Pretty much. If Tim, Tony and Manu have it going they can still beat anyone, but if one of them is off things just grind to a halt. They need more from Finley. Most of that supporting cast is built to do the dirty work (i.e. everything except score) and Finley is the only one capable of putting up consistent points.
Conceding a strong personal bias, I still think they can win it this year, but this is definitely the weakest Spur team in the last 6 years. If they go out early it certainly wouldn't be the biggest shock of my sports-viewing life.
