San Antonio is definitely a better team this year with Manu shining and acquisitions like barry. Did i mention they have the most complete player in the game? Their defense is still top notch and now with a better shooting team overall, they're my top choice for the ring this year.
Yeah plus thier free throw shooting is up i think with Barry and Beno is helping them alot plus GINOBILI is stepping up big when they need him the most
