2007 The Year of Payback

[austinfan]

Manu will play like a possessed man this coming season. I predict that his quest for self-redemption will be the key element to the Spurs winning the championship next year. (fwiw, I believe we're going to win #4 and #5 back-to-back in the next two years.)

No, next year's goal is to win a Championship.

Nothing else will satisfy.

It's still going to be the big 3 in the west - Suns, Mavs, Spurs. If the Mavs beat the Suns they'll have two teams next year looking for payback. A tough challenge indeed. But if Amare comes back healthy and the Suns return to the form they had before KT went down they will be mighty tough to beat.

Mavs won't be so tough next year. Heard they might get rid of the free throw line.

Phoenix with a healthy Amare is WAY more scarier than the Mavs.

Anyway, as much as payback would be super sweet, we can't overlook the fact that the Mavs are just one out of 29 teams in our way for a championship. We need to focus on the big picture here.
