not sure.. without an elite point guard.. the system is broken...they did it with an elite center...then point guard.. but now they have a forward and PF....
not sure if pop got a system for that type of play..
he had two ghost on the team... and french ghost and an Italian/Argentinian ghost..
though to pull really.
did you forget that added Pau Gasol who is STILL Elite.
They also added David Lee who is underrated
Tony Parker is STILL an elite point guard. He just wasnt healthy last year.
And WTF are you talking about. The Spurs system they run, doesn't even need an elite point guard.
In fact Spurs purposely are building roster that revolves around having a plethora of skilled big men and shooters. They don't even really need a good point guard.
Spurs should of been in the finals with the roster they had last year. They were DESTROYING OKC, then simply just choked completely.
Also Tim Duncan finally got old and couldn't even make layups efficiently in the playoffs. In fact he was so bad, Pop hardly even played him.
They have an even BETTER roster than last year and Tony Parker is healthy. They will be in the finals.
You are underestimating how much better they have become with the simple addition of Pau Gasol and David LEe
