I'm not really worried about the Sonics right now. They aren't the issue. The issue is what has been covered here in the forum and that is the lack of physicality in the Spurs' frontcourt.
I'm reminded of the Phoenix Suns team in '03 and the Grizzlies last season - both teams have outplayed the Spurs in the regular season and both faced the Spurs in the play-offs.
The result? The Spurs knocked them out.
While the Sonics win last night proved that they are a legitimate contender and perhaps the Spurs' biggest headache (for now at least) , there is really no reason to be worried. There is no way they can keep their hot shooting until April!!!
Once Barry gets his groove back , the Spurs are still favored to clinch HCA.
And here's an interesting pattern too !
1999 - Spurs had the best record (37-13) and won the le
2001 - Spurs had the best rercord (58-24) advanced to WCF and lost
2003 - Spurs had the best record (60-22) and won the le
2005 - ???
Every other year since 1999 the Spurs won the HCA. Both Spurs les were won with HCA clinched.
