_Can you think of anything that would keep the Spurs from the 2005 Championship Ring?

[mugatu]

Other than just bad Karma, Or some sort of freak of nature? I don't see how the Spurs can't win it all, You might as well reserve you a spot on the San Antonio River. maybe you think different.........

Thanks

[Summers]

We don't speak of such things for fear they will actually happen. :lol

What kind of Heat fan *are* you? Have some faith... Shaq's healing!

Let's see, on our end, we've got the big fella's ankles, Manu's ongoing groin/thigh issues (not to mention his habit of treating his body like a punching bag), and Tony's knee tendonitis (which truthfully, I wouldn't know was an issue from watching him play). All the intangibles seem to be inplace (chemistry, etc). So barring an injury to one of the three amigos, I think we're ready.

hahaha mouse's threads get more predictable every time.

[mattyc]

Injuries (touch wood).

[mugatu]

How predictable is this....?



Shaq has a 30 point game , The heat win by 20 in game7 ? Wade comes back , and Shaq is on the attack? face it, the Spurs could be big trouble...

I don't see how the Spurs have an answer for him when he is hot.

sorry if I sound harsh, that is not my goal, my goal is to see the Spurs Choke Thursday, and they will my friends, oh yes, they will...

No driving lanes for Parker and Ginobili.

Dude ? if Journey came to town , your old ass, would get on that hobbit's Knobbits just to get a front row seat if they came to the SBC so don't act like you never bought a Journy Cassett :lmao

[Vashner]

....you have to earn the rings ...

They don't just jump on your finger for no reason...

The series is game by game not some gift.

I think it's no wise to expect instant championship....

That's bandwagon'er talk...

[TOP-CHERRY]

Well, let's see... Mouse is trying to jinxs us. Too bad that never works.
Neither did his attempt to put "GO SPURS GO" in his sig, nor did his attempts to talk trash every single year, every single series, every single game, nor any attempt that comes out of his 10+ screenames.

[MiNuS]

then its fit Horry also is the black Hobbit.


observation: it's weird watching Star Wars "Sith" that in the future there's white people,black people,plenty of aliens but no Mexicans!At least Antonio Banderas as one of the Jedi's!

Sure> first of all, I worry about the long layoff and losing our sharpness in the first game due to rust. It has happened before to a lot of clubs. If we lose the first game we lose HC advantage and that might be a big loss against these opponents. Don't underestimate them.

Secondly, we have a weakness that other teams have exploited before. Any time a team blocks out our guards from driving the lane, we are less effective. And if our guards don't adjust or fail to make their jumpers from 15' out to beyond the arc, then we lose. The Lakers simply took away our driving lanes last year and beat us four straight games. And Detroit is a much tougher defensive club than the Lakers IMHO.

Thirdly, if the club players come in with as much overconfidence as some on this site, then we could lose.

Fourth, all it takes is a few calls going the other way in close situations in the last quarter.

All that being said, I think we are the team to beat with our good first five and outstanding depth.

[spur219]

I just hope the Spurs win. But if the Spurs don't beat themselves then ain't nothing or no one beat them.

Timmy loses his mind and all of a sudden goes into hiding.

The Spurs are already in the Finals... Does the SPurs winning or not have an effect on how much money is made for himself????

[1Parker1]

The real question should be, What would Spurs fans do if they lose in the Finals?? :(

[mavsfan1000]

Jump off the bandwagon. :lol

BITE YOUR TONGUE!!!

I could probally go on if it were to the Pistons, but I dont know if I could handle losing to Snaq again... but I dont see the SPurs losing to either

[tlongII]

The Pistons or the Heat.

[1Parker1]

:lol I was just being hypothetical and trying to un-jinx us with this thread!!!

[kskonn]

Get ready to swallow a lot of pride for all of the trash I talked to my friends from the rockets and Mavericks.

then get ready for the cowboys.

I wonder after game 5. if some of you feel different now?

I was right about Mouse's predictions...


Thanks alot Mouse... You are clutch.

[Nocioni]

Back to back championships for the DETROIT PISTONS

[mavsfan1000]

I still feel the same.

[mookie2001]

if what happenned in the day after tommorrow happenned

[Jimcs50]

If TD does not play well.

Here are his stats when they won games 1,2 and 5 and when they lost games 3 and 4:

Games won Games lost
Minutes 42.0 38.5
FG pct. 46.4% 31.3%
Rebounds 15.7 13.0
Points 22.7 15.0


Huge difference.

[T Park]

jim its more than that.

Look at Ginobili and Horry's numbers.

[CosmicCowboy]

[CosmicCowboy]

yeah, I know Violet didn't make the finals cut...

[Jimcs50]

jim its more than that.

Look at Ginobili and Horry's numbers.

Yeah, but they are not the focal point of Detroit's defense like TD is.

If they fail to contain TD, they are not doing what they want to do, hence, they have better chance to lose.

[DDS4]

A meltdown of Maverick proportions (Game 6 of 2003 WCF).

[T Park]

but they are not the focal point of Detroit's defense like TD is


IMO, GInobili has become the focal point of the detroit defense and if you think about it, it makes sense.

You shut down Ginobili, you kill the Spurs alot.

No penetration for everything blah blah blah.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

The Detroit Pistons

I concur...

[samikeyp]

The biggest thing that will keep the Spurs from winning is thinking like their fans! :)

Yeah, but they are not double teaming him everytime he touches the ball like they have been doing with TD.

The key to winning Game 5, besides Horry going beserk was that TD figured out how to beat the double team quicker, so he was either going to his shot faster or he was finding the open man.

[CosmicCowboy]

Amy Duncan goes into labor this afternoon... :oops

Planning a Parade for Thursday?

[ReppinTheD]

Bennete Salvatore


Man...I thought it was just the Pistons who hated Salvatore, guess not.

[mavsfan1000]

I think the Pistons hate Danny Crawford.

[Uncle_Rico]

stop with the parade bullshit, that's the city planning things in advance for business, it's not like all the fans in sa got together and said we are winning tonight, let's plan the parade for thurs. im sure detroit has their's planned or at least in the works. business that's all it is.

team defense. make chauncey the scorer or hamilton. chauncey scoring means less assists, less touches for anyone else, and less rebounds. with hamilton, he's not a great passer. pick one guy shut everyone else down, they use to do it before. i dont know what happened. or yeah and BOX OUT.

[mouse]

stop with the parade bullshit, that's the city planning things in advance .

Ok so when is next years parade? :lmao

[AFE7FATMAN]

Things that will stop the spurs:

Tim playing like Timmy
(Bend you knees and make your free throws)
Manu-Getting a haircut.
TP Spending the next two nights with EL
Pop not going Serbian.

[Uncle_Rico]

Ok so when is next years parade? :lmao

same time next year, i know it hurts when the mavs never get to plan one. :cry
