cleveland matchup much harder than detroit
With Detroit and Cleveland playing the way they are right now, I don't see either of them giving the Spurs a big scare in the finals. WTF is going on here?

cleveland matchup much harder than detroit
They are both going to be tough. That's the ironic thing about the playoffs. A team can look absolutely ty for most of the game and then look amazing for a strech and come back and win. Same could be said for a series. They are both good defensive teams, that's why the series is ugly. Kind of like the Finals in '05.
I don't care at this point.
I'm just thrilled the Spurs are there.
Bring it. Whoever it is.
Both teams can defend us better than any team we've faced in these playoffs, and the James matchup could be a real killer for us.
horry can give that james boy a hockey check
That didn't work against Cleveland this game.
bowen will slow james done atleast 2 of the 5 games
spurs can afford to let james go and stop everyone else
gibson will be shot down by tp
james chokes another free throw
1:52 CLE - L. James missed the second free throw
1:52 CLE - L. James missed the first free throw
1:52 DET - Shooting foul on R. Wallace
1:54 CLE - L. James steals the ball from C. Billups
No, they would need to shut down Lebron and force his teammates to make shots. That seems to be tough for them.
If the cavs make it out "King James" will make Dwyane Wade's 2006 free throw performance look like Steve Smith 2003.
Yeeesh..
I think we're pretty much ed if we wind up playing Cleveland.
Horry likely won't do anything because he likely won't be on the floor.
Seriously, Cleveland is scaring me more and more. I mean as a team they still suck imo, but "King James" is the most unstoppable player the spurs will ever face in the playoffs since Shaq.
Especially since we have no one that can guard him.
Anyone that thinks Bruce can guard LeBron hasn't been watching their matchups.
That is a complete and total physical mismatch.
We're going to end up trying to guard him with Finley...
It'll be then that Findog either earns his Spurs...or doesn't.
I think Pop should take the Phil Jackson approach and just pack the lane with all five guys, very tight zone D. Never ever let Lebron go 1on1 for a single possession. lol.
If the Spurs are as good as they appear to be, they will beat anyone. They can play team defense better than anyone in the league.
Zone D against the Cavs would be ideal. They don't have consistent jumpshooters. Plus, like you said, we'd pack the lane and make Lebron go 1 on 1. Pop's a little stubborn when it comes to zone D, though.
I don't want to play Cleveland... it's going to be the LeBron free throw parade. Plus he owns Bowen.
*snip*
They aren't as good as they appear to be. And they have a structural weakness which happens to be a catastrophic mismatch with Clevelands structural strength.
The Pistons match up with the Cavs a of a lot better than we do...do they look like they are having fun?
Also, the Cavs are filled with ex-Spurs personnel that know all our plays.
Banzi Wells...on steroids, with passing.
I'd love to watch a Vaughn vs Snow shootout![]()
It'd be nice to have Sasha Pavlovic on any team we play.
