Spurs to Repeat?
Who’s going to win it all? Depending on who you ask, you’re likely to get a variety of answers. Ask a league GM, and they’re likely to tell you that it’ll be San Antonio. In a recent poll of GMs, 37% picked the Spurs to repeat as league champs. In second place, Phoenix came in with 26%, followed by Dallas with 15%. LeBron James was picked to win the MVP. Surprisingly, last year’s winner of the award, Dirk Nowitzki did not receive a single vote.
As far as the best coach? San Antonio came in first in that also. Best center? Best power forward? Best defender? Best interior defender? Perimeter? Spurs, Spurs, Spurs. . .you get the idea. In fact, the GMs think so much of Tim Duncan, that he was voted best center and power forward!
As far as the best offseason acquisition, the Houston Rockets came in first with their pick up of Argentine, Luis Scola. The GMs felt that the Jazz have the best home court advantage.
Will the Spurs repeat? Who knows if they will, but they should have a great chance to do so. They return everyone of importance from last year’s team that swept Cleveland in last year’s finals. Of course, they are a year older, and Duncan, Bowen, Barry, and some of the role players are no spring chickens, but they certainly have the experience, and likely still have some fuel in the tank.
