Lack of an inside presence may be this team's undoing.......No comparison to the '92 team......

And with Tyson Chandler as he only true Center, I'm not surprised at lack of a defensive inside presence.

that I think this team is better than the '92'team, but how many international players were in the nba in 1992? They said there were 80 or so, now. I think the level of competition is night and day vs 1992.

We like to say that our best athletes play basketball (using neutral language), which is probably not true. These aren't even Spain's best athletes. They are outstanding players who are not intimidated. Look at who is winning most of the medals--great athletes. Which is why I believe that if colleges required all athletes to meet the admissions standards of each university we'd still enjoy watching great football and basketball played by really good athletes who are also prepared for college.

I still expect us to win by at least 10.

Ricky Rubio would've made if he was here.

Did Howard or Duncan say no? Should have picked a decent NBA center as a backup. Now let's see if LeBron can save him. He gets way too much criticism than he deserves so this could top off a great season for him.

Excellent point. And while we are on the subject - and considering this is PGA weekend - you could say the same thing for golf. The depth of talent in today's game is night and day vs the Nicklaus era. There is no telling how many major championships a guy of Tiger's caliber would have had back then. 20? 25? <div>

Paul, LeBron, and Durant are fun to watch.
