Spurs are one of the top 4 teams I hate in the NBA

yea i dont know why even I hate them? LOL


Just somethign about them i dont like....same with Utah Jazz

[benreyhani15]

ya i hated them before too for no reason

[PersianMadrid7]

Duncan is the reason why I hate the Spurs.

He started playing basketball at Age 13 and used the backboard 90% of the time.


I hope LeBron takes it for the Cavs, even though I doubt it.

I am a Laker fan so I hate the Spurs but I say San Antonio in 6 over Cleveland, and here are a few reasons why.
First of all San Antonio is the more experienced team and since Duncan got drafted he won 3 championships with this team. The only player to get more rings in the same time period is Shaq daddy with 4, but Duncan can match him this year.
San Antonio has a better defense than Detroit or any other team for that matter. They stuffed the high octane Phoenix Suns offense which it seems like no team had an answer for.
I would like to add thatl San Antonio has better role players. Basically the Cavs are depending on LeBron James but the Spurs also have Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli. Who do the Cavs have besides LeBron, Ilgulskasis(sp?) or that Side Jo Bob look alike? Also, Bruce Bowen and Robert "hip check" Horry are going to do the dirty work for the Spurs. Horry won 2 championships with the Rockers, 3 with the Lakers, and I think 1 with the Spurs. I believe he was there when the Suprs won in 2005 against Detroit. So even their veterans have the experience of being there in the NBA finals.
Finally I think LeBron is going to make this a series but the way I see it going down is the Spurs are going to win their first two at home. The Spurs wil win at least 1 out of 3 in Cleveland, and close this series in 6 games. I have a lot of respect for LeBron and his game but the Cavs role players vs the Spurs role players are going to be the difference in thsi series. SA just has too many weapons.

The X factor is coaching because SA has Greg Popovich who is a 3 time NBA champion, and is currently the 2nd most winning NBA finals coach next to Phil Jackson with 9. The experience of coaching in the NBA finals vs the coach of Cleveland (forget his name) first time, is going to be important. Remember last year Dallas had the better team and a great young coach, but Pat Riley was there before with the Lakers and he was able to use his experience to his advantage. When Miami was down 2-0 in the series and down 17 points in game 3, Riley didn't get nervous. Instead he collected the team and the Heat won the next 4 games to close the series in 6.

cavaliers in 6

[palestine2003]

its all about the spurs!!

[Aryaan21]

but I wouldnt count the Cavs but if I had to choose, Spurs. I mean Ginobli vs. Snow, Duncan vs. ZydranusdnbfbfhgbhaSf IlgdbhS=uskSAS, and Bowen can probably contain James. so I say Spurs in 5. the game when the Cavs win Bron will have like 45.

[Arian]

Bowen can probably contain James..

please tell me that's a joke

[Aryaan21]

please tell me that's a joke

By contain, I mean 25-30, instead of 40-50

[shayan_esteghlali]

tim dunkin and manu ginobli combined= spurs champions

i dont understand why manu ginobli is the 6th man he should start i remeber in i think 2004 where manu ginobli won both the NBA finals with the spurs and the olympics with argentina.

by the way wasnt the a iranian guy that was going into the NBA???

[MoJo23]

My Pistons

But i have to give it to Lebron! He took over big time!

Finals:
Spurs in 7!
