SAN ANTONIO SPURS 2007-2008 SEASON ANALYSIS
Most parents find it necessary to aid young children in their need for slumber. Mothers often sing a lullaby, read a short story, or rub the back of their beloved child to send them off into dreamland. Scratch that! Here is the new plan – plug in the t.v. at the foot of your child’s bed, flip through the channels until you reach ESPN, and allow the San Antonio Spurs to take care of the rest. Within just five minutes of game time, Johnny will be fast asleep. However, nightmares often follow shortly after crossing into sleep country. Just visualize Tim Duncan going glass from twelve feet out over and over and over again…………………….snoring……………………….more snoring……………………….drooling……………. SAN ANTONIO SPURS -- TOP 3 PLAYERS1. Tim Duncan — 19.3 ppg, 11.3 rpg, 2.8 apg, .7 spg, 2 bpg, 49.7% (FG%), 34 mpg
Timmy D. puts the “pro” in professional. Playing the game with absolutely zero panache, Duncan comes prepared to battle for every single Spur’s contest. If anyone has a thorough grasp on this, it is San Antonio Spur’s Head Coach Gregg Popovich. Pop knows that he is guaranteed 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 blocks from Duncan each night – no excuses. Let’s just say that Tim Duncan has never let his coach down, and it would be absurd to think he will slow down during the 2008 playoff run.
2. Tony Parker – 18.8 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 6 apg, .8 spg, 49.4% (FG%), 33.5 mpg
Likely the NBA player that most men are thoroughly jealous of, Tony Parker appears to be living the dream. He makes a heavy chunk of change, plays the greatest game on earth for a living, starts at point guard, has won three championships, was awarded the Finals M.V.P. trophy last year, and recently married gorgeous television star, Eva Longoria. What more could a guy ask for?
3. Manu Ginobili– 19.5 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 4.5 apg, 1.5 spg, .4 bpg, 86% (FT%), 40.1% (3p%), 46% (FG%), 31 mpg
The ball is bouncing on the lip of the rim as it seeks its ultimate goal, the bottom of the net. Manu Ginobili’s knees slam into the unforgiving wood floor, and the wind is knocked out of his lungs. The referee pinches the whistle between his lips and screams, “Foul”! Ginobili rises from the court and struts to the freethrow line where he soon ices the three-point play. This sequence reveals the heart and soul of Manu Ginobili; he is crafty with his penetration and is good friends with the charity stripe.
