i think any time you have Parker/Duncan/Ginobili under contract, you have to at least put some kind of an effort to win. Parker showed what he could do in the first round series, he can score at will. With a healthy manu the Spurs probably would of had some more open shots, as the mavs just looked to shut down 1 spot, the paint. Give it another few years before they go into rebuilding mode.
