premature thread
okay, i was thinking today that NO ONE in the West can beat the Spurs in a 7 game series. Not the Mavericks, Suns, or Lakers. Mavericks got rid of the 2 guys that beat the Spurs seemingly single handedly. The Suns are just out of whack. And Lakers are too young and too soft (except Bryant and Fisher).
So, The Spurs definetely going to the Finals, but i believe that the Pistons and the Celtics are no doubt the 2 toughest teams the Spurs can face.
The Pistons have always given the Spurs tough games, and the Celtics played the Spurs sooo good about 3 weeks ago it was scary. The Spurs looked lost out there. I think just cause the Spurs make it to the Finals its definitely not a lock for the championship, i actually believe that if they go and face the Celtics theres a REALLY good chance they would lose.....
I love the Spurs but i call it like i see it....

It's going to be a of a trip getting there so enjoy the ride. Only have a few left before the Duncan era comes to an end. I wouldn't count anyone out, but I like our chances to repeat better than anyone else, so I will take it.
never lost in final.. do not expect Spurs to lose in finals.
The Lakers are stacked. Who woudn't be scared of this roster. Yikes!

Way premature. It has always seemed like the Spurs can't lose in the playoffs in repeat years-that's how it is when you win a championship the year before. All I know is the West is stacked this year and it's going to be pretty difficult to make it out.
Spurs are pretty deep as well
The Spurs track record speaks for itself.
Four Finals appearances. Four Championships.
I like our chances of getting there this season and once we're there I love our chances of bringing it home for the fifth time.
Yeah, Spurs are on a tear right now. I think any of the top 5 right now in the West could end up as Champs. Screw Boston they are pretenders. I say the Pistons come out of the East.
yeah.
i think the celtics are in the exact same boat as the lakers.
they can be good, just not this year.
maybe next year, or the year before.
i mean, they are good, but they can be a real le contender then.
Yeah, the Lakers are stacked, but the experts and Spurs fans know that it's not how you look on paper that gets you the ring, it's how well you play as a team. The Spurs are constructed with smart, savvy, cohesive parts, and it's that sheer experience playing together as a team that gives them the edge in seven game series. The one team I see as potentially giving the Spurs trouble is the Pistons for the same reason.
Lakers are deadly, but in my eyes only them and the Celtics are going to be able to beat the Spurs.
I agree, I think the Celtics have already peaked. All the other teams are getting better (except PHX). Lakers, Pistons, Rockets (b4 that injury), and Spurs are all in the hunt. Don't see it in the Mavs, they just don't look as strong anymore. But everyone keeps saying the Lakers are young. Their young players players come off the bench. Odom, Gasol, and Fischeraren't young. And you gotta remember... Kobe is a KILLER! He should be doing multiple life sentences right now. To think they aren't a legitimate threat would be homerish-ish!
He's not a "killer"; he just likes sodomizing the help.
You have your LA resident professional sports unpunished criminal superstars mixed up.
You know I meant killer on the court, just like you know that chick wanted anal
+1 NFW the Celtics get by the Pistons...
All I know is, the Eastern champion will be licking their chops because they know the Western champion had to go through to get to the Finals.
Where ... miracles happens .. you know NBA and their star treatment could made some miracles, but IMHO only DET and Boston could keep the right intesity to win a 7 games series against us.
LAL, who knows.... but Stern is feeling great about LAL-BOSTON rematch ...
Stern's gonna cry...Spurs and Pistons in the Finals...BOOK IT!!!Where ... miracles happens .. you know NBA and their star treatment could made some miracles, but IMHO only DET and Boston could keep the right intesity to win a 7 games series against us.

they are a handful but far from unbeatable
Im not saying the NBA is fixed but Id be a damned liar if I said I wasnt going to watch how the games are called for the Lakers/Celtics closely.Stern's gonna cry...Spurs and Pistons in the Finals...BOOK IT!!!
The spurs that lost to Boston isn't the Championship spurs we have known and loved. So don't worry about Boston, although they're having a great season , the same won't happen in the playoffs.
As premature as it might be, I too feel the Spurs chance of repeating is better than any team's this season.
Don't forget that Parker was out for that game. If he had played, the outcome would probably have been different. I guess we'll find out on St. Patrick's Day...
