In 2008, what if the Spurs played Boston in the Finals. Who Wins?

Celtics in 3. Maybe 2 1/2.

Classic 2005 era ST humor for ya! Something that Mav Fan could never do.

Manu was the best player on the court in that second game. Easily over everyone else on both teams. He was playing AWESOME at that point of the season. I think this was also one of the games he tweaked his ankle at the end of that game, coming down on it wrong after scoring, then re-injuring it again in the Suns series.

If Manu was healthy for the whole playoffs, the Spurs would have definitely had a chance against Boston. Kendrick Perkins said that the Celtics were hoping the Lakers made it as they didn't want to play the Spurs, so to me that says, they might have been a bit jittery going against the Spurs in game 1, and maybe the Spurs could have stole game 1 because of that. KG had lost to the Spurs twice before (KG had no fear against Gasol, TD would have been a different story), Ray Allen had lost to the Spurs before in the playoffs (not to mention Bruce Bowen who could get in Ray Allen's head like no other), all these things would have added up and the Celtics may have put some pressure on themselves against the Spurs, whereas against LA they felt no pressure the first two games.

Celtics were the better team all season, but IMO a fully healthy Spurs team would have had a chance, probably a better chance than LA did. Boston was definitely a very, very good team that season.

In any semi-believable alternate reality scenario Bynum/Ariza would have been fully healthy so this outcome would not have been feasible after what Kobe did to that washed up franchise in the WCF.

A lot of these cow tippers conveniently forget that we were down 2 starters. This thread is a reality check: even if they represent the WC in the Finals, they win one game - maybe. But since we were down two starters the Celtics would not have been denied as we saw.

Boston wins, but not by 39.

In how many games?
