cavs suck
Lots of people (but not all) are acting like this is in the bag. But it's not. I don't like seeing people congratulating Finley on finally winning a championship, or talking about the Spurs "dynasty," or calling scoreboard on all the Spurs detractors.
The Spurs have made it to another NBA Finals. Great. But it doesn't mean a thing without a ring.
Mavs fans made the same mistake last year, and they paid the price. Either the Cavs or the Pistons are very capable of defeating the Spurs in seven, even without home court, and we as fans need to afford them the appropriate amount of respect.
This is not '99 when the Spurs dominated the whole league during the regular season and annihilated multiple awesome teams in the Western Conference playoffs. We have been the beneficiaries of an incredible amount of luck, but that's the thing about good fortune; unlike true skill, it can dry up at any time. Just ask the Mavs.
I don't honestly think that the fans affect the way the Spurs play, but seriously, we're building up a LOT of negative karma tempting fate like this. So please, remain guarded in what you say and don't crown the Spurs champs before they're due.

Yup. LBJ's taking his game to a new level, as the cliche goes.
It will be very tough to beat either the Pistons or the Cavs, nothing is a given.
Mavs fans.
Yeah, LeBron looked REALLY ty tonight when he dropped 48 on one of the best defensive teams in the league.
And unfortunately, they don't hand out rings to the team with the better coach. Flip might not be as good of a coach as Pop, but neither is A.J. And don't forget, the core of this Pistons team took a better Spurs team to 7 two years ago, tied at the end of three. That team is hungry for payback against the Spurs, and don't think they won't elevate their game if they make it to the Finals.
Beating the Jazz was just another step. The biggest challenge of the entire season is still to come....
A. McDyess would have made a differnce
flip is so stupid not doubling james and trying to cover him with their old has been point guard
suns>cavs or old has been pistons and their overrated point guard
LeBron is awesome, no doubt...but the Cavs as a team are vastly inferior to the Spurs.
It wouldn't even be close...but it's a moot point...Pistons will beat the Cavs in 7.
TIM DUNCAN 3 Times Finals MVP
Enuff said
Timmy is going to will us to another ring... he will not be denied.
This season has just begun.
I don't see the Cavs or Pistons beating the Spurs unless the NBA fixes it.
This board is going to be inSANE in the next couple of weeks.
This is like the calm before a very big storm.
Yes, and Mavs>Warriors.
It's not just about the total amount of skill on a particular team. It's about matchups. That's why they play the games.
The Spurs matchup great against the Suns. On the other hand, both the Pistons and the Cavs matchup up great against us.
Spurs in five is silly. The refs by themselves will give the LeBrons more than one win.
I'd say Spurs in six against the Cavs, in seven against the Pistons, and I'm more scared of either of those teams than I was of the Suns.
i think we should be fine as long as we win or keep the boards close vs clev or detroit. Utah was a good test of that, hopefully we keep it up.
I'm glad. If Lebron does meet us. This will be a VERY interesting FINALS, hardly a cakewalk, New Jersey Nets Leastern Conference challenge, and hardly a game of minds like that of the 05' series.
Lebrons game just changed the fan at ude of our Spurs season overnight...
If the Pistons lay down on Saturday....woo crazy stuff.
i'm pretty sure you said this when we played denver....no?
i can't wait to get the spurs 07 championship dvd!
"one of the best defensive teams in the league."
.... that didn't play defense, while Tayshaun, Rip, Rasheed shot 15 of 44, 34%. Horrible for a pivotal Game5 at home.
ty game from the Pistons, and it still took a miraculous effort from James to win by 2 pts in double OT.
While I no longer live in S.A, my peeps tell me that folks were partying downtown, honking horns and filling the streets with revelry as though we'd just won the NBA le.
I too wish folks would keep it in perspective. After all, these premature celebrations will look awfully foolish if the Spurs lay an egg in the next round.
Act like you've been there before - because quite frankly, we have.
Bowen will earn his pay this June. He had problems with Deron Williams, LeBron James should be a bloodbath.
But I doubt that one player can beat the Spurs.
Kobe Bryant, BTW, should be taking notes when he watches LeBron play. And even more notes when he sees LeBron off the court. But it is unlikely that someone like Bryant can learn from anyone, much less someone he views as a 22 year old kid. The silver lining -- it's great that he and the Lakers are saddled with each other.
My prediction?
Congrats Fin-dawg on the much deserved ring.
Incredible luck? With what exactly? I fail to see how Nash's nosebleed, the Phoenix ejections or Derons foot qualify as major strokes of luck. It's like saying the Spurs wouldn't have won any of those games without those events happening. That simply isn't true.
This is in the bag, bank on it. The only caveat would be an injury to one of the big three, in which case anything goes.

I agree with this but everything else you write is kind of bizarre! Exactly who do you speak of when you say "I wish people would stop acting like we've won already!"
I'll hold my comments until the East is decided. Let Findog's back heal up for the drive to the fourth.
Goit!!!
conqueso!!!!
thats the right there.
