Spurs/Knicks again with Jeremy Lin playing the role of Latrell Sprewell
I say "we" or "us" because it's San Antonio. No big deal.
Spurs/Knicks again with Jeremy Lin playing the role of Latrell Sprewell
We are just a very good regular season team nowadays. But I dig the confidence.
Losing in the Finals is still the second-best outcome a season can have. At this point I'd take it.
Yep, I think this is a serious possibility. And while Miami would be heavy favorites (and for good reason), it would be one of the greatest upsets of all time if the Spurs won - and ruining James's hopes of a championship would make it that much sweeter.
It will be difficult, but it is possible. The Spurs are too smart and well-coached to be easily beaten in a 7-game series.
who says it has to be spurs vs. heat?![]()
Unless defense improves to at least top 5, no way they make it that far.
Defense wins championships, bottom line!
It could happen, but it would be an easy 4-0 sweep for Miami with maybe 1 close game.
Spurs don't have a snowball's chance in Miami of beating the Heat.
The Spurs just need to make sure they do everything they can to have a better regular season record to secure home court, just in case they meet in the finals.![]()
Home court in the Finals doesn't mean as much. The teams that meet in the Finals should be good enough to win on the road. If you can't win on the road you probably can't make it to the Finals.
Sorry, I was being sarcastic. I was alluding to the fact Pop played Manu last year against Phoenix just so we could have home court if we met Chicago in the finals. We know how that turned out.![]()
Pop's reason is he wanted his starters to get some playing time since they hadn't played against the Lakers in the game before.
I'm unclear, does that mean Jeremy Lin will choke out his coach or just go broke and only be mentioned in the press when he beaches his yacht?
I'd LOVE to see a Spurs-Heat Finals. It would be a matchup we've been waiting for for years.
2006 - if Manu hadn't fouled Dirk, chances are it would have been a Spurs-Heat Finals.
2011 - The West's top seed fell to the.......Grizz.
This would be cool, too. I'd like for San Antonio to prevail in 7 games, but Lin has a monster performance in every single one of those games - averaging, like, 35 points per game.
And Duncan gets that long-awaited 5th ring.
I would love to see the Spurs vs. Heat in the playoffs, but am truly thinking of winning the next game at this point. Given a 7 game series, I think Pop, and healthy Tim, Manu and Tony would overcome the Heat.
Honestly, the Knicks / Spurs playoffs would probably net more $ and eyeballs, due to the international appeal and NY.
This thread reeks of baggery.
thought i smelled something in here
The spurs have to preserve the magical cap space for next season. It's so magical that every last penny must be saved, even a few million for a shot at a le. Besides, the spurs don't need another big. It's a solid gamble that Dejuan Blair's across the board numbers will suddenly improve and he'll get smart at basketball IQ. Happens all the time really. No worries.
So pencil us in for a likelythis year. Then the fun really starts when the magical capspace is going to land us Dwight, Gerald & the boys. Then we can start ringing like crazy. Pencil us in for the championship in 2013, 2014, & 2015.
The Spurs have established themselves as the best team in the league once again. Dallas has regressed, Lakers haven't been good since 2010, and OKC is too young.
If you guys think we have no chance, why watch? and why comment?, just come back next season.
