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:
