Maybe in the future we can do this so you can click and listen instead of having to read all our thoughts.

Grant Hill, Nash and Stoudemire have had significant problems in the past. And they have a 7 man rotation: Barbosa, Bell, Diaw, Hill, Marion, Nash and Stoudamire. And all of that group plays huge, fast-paced minutes. Somethings going to break.<BR/><BR/>I think you also underestimate the Spurs depth. They have a rotation of Duncan, Horry, Oberto, Elson, Barry, Bowen, Udoka, Ginobli, Finley, Parker and Vaughn. None of those guys have been injury prone at all(Horry's a lazy faker) - and no matter what you think of Vaughn and Elson, in an 11 man rotation, they don't have to give that much. Last year the Spur stars also played very few minutes. 32 for Duncan and Parker, 27 for Ginobili. Popovich keeps em fresh and in good shape.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878605120366712244.post-37465536122404524092007-10-12T16:43:00.000-05:002007-10-12T16:43:00.000-05:00Your quality discussion covers a lot of topics on ...Your quality discussion covers a lot of topics on the real. Like Durant for instance. He reminds me of a young Rashard Lewis when he was starting out. Personally I feel that he won't fare well at the SG due to his lankiness and possible slower step against the quicker SGs' like Rip Hamilton or Dwyane Wade. He would be suited at the SF position and if later on the PF slot whenever he puts on enough muscle to play at the position. <BR/><BR/>Houston I think will have some time to adjust to Adelman's Princeton offense. I'm not a fan of this scheme b/c despite it makes the offense fun. The scheme can ruin and spoil players where they don't take playing defense seriously enough to realize they a team needs both to win games. Expect some liabilities among the Rox's players due to lack of better endurance and speed.<BR/><BR/>San Antonio: Chip, I hope you didn't jinx Tony Parker for this season when you said that he never gets hurt. lol<BR/><BR/>Look for the Kings, Lakers, Clippers, Wolves(for obvious reasons) and Seattle to blow Hoobastank for the upcoming season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
