Their biggest weakness was a starting point guard who would later get lazy and slow and loot the team for millions of dollars and keep them from getting more rings in the twilight of Tim Duncan's career and beyond.
I show that clip to all my maverick loving friends. A classic, for sure.

03 Spurs were probably not even the best team of that season let alone the Duncan era.
I need to sit down and watch all of the 03 finals game again.
That game 6 in Dallas though![]()
Weaknesses #1-30: Malik Rose....People who want to point to Bonner as Pop playing ineffectual chumps that blow him...just remember who was first.
Malik was a work horse tbh. His locker room presence more than made up for his short comings.
And he played well against the Mavs that year.
That 2003 team was bi polar, they would go through stretches where they were just on top of the world, then some times that 4th Q drought came and they blew a huge lead and scared the out of you. This happened too many times for my liking those playoffs on end, even at home in game 1 against Dallas, LA game 5 and Game 5 against Dallas at home too, way too many missteps and inconsistency but when on WOW what a team to watch.
I remember game 2 against Dallas too, they were up 63-37 and ROLLING, Dallas cuts it to 9 in the second half and I say here we go with this bull again. That team made you nuts.Malik had several great playoff games that year in 2003, he also had that huge dunk on Motumbo that sparked a win in a key game 3 in the series. He had a few big games against Dallas too, particularly game 2 when D Rob had to sit out. He came up huge.
Bonner never had a signature playoff game, no comparison. People bring up his famous OKC game 5 or 6 when he started and drew the guys out of the paint, reality is Diaw started the 2nd half and had a way better game and only then the Spurs blew a close game wide open........
You tell me when the piece of Bonner ever does a thing like this man

Speedy Claxton was an awesome back-up PG who could ball down the stretch of big games.
can't subtract 9 from 2003
agree... we had to trade him in 2005 because we had no backup center and Rasho was too weak. Horry/Rose tandem off bench was borderline turd towers territory. We also had Massenburg and Rose's contract made signing another C outright practically impossible.
We wouldn't have won the 'ship with Rasho's soft tush going up against Ben Wallace.
2003 Spurs? Thank God for Stevie Kerr vs Dallas.
That was one of the best dunks in Spurs history.
