On the close wins thing, I think it's important to remember that to win by a lot of points, you have to have a blowout going, and you have to keep it through garbage time. In order to do that you have to have
1) a bench that's good enough to keep a blowout alive, and
2) a killer instinct.

both of these, I think, are very important for winning a championship

on 1) Our bench consists of Jason Terry right now, which is great, but on his own, he couldn't keep a blowout going, and he's probably not "garbage time" bench, either.
on 2) We might have the "how do we find a way to win this game" killer instinct, but it's questionable whether we have the "foot on their throat" killer instinct.
