San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs won their 60th game of the season this last Tuesday and once again find themselves with the #1 seed in the West. It seems since Tim Duncan joined the team in 1998, the team has been a force to reckon with in the Western Conference. Even during the run by the Lakers, the Spurs were always highly regarded as a threat. Is Tim Duncan the best all-around player in the league? Can he lead them to yet another NBA Championship in 2006?

All I can say is as long as Tim Duncan has breath, San Antonio is a threat. He draws so much attention by himself that it frees everyone up around him to perform well. Problem is, drawing all the attention does not slow him down enough to make a big difference most times.

With the supporting cast of players like Ginobli and Parker, the Spurs actually want Duncan to get double and triple teamed, because then that frees up everyone else. There has been many games where Ginobli and Parker themselves have scored 30 points each because of this. This is the same tactic they used during their last championship run. It will serve them well until they meet with the Pistons, in my opinion.

The San Antonio Spurs obliterated Sacramento last night with a 23-point victory that sent them into the second round of the NBA playoffs. I didn't watch the last part of the game, but it was much closer at half time than the final score let on. Ron Artest did sprain his ankle during the first half, and I don't believe he came back, which really hurt Sacramento's chances.
