    Claiming the Heat and Pistons dominate the NBA is like claiming the Mavs are a dynasty...

    PLEASE, please ignore any and all hype of the Mavs and Suns. That's your first mistake.

    Your second mistake is not ignoring the Hype on Lebron. Yes, he's a great player. Yes, the Cavs are the best team in the East.

    But until the Cavs win a Championship, of course the Spurs are going to get the credit. Relish it. Enjoy being the underdog. It's worked for the Spurs (against the forementioned Lakers, Suns and Mavs), for years now.

    Didn't say that! Don't put words in my mouth! Though.......Detroit and Miami have les to show for.........but they're FAR from dynasty's. You need to reread the thread and find facts that debate my arguments intelligent one

    Guess what? Miami DID win it last season so you are talking out of your ass right now. What the are you talking about Miami shouldn't have won it? They DID win it!!!

    Do you know how stupid you sound? What if I just said "Oh, San Antonio in 2005...they shouldn't have won it, everybody knows it, they're a fraud." You would be pissed! And deep down, you know you are right and I am wrong! Just like right now you are wrong and I am right! Miami won it last season, give the East some credit, and let's play the games and the better team will be decided [B]on the court.[/B]
    Do you know how stupid you sound in every one of your posts. Why dont you go back to watching ESPN News to catch up with the rest of the people that have watched basketball longer than the last 2 weeks.
    You are by far the worst new poster here, and you should just shut the up

    I'd say the Western Conference (except for the Spurs, of course) ARE hype.

    The Mavs lost to the Heat. The Kobe, Shaq and Payton Lakers lost to the no-star Pistons.

    Neither the Heat nor the Pistons could repeat. Now the Pistons (a very good team, which gave the Spurs their biggest Finals fight), are done.

    So, yes, until the Mavs or Sun prove themselves, the West in general is hype.

    The Spurs are not.
    Thank YOU!!!!!!! That's all I'm saying.....

    Miami was also 2nd in own FG% and 8th or so in opponents' FG% in 2005-06, both better than the Mavs IIRC. Perhaps I'm missing something but I don't see a single EC team that was top 10 in both categories this season.

    What, praytell, is your argument?

    You've said that the West is hype, other than the Spurs and Lakers. The implication would seem to be that East teams are actually better than West teams, save the Spurs and Lakers, who aren't hype. You've been reminded that the Cavaliers are going to play the Spurs in the Finals starting in a few hours. I'm not sure what difference it makes that the Western Conference is all hype if one of the teams that you yourself exempt from that characterization is going to play your team in the Finals.

    But, as usual, I shouldn't be surprised to discover that you don't really have a point.

    read my second post. After thinking about it, I actually agree with you...

    Actually, ALL teams in basketball are Hype right now, Except the Spurs.

    I actually hope the Cavs pick up a decent second scorer, so we can get some good 'ol Western/Eastern rivalries again. I think one thing that keeps the Spurs from being more popular is the fact there is no Eastern rivalry. Many hoped the Pistons would provide that, but that's not going to happen.

    Instead of lecturing us about the FACT that the eastern conference indeed plays games in the NBA, just accept the FACT that Spurs teams are not as good in November and January as they are in May and June.

    All this talk about the Western Conference being stronger then the Eastern conference is a BIG PHAT JOKE! NBA fans and experts are hugh hypocrits! One minute they wanna claim that the POSTSEASON is different then the REGULAR SEASON and the next minute they want to compare the two. For example, everyone keeps talking bout how the West is stronger because their teams have better records (WHICH IS A REGULAR SEASON), but NO ONE talks about how the Eastern Conference is 2 and 1 against the Western conference the last 3 years. Everyone wants to bring up the Spurs, Dallas, Phoenix, and on and on BUT only ONE of those teams have won a le in the last ten years. Outside of L.A. (With Shaq who no longer plays in the West) and the Spurs, no one else has done SQUAT in the last 10 YEARS!!!!! The Lakers also beat some WEAK teams themselves in the finals (Pacers, Nets, and Philly), but NO ONE brings that up!!!
    I think the point of that contention is that since Jordan left the Bulls, only two teams from the East have one the finals. The '04 Pistons beat a banged up Lakers team with chemistry problems, and the '06 Heat won thanks to a massive choke job by the Mavs.

    In that entire span, there was only one 7 game series, and we all know that one.

    So yes, the western conference has proven superior to the east since Jordan retired. You yourself said a lot of that had to do with WEAK teams, yet those weak teams WON THE EASTERN CONFERENCE.

    You contradict yourself.

    And as others have said, didn't you say you weren't going to post anymore

    It seems like every year the Spurs end up playing someone who beat them 3 out of 4 times (with a couple of those wins early in the season) or some such in the regular season and the Spurs end up winning that series in 5.

    You'd think NBA fans would recognize that the Spurs are a perennial slow starting team. Part of that is by design, but I digress. It wasn't too long ago that the Spurs looked like they would be bounced out of the postseason in the 2nd round, or perhaps even the 1st. Yet again, Rasputin won't die.

    Even though the 3rd, 4th, and 5th seeds had more wins than the east 2nd seed? Because there was a team under 500 that made the playoffs? Or there were two teames at 500 while there were none in the West? You have nothing to say, points to make, and are just another dumb Cav fan

    I see no reason to bash the Cavs just because they come from the East.

    Would Cavs have beaten the Suns? Who knows? They could have.

    Bashing the Cavs to praise the Spurs is counterproductive, unless you want 2007 Championship Spurs to be the lamest Champion ever.

    It's funny watching Spurs fans defend teams like the Nuggets, Suns and Mavs.

    Come one Spurs fans, you know those teams are all hype.
