But the Spurs exposed the flaws of Phoenix - their defense. That's not taking away from the great scoring year they had, but that was their Achilles Heel. I equate what San Antonio did to Phoenix to what NE did to the Steelers in the playoffs: NE made a point to stop the running game and let Roethlisberger try and beat NE. In that game at least, it demonstrated that Ben got lucky several times throughout the season and never brought his team back to victory when down by 10 or more. Sorry for deviating from the point of this thread briefly...
