Wow. So any team with Dirk on it is susceptible to a GS collapse? Are you a Spurs troll in disguise or something?

As for the rest... the argument was that teams could take our centers out of the game entirely by going small. This argument doesn't appear to hold much water because

1) The opposing team would have to be good enough at small ball to force our centers out of the game. I can't think of anyone who can do that.
2) We have since proven that we can be a very good small ball team.
3) If it was really that simple to force big men out of the game, why hasn't anyone tried it against the Lakers?
