Guys, it's very likely that the Spurs can get back into the finals. Doesn't everyone remember? It's an odd year!! That means duncan, ginoboli, and parker will have an additional boost. :P

 

But in all seriousness, don't count out the spurs. They are tough and they got the greatest powerforwad in the game and a great coach. Remember several years ago when everyone was raving about the 67 win Mavericks and the ~63 win Suns. Who came out and won it all? I think that would be the spurs?

My point exactly.  This same team has been together for almost 10 years, don't forget.  They have chemistry out the wazoo.  Don't count them out because they don't have Kobe Bryant, because they have arguably the greatest PF of all time, an All-Star SG and PG, and a highly underrated supporting cast.

Oh, and by the way, Orlando is in second place now.  Not bad for a team flying under the radar, eh?

I agree that Los Angeles is overrated, but I think you are overrating the Spurs.

 

I think L.A. will come out of the West to meet us in the Finals, but I'd love to see the Spurs. The Lakers are far more dangerous.

 

In '07 we had an injured Hughes to guard Parker and Drew Gooden to guard Tim Duncan.

 

Now we have Delonte West and Ben Wallace.

The Spurs overrated thing has to be put to rest. They have 4 ships the past decade- thats not exactly overrating them.  

I would love to see us against the spurs in the final. Maybe we could return the favor of a sweeping to them this time around.

the chance of the rematch of the cavs and the spurs in the finals is highly doubtful in my eyes. there are a few reasons the spurs are becoming a much older team loosing to mid level teams and the bench that consists of many low key under achievers. there two bigggest players parker and duncan are riding on the line of not even averaging 20 so no the chance of them replaying the cavs is doubtful but we will see tonight when the magic are in there house.

look for the Spurs to handle their business--They wont allow the magic to hoist uncontested 3's.

For some reason I don't feel like the Fakers are going to make it out of the West.They're just not tough enough and their defense isn't all that great either.They're a finesse team and don't do the dirty work.They're bigs are too soft.The Fakers are just a bunch of overrated LOSERS in my eyes.Unless they improve their crappy defense there is no way they make it out of the West.I guess they don't know that DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS.I think Kobe knows it,but I don't know about the rest of those fools.

As far as the Spurs go i'm not too sure if they'll make the finals,but it's very likely.Right now their flying under the radar and everybody has seemed to forget about them.We must not forget they have won every odd year since I think 2003.I'm not too sure because I never cared for the Spurs.Anyways back to the point.I won't be surprised if the Spurs are the team that come out of the West.Besides hit wouldn't be too bad if we could get revenge on the Spurs in the Finals after what they did to us back in 2007.I'm actually kind of hoping for a Cavs vs. Spurs Finals match-up so we can redeem ourselves.

well the last few meetings with the lakers....the cavs won... but with the spurs its different...they know how to contest lbj, and without lbj, the cavs dont really stand a chance at the spurs.

thas what i think.

That's because LBJ was the only player they had to guard in that series.Now we have Mo Will and delonte to make plays and big shots,Varejao can finally play some offense,and we have Ben Wallace for some interior D and offensive rebounding along with Z.

We have options now so trapping Lebron won't guarantee success anymore...
