Looks like stats are pretty even, could be a great series.

Interesting stat here is Spurs are only .002 behind in 3 pt %, even though Seattle is considered a 3 pt shooting threat in this league.
Also we need to keep them off the O boards because they are stronger in that category.

Most obvious advantage here is Blks for SA. Now will this advantage be diminished with James' new and improved game?

Fouling is key here. If Spurs stay aggressive, then Seattle should be the team in foul trouble.
Looks like stats are pretty even, could be a great series.
lets get it on!
Spurs elevated their game against a tougher opponent, and Sonics were not impressive on offense vs Kings' ty defense.
Nobody can consistantly have great offense against SA...that is a fact...but if SA has periods of totally suckiness on offense like they did in first series, then Sonics can win 2-3 games.
