Portland gave the Championship Spurs a run for their Money in the season opener in San Antonio. Portland look 100% better than last season.
I say this because the Spurs have so many Peremeter-Shooters on their team around Duncan, and everytime the Spurs would take a 8 to 10 point lead in the game Portland would chop it back down to just a 3 point lead.
The Knicks dont have that kind of tenacity to keep stopping the Spurs from building on a 10 point lead throughout the game.
