dear god no
What do you think about that?
I think they're following the big city media propaganda. Hook, line, and sinker. What they hope is that the Spurs don't up the Lakers Heat Finals they're craving and trying to ... HOLLYWOOD MANUFACTURE. It's the same way they gave Blake Griffin, the slam dunk le. Did he really win it? It was more like, that's close enough...we'll give it to you.
That's what Big City Media tries to do every year. This year, they've anchored themselves to 2 quality young American Stars in hopes of making the team best known for International starts to go away, so that they can get, what they feel, a sexier team to the Western Conference Finals. I hope that either the Hornets, unlikely, or the Mavericks, can screw the LAL's plan and crash the Conference Finals opposite the Spurs.
They wont be the only ones picking them if it comes down to those teams.
i think many people would...and it's not a crazy pick...OKS is scary good...they just need a little seasoning...I'm just not sure if adding Perkins is enough for them...
Greg anthony =
= Dennis Scott
If the Spurs can get past Memphis in 5 and Manu is healthy then I definitely like our chances against OKC.
Dennis Scott can turn into Nick Nick Anderson when it comes to picks, and brick the big one so it I don't think about his picks.
Let's just worry about MEM
So we can beat Memphis, well done.
The Spurs path to the Western Finals really preps them for facing the Lakers. Both OKC and MEM have size simlar to LA and if we get past them we will be fine.
Why do analysts keep picking winners of series that have yet to be determined?
I guess it would be for bracket purposes.
Also don't forget they are highly paid to speculate...so in a way, they are doing their job.
two of the biggest re s in broadcasting
Meh, Thunder are a tough matchup for the Spurs after the Perkins trade. Westbrook vs. Parker will be interesting to watch. Durant vs. Ginobili will be tough too. Perkins vs. Duncan?
If this matchup happens, It'll come down to George Hill and his ability defend Durant even a little bit and Parker's ability to control Westbook, even a little bit.
Greg Anthony just can't get over the Sean Elliott's Memorial Day triple on his punk Blazer team in 99. He's always been a Spurs hater since.
Yes but was he in Porltand the year later when LA stole game 7? If so why not hate them? I know the media is trained to love them guys but damn that had to hurt worse? Two costed les there in two games IMO! IF PORTLAND beats us in game two they are into it and maybe get to 7 games and who knows then! LA they just got damn blew it! Up 13 late in game 7 and folded.
One advantage we have playing Memphis is that all the hype around them as a potential to upset us will make sure we don't overlook the Grizzlies. Not that Pop would let us do that anyway.
But the Thunder are young, and if they get too excited about meeting us in rd 2, they could easily overlook a very capable Denver team in round 1. Denver won 50 games, and have ZERO expectations on them. That makes for a very dangerous young team with nothing to lose. I actually see an outside chance for an upset in that series.
Interesting. Especially since Round 1 hasn't begun. Denver will give OKC all they can handle. It's a whole new season. Memphis is going to get spanked.
Don't matter. Greg Anthony has always been a Spur-hater and will never give them a shot. Who the is Dennis Scott?
Greg Anthony hates the sweep the Spurs gave him in 99 and Dennis Scott and Nick Anderson were Shaqs Bonner and Neal in Orlando.
