    Every year the Spurs have won the championship, they were never the so-called "favorites" at the beginning of the season. Are we the favorites yet?

    I see absolutely no reason why any team other than SA is considered the favorites to win the championship.

    Especially if our biggest compe ion are junior-league teams like Phoenix and Dallas.

    What are you talking about?

    The Spurs were considered the favorites in 2005-06.

    Are the Knicks really your team or is that a joke? The Knicks are THE SINGLE WORST TEAM IN ALL SPORTS, including little league, high school, college, boys and girls, men and women, etc. THE WORST ORGANIZED SPORTS TEAM ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET.

    I bet you the Spurs don't consider Phoenix and Dallas junior league teams. This is why I called you an arrogant bas before, when you spew this type of nonsense about legitimate contenders. You have no respect for other teams except it seems the Jazz and the Celtics as of this moment. Who knows it will probably change in a few days or weeks, knowing you.

    Utah advanced further than both Phoenix and Dallas last year. Why wouldn't I have more respect for Utah than Phoenix/Dallas? Utah was also 2-1 vs Dallas in the regular season and didn't play like chicken s vs. Dallas like 90% of the rest of the league. Utah was also 3-1 vs Phoenix in the regular season. They were one of the more solid teams in the NBA. They just fell apart vs. SA defense.

    It's called being logical.

    Garnett and Allen - These two guys are average in the West, but given how weak the East is, Boston is going to bulldoze over every East team except Detroit. Add Paul Pierce and it's a pretty well rounded team, for the East.

    Best take ever -- you see, with Utah, it's all about the fact that they breezed through an overmatched Warriors team in the 2nd round and advanced to the Western Conference Finals. Though the Jazz were unable to be as compe ive with the Spurs as the Suns were, the Jazz are clearly the superior team because they lucked their way into the WCF.

    But wait -- the Jazz are also great because they were 2-1 against Dallas. Of course, in every other take Jeff posts, he disses the Mavs as being illegitimate contenders, so it would seem that using regular season success against the Mavericks would be a terrible measuring stick. Indeed, a purely logical take would suggest that nothing that anyone did against the Mavericks last year means anything. Of course, when it comes to the fact that the Spurs were 1-3 against the Mavs last year, that's precisely what Jeff does -- discount those losses as having come to an inferior club.

    I'm not sure what form of supreme logic tells an analyst that success against the Mavs is relevant to assessing the quality of one club, while at the same time discounting the Mavs' successa against another club as having nothing whatsoever to do with the quality of the Mavs' club.

    It seems to go something like this

    U > D (because of regular season records)
    S > D (notwithstanding regular season records)
    S > U > P (by virtue of a playoff structure and disregarding the fact that P did better against S than U did)
