Stupid mofo...Out in the first round!

How ya doin' sporkie? Have you overcome your 'wetting the bed' problem? While I'm at it, how are your Phoney Sunettes doing these days now that the playoffs are only a distant memory of times past? I actually feel bad for our Spurs knocking the Sunettes out of the playoffs so damn many times!

I agree.

If anything tonight's game proved the Spurs are not only contenders, but simply put the favorites to be holding the O"Brien trophy in mid to late or even quite possibly early June.

Being a good fan doesnt mean you have to be a blind homer.

Lakers are the favorites.

Fact is that the Spurs are more likely to get swept by the Lakers than they are to win a series against the Lakers !

I would expect that the Lakers would win in 5 games, although I would cheer for the Spurs to win !

for once I like that the Spurs are the underdogs with everyone doubting they can even win a game in the 1st round.

For once? Spurs are the underdogs and fly under the radar every season heading into the playoffs, just how we like it.

A lot of point guards can average 20 points 6 assists per game, not many can power forwards average 20 ppg 10rpg

This season there are only 6 players averaging 20 ppg and 6 apg (or very close) and only 4 of them are points guards, the other 2 being Wade and LBJ:
Paul 22.9 11
Parker 21.9 6.9
Harris 21.5 6.9
Williams 19.3 10.4

There are 4 players averaging 20 ppg and 10 rpg (or very close), 2 of them are centers (Howard and Ming) and 2 of them PFs:
Bosh 22.7 9.8
Duncan 19.4 10.5

It doesn't look to me that it's really that much easier to find a 20/6 guard than a 20/10 big. Actually it just goes to show that it's pretty hard to find any player who can score more than 20 ppg and still contribute heavily (at least statistically) in other areas.
