After finishing atop the Southwest division of the Western Conference (54-28) and about to enter his twelfth season, Spurs forward Tim Duncan's window of dominance is closing. To make one final attempt at NBA Finals championship, San Antonio acquired Richard Jefferson and Antonio McDyess via free agency/trade, and DeJuan Blair from Pittsburgh through the draft. Their best competition will more than likely come in the form of the Houston Rockets and the Dallas Mavericks for the upcoming season. If Manu Ginobili can stay healthy, the Spurs should repeat as division champs and possibly make waves in the Western Conference.

Don't they have a championship(s) already? I just don't like to see repeat championships, even it was my Saints or Hornets. : )
ReplyDeleteMost look at repeat championships by a team as a dynasty. Usually two or three consecutively. While the Spurs never won back to back 'ships, they did managed to nab one each odd numbered year from 1999 to 2007, which was 4 out of 8 years. Speaking of the Hornets, news just broke that the team has fired head coach Byron Scott after a slow start topped with a twenty point loss Wednesday night to the Phoenix Suns(WOW!). Stay tuned....
