Is Spurs Basketball Dead?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

This team is a lot different than the team in 1999-2001 twin tower defense, and 2003-2004 youthful speed 2005-2006 Parker-Ginobili-Duncan Trifecta. I'd say this thread is stupid because if you paid attention, we've made tweaks every year. Tim's been on 3 different teams with an adjusted style. As long as we have Tim; Spurs basketball will never be dead. We don't just play one way where we slow-down tempo for every opponent. Pop emphasizes versatility. The only problem with Pop is that he hasn't constructed a team that murderlizes the opponents consistently like Phil Jackson can. Only in the asterisk year but that seemed flukey and Pop has improved as a coach since then-- so it wasn't his doing really.

Even Pop said the day after the game 7 loss that the Spurs traditionally have stayed big even against smaller teams, but that it simply does not work against Dirk.

It's re ed to abandon your seven year strong system for one player, especially when you were batting .500 against said player.

All this back and forth is pointless though, we'll never know because we never tried.

Like I said though, we'll get to find out how well our system does work against the current iteration of the Mavs, because the Heat are running the Spurs system on defense.

Anthem for the year 2006.

The Spurs won 63 games this year and 3 championships the Spurs way.

Is this another attempt of letting Popovich off the hook with the illusion of a changing game?

I declare Bull again and again.

Pop didn't adjust, he lost the series.

Try again.

ing true, Pop destroy our playoffs; good Defense will still be the keys to victory.
ask Team that are poor in Defense (Toronto, Phily, etc...)
