Balanced versatility, if Pop needs a defender, he has Leonard, if he needs a play maker, Jackson. Pop was also dsciplined enough to limit his Big 3 minutes, by going to the well with Splitter, Leonard, Green and Neal when the pressure was on. Experiencing that, goes a long way this time of year.

All the above is correct. They have a great system. The same system that's been there for years but I think personnel wise this is the best collection of players they've had to fit this system. Usually the Spurs would have to take a vet from another team and have that player get accustom to the Spurs system. Now it seems like guys are born to play the roles they are in with the Spurs. We're suppose to hate the Spurs but i'll always have respect for Popovich and his coaching.
