Wade shot 38% for the series in transition. He is clearly not the same player.

Wade is a mid-level player. He's simply not healthy enough to play 30+ minutes over 100 games. Closer to 25 per in 75 games.

Bosh just never meshed with this team. Gonna be interesting to see his career going forward. Still pretty young.

If those two come back at about 15 million total, and they have enough to offer James and Anthony 15 per, then maybe they get to be world beaters again. Really need a rebounder up front as well. And a PG.

Agreed. Although all the talk is not on the "boring" Spurs, but on the Heat.

If the NBA trended toward building teams like the Spurs, and playing the game like them, maybe I'd become interested in the league again.

It won't and I won't...

I wonder if it would be possible to build a team that plays like the Spurs using only players that originated from the US and have come up through the usual AAU, NCAA ranks. Somehow I think that it would be extraordinarily difficult.

Sean Miller is doing just that...

Indeed, true team (euro) basketball, not the one on one 'hero' ball our kids are practicing today.

Not immediately out of it. Too few truly defined roles, too much "waiting" for things to happen.

The talent is there, but it's been deprioritized to the point where it's almost invisible.

It would take 2/3 years of rebooting their settings.

Not sure a coach would get the time.
