Spurs: Who faces the Spurs in the Finals ?

[JRHernandez88]

problem is not kawhi picking up the offensive slack, even if he did improve he is not the problem

the problem is the fake ass hero mvp aspirations team leader....dude will not pass the ball, u still remember that 10 straight stupid possessions after seeing duncan put up a monster game running away what looked like fmvp series, only t o see the jealous does what he does best, hero mode

hmmm this makes sense

Too early to call. The main Heat opponent isnt any one team, it is straight up fatigue/injuries and whether or not they will actually care enough to go all the way again.

Spurs have never made the finals two years in a row imho.

^^ Good point. The odds are against the Spurs this year, but if they stay healthy, which is applicable to all contenders, they have a chance.

The nerd ESPN formula has the Spurs at nearly 60% chance to win the le, the Heatles come in second with like 30%.

Duncan was out in '00 and Manu in '08 tbh. Never really had a shot those years, the other two years are two of the top three most painful shots in Spurs history.

Leonard vs. George

Tbh Spurs, Warriors, Clippers, Rockets & the Thunder could very well represent the West come June. So i wouldn't jump the gun just yet.

Clippers can't play defense, and can't run half court sets. Like Chuck said, they look good on paper, but they aren't.

I've watched the Warriors, and their gameplan is too simplistic. They hoist up 3pt. prayers off of screens, and hope for the best. When they do die by the 3, they turn to Lee, who usually does a good job, but against good defense, he isn't anything special.

Rockets are good, they won't sniff a WCF for another season or two (maybe).

Thunder looks like the only formidable foe, but even then, they're dismal at SG, and they have no playmaking going on.
Against a defense like the Spurs, without good ball movement, they're toast.

I don't see how this season won't end in a Spurs vs. Heat rematch.

Bulls.
