i'm not assuming anything. they can still grab one out of pride.
How funny would it be if the Spurs sweep and then lose in the Finals to the Heat?
Last I checked, it was lodged 2ft into Dwight's ass tbh.
not assuming anything either, tbh... I thought they gave us their best shot last game... if we hit our 3s at an average rate, they can't keep up, IMO.
Would be sweet to close it at the grindhouse...
nothing wrong with that, IMO... ceiling was WCF and we got there... all of this is house money... just being in the finals again would be amazing, tbhQuote:

Sweeping them there would also destroy their other schticks, tbh... "grit and grind", "we don't bluff", etc...Quote:

Do you guys really fear that meth addict birdman trying to defend TD? They can let Lebron stad pad all he wants and get his razzle dazzle bullshit. If we put Kawhi on a broken-down Wade, they may not have enough firepower to hang with us. Who knows? But they can be beat. First things first, though. Let's sweep and get our revenge on those punks from Memphis.
It would not be funny at all!Quote:

At least the Spurs would be Western Conference Champions. Still would love to get :lobt2: #5, though.Quote:

No, they are a monster. Conference be damned, they are two superstars (best player in the game and a top 5), and one franchise player (Bosh) who's long and shoots 3s and the midrange really well, best 3pt shooter in the history of the game, and one of the smartest defenders in the NBA (Shane).Quote:

I don't think they're overrated. I just don't think they should be crowned already and have the Spurs DOA'd.Quote:

After last season's collapse I honestly didn't even think the Spurs would get back to the WCF let alone having a shot to go back to the Finals. I've assumed wrong all year, and I've assumed Miami was unstoppable all year...Quote:

We didn't think we'd be playing GS in the 2nd round, didn't see the Clippers falling in the 1st to Memphis. We certainly didn't see this 3-0 lead happening. Crazy shit happens and the Spurs are poised to make their 5th Finals appearance. I'm hoping they get there, and when they do I'm just going to enjoy it. I hope they do as well. If we win, that's going to be epic. I'll be on a high until the next freeze. Last time I stayed at this lake cabin I'm going to be at during the Finals, the Spurs won the ring. I had to watch on a small b&w TV with poor reception but I watched.Quote:

Even if the Grizzlies win and make it a 3-1 series, I wouldn't be seriously worried - unless they proceed to make it 3-2. Then suddenly it's a whole different series - they'd be back home at FedEx Forum with a chance to force a Game 7.
No, I didn't get my broom yet. I see a lot of threads about Spurs vs Heat, and that's fine. Personally I'm either too superstitious or maybe methodical about everything to make comments like that, I just want us to beat the Grizzlies in the most effective way possible, then I'll worry about what happens next.

Grizzlies ain't doin' shit. Refs doin' work trying to keep them in the game.
Heat could to 7 games with Pacers and still would be heavy favorites- Spurs get to finals playing with house money will be HUGE underdogsQuote:
