I think the Spurs might win it in 5. I'll be rooting for OKC but I just don't see a finals that isn't the Spurs vs Heat

It does make me glad that the last two teams to eliminate SA are alive, and that SA would most likely have to beat both for another ring. I'm rooting for OKC, Indiana, Nobody and Miami, in that order.

No Ibaka

I guess that's better than no Westbrook.

We had season tickets for the Clippers when they were in San Diego. I loved them and Lloyd "World Be" Free. And then they left for Los Angeles and I was all

Amen!

Cannot stand basketball. Cannot stand the Lakers because I believe them to have the biggest front running fan base of all time in any sport. And even though I can't stand the Lakers, I hate the Clippers even more because Donald Sterling lied to San Diego, and then he shit on the city and blamed the fans for lack of support. Everyone knew he was going to move the team to LA, and he lied and said it was about the fans. Nevermind that in the same building the San Diego Sockers were selling out games. Sterling put no effort into putting a good team on the court, and pretty much still doesn't. The team accidentally got good after drafting early every year forever, and having Chris Paul dumped in their lap. Fuck Sterling even before all of this latest nonsense, fuck him even more now.

Remember when Larry Himmel called him out? The song is lame, but he nailed it.

I think it should be Heat vs Spurs. Even after Miami laid an egg yesterday.

I think OKC lost alot when they lost Ibaka. He's their 3rd wheel!

The Spurs are a machne.

That said I think both series will go 6 games.

The Ibaka loss really hurts OKC but I don't think it kills them. They've got a pretty good record vs SA over the last year or so. Adams is really emerging. But I agree about the Spurs being a machine. When I watch them play I have a hard time believing anyone beats them because they are so polished and precise. But they do lose games and they do lose series' sometimes to teams that have superior athletes. I think it will be a fun series.

[sandiego17]

Hope you're wrong on both counts, but I think you're right in regards to the finals matchup. Will be interesting to see how OKC deals with the loss, they're definitely still the more athletic team.

Death, Taxes, and the Spurs advance.

Go Pacers!

Stephenson just taking over. Playing like he has nothing to lose.

Wow. OKC doesn't stand a chance and a lot of it has to do with coaching

[Coachmarkos]

The Spurs are awesome... have you guys seen that youtube video that was going around the internet?

I'll post it here, it's pretty cool.

Last year I cheered for the Heat, because I couldn't stand all the LeBron hate.

But if it's a rematch this year, I'm all in on the Spurs. Love watching them play.

And they do NOT play "boring".
