the only thing i can think we're missing is someone that can shut down a dirk/duncan. granted, a lot of teams don't have that, and tmac did well against dirk in the playoffs a few rounds ago. battier aint too shabby either. i'm pumped. houston sports just might be redeemed!
Dirk can be shut down pretty easily for an MVP - hell, Stephen Jackson shut him down. I know they were running people at odd angles at him but there were several plays where Jackson iso'd him and stuck with him. T-Mac is more than enough to stop Dirk. Duncan does little things that are hard to quantify with numbers but make such a big impact. He is, in my opinion, harder to stop than Garnett because Duncan provides the intangibles that really no one else in the league does and is as such so much better than his numbers. Parker and Ginobili would not be nearly as good on another team (Parker is still overrated). Not sure we will ever have anyone that can man up Duncan and stop him (not sure if anyone in the league has a shot straight up) so I can settle for relying on us to outscore the Spurs, though it's not a sure bet. The Spurs are so versatile, it is frustrating :(
