Best case scenario - they beat each other up so bad and expend so much energy that the Spurs can open it up speed-wise on the winner of the series and be up 2-0 in a hurry, and grind out the remainder of the games against a tired team.Quote:

That is a possibility you know.

Actually the odds were already posted by me, it is something like 273-3
Odds of being struck by lightning is something like 9,000,000-1.
Hey Nostradamus, aren't you supposed to predict Spurs win?? you're fuking up my day! :depressedQuote:

With all the doom and gloom going around by some idiots on this forum, the power of positive thinking would do Spurs fans some good...
Huh? I ain't talkin to you fool. I'm talkin to Nostradamus Jr.Quote:

The only sports that has happened in have been hockey (who doesn't play anymore) and baseball, both games with limited opportunities to score. That has a HUGE effect on whether a team can pull an upset.
Hopefully the Spurs respond after a shitty performance the way the Pistons did last night. Damn, one win and the Spurs are back in the NBA Finals. One fucking win.
I was responding to Jim's earlier post, you may have missed it while you were typing your other comment.Quote:

Stay focused on winning this series. I have counted my Spurs' chickens too many times to know better, starting in 79 against the Bullets.
It's going to be tough.
Bring These Bad Boys On The Are Going To Get Owned!
Yep, we've been hearing that for the last 3 rounds and we are unfazed.Quote:

Yeah and, um, we've been hearing that for the last 3 rounds and we are unfazed.
Any other stunning insights?
What are the current Vegas odds on Spurs/Thugz series?
Edit: According to Vegas.com the sports line is Spurs by 6 for Game 1...
So apparently the men with the money think Spurs are the team to beat NOT Detroit.
:huhQuote:

I think that the heat might have given the spurs more trouble after the first two games
Shaq would give San Antonio some trouble because he keeps getting to the foul line and that would take away San Antonio's running game but still spurs in 6.Quote:

Phoenix is clearly the team to beat right now, but if the spurs advance to face detroit I don't think Detroit will win for several reasons.
1. Spurs have more talent
2. Detroit doesn't shoot the 3 all that well
3. They have no real inside scoring presence. Wallace has turned himself into a jump shooter.
4. Spurs have home court.
5. Detroit's offense sucks, just wait to you match up their terrible offense with the spurs defense. Though the spurs may only score 80, detroit will struggle to break 70.
The Heat will give the spurs the most trouble.
Pistons in 6
coming from you should give spurs fans a lot of comfort.Quote:
