I believe you hit the nail on the head with this one... I hope my Suns don't have to meet the Spurs in the first round, much like any smart team would feel.
People who agree with this statement: "or an aging group whose best days might be behind them..." need to look at the Spurs a little closer.
Tony Parker is 25 years old.
Manu Ginobili is 30 years old.
Tim Duncan is 31 years old.
Now, I realize the Spurs have many players in their mid-30's... I know Bowen, Horry, Oberto, Barry, and Finley are getting up there... However, when I think of the Spurs, those are the primary 3 players that come to mind. If Duncan or Parker go down, the Spurs might not look as scary on paper. As was said, these guys are too good and too well-coached to be taken lightly.
I sure hope someone is able to take them out early in the playoffs, as I do not want to see them win back to back. Isn't tradition against them this year, seeing as 08 is an even number?
