Sorry Suns, the Spurs are ending this shit on Friday. What they went through in Phoenix in Game 5 will be motivation enough not to go back.

Then the NBA/ABC/TNT/ESPN marketing departments go into major coniptions because there is a final 4 of:
Detroit
Cleveland
Utah
San Antonio
Guess who the "Golden Boy" of the next round is gonna be

Spurs will take care of business, what they can control, and that will be enough.
I just can't see the Suns winning this game. It just isn't going to happen.
We're going to see some old time, vintage Spurs defense. (like those quotes, "playing against the Spurs, there's going to be a period of five to ten minutes where you just are not going to score.")

Exactly! Not saying the Spurs won't win the series because of it but the officiating crew for Game 6 might give an indication on how the game will go.Quote:

So, obviously, you're right: he is impartial and I just missed it.
Oh, snap.
(Makes me think of an old time movie [1994]where one of the characters asked the other, "When do you become so paranoid?" and the other character answered, "When everybody started trying to kill me!") :lol
Whatever if Bavetta shows up tomorrow expect Game 7.Quote:

I expect LeBron to get lots and lots of calls against Detroit in the East Finals and in the Finals.Quote:

Please, let's forget about the refs.
I wouldn't call the league fixed per se, but it is "guided" in the direction of having the teams with the largest tv markets do well and in extending series to the maximum number of games with the ultimate goal being to make every NBA owner richer. That is the why.Quote:

They nearly did last year and the more the Pistons let the Bulls hang around will be to thier detriment.Quote:

:toast
Yeah, the championship steak the Knicks have going this century while the Spurs have been shut out the past seven years is clear evidence of this.Quote:

Put it in your own words.

A one man team can't beat the Detroit Pistons.
That series will probably go only 4 or 5 games.
I expect the Spurs to take care of business in Game 6 and send this sad sack lot of floppers and whiners back to Phoenix to begin doing what millionaire ballplayers do in the offseason.
Simple math for you,Quote:
