what is the ideal road to the Finals?

[honestfool84]

sometimes i wonder if i want all the good teams to get knocked out, so that we have the easy road to the finals..
but then at the same time, you kinda want to play all the good teams, so that when we get there, we can say we stomped all the good teams.

my ideal road would be..

spurs vs suns.
then,
spurs vs mavs.
then,
spurs vs fags, ahem, lakers.

then spurs and boston.
that would an awesome playoff trip to watch, IMHO.

Oh, wow. Some stupid 12-year old insulted me in his sig. I'm *crushed*.

[txstr1986]

Looks good to me, especially Boston. I want the whole KG>TD bullshit shot down for good.

[Brutalis]

Neat

-WTF WHO CARES

Oh, wow. Some stupid 12-year old insulted me in his sig. I'm *crushed*.

:lmao

Let it roll off you Shagia.

[Mister Sinister]

I don't care how we get to the Finals nearly as much as I want to see us beat Boston.

[Mister Sinister]

:lmao

Let it roll off you Shagia.
Hard for it not to. I'm rather fat, so most things roll off naturally. :lmao

[Allanon]

I know it's fun beating the good teams but if you want any chance at winning the Title, that's the worst lineup you can ask for. That's potentially 3 seven game series right thar. In the meantime, the Lakers would have had: Warriors-5 games / Rockets 4 games / Hornets 5 games / Denver 6 games (Don't know who's gonna win so I listed the potentials)

And if the Spurs get by the Lakers, they have a fresh Detroit or Boston waiting for them.

[td4mvp21]

Cool!

-td4mvp21

[honestfool84]

yeah.
ok, maybe we should throw in an "easy" round, just to let them rest.
good idea.

[MajicMan]

Pick the hardest road moron and thou shall not pass because thou have never repeateded!

[ATXSPUR]

Pick the hardest road moron and thou shall not pass because thou have never repeateded!

does lakerfan ever have anything new to contribute?

[BonnerDynasty]

Warriors/Denver in 5

Suns in 5

Utah in 6

Boston in 7

KG is better than dunkin, no need for final games.

[duncan228]

KG is better than dunkin, no need for final games.

When KG has 4 rings come back and talk to us.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'd want New Orleans, Jazz, Lakers, and then Boston for the finals


I think Detroit would be a horrible horrible horrible matchup for us this year.

[Princess Pimp]

When KG has 4 rings come back and talk to us.

Rings and titles are team accomplishments.

We're talking KG>>>>TD individually, one on one, mano a mano....

[Princess Pimp]

You won't beat any of those teams...

[m33p0]

You won't beat any of those teams...
we're talking about the spurs here, not your measly suns.

[WalterBenitez]

Mavs, Suns, Laker ... don't care the order!

Finals either DET or green boys.

[xtremesteven33]

The EASIEST road would have to be...

1st round- Warriors
2nd round-Hornets
3rd round-Jazz

no doubt.....

Hardest would be
1st round-Mavs
2nd round-Suns
3rd round-Lakers

[SAGambler]

KG is better than dunkin, no need for final games.

KG is the guy that could never carry his team.

Duncan is the guy that carries his every year.

Yeah, KG is better than Duncan.....

Only in a Phoenix Fans dreams.

[SpurAddict561]

lmao@ KG > Duncan

you truly can't be serious.

[SAGambler]

Rings and titles are team accomplishments.

We're talking KG>>>>TD individually, one on one, mano a mano....

And Basketball is a TEAM sport. How many "mano a mano" games you watch?

Besides, Duncan would win that one too.

[honestfool84]

Rings and titles are team accomplishments.

We're talking KG>>>>TD individually, one on one, mano a mano....


KG will NEVER, EVER, EVER be better than duncan.

KG's awards:
league MVP - once
finals MVP - zero
all-NBA first team - three
rookie of the year - NO
championships - ZERO.



now lets look at duncan's awards:
league MVP - two times in a row
finals MVP - three times
all-NBA first team - nine
rookie of the year - YES
championships - FOUR (almost FIVE)


now :stfu, phoenix fan. :)

[21_Blessings]

KG is the guy that could never carry his team.

Duncan is the guy that carries his every year.

Yeah, KG is better than Duncan.....

Only in a Phoenix Fans dreams.

You're pretty dumb. Duncan does not carry Robinson, Parker and Manu.

Yeah, lets see Duncan win a ring with Marko Jaric as his second best player and Kevin Mchale his GM.

Well said.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Well 35 and 10 will both get you to San Antonio, but depending on where you're coming from you may need to spend time on 37, or 410 to get around to the SBC Center. This is really a better question for mapquest or google.

Actually you are the dumbass by your logic Jordan didn't carry Pippen,Rodman,Grant,Kukoc. Every team has a player thats their leader which is usually the difference between winning a title and not winning. Your right Duncan doesn't win a title with Jaric as his second best player on his team but there is no way in hell he misses the playoffs like KG did. Even the years when the spurs had less talented supporting castes they were still one of the elite teams like in '01 and '02. KG is simply not in the league as Duncan or what Shaq was back in his prime because he needs too much help simply to make it to the palyoffs.

[theroc5]

Spurs over Mavs in 4
Spurs over Suns 4
Spurs over Jazz in 4
Spurs over Celtics in 4


Thats My drea road to the finals!

:lol :lol :lol :lol


No Duncan = Spurs have no rings.

Tell me who is dumb again . . .

KG had a decent team a couple of years back. He choked.

Next!

[duncan228]

21_Blessings-Why would a Lakers fan have the number 21 in his user name on a Spurs message board?

[Martin R]

Book this :

First Round : vs WARRIORS
Second Round : vs MAVERICKS
WCF : vs LAKERS

[tmtcsc]

How about:

KG
Sprewell
Cassell
Szerbiak
Hudson
Hassell

# 1 Seed in West in 2004-2005. Uh-huh. He had a good team around him and sucked. Remember people giving him the Lebron treatment ? Shoot it Kevin !!!! Why doesn't he take over the game ? Why doesn't he demand the ball ? Cuz he's scerrred.

[Galileo]

When KG has 4 rings come back and talk to us.

When KG wins his 3rd playoff series in 13 years, please come back and talk to us.

[Jimcs50]

1st round 8th seeded Blazers

2nd round 7th seeded Warriors

3rd round 6th seeded Nuggets

Finals 3rd seeded Cavs

That would be sweet

We do want at least 2000 viewers watching the Finals, yes?

[Cry Havoc]

1st Round - Spurs over Suns in 5 (Shaq and Nash get tossed in Game 5 for bitching about calls).

2nd Round - Spurs over Mavs in 5 (Duncan outplays Dirk every night)

WC Finals - Spurs over Lakers in 7 (Classic WC match, Horry drills a three with 4.0 seconds left to put the Spurs up by 2, then Duncan blocks Kobe's desperation layup to seal it.)

NBA Finals - Spurs over Celtics in 7 - Double OT - Duncan completely shuts down KG over the final two frames, leaving it up to Pierce and Allen to do their damage. But Parker and Manu come through with defense and fast-breaking to pull away in the final 45 seconds and give the Spurs a 5th Title.

[703 Spurz]

Dunkin Donuts maybe :smokin

Whore

[urunobili]

1st Round against the Mavs in 5
2nd Round against the Hornets in 6
3rd Round against Flakers in 6
Finals vs the Cavs in 6 TP's FMVP again

-David

the mavs and suns traded their way to irrelevancy, the worthy opponents will be the Jazz, Hornets, and Lakers.

I'd love to see TP vs. CP3 and then Williams, that would be great, and resolve some "top 5 PG" disputes.

and then of course it has to be LA in the conference finals, revive the rivalry!

:hungry:

[dg7md]

Sonics, Clippers, Memphis, followed by a series versus the Knicks in an epic '99 rematch.

[Mister Sinister]

Dunkin Donuts maybe :smokin

No, fuck you. You'd rather eat KG than Dunkin Donuts? You blaspheme!

haha.
that would be FREAKING awesome if it played out just like you said..
but change horry's three to .04 seconds..
;)
haha.

[barbacoataco]

I'm not sure the Suns will make the playoffs. The ideal road for the Spurs is one that leads to a 5th championship

Basketball is a team game.

One who makes his team better and win a championship has always been a better player in the history.

That is why Russell was chosen to be the greatest in 1980 over Wilt.
