Well, to be fair, that is basically what the Showtime Lakers did...not saying this Spurs team should be mentioned in the same breath as those Lakers, but it's a similar principle. I do kind of agree with you about Duncan in the sense that he should be a little more involved throughout the game. Although, one of the most effective systems is one based around speed, 3pt shooting and an efficient, low-post threat. Duncan simply isn't capable of carrying a team anymore, and since this particular roster is tailor-made for a faster system, I think Pop made the right adjustments to the offense. Defensively is where I don't have much confidence in the Spurs. Duncan, while still very effective, is not the same defensive player he once was, they still haven't replaced Bowen on the perimeter, and in the faster-paced system they are bound to give up points they wouldn't have given up in the past.
