SAN ANTONIO -- The San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets have more in common than their state these days.
Uniquely-talented big men who are the centerpieces of their championship formula but must be handled with extreme physical care (Tim Duncan and Yao Ming). Dynamic Argentines who head the respective supporting casts and recently-signed long-term extensions (Manu Ginobili and Luis Scola). Point guards who almost always win the footrace and provide offensive punch (Tony Parker and Aaron Brooks). Coaches who have earned immense respect around the league -- albeit with far-different styles and playoff histories -- and who are always subtle with their success (Gregg Popovich and Rick Adelman) .
While most of the media world was descending on Miami Heat training camp in Hurlburt Field in Florida, I made the "Decision" to check in on a couple of less-heralded title contenders whose respective window of opportunity isn't quite so wide open.
