Cavs vs Spurs. This is going to be a doozy. The NBA got their Superstar to the Finals and they couldnt be happier.Mike Brown - Underated? or
Comments
it seems like this series will be a sweep...3 championships in 7 years against a team that is led by 22 year old 4 year player with no supporting cast.
but for some reason i think it will be closer than people think.
for one, bruce bowen isn't that good on defense. not good enough to stop lebron that is.
and i think cleveland is underated defensivly.
i say spurs in 6.
is there anyone on here that will be rooting for the spurs ?
DJ Enki... the lone Spurs fan that I have ever encountered, either online or in real life.
that double ot was hot to death...on the edge of my seat...
Spurs in 5
hehe, me too.
i've never known in my life (non online) a pacer, jazz or spurs fan. ever.
although i'm kind of a fan of the jazz now.

Yup yup.
It comes as no surprise that most will be rooting for the Cavs...but how many of you yatches are actually picking the Cavs to win it?
I'll be pulling for the Black and Silver, but mostly because of this man:
Ya gotta love Mike Brown's nonchalant attitude.
I wanna see what Lebron can do, but I want his team to ultimately lose. So that I don't have to hear all the bandwagon non-ballers about how he's one step closer to divinity. I could imagine them saying ignorant shit like "Look what Lebron did, and Kobe didn't!".
b/w
I think Gibson will be a handful for Parker. But I don't think he can stop Parker without fouling so....i don't know.
i hope bowen doesnt try some dirty shit on lebron. no sticking his foot under the shooter while he goes up, no knees to the groin etc.
im thinking the spurs in 6games.
This should be a great series. I don't think Popavich is dumb enough for Lebron or Gibson to dominate games. He's gonna force EVERYONE on the Cavs to hit shots. If he can do that, he pretty much has the O'Brien trophy wrapped up for him.
One more thing, Gooden is the X-factor for the Cavs. He needs to do what he does best; which is to go after loose balls, and basically create chaos on both ends. And hit some jumpshots. Get the Spurs "on tilt". They're not gonna kill themselves, somebody has to stir up the action, not just Lebron and Daniel Gibson.
There really is no end to your adulation of Kobe Bryant, is there?
You remind me of Glenn Close.
HOLY SHIT. Kid got some ballz. I think this may very well be Gibson's coming out party as well.
That wasn't adulation. It was a defense mechanism.
the world will be rooting for the cavs, but san antonio isn't really a team you can hate. they play team ball and are basically ego-less. however, ginobli, imo, is one of the most exciting players in the league....rocky balboa-esq...minus the muscles. he looks like a total chump but makes some miraculous...and suprisingly athletic plays...even dunking on dudes.
Try being a fan of a team that is trying to come up in the same division/conference as those dudes. Add to that being displaced into "Spurs country". The hate flows like a fountain.
i got you
No hate here. Never that for that matter.
They have their vulnerabilities. It's just that when it all comes together, it is a VERY beautiful thing.
How sweet.
Phil, man, the sports threads need you! As evidenced above.
NFL is so close I can smell it........
i played ball yesterday and i was channeling his spirit. pull up 3s and shit. teardrop floaters. we were down 10-4 in a game to 11 and we just started getting that swagger. with my rag tag bunch of team mates we started the aerial and mental assault and won 11-10. i was guarding the best player on the other team and he was kinda tough for me to guard in the paint. so i pulled out the mental game and crushed his spirit. shit was so dope. thats what ball is all about!!!!!! daniel gibson!!!! what!!!!!!!!
What kind of shit is that where you don't have to win by 2?
I tell you what though. This "Boobie" shit is played. He played in Austin for two years and I never heard him called that once. That's not on him, that's on the media is what I'm saying.
I especially liked the part about Marv Albert soiling his VS undergarments, and the Force of Nature part.
"David Stern having an orgasm at center court"! LOL Phil_Most is officially back in the NBA thread.
There are so many truth nuggets in this piece.
