Something for Spurs fans to think about

[picnroll]

What do you want to bet?

First round picks in the draft.

If the Cavs make it to the Finals they will win it. Guaranteed.

I think this qualifies as the dumbest comment in history.........

First round picks in the draft.

Why don't you send me 2,000 USD and if the Spurs win I'll send you 4,000 USD back? Agreed?

I cannot believe the LeBron dynasty is beginning right now. He's what, 22? - with probably 10 - 12 years left. Is he going to eclipse MJ? I don't think so; not based on a single game. The Cavs will not win the championship this year. Their success thus far is the product of a criminally weak Eastern Conference (as Utah was the product of a criminal choke job by the Mavs). If McDyess doesn't get ejected, IMO, this isn't the same discussion anyway.

LeBron is an animal, and is gonna get his rings, but not THIS year, with THIS team. Tim Duncan is too good, the Spurs are playing too well to lose to that group, and that coach. Will there be matchup problems? Sure - but there seemingly always are, and other than Shaq/Kobe or Nowitski PLUS alot of other talent, has always overcome those.

Spurs in (at most) 6.

BTW: On the RealGM NBA discussion forum 58% of the posters DO think the Cavs could beat the Spurs. Of course the thread is Cavs vs. Spurs SANS DUNCAN. Even at that 42% of the impartial posters think the Spurs would take it.

Spurs last 3 games against the Cavs...all Spurs losses...

76 shot attempts in 3 games, ANYONE will score decent points with those numbers

[703 Spurz]

whottt is on point in this thread. If the Spurs get by Utah, they'll face their biggest challenge of the playoffs in the Finals -- whether Detroit or Cleveland wins.

Detroit is scary and every Spurs fan should know why. The Spurs were one Rasheed double team from being eliminated in six games last time the two teams met in the Finals. And even though they've lost Big Ben, they have a deeper bench and a ton of bigmen who can step in and bang with Tim.

I think out of the top six teams in the West, the one team the Cavaliers can conceivably beat is the Spurs. Bowen isn't a good matchup for LeBron and as whotttt noted, they know the Spurs inside and out. And as we saw with AJ last year, that's a huge advantage.

Believe me, Mike Brown and Danny Ferry would know exactly what adjustments would be made before, during and after games ... just like AJ did. And they'd know all the weaknesses the Spurs have.

They have the Spurs' corporate knowledge and will use it to their advantage.

With all that said, Spurs need to take care of business tomorrow.

So then if the Cavs are made up of former Spur people, what offense/defense do they run? How do we not know what they'll do?

[fuckespn]

if the cavs beat the pistons it will be a sweep similar to the houston-orlando finals

[cherylsteele]

Why don't you send me 2,000 USD and if the Spurs win I'll send you 4,000 USD back? Agreed?

You gonna rob a bank or something? You seem to have plenty of time on your hands so you must be unemployed.

[gilmor]

Why don't you send me 2,000 USD and if the Spurs win I'll send you 4,000 USD back? Agreed?

Let's put it this way.. if the spurs win and cavs lost.. then you won't post for a year.. if otherwise, I won't post for a year..

Sounds good?
