Hey guys, saw this online, didn't know if you'd find it useful.
The best offensive team I've ever seen! And they play defense too!
A floor general who makes everyone better through his leadership, floor-vision, passing skill, and terrible hair (Steve Nash) leads an attack consisting of 4 other players whose skill-sets complement each other like a finely crafted symphony.
The Nash-Elton Brand pick and roll attack is merciless, due to Brand's ability to hit a 15 foot jumper with consistency, as well as his strength and tenacity in finishing at the rim.
Surrounding them however are 3 other very capable shooters (Finley, Pippen, O'Neal), should anyone rotate to double the 2-time MVP, Nash's near-supernatural ability to see the floor seems to always find an open man with a clear shot.
On those rare attempts when Nash penetrates the lane but fails to find an option he likes, he's got the freedom to pass it back out to Scottie Pippen or Michael Finley, who are both gifted scorers and passers in their own right, and either one can be trusted to make the right play with the ball.
In transition though is where this team really shines. Because of the length and defense from Finley-Pippen-Brand-O'Neal, many times you'd see the Spurs streaking up the floor off of a long rebound or turnover, often with numbers, and always making the right play with the ball for a trailing 3 or thunderous jam.
The bench was also much better than I expected. Glen Rice served his role as primary bench scorer with gusto, and Shane Battier, Darrell Armstrong, and Josh Smith ensured that when the starters sat, the defense did not rest with them!
Truly a fantastic team, and one that there is no doubt was cruelly and shortsightedly underestimated by StartOrien.
