Spurs, the humble champions

[team-work]

As a foreign fan of Spurs, I think there are many people like me anxiously waiting for the NBA Finals. I expect the Spurs to win in 6 games (I may not bet on the vBookie again as I'm never accurate in predicting the exact results of each series, though I predicted correctly that the Spurs won each time.) Both teams are good, but the Spurs stand out in that the have a better bench (Detroit has Darko Milic who is as sparsely used as Paul Shirley in the Suns!)

If the Celtics had drafted TD, Paul Pierce would be an All Star every year. He'd be one of the top 3 players in the league if he didn't have to carry the offense every night and had TD to play with him.

But whether they would have won championships by now - not sure. Celtics missed out on Tony Parker, when they could have grabbed him, and Duncan might not have won in 1999 and 2003 going against a healthy Shaq without Robinson to back him up.

What if...again.

Had Boston drafted TD in 1997 would they have had the #10 pick in 1998? Would they have been better and as a result had drafted lower in the first round?

TOO MANY WHAT IFS!!
