In the latest BS Report. He says they are just the best team right now and will win the le no matter who they play.
EDIT: Simmons gushes about the Spurs but then says "it's always a safe pick to go with the best player in the series," so we can assume he's picking Miami, obviously.

Shut their down more than anyone else has defensively and take care of the ball/make shots on offense. They do that and they can win
Steve Kerr? You don't say...
I don't know if it's just me, but I like when the media and "experts" pick against us.
And then others with the small market mentality come in this forum and that the Spurs never get respect and are always picked against. Lots of polarizing Spurs fans.
The best place to be is when expectations are high. GET USE TO IT! Its always gonna be that way. And now lets go out and prove everybody right.
We KNOW were better than you. We dont give a if you know it or not. We dont give a if you give us your best game. Were gonna give you our best game. And were gonna be the outta you. How's that?
LET'S GET IT!

Throughout the season Miami looked unbeatable but the fact is that other than a few decent teams they were playing against ty Eastern Conference teams. The struggles they've had in the playoffs prove that. The combination of our precise execution combined with our vastly improved defense should put us over the top of the struggling, out of sync Heat.
Kerr actually said Duncan is "boring".![]()
TBH picking the team with home court is almost always reasonable. An exception would be let's say LeBron breaks a leg while the Heat are up 12 in Game 7 against IN with 1 minute to go. While we would never hope for an injury to anyone, that is an ideal situation for a spurs championship for which we would certainly be favored.
It's funny to me that it takes a "Jordan-esque" 3rdQ for LeBronda to give the Heat any shot of winning Game 5 last night. Not that Z-Bo and the Warrior 'twins' (Curry and Klay) are anything on the same Level of LeBronda, but with what Pop's been able to do with his role-players and shutting down the overall productivity of the opposing teams best scorer gives me such a vote of confidence that Pop Can Limit LeBronda to 15-20 pts per night and make the disabled D-Wade step up.
I loved what Magic Johnson said after the Spurs SWEPT the Griz: "The Heat just don't have anyone that can guard Tony Parker".
Parker just HAPPENS to be on a MUTHA FUGGIN mission to get Timmy "One for the Thumb" and likely another Finals MVP for himself. I'd love to see Manu get the finals MVP just so that we'd be the ONLY team ever to have 3 Finals MVP's on the same team playing together... Perhaps it's wishful thinking. In any care, I digress...
I'd go BAT crazy if the Spurs swept either the Heat or Pacers, (NOT likely) but I don't see any East team beating this ON FIRE Spurs team 4 times in 7 games.
I'm definitely a huge advocate of the Eastern Conference's overall inferior quality. But I definitely think we're getting a little lucky in that we're, more or less, firing on all cylinders right now. The Heat just aren't. They're slumping a bit. And thats a bad place to be come June 6th.
Not necessarily. Last two champs were the road teams.
The Heat also had a fantastic record vs. the West. And no team that isn't fantastic rolls off 27 straight.
But lately, Wade hasn't looked remotely like the guy who was so critical to the team during that streak, and Bosh isn't doing nearly as well either. LeBron can win a Pacers series by throwing the whole team on his back like he did last night, but there's no way he wins a Spurs series that way. If we play LeBron and the Pips, we win a Heat Finals series in 5. (I'm spotting LeBron one game for a night where he throws down a completely insane 40/15/15 or something.) If the real Wade and Bosh show up, it's a long series that people will still be talking about 20 years for now, and I've got Spurs in 7.
Basically LeBron can't beat us by himself. If the Heat want to win the role players have to get back on track.
Great to hear all these insights from Kerr
Insights or not, I have the feeling the media has to build the Spurs up as much as possible to create ratings. Miami is the favorite and now the media is creating a backdoor for Lebron if he might fail again against the Spurs. And if the Heat win it would be oh so great and such a surprise for the media to milk ...
One should notice the sarcasm in this one.
This TBH
Yesterday, Indiana's rotation D was , I cant believe they left those scrubs Chalmers and Haslem open all night
Pop wouldnt let that happen
Yeah, Spurs fans overanalyze and are so damn sensitive at times lol.
Not sure which would be the better defense against Miami: Focus on guarding LeBron and force everyone else to beat the Spurs, or focus on everyone else and force LeBron to beat the Spurs.
Kerr is a moron
my servers are all pointing to Miami in 6
still, there is some time....
Always love to hear Kerr talk. Especially enjoyed his description of SA as such a Spurs city, especially about the love he got from people on his block that one time. Glad ya'll are showing the love down there.![]()
Did he punch Jax ?
