Last two teams to sweep the first two rounds lost in the Conference Finals

[Jacob1983]

You were warned Spurs fans. Hopefully for your sake, your Spurs don't wind up like the 2009 Cavs or the 2010 Magic. Both teams swept the first two rounds but shat a brick in the Conference Finals. It would be an epic fail for the Spurs to suck ass in the WCF and not make it to the Finals.
If you go 8-0 in the first two rounds, you have to get to the Finals in order for your journey not to be a fail.

[MavDynasty]

Yeah, I made a mistake. What else is new? All the Dirk and Mav haters are jizzing tonight. I just took a xanax so I'm kind of mellowing down. And I've recently started to reconsider suicide. And before you bitch me out or call me a pussy, this has nothing to do with the Mavs. I'm miserable right now in my life and I'm starting to come to a breaking point. I'm stuck at a dead end job with shitty pay and I get treated like a piece of shit too there. No respect at all. I am a hopeless piece of shit and prick. I wasted 5 and a half years in college in the hopes of possibly getting a good paying job or at least a decent paying job. I've been stuck in retail for almost 3 years making a whopping 15K a year. How am I ever going to be happy making shitty money like that? Sorry for the rant, I think it's the xanax kicking in.

[Jacob1983]

Really? Get some new material. I mean if you're going to insult me or try to troll me, at least show some effort and put some thought into it.

[Technique]

Hopefully bro. Hopefully. Albeit those two teams were pretty atrocious. Outside both team's superstars they were complete garbage.

I mean when your next best player is Rashard Lewis you got issues.

Bringing in zombie Shaq to certify the center position doesn't do justice either.

[NASpurs]

:lol Eastern Conference

Anybody can sweep their way into the conference finals in the East.

[DMC]

Yeah, Spurs are fucked. 18 in a row pretty much seals the deal imo.

[Kai]

This Spurs team is much better than those 2 mentioned.

Fuck your team clown

[Jacob1983]

I didn't say it was going to happen. I just said it could happen. Overconfidence can be a killer.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Neat stat.

[baseline bum]

Duncan and Parker have to worry about my overconfidence?

[midnightpulp]

:lol

[racm]

Those Cavs and Magic were top-heavy and have zero rings between them.

[100%duncan]

Aight.

[Latarian Milton]

the classic ones never fade tbh, nice found MD nigga :tu

[Leetonidas]

way to compare them to completely different teams, essentially one man shows :lmao

8-0 in the first two rounds is where the comparisons end tbh

[BlackSwordsMan]

last team to win a ring after two two sweeps was in 99 :cry

[Venti Quattro]

last team to win a ring after two two sweeps was in 99 :cry

It was in 2001.

[BlackSwordsMan]

It was in 2001.

I guess I shoulda said this isn't the first time spurs went into the WCF with two sweeps under their belt.

[VBM]

I guess I shoulda said this isn't the first time spurs went into the WCF with two sweeps under their belt.

I thought they dropped one to Minnesota in the first round in 99.

[hater]

WCF is going 6-7 games. that is a given

Many people in your position or worse. Pain is a good motivator to make things happen in a positive way.

[cantthinkofanything]

LOL at Eastern Conference

[BlackSwordsMan]

I thought they dropped one to Minnesota in the first round in 99.

I guess I shoulda said erwgprewgerw.gewh.erh.re.r

[Durant 35]

Hopefully it is a trend but as mentioned completely different teams.

[baseline bum]

last team to win a ring with class after two two sweeps was in 99 :cry

[DJ Mbenga]

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Two teams is hardly a large enough statistical sample size to draw conclusions.

[Reck]

Its not a failure at this point.

Spurs hadn't smelled the conference finals in for a minute now, if they end up losing to OKC it would not be because of lack of effort.

As long as Thunder dont sweep the Spurs or isn't at least a competitive series, its not gonna bother me.

[Jacob1983]

I'm just saying that if the Spurs have to win the championship, I want them to struggle a little bit and face some competition and adversity for a change. It would be nice to see them finally trail an NBA Finals series.

Maybe the spurs just make it look easy :lol

Interesting, I'd never realized that before (that the Spurs have never trailed in the Finals.)

[Jacob1983]

The Spurs have it easy in pretty much every playoff series they've played in the 4 years that they've hoisted the Larry O'Brien Trophy. I mean be honest, excluding the 2005 NBA Finals, the Spurs have never been challenged, faced adversity, or been tested. I want them to be tested, face adversity, and face some fuckin' competition in the playoffs.

[VBM]

Spurs - Nets was tougher than it looked (remember, NJ stole HCA in Game 2).

[Jacob1983]

Don't sweep the first two rounds in the NBA playoffs because you won't make it to the Finals. Is it a recent curse?
