    Again, I'm not giving up, just listing the huge obstacles in front of us, which we can't just gloss over.
    Nobody is glossing over the obstacles. Any true Spurs fan already knew it was going to be an uphill climb to return to the Finals, no matter our seed. What you are saying isn't exactly revelatory.

    THIS Spurs team going to a Game 7 against an 8 seed is revelatory is the point I'm trying to make. But again, I'm not giving up which I can't stress enough.

    And the point I've already made is that this isn't your traditional 8 seed. Not trying to downplay the way the Spurs are playing, they can certainly play better. But you have to realize that it might just be less about what the Spurs are doing wrong and more about what the Mavs are doing right.

    Definitely. Spurs still need to pick up their level of play, but last I checked, the Finals don't start until June. They have plenty of time to play up to their capabilities. In my opinion, they are already playing much more solid basketball compared to game 1.

    That Heat team didn't have 38 and 37 year old players as two of their best players on the team with their other part of their Big 3 having played most of a full year of basketball due to international play. Hopefully, they can dig deep for one more championship run but we should all be super pissed we've been pushed to the max in the 1st round.

    I honestly don't care when they lose, just if they lose. A loss in say, the WCF, is equal to a loss in the first round in my book.

    @ESPNSteinLine SO wish I was tech-ready enough to have Vine'd respectful low five Dirk & Timmy just exchanged after unexpectedly passing in hall. To Game 7

    Mavs are doing alot right and it seems they have a smaller margin of error than we have. They can miss more free throws and still beat us. They can have more turnovers than us and still beat us. Dirk can score less than his average and still beat us. We have to play our best game of the series yet to beat them Sunday. I'm sure we can...I just hope we have enough left in the tank afterwards.

    Why? What if the next rounds are a cakewalk? Or, what if they win it all but are pushed to 7 in every series? The ring is the thing. Enjoy the ride, and don't despair until they are eliminated.

    I feel ya. Sometimes I just get the feeling that people on this board are pessimistic just for the sake of being pessimistic.

    Don't blame you for feeling that way. I admit, I need to cool off. Thanks for the optimism, though!

    Haha, no prob. When you think about it, it's almost all that we really got left. This could be the end of a truly great era not just for the Spurs, but for the history of professional sports. We shouldn't spend it wallowing about how they are doomed. Let's just enjoy the ride and let come whatever may
