The Spurs also win with strong team Defense, same way we do. There aren't any character problems with either of the teams. They aren't favorites of the coast crowd either. (Knicks, Lakers, Bulls, Miami, Shaq, Kobe, etc)
Although games like tonight is where I miss Bill Laimbeer, Rick Mahorn, Isiah Thomas, Dennis Rodman, and Joe Dumars(on the floor). :)
When he played with the Spurs, although he was good San Antonio just didn't accept his antics and the team with David Robinson the leader of course it was a mix-match. We got to the point we just wanted him to leave despite what he did on the court.
Tim is awesome, have you ever heard his BIO. unbelievable how he got started in basketball so late in life, just like David Robinson.
And Bowen, what a tragic young life he lived and overcame. WOW. I never knew that about him.
