    I think the Spurs need to get faster. Quick decision making and some footspeed at every position.

    Quick decision making is important because the ball will move faster around the court to keep the opponents D off balance and have to work to rotate. On the defensive end there were too many times vs. Phoenix the Spurs hesitated to move because the big helping in the pick and roll wasn't sure of what he should do, thus bogging down rotations.

    Footspeed will work wonders for defense. Makes passing more difficult for opponents due to passing lanes being cut off quickly and takes away easy scores if you can just stay in front of your man. It was painful watching the Spurs unable to move their feet against PHX. This also means quicker cuts to the basket and naturally more open court opportunities.

    Just because I say these things, doesn't mean small ball. Most of the Spurs championship teams had great footspeed.
    It looks like the Spurs have that footspeed to force the issue on both ends of the court. I am loving what I am seeing.
