Finley's marksmanship and the teams defense were both of the reasons why the spurs one it was not because of just one. The spurs would steal the ball and then score a 3 pointer with it which could change the lead by 3 points more and gaining momentum by doing so. Denver's average points per game in the regular season was 105 but San Antonio held them down to 78. Allen Iverson was not the answer last night.
I am looking forward to the Spurs-Suns series as they are two most consistent teams in the west and it is entertaning to watch some of the top scoring teams try to get past the spurs.
If golden state wants to upset dallas they have to win game 6 while they have home court advantage. If Dallas pulls out a win the series will be tied and heading back to dallas with all the momentum in Dallas's hands. And the Mavs are coming out of their slump as well. Who ever wins Game 6 will win the series and like ive said all throughout this series Dallas will come away with the W.
After their display of teamwork and athletiscim on thursday night against the suns the spurs have proven themselves to be a missle flying under the radar. San Antonio has proven 3 times that deffense not offense wins chapionships and are looking to make that 4.
THe ability of the Spurs to work as a team is amazing they were able to quickly force a shot by phoinex and then take it to the other side and score and each player has a strong point that san antonio has used to build their offense around.
Yes the veterans are getting old but older players tend to better in the playoffs with more breaks and having more experience in the post season.
It could be argued however that the suns had less to play for since they are guarented a play off berth and the Mavs might of beaten the spurs last year but its a whole new year and its going to be a whole new post season.
Pistons suck i did not choose this name it was my cousin messing around with my comp back when the spurs played the pistons in the NBA finals. I watch both college football,NFL, and the NBA
