Spurs are in TROUBLE!
LeBron and the refs are coming! :devil
Even if you have some good ol fashion heavy artillery, you can't stop the SWAT and that's what Stern's evil empire is....they're the freakin SWAT TEAM! STERN is working with some type of marketing force behind the scenes. You seen how he and his henchmen handed D-Wade and the cHEAT the trophy last year now watch him and his henchmen hand the trophy to LeBron and co.
The marketing force will be too strong for the spurs. They will put up a good fight but it would be too much in the end.

Re: Spurs are in TROUBLE!
Spurs fans I'm warning you, don't get cocky like the mavs fans. I'm not even comparing the spurs to the mavs but don't start acting like you have it in the bag.

Yea after what happened last year i'd say anything goes. Wouldn't be surprised if Lebron set the record for FT attempts in a series.

Re: Spurs are in TROUBLE!
I do belive he will get alot of calls just like wade as you said. The spurs know this and will prepare for it, by the way the dude with the frow he is a MAJOR flopper Dunc needs to prepare for that as well.

Re: Spurs are in TROUBLE!
IF by trouble you mean will win in 4-5 games easily then yes the Spurs are in trouble.

The Spurs never do...that's why they are 3-time NBA Champions...and hopefully soon to be 4-time NBA Champions... :toast

So why didn't Stern do it for the Knicks in '99. :)

Re: Spurs are in TROUBLE!
There is absolutely no way the LEAST will win two years in a row.
but we are getting set up for the "future" of the NBA

Re: Spurs are in TROUBLE!
Stern has what he wants. LeBron to lift the ratings of the finals; along with a team that everybody (now apparently) loves to hate.
Who wins at this point doesn't really matter.
Next year, however, the ratings for the rematch will be even better, as LeBron tries to get over that mountain.

everybody cared until they team lost, same as every season.
the spurs team is not the spurs fans. spurs fans can be completely overconfident, while the spurs will take this opponent as seriously as they did the nuggets, who were picked the beat the spurs by some analysts.

Re: Spurs are in TROUBLE!
Who will get more doubles, Lebron or Gibson? :lol

Re: Spurs are in TROUBLE!
So far... no one it the basketball world - and I do mean NO one - is picking the Cavs. But fans have a tendency of getting caught up in the moment. There are fresh images in the minds of many fans of Lebron running roughshot over the Pistons, and it's clouded their judgement. Many fans are also far too taken with individual greatness.
The Pistons (this version of the Pistons) are a faaaaaar cry from the Spurs. The Cavs are about to get a championship education. The same one the Jazz just got.

Re: Spurs are in TROUBLE!
10 minutes to go in the 4th. I turned on TV, which was already tuned to TNT--game and post show should have been WAY over, but the delay prevented and Ernie was just saying "see you next year", totally blew the outcome, argh.
Hey, what the f am I doing still in the Spurs forum? Well, no one in Kings forum really cares, and Pistons fans are too sad to hear my cheers... :)
Dayum, Wallace 2nd T. Pistons fans were probably choking hard on that one, dayum.

Totally agree. Although, the Cavs could squeek out a coupla games. I didn't see any of the Cav's series with Nets or Wiz, but this series the Cavs have gotten progressively better on both ends of the court. This night, CAVS are winning this game, an elimination with badboy Pistons. Amazing. Pistons showed no heart. Spurs will not be so foolish...
-
Re: Spurs are in TROUBLE!
Greg Anthony pussied out by saying he couldn't make a prediction tonight. However, he later said this series would be decided at the 3 point line... and then pointed out that the Spurs guard the 3 point line better than any team in the league. I don't think he mentioned though that the Spurs are one of the best 3 point shooting teams in the league.

Lebron is stronger than Wade and makes better decisions. Wade gets all his calls by being half flopper, half maniac.

That clock malfunction to start the 2nd quarter TOTALLY disrupted play. I don't think there was one whistle in the first 8 minutes of the game.

It just won't matter. The Spurs aren't going to let Lebron make his teammates better to the degree he was able to in this series. Those 3's aren't going to be there for them against SA. They're going to make it a little tougher on Lebron, and keep other guys on that team from going off.
Meanwhile, the Spurs are going to go to work on the offensive end. Mike Brown has done a nice job suring up that cleveland defense, but Tim, Tony, and Manu will prove that Brown's got some work left to do.
As I said in a previous post... this will be a championship education. I think this will be a great experience for Cleveland. I think they will learn a lot from this series against the Spurs. I'm not trying to be funny in saying that. I really do think the Cavs will come away from this Finals matchup wiser than they are today.

Re: Spurs are in TROUBLE!
Can spurs control one of the best offensive re-bounding teams in the league?
Duncan can't do everything or can he????

Last time I counted there are only five guys on each team. When a team gets as hot as Cavs have been the last two games, the opposing team just can't do anything. No one could have guarded Lebron last game, and how is it a rookie is owning Detroit, DETROIT in the 4th quarter of an elimination game? Shit happens. :lol Gibson is even getting boards, dayum.
The education Cavs get playing Spurs will be priceless, and I even said that myself the other day (maybe at my home board, I forget). It will be a fun series for the league, and after last years debacle on the ratings front, Stern will be sporting a grin for at least one week.
Lebron throws the ball into the crowd. $5,000 for NBA Cares. Game over.

Parker >>> Hughes

Bowen <<<<<<<<< James
Duncan >>>>>> Gooden
Oberto > Z (Fab is a better passer)
Hmm. I think the Spurs have a bit of an advantage there.

Have you ever seen the Spurs TEAM when they get hot? Utah certainly has. James can only score 3 points at a time, as the Spurs aren't stupid enough to foul him behind the arc. The Spurs will absolutely shred the Cavs defense, and I'll take 5 players who are feeding off one another (instead of self-destructing like we saw with the Pistons, Suns, and Jazz) over one player any day.
James can get hot, but I bet he won't shoot a higher clip than the Spurs when they're getting wide open layups.

True, Spurs will have more open lane space than Cavs will, but Cavs perimeter game has gotten better than, say, Game 1 against Detroit (that's all the data I have, anyways). Cavs bench is looking a little hotter than post-season with Gibson and Hughes having a couple of good games under his belt finally. Albeit true, Spurs bench is probably the best in the league.
Even good teams have breakdowns, and that's what Cavs need to see happen to Spurs if they expect to take more than one game, two games max. However, I don't expect the Spurs to win the perimeter fight every night, for sure.

At least Timmy stayed in position unlike Tayshaun running out of the way!
Anyway, the Spurs are too good to be affected by media bias.
At the moment, I think there are some doubts, since the Cavs success is the last thing we've seen.
I think it's anyone's guess about just how much disparity there is between the two teams until we get to see these two teams play the first two games.
The odds are in the Spurs favor, but a lot of the extra talk between now and Thursday "about why the Cavs can't beat the Spurs", is just Spurs fans reassuring themselves after seeing Lebron explode in game 5.
I know, because I'm one of them. :lol
(But I guess the same can be said on the Cavs fans' side, about how the Cavs could actually hang the Spurs)

Re: Spurs are in TROUBLE!
Spurs have never faced a player like LeBron in the finals, this should be the ultimate test.
I don't like the fact the Cavs are on a mighty roll and the Spurs have had too much time to think about things.
I think the Cavs know if they steal one in San Antone the series might be theirs to win.

Spurs in 6. LBJ will be tough but that little dude aint gonna be dropping alll those points on the Spurs. With all the LBJ press bombarding us, that will serve as motivation to our guys. Its a Finals, not an exhibition or all-star game.

Me either. But keep in mind. He still has to actually make them. And we saw him miss several over the course of this last series.
Now on the other hand if Gibson gets a FT parade, that could be scary.
