David Robinson said he had never seen such an offense: "Before we could set up our defense, the Hawks had already made their move. It's like being hit with a punch before the boxing match even starts!"
The helplessness of the Spurs' Twin Towers left the entire league feeling hopeless.
The Spurs this season were terrifying. Because of their zone defense, they became the strongest defensive team in the league, holding opponents to an average of 88 points per game.
Only the Spurs, Pistons, and 76ers in the league could hold their opponents to an average of less than 90 points, and among them, the Spurs were the best at it.
If even the Spurs couldn't stop the Hawks, other teams would have even less of a chance.
But Roger disagreed with the Twin Towers' statement: "As if they could stop us last season."
Roger was used to dominating the league; for him, winning streaks were what the team was supposed to achieve.
As an undefeated king, he couldn't empathize with others' despair.
