Looking at the positive side of things, the Celtics who are on average older than the Spurs were able to take the Lakers to a 7th game. They could have won that last game too.
The Celtics I believe are comparable to the Spurs. However the main difference is the Celtics have a better defensive presence with the likes of Perkins at the Center. I guess when he went down in the Finals, that was the end of the Celtics.
Still the Spurs like the Celtics have a really strong and efficient half court game which incidentally is what wins playoff games. The Spurs were able to beat a quite talented Mavericks team. However, the bad thing is the Spurs couldn't stop the quicker and sharper shooting Suns.
This video highlights the big problem:

Spurs can't win without its patented defense or its 3 point shooting. These two were missing against the Suns.
I like our roster. I'm still a fan. We are playoff bound. Injuries/health will determine how deep we go. Spurs have had 20+ years of success, with only one lone season in which we didn't make the playoffs, and that season yielded us Duncan in the draft. Current odds for the Spurs to win the championship is at 25:1.
YES!! Spurs window is locked and the key is lost in the woods! It will take alot of people(good players, draft picks, FA's, etc.) to find that key. Work your magic FO!!
