Not my picks for teams in the final but Spurs in 6. Best team upgraded on the previous champ Leonard should be all star Nicholson Gordon Matrix too bad lost Diaw but Pierce is not Lebron

One of Stephenson, Westbrook or Caldwell-Pope will be guarding Tony Parker at all times. They will defend him aggressively full court, trying to force him to give the ball up before starting the offense.

Westbrook is the better player then parker

I would take Stephenson and Pierce over Leonard and Eric Gordon(who would probably be on IR)

I like the Milsap, Chandler, West, Mozgov frontcourt over the Spurs. If Duncan or Splitter get in foul trouble it could be bad for the Spurs as I don't think Nicholson or McGary could hold their own.

Poppovich is the GOAT so i can't take anything away from that but Tom Izzo is also a phenomenal coach.

I also like my bench better too. West, Sessions, KCP, Mozgov, Watson and Henry is formidable.

Breakdown:

- TP and Mills have enough ability to not lose to WB too badly on defense and offensively, WB will have to penetrate our wing defense and then face our interior defense...

- Our wings completely dominate the Pacer wings.

- Our front-court takes care of business against the Pacers front-court.

Experience, coaching and hunger for "one more" propel us to "one more".

Spurs in 7, Leonard wins a really hard fought series for them, there's just no-one to slow him down and with only Pierce/KCP to draw his defensive attention Kawhi will wreak havoc at multiple positions defensively.

I had these two teams as the best in their conference from the jump. Surprised to hear so many didnt.

Indy is good, but SAS is great. Spurs in 5. Congrats to both guys. Indy for making big changes and still ending up best in the East and the Spurs for not messing much with success.

The playoffs are now closed.

No need to tally the votes really, sorry Indy/Hadzi dogg, you did a great great job, but...

GMs, bow down to the repeat champions:

Congrats to HF4E, great job improving the spurs.

After many games of not even making the playoffs... I finally win it all. The Spurs organization is humble and grateful to hang, yet another banner in the "AT&T Center".
