Other than just bad Karma, Or some sort of freak of nature? I don't see how the Spurs can't win it all, You might as well reserve you a spot on the San Antonio River. maybe you think different.........

Can you think of anything that would keep the Spurs from the 2005 Championship Ring?

Thanks

Sure> first of all, I worry about the long layoff and losing our sharpness in the first game due to rust. It has happened before to a lot of clubs. If we lose the first game we lose HC advantage and that might be a big loss against these opponents. Don't underestimate them.

Secondly, we have a weakness that other teams have exploited before. Any time a team blocks out our guards from driving the lane, we are less effective. And if our guards don't adjust or fail to make their jumpers from 15' out to beyond the arc, then we lose. The Lakers simply took away our driving lanes last year and beat us four straight games. And Detroit is a much tougher defensive club than the Lakers IMHO.

Thirdly, if the club players come in with as much overconfidence as some on this site, then we could lose.

Fourth, all it takes is a few calls going the other way in close situations in the last quarter.

All that being said, I think we are the team to beat with our good first five and outstanding depth.

I just hope the Spurs win. But if the Spurs don't beat themselves then ain't nothing or no one beat them.

Timmy loses his mind and all of a sudden goes into hiding.

The Spurs are already in the Finals... Does the SPurs winning or not have an effect on how much money is made for himself????

[1Parker1]

The real question should be, What would Spurs fans do if they lose in the Finals??

[mavsfan1000]

Jump off the bandwagon.

I could probally go on if it were to the Pistons, but I dont know if I could handle losing to Snaq again... but I dont see the SPurs losing to either

[tlongII]

The Pistons or the Heat.

I was just being hypothetical and trying to un-jinx us with this thread!!!

Get ready to swallow a lot of pride for all of the trash I talked to my friends from the rockets and Mavericks.

then get ready for the cowboys.

I wonder after game 5. if some of you feel different now?

[Sense]

My goal is to see you predict..and be corrected..


Thanks again. Maybe Detroit will win now..

I was right about Mouse's predictions...

If TD does not play well.

Here are his stats when they won games 1,2 and 5 and when they lost games 3 and 4:

Games won Games lost
Minutes 42.0 38.5
FG pct. 46.4% 31.3%
Rebounds 15.7 13.0
Points 22.7 15.0


Huge difference.

[T Park]

jim its more than that.

Look at Ginobili and Horry's numbers.

[CosmicCowboy]

[CosmicCowboy]

yeah, I know Violet didn't make the finals cut...

[Jimcs50]

jim its more than that.

Look at Ginobili and Horry's numbers.

Yeah, but they are not the focal point of Detroit's defense like TD is.

If they fail to contain TD, they are not doing what they want to do, hence, they have better chance to lose.
