It is part of the reason people do not like watching them.

Its always been defense. No need to go further.
You can find a game against Phoenix most likely where the shot a high
%, but who does not shoot a high % against Phoenix ever since Nash became their point...

You are mad at Bruce Bowen's superior defensive tactics.

I was talking about the way the no names can shoot out of their mind for Antonio. I've seen Malik Rose do it. Jackson do it. I saw Barry n' Bowen get hot together, and shoot some crazy % of 3 pointers up. That's what I mean. Like Posey was doing. WTF % of 3 pointers that guy make in the series? Parker shot what last year? Almost 60% in the finals. You're right, they don't all do it at the same time(like Celts did,) but they have games where certain guys can hardly miss. Together, Barry n' Bowen made 7 three pointers in one championship game last year. Every other year, they can shoot hot enough to get it done...... K that's it. We will see if Celts can shoot like this next year. If so, then they repeat.

Parker shot 60% and was in the top 10 in FG % because he shot layups. He got layups because he gets to the hole and finishes as well as any PG in the league.
Barry and Bowen. They are great 3 point shooters period. Bowen baseline exclusively, Barry from all over. They had a segment about Barry in Practice shooting 3's which the Spurs do an hour of and have contests after almost every practice.

Barry made 96 out of 100 threes in practice. While moving around the world.
It aint luck Scuds, its good. Very, very good 3 point shooters. Add Ginobili and Finely and you probably have a team that has as many good 3 point shooters as any in the league. This is by design.
Duncan patrols the paint.

These guys are really good players. Very good Functional players. But a little long of tooth unlike your Lakers.
In the end though, if the Spurs cant cover a team, its trouble. The Defensive rotation is what wins them games.

I take full responsibility for causing the above.

I will take that to mean I type too much...
And possibly other more hateful things (pain in the arse).

But the 5 ring steroid avatar is pretty classy given the environment. Boston has become the city to hate because they win too damn much. Other municipalities should have such problems.

Actually steroids and other cholestrol derivatives are 4 rings.
See.
I am a pain in the butt.

Lakers should be favored to win the West.

It will be really interesting to see how Portland
fairs with Odem. Dallas and Phoenix should probably
have problems.

Losing Tiago Splitter put SA out of the top spot imo.
