I am starting to hope we don't sign anyone else to prove all of you panic stricken fans wrong! |
honestly, you're living in the past here. first and foremost, 2005 tim duncan is not 2010 tim duncan - he can't compensate for deficiencies upfront the way he used to before. secondly, the past means nothing about the current state when you consider the other teams in the league and how the competition has stepped up. remember how everyone said our bench ok and we're not old? well look what happened when everyone not named tim or tony was exposed during these playoffs against hte freakin mavs no less. the past rings and 'championship experience' didn't mean crap when the players are just PHYSICALLY outmatched.
you really wanna go against the defending champs who have 2 legit 7 footers and a 6'10 do-everything matchup nightmare, with 33yr old tim duncan and 2 rookies?! blair has a long wingspan - the lakers centers are 5 inches taller and have just as long if not longer arms. we can't possibly go into this season w/ these 3 alone as our frontcourt, which is why the importance of getting a quality big man like sheed is so important now. w/ sheed and the youngsters, we have a tremendous blend of traits each guy can bring - toughness, knowledge & experience, size, rebounding, defense/offense, and athleticism.
