Spurs: Championship Favorites?

[dbreiden83080]

The key words are "2 years ago"

Your team plays the same way as it did 2 years ago and the result will not be much different.

I think the Spurs have also been better since 2 years ago. So its pretty much the same.

Can't wait for Game 1.

Bill Simmons just gave us the kiss of death....

"There isn't a happier team than the Spurs right now. Not only are they peaking at the perfect time, but Dallas was the one contender that matched up perfectly against them. Now they get the Suns (as much as I love watching the Suns, the Spurs are a terrible matchup for them), then the winner of Houston/Utah-Golden State, then whatever flawed team comes out of the East. Are you kidding me? During Thursday night's game, TNT should have had cameras at Tim Duncan's house, like how CBS has cameras at various colleges during the NCAA Tournament selection show. We needed to see the Spurs celebrating and pouring champagne on one another. Might as well start early. For all intents and purposes, you can put a fork in the 2007 NBA playoffs."

Lol ok. Here's a bet. If the Spurs win the series, I become the new forum moderator.

I said GS was the favorite to win the series, and won the series 4-2. That wasn't just talking out of my ass. I also made a bet on that series therefore monosy1abk had to go fishing until after the playoffs.

The Spurs are the favorites to win the championship.

Let's hope Utah doesn't let me down tomorrow night, I've been saying Houston is a fluke all season long...

I don't think you understand basic discussion. I didn't say I thought the Spurs wouldn't win the series. I said the Spurs are not the favorite to win the series.

The Warriors were not the favorite to win the series vs. the Mavericks. They won the series as the underdog.

^^^
So the Suns are now as big a favorite in the Western Conference as the Pistons are in the East...fascinating.

[LEONARD]

They aren't even the favorite in the series against Phoenix.

Kori...SD has said all along that GS was the favorite in the Dallas series too. He's just spewing...

LOL...STFU...you've been doing a bit with the "favorite" thing...

and YOU picked Dallas to win before the series started you flip-flopping ...

Eat ...

I honestly believe GS is the better team when its Dallas v. GS (GS is 6-1 over the last 2 seasons vs Dallas), but not the better team overall vs the rest of the league. Dallas will simply get more calls in the favor. That's just the way it goes. That's why Dallas will win in 6 or 7 games, if they meet.

My prediction is that Dallas will get a couple of calls to go their way though, and win the series.

it's a lot easier to be right when you pick every possible outcome...

All you have to do is go to Yahoo groups and create a new new group there and you can be the moderator all you want....It is free to do this.

Which i don't get at all. Given the Spurs experience and success against the Suns. They just beat a better team in 5 games than the Suns beat in 5 games. Maybe it is just the Home Court advantage people are looking at but not only did the Spurs take the Suns out in 5 games, 2 years ago but the Suns lost all 3 home games they played in that series.

You don't think anything could've changed in the matchup between these two teams in the intervening two years?
