John Salley Says Spurs Will Win the Championship

[Sean Cagney]

I think I was the only person on Sprusreport (no spurstalk back then) who thought LA was going to take that series. Of course I figured it would be in 7 and not 4.

I was talking to someone outside I remember at a party the night before the series and he said that is going to be a good ass series there, most thought that would be a good series. I thought the Spurs could pull it off too being the delusional person I was back then but after game 2 I knew there was no shot the Spurs were going to win a game in that series. They were up 37-22 at home at one point in game two and it slowly slipped away, after the third Q I knew that series was done. Games 3 and 4 were a nightmare, don't even remember watching either one for more than a few minutes and leaving the house to go do other things.

I thought DA was a terrible fit, every other guard in the league went off of him that year. DA is one of the worst defenders I have ever seen. I remember Kobe averaged 38 a game on him that year.

Anderson was 2-1 against Kobe with a net plus, so counting points doesn't seem terribly relevant.
