No I didn't switch to Geico.
The Spurs are still the best team in the West and cakewalk to the Finals...
Hopefully Atlanta won't be there, the Spurs could be in trouble.

lol
see thats the post Sequ needs to bring.
Funny, but realistic.
Dallas has about the same record as the spurs so I wouldn't say the spurs are clearly the favorites.
PUT 'EM UP!!!!!! PUT THAT NUMBER FOUR UP I SAiD!!!!!!
7 game series, 100% healthy, Spurs sweep.
You're right.
Before the season, analyst have said that SA was the clear favourite to win the West and that Detroit will have to fight with Pacers and Miami.
Two month later :
- Pacers and Heat are disapointing and Detroit is alone in the East.
- Mavs, Suns (it looks like amare will be back before the ASG) and even Memphis arereal opponents for Spurs.
Why do you keep saying this. Am I missing the joke?
how are the defending champions not the favorites in the West? they would be the favorites if they were .500 right now.
yea right. We were defending champs last year, and we were underdogs to the Heat and Pacers before we ever stepped foot on the court according to the media. Same exact thing happend this year despite our East dominance. Though everyone's on the bandwagon now.

PUT THEM UP I SAID!
No. I mean that they are not the clear favorites unlike Detroit in the east. Dallas is almost at their level and at times better than them.
there was a little more uncertainty as far as the pistons were concerned last year. they had a slow start, all the larry brown drama, and shaq had just moved to the east. everyone underestimated the pistons and they fed off of it. until the mavs beat the spurs in the playoffs i don't see how anyone could say they are at the spurs level or "sometimes above", especially after allowing kobe to score 62 in 3 quarters.
The mavs have won like 9 of the last 11 games. They don't match up well to the lakers but beat everyone else. I believe they have a better record in the last 10 games than the spurs. I think this is the year the mavs beat the spurs.
and the mavs were lucky to beat the kings when webber went down
its just the way injuries happen
Exactly. Before the season started I kept reading articles saying that Detroit could not get back to the finals unless Miami, Indiana, and New Jersey all had serious injuries. Now that the Pistons are off to a hot start, the media is riding their jock and keep talking about 70 wins (which won't happen). It makes me sick.
Well then wtf is your point?
btw, what are teams supposed to do when the star of another team goes down, just forfeit?
Wrong. Dallas played BETTER after _irk went down.
That is bull . Dirk going down signaled the end of the mavs chance of beating the spurs no matter who stepped up.
Delusion is thy name.The mavs have won like 9 of the last 11 games. They don't match up well to the lakers but beat everyone else. I believe they have a better record in the last 10

They were 1-1 against the Spurs without Irk.Dirk going down signaled the end of the mavs chance of beating the spurs no matter who stepped up
1-2 with.
The Spurs beat them pretty good in three straight games WITH Dirk.
They barely beat them in game 6.
Good lord.....
So what X Factor is saying, is that every le the Spurs have won has been by luck or just bull .
They didnt deserve it in 2003 bc Nowitzki got hurt, so if he played, Dallas would have won. Uh, what? How the do u know what Dallas would have done? Injuries happen to everyone.
I havent really seen anything about the 1999 season, but I'll bet X Factor will claim the Spurs didnt deserve that bc there were only 50 reg season games. So if there were 82, then somebody else would've won it.
And for last year, Im sure the Spurs won bc Horry got a lucky 3 pointer that 9 times out of 10 never would've gone in, and game 7 was a fluke.
How can a person have so much disrespect for a team who has won 3 les in 7 years? At least contribute to this board with meaningful banter. How does ting on the Spurs help develop and advance this message board?
Well then, if we're dealing with BULL , alirght! Let's go ahead and STRIP the Pistons of their 2004 le. If not that, we might as well put an enormous astrik before 2004 Champions. We might as well state that the .04 FIASCO allowed the Pistons to end the West's reign of superiority. I believe the Pistons also beat a depleated Lakers squad. Why do I bother? The funny thing about this arguement is not the fact that the Pistons beat a depleated Lakers squad in 04, but the fact that a less than healthy Spurs squad beat a heathly Pistons squad. Please, tell me of another player who overcame one NASTY ankle injury 2 months from the beginning of the Playoffs. I remind you, history has shown that the Spurs show significant improvements during the above mentioned period. Add another injury, to the other ankle. Let's not forget, the previous ankle injury had yet to heal. A player, preforming at such a level, with two sub-par ankles, is still able to win Finals MVP. That's amazing. Please, let me know of another player to do such a thing. There should be an astrik placed by the Spurs 2005 Champions.....*Injured Duncan prevails to win 3rd Finals MVP. Not his 1st, nor 2nd, but 3rd. Who on the Pistons roster can claim such applause? Yeah, go ahead and put that astrik up.
* The rings given to the 2004 Champions shall be engraved with the following
Who's your Daddy? BIG SHOT BOB
I'm sick of that see the rings way. The pistons are a better team now. The spurs are really good but the Pistons have been unbelievable. Best starting 5 plus now they have a bench. I'm saying the Pistons are the best team this year.
