Stephen A. Smith picks the Spurs in 7.

[Skull-1]

Let's not forget that in 2007 this bag proclaimed as loudly as possible that there was ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

I was among those at Game Six in SA who booed him with unhinged fury.

So, if he is as right now as he was then....we are done.

There have been only 3 NBA finals game 7s since 1989. Going back to 1979 that number only increases by 2. That's a pretty small sample size. Besides enough teams have closed out on the road in earlier games to make your argument kind of silly. Looks at the Mavs in 2011.

A game 7 road win isn't that far fetched.

I have to disagree. If the Spurs win it will most likely be in 6 or less. Game 7 on the road is a tough game to win.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

All these guys are going to abandon ship once the Spurs lose game one.

The Spurs won game one.

[hater]

He had to take a deep collective breath and nearly puked mid-sentence, but SAS says he is going against his heart and picking the Spurs to win.

me and Stephen A got this

[Robz4000]

God damn, it's come down to this? Tomorrow night could result in something much harder to deal with then last night.

Guess I'll endure it if it means the Spurs win...

I hope after last night they redeem themselves and win that game! I don't want to have this bad of a week from a sport.

Is he still sticking with the Spurs now after game 6? I know he picked the Spurs in 7 before the series started and only because of Wades health. Does anyone know if he has come out after game 6 to stick to his original prediction?

[hater]

good question. I don't listed to his show. I'm gonna say he probably is but already sucking on Lebron's ?

[DMX7]

I picked Spurs in 7 too.

He said hes sinking with the ship, and his basis for spurs in 7 was because he felt that they would head back to Miami up 3-2 and not blow 2 chances at winning the championship.

good thinking. Very logical thinking. Too bad the nancys in this forum are too stupid to figure this out

[Harry Callahan]

Most people (of course) pick the cHeat to win. I guess that's logical. All I know is miami is very beatable and should have been on vacation 36 hours ago.

Spurs------Finish them!!!!!!

Lets do this for Stephen and Kobe!



This is how low we sank

Stephen Doesn't think the Spurs will win. He just "predicts" they will win because he doesn't want to switch his pick. At least to me that is what he seems to be saying.

so either way he will look smart....clever son of an amish.

so he wins either way. Sounds about right. But he wants the heat to win...really bad.

[ironman2886]

He is questioning how the spurs will perform physically. Stephen, skip, and Magic Johnson all agree though that Wade and Ginobili are the xfactors. How will Wade feel physically with both knees injured and very little rest? Will Ginobili bounce back and just not turn the ball over for Christ's sake? Magic Johnson said Manu should stop passing when he's in the air. Manu needs to redeem himself. That was the most pathetic game he has ever played.

haha. That's exactly what skip just said on spurstalk. But Stephen says he wouldn't do that if the heat win.

[chrhawk]

I like Stephen A., he is a charismatic dude. But if put him next to a calm, collected and rational basketball mind, he looks like nothing more than a hype man tbh.
