Well, as a fan, it's a good feeling that your team always has a chance. In the NFL, you have that. In the NBA, unless you're a Heat or Lakers fan, you're feeling pretty hopeless about your le chances right now.
The Spurs fans feel better about their team's chances than a Bills, Raiders, Lions, Cleveland, Bears, Jacksonville, Tampa, Carolina, Miami, Washington, Denver, Arizona, San Fran, Seattle or Rams fan.
There are a bunch of teams in the Spurs tier that probably feel better. At least their teams will actually play very, very good more than likely. They might not win a le, but it will be because they got beat by an elite team, not some team that just so happens not to throw 9 picks.
dont see how the Saints are a bull team... they were good in reg season too. Yeah my Vikes were the best team in the NFL that year but I digress.. Colts were thoroughly outplayed.
Bringing up that Giants team is more appropriate... but even then their D-line was crominant. Tyree play was a fluke though.
and the NBA is a 3 team race: Lakers, Heat, Mavericks.
Here's my theory:
--No point guard: The team has not seen Rodney Stuckey blossom as they hoped.
They have a bunch of wing players playing playmaker. Gordon has the right idea when passing in transition, but his timing is off. Point guard requires knowledge of the defense, knowledge of the teammate, and the physical skills to get off the pass.
Stuckey, as a default, drives to the rim. He's just not very good.
--Lack of interior scoring: The Pistons lack a smart player on the interior. There's a lot of knock-aways and bad possessions when Charlie Villanueva is down there. Jerebko is best at clean-up.
--Defense: They lack the personnel to be a lock-down defensive team. The first five minutes of this game, the defense looked crisp and prepared. Past that, they have not consistent in this area.
--Effort: The losing is wearing on the veterans. Ben Wallace gets mad and Rip Hamilton appears to have given up. The young guys look like, too often, they don't know what to do to make a difference. So mentally, when the Pistons get down, they stay down.
the Miami 3rd and 2nd stringers beat Pistons starters?

Very true. Alot of people (mostly Laker fans) want to talk trash about the Heat like theyre not gonna be a damn good team. Maybe theyre just scared....
....or, they've seen the Heat's mirror image/the Cavs.
tee, hee.

We're only 4 weeks into the season...we "usually" know by Thanksgiving who the true contenders are.
My preseason pick was Ravens/Giants....I don't know why I picked the Gmen...probably b/c they were overlooked and I thought they were solid all-around. whoops
A lot of people were hyped about the Giants this year. In fact, a lot of people were hyped about, what so far have proven to be, mediocre teams.
crc, gettin' his San Antonio Heat onVery true. Alot of people (mostly Laker fans) want to talk trash about the Heat like theyre not gonna be a damn good team. Maybe theyre just scared....
Who? I'm not calling you a liar, but all the NFC East attention went to the Cowboys (potentially playing the SB in their own house), and the Eagles and Redskins (McNabb trade). The Saints, Packers, Falcons, Vikings, and 49ers were also more hyped then the Giants.
Yes, everybody looks mediocre right now, but there are also teams that we can already tell are going to be legit (Ravens, Steelers, Jets, Patriots, Packers, Falcons, Saints)
The Cowboys were definitely hyped more, but a lot of people (all over Dallas sports radio) were really high on the Giants. I did not hear anyone really high on the Redskins, especially with all that training camp mess with AH.
Eagles were only expected to be decent (lost Westbrook and McNabb). Many people (at least in the Dallas area) where high on the Giants.
God damn, the amount of insecurity on this board is ridiculous, especially among Laker fans. Talking is one thing, but hoping for an injury is something else. A true fan would want their team to win without handicaps. Prove that your horse can win while the opponent is at full strength. But since they needed a Celtic injury last year to win it, they're hoping for more of the same this year.
you are dumb.
Sorry if debating whether or not they're gonna win 68 games or 70 doesn't interest me.
You win by any means, i'd be more than happy if Kobe/Gasol went down this year if it meant the Spurs had a tiny shot at making the Finals.
no, if you're not interested at all it should say "i could'nt care less". Just so you don't lose any points on your next paper...
Fkin' eh.
You've never heard the term "I could care less".....wow.
...not after "im not interested at all"
it's ok, you're still in school.
Wow you're re ed. It's an idiom that for whatever reason doesn't line up with its literal meaning....not after "im not interested at all"
it's ok, you're still in school.
you are correct. Only doesn't work as well when written. It's supposed to be sarcastic, but derives from the original phrase, i couldn't care less.
...and apparently is associated with yiddish heritage! makes sense!
