This means the Spurs bench is deep and there is little to no drop off in production when they come in. They can win during the regular season when they rest starters and they can win in the post season when they shuffle lineups. We're always playing Parsons and Harden too many minutes and the bench players too few minutes so they don't gain game experience and the confidence to perform well on a regular basis. We also are relying on Howard, TJones and Asik to make free throws during the playoffs to avoid tossup games. We were ranked #6 in MOV @ 4.56. A couple more made free throws per game and we're up in the top 3. #3 OKC @ 6.34, #2 LAC @ 6.98, #1 SAS @ 7.72.
It is more about 1. Spurs Defense 2. The Heat took a Major step back this year .. which was exposed by #1
