re: San Antonio Spurs

Jefferson finally knows what spots his shots are coming from. And his base is much more technically sound on his release this year. He's not just running around and trying to force things anymore. All of those things lead to better shooting.

I love HIll. I actually wondered aloud if Hill was going to make Parker expendable last season before TP's contract was extended. He's more explosive than Bowen ever was, and waaaay better on offense.

I forgot to mention Splitter. He's not as strong (physically) as I was thinking he might be. But he's very active on defense and plays aggressively without gambling.

Spurs are deep. I also think Pops is doing a great job limiting TD's minutes. Tim can still get it going in spurts, and is still better than 2/3 of the bigs in the game even when he's not on his A game. Best defensive commander/communicator in the league aside from KG.

What do you do for the Spurs? I'm not a spurs fan per se, just a fan of good basketball wherever it is played. And it's been played in SA for over a decade straight now.
