This is what sucks about being a Spurs fan these days. They dominate in the regular season but just are not built for the playoffs. Pop is great until a team has 7 games to play vs him and make all the adjustments. He'll, sometimes just picking up the intensity because it is the playoffs alone can beat the Spurs as most teams don't play with the same focus and intensity in regular season as the Spurs do.
We don't have that superstar that can carry us in when we go into slumps during games.

Spurs are scary deep, though. Witness last night's blowout win in Chicago and the near-victory over the Heat in Miami.

They will fold in the playoffs like they always do

MIAMI HEAT 4 LIFE

Yeah but depth doesn't means as much in the playoffs unless a team heavily relies on a 6th man of the year type of player. We need a player who can carry the load of we go cold or the three isn't dropping. Parker is good but he can get cold very quickly also.

Leonard's dunk in last night's game was impressive. Didn't think he would be able to throw it down from taking off from that far away.

Leonard may just be the perfect replacement for Manu but way better defense. This kid has developed very well.

Respect. Honestly, I think Tony being out for a bit may help Leonard find out what he can really do. Leonard is going to be a good one.
