Seriously, who do you wanna play outa the East?

[sa_butta]

I really dont care who we play, I just want to beat the Jazz.
I want the best team out of the east, that is all.

[41times]

i would say Boston........

Seriously, I hoped that the Heat would have made it. It would have been nice to dispatch the NBA Champion on the way to a le... again.

But since that is not an option:

Pistons: Not the same team as in 2005. Not even close. Those expecting a repeat of the 2005 Finals will be disappointed. I suspect the Spurs could close out the Pistons in 5 (as long as Spurs didn't play down to their level).

Cavs: This would be the better series, I think. They're a good team (they could easily be 3-0 against Detroit right now).

In the end, we'll play who we play. And win.

Cavs are toast. It will be 3-1 after tonight. This has been an ugly series and I really haven't been impressed with either team.

Who would ever have thought back in September that it would be a Spurs/Pistons rematch in the finals?

and before I get smacked for assuming that the Spurs are coming out of the west, who REALLY thinks Utah is gonna win three straight games with two at the SBC?

Not me. I'll pull a SAS and say this series is OVER.

(and who the cares what a bunch of geeks on their computers think anyway? All these rituals and supers ions... are we living in the dark ages or something? It makes NO difference to the Spurs what you do. Winning or losing is all on them, not us.)

[ducks]

I'd like to play the Cavs because it'd be fun putting 'Bron in his place, but we'll be playing Detroit (after we get through with Utah).

my only fear with playing james is he gets away with everything
spurs would own the cavs
they would let james get his and shut down everyone else
then we would hear how great he is

[Magic_Johnson]

detroit
the cavs are not good enough
they're here because they were lucky to play the wizards and the nets

[ObiwanGinobili]

I really do want to play DET agian. I readily admit being stuck in 2005. It was fun, I wanst a repeat.

[easjer]

Frankly, given the season record, I don't want to face any team that pushed it's way back from a 2-0 deficit and won without homecourt against the Pistons.

Detriot, all the way.

Plus, then, if we make it there, and we beat them, I can shut the new guy up. He thinks he's a Pistons fan, and keeps telling me that the Spurs are a dirty team.

I hate loudmouthed basketball newbies.

[Testing]

Spurs dont match up with Cavs? They have no one who can defend Parker and Ginobili, even Duncan to an extent.

[Budkin]

Mavs.

If we make it to the Finals, I do not care as long as we play the toughest possible team (which I'm thinking is Detroit).
