Re: All the pressure is on the Spurs to win this series:
The most important game of the season, the nets and the cavs made history with the worst 4th quarter of the entire NBA history making 2 shots each. That's the team facing the spurs tomorrow.
Re: All the pressure is on the Spurs to win this series:
Lebron fucked up royally putting that picture in his locker. First team to 90 wins? I bet the Spurs get there by the end of the third quarter in game 1.
Re: All the pressure is on the Spurs to win this series:
Oh the horror. The pressure is all on the Spurs to win a series. Can't remember the last time that happened.
What are we going to do?! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...69/runaway.gif

Kobe was winning championships with Shaq and now he can't even make it out of the first round (and don't say it's entirely for lack of talent either, Bynum is a 7-footer with skills and Odom is a good all-around forward in his own right).
Oh my god the Lakers made the playoffs 2 of the last 3 years since Shaq left which is more than you can say for a guy like Garnett who has missed the playoffs the last few years and only been out of round 1 one time, yet people still think he is one of the best PF of all time. Took the Bulls 7 years to get to the title building around MJ. Shaq goes to the heat plays with a stud like Wade and they win the title. Just check the stats Wade owned that finals Shaq, did next to nothing. He was a small factor but Wade was the force that won that title, not Shaq. Kobe does not have much on that team, you put Shaq on that team, without Kobe they are not going very far, Duncan same thing they would not go very far. Kobe by the numbers and by the number of rings he has is one of the best players ever. He is without a doubt the most skilled player to play the SG since Jordan.

Soon he'll become slower and struggling to stay in shape.
Even if Cleveland loses, which I doubt, they have LOTS of time to get back to the finals and like I said the CBA rules makes it more possible.
Teams use to BUY championships, but that's NOT the case now. Teams with superstars have a better chance at retaining their star players. Take Orlando for instances, they have $10-$11 million to spend in the off season. The most they can offer a player is 5 years $70 Million. The most that players team can offer is 6 years $90. NO PLAYER is gonna turn down $15 million and while you may be pounding on your chest, your window of opportunity is NOT as wide as ours. Tim Duncans are a seldom breed and after he's gone or has slowed down it will be tougher for you guys to replace that.
You have to win NOW!
If you guys lose it will be a tragedy for not only the team, but the fans of San Antonio. Win or Lose, Cleveland has a bright future ahead of them with Miami getting older and Detroit having a big question mark along with age. Going to the finals and watching this team improve year to year has taken ALL kinds of pressure off of us. We have a good mixture of young players to go along with experienced players. The thing that I'm happy about most is, it's our young guys who have been instrumental in us going to the finals. The veterans have done their part, but they haven't had as near the affect of us going to the finals as the young guys (Varejao, Gibson, LbJ, Sasha, etc.).
Before it's all said and done with, Lebron will have taken this team to waaaay more championships then DUNCAN has taken the Spe-rms to.
All hail to the king :king
