Surprised to see Elhassan picked us. Usually always picks against us, including against Lakers last year and also had Blazers in 6 this year.

Adande i Guttierez are well known Spurs haters
Re: ESPN "Expert" Picks for 2014 WCF
Where are Barry and Legler on these this year? They would pick MethKC no doubt.
Re: ESPN "Expert" Picks for 2014 WCF
Interesting to see that ESPN has 16 experts, when actually 3-4 at most know what they're talking about.
Re: ESPN "Expert" Picks for 2014 WCF
No surprise Heat fans picked against the spurs... Adande, Izzy Gutierrez, fat boy Windhorst, Haberstroh
As long as Romo don't show up to the games... We good
Re: ESPN "Expert" Picks for 2014 WCF
All but one of the analysts that matter picked the Spurs which gives me hope...
Re: ESPN "Expert" Picks for 2014 WCF
All of these predictions are moot until Ibaka's status is determined. If he's even slowed down and his effectiveness is limited by the calf, the Thunder are in trouble tbh.
Re: ESPN "Expert" Picks for 2014 WCF
that sweat hog windhorst hasn't removed lebrons schlong from his mouth since Cleveland
Re: ESPN "Expert" Picks for 2014 WCF
Just surprised that the spurs have several people picking them to win this series.

He has already been listed as probable. I think that means he is fine. May be wrong, but that is how I am interpreting it.
Re: ESPN "Expert" Picks for 2014 WCF
I think it is telling that the "experts" are about evenly split on the series. So is a lot of Spurstalk, tbh.
All that says to me is that none of us know…except maybe for Tony Brothers…he might know.

Re: ESPN "Expert" Picks for 2014 WCF
It's Thunder in a rout (5 or 6) or Spurs in 7 b/c of HCA. I don't see us routing the Thunder in 5 or winning game 6.
Re: ESPN "Expert" Picks for 2014 WCF
Re: ESPN "Expert" Picks for 2014 WCF
Okc in 6 or spurs in 7 I'll take spurs

The fuck? :lmao Legler is a huge spurs homer. He jizzes over the spurs ball movement, experience, and coaching prowess like every fucking year. He's even said that of all the current top teams he'd love to play for the spurs because everyone gets involved. Do you actually watch ESPN or do you just like making shit up?

Re: ESPN "Expert" Picks for 2014 WCF
Elhassen is the one who constantly picks against the Spurs and he's always wrong. He's trying to reverse jinx us.

Pretty sure he's too stupid to even know what a reverse jinx is.
Re: ESPN "Expert" Picks for 2014 WCF
It's funny how people think these analysts pick winners based on who they "like."
They're trying to pick the winner. They don't pick a team they think will lose, just because they like them. In the same way, they aren't going to pick against the Spurs (thinking they'll win) just because they are "haters."
I remember this same shit in the 2012 WCF.
