sonics a few years ago, and of course was a NCAA champion at UCLA and had a very solid NBA career.

His comments were general and not detailed analysis, and furthermore not out of line with what many Spurs fans have been posting on this forum.

Very possible the Spurs could get knocked out in the second round due to the problems he mentioned (number 1 being defense), and given our record such an event would be considered an upset.

Spurs dont rely on the 3point shot. Rather, they rely on execution for the open shot.

Everyone in the lead is ripe for an upset.

I don't know if this Board could brook it. O & 6 Fest nearly shut this sucker down.

He has it backwards we score 103 and give up 97.8. Toss that arguement out the window...And as far as being old, the only "old guys" on the team would be Duncan (34), Ginobili (33) and Mcdyess (36), after that its Bonner (31).

Every Laker rotation player is over 30 except Bynum (28 minutes) and Shannon Brown (19 minutes). That means of the 240 player minutes in your average NBA game, Laker 30-somethings are playing 193. THAT'S an old team.

Contrast that with Duncan (28), Manu (31), Dice(19) AND Bonner (22), our 30 something rotation players are playing 100 of 240 minutes.
