As you all know, I am an Indiana Pacers fan (and a little of the Memphis Grizzlies, now that I have started a blog with Fanball.com network called MemphisBlueBears.com), I just really wanted to write this article about the San Antonio Spurs. Truly, I think the Spurs deserve a lot of hype for what they have done in the off-season so far, but more people are focusing on bogus nonsense of the deals involving Ron Artest, Shaquille O’Neal, and Shawn Marion. Come on, give a little love to what the Indiana Pacers, Toronto Raptors, Memphis Grizzlies, and of course, the Spurs have done, too.
The Spurs are truly look to be one heck of a team in the upcoming 2009-10 season. With such small additions that actually make it huge like adding Richard Jefferson, Antonio McDyess, and DeJuan Blair, the Spurs are surely a much much better team.
That brings me do an idea. You all know what it is. It’s the world-famous NBA Talk!
Now that San Antonio has these solid additions, it’s time go for a breakdown of the depth chart in my opinion. Let’s take a look:
PG: Tony Parker
SG: Manu Ginobili/Roger Mason
SF: Richard Jefferson
PF: Antonio McDyess/DeJuan Blair
C: Tim Duncan
I think it is pretty reasonable.
Tony Parker, come on people, we all know how he rolls and with George Hill backing him up, the Spurs look like pretty comfortable at the point guard position, certainly, no doubt about that.
Also, then there is the shooting guard position which involves Manu Ginobili and Roger Mason. Both of these guys are truly just fun players to watch. And if Ginobili can stay healthy this year, the Spurs can win 60-plus games easily due to last year winning 54 without him.
Then the small forward position involving Richard Jefferson. I really think this is a big deal for San Antonio and I am glad they decided to to do this. And also, with Michael Finley backing him up, this position is pretty much wrapped up solid good.
The power forward position was questionable to me. Some people say that McDyess was going to be a backup center to Tim Duncan, but don’t you think it is better if San Antonio starts both McDyess and Duncan? Also, both of those guys can mentor DeJuan Blair, who surprisingly fell to the Spurs way back in the second round of the NBA Draft this year.
We also may be seeing some playing time from Blair, who may be impressive this year.
The center position, no gimme, Tim Duncan is obviously one of the best centers to ever play the game of the basketball, or if not the best. Everyone knows how Duncan can roll, so there is no furthermore point explaining about this superstar.
So, how do you guys like the observation? Many people believe the Lakers may come back to the Finals. Come on, not three times in a row. I think a new team deserves to get up there. I think the Spurs may finally go back up to the Finals win it all over again.
And heck, it may be a sweep against the team they may be facing, like last team when they swept LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Spurs fans, you have to be happy right now because this may be their year.
And another heck, they are probably the real team to beat.
And if they are, there’s already something waiting for them, a reserved NBA Finals seat.
