I am a Die-hard Spurs fan since I was a kid. I really want the Spurs to beat the Lakers this year, even though I know it will probably be a long shot. The Lakers just have too much talents at every positions.
The Spurs do not have the salary cap that Lakers has, nor that Hollywood environment that intrigues star players. All Spurs has is the heart of a champion & a group of loyal fans. I will support the Spurs to the end.
One more note, I believe Pop is the best coach in NBA and RC is the best manager. I always believe that a good coach or a good manager is the one who accomplish the most with the least resources. (players, cap, fund, etc...) A coach who win championship with an all star team really doesn't mean much, except that he has good people skill. Just my 2 cents
