I had to laugh last night when I was watching the game. Not only do the Spurs have five guys off the bench who could start and make the playoffs in the East (NVE, Finley, Barry, Horry, Rasho), they also have an assistant who could coach them. I didn't realize that PJ Carlisimo is an asistant until last night. That is one quality assistant. Anything they don't have????
That said- I was very proud of the team last night. Reef, Martin, and Wells fit into a nice nucleus with Artest, Bibby, and Miller. If we can somehow convince Bonzi (first to stay), Artest, and Martin to buy into a situation where the three of them split the wing positions with either Bonzi or Martin willing to come off the bench, the future is very bright. Find a shotblocker to play along side Miller with Reef off the bench and you have a pretty solid team.
the future is very bright because this team has both talent and HEART.
