Remember the Alamo: SA Spurs 12-13 Preview (Pt. 2)

The ultimate success of this season hinges upon how far the youth have developed.

Because there were no major offseason additions, the 2012-13 Spurs will be expecting improvement from within. There is a fine symmetry in the way the roster has been constructed by R.C. Buford. Players still on rookie contracts have been and/or are being integrated into the Spurs culture under the veteran leadership of Popovich, Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili.

Want to Be Part of It: NY Knicks 12-13 Preview (Pt. 1)

Here’s something I never thought I’d write: I completely agree with Stephon Marbury.

In an interview with ESPN New York, the starting point guard for the Chinese Basketball Association’s reigning champion Beijing Ducks simply said, “Nope,” when asked if he thought Knicks stars Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire could play together.

Include Tyson Chandler and that pretty much sums up my feelings towards the Knicks' Big Three. In fact, I’d argue that the majority of the Knicks roster is ill-suited to play together—no matter how stacked New Yorkers believe their team to be or how many Knicks players think they can win it all.
