Simply question. Who and why?

I have no particular preference. I think Indiana's size would give us trouble, whereas Miami has the best player in the world. We would have HC against Indy and start on the road against the Heat.

Either way, I think we beat both.

Im an OKC fan, but since my team is out, Im rooting for the Spurs.
Very fun team to watch for every basketball "expert"!

I think with the 2-3-2 format, the team who plays 3 straight at home has an advantage.
If the two teams are on a similar level, than its likely to be 1-1 after the first two games...and the next 3 games are all played at home and those are very deciding games.

Its most likely that Spurs will face the Heat and its gonna be a great finals.
Best system against Most athletic and gifted team.

As an NBA fan I wish the best system wins.

Indy is good and I hope they can force a game 7 against Miami...but it would need a small miracle for them to get to the Finals.
If they do, I think Spurs win it in 5. Im hoping therefore for Miami because those will be much more exciting games to watch,
Life may not be the party we hoped for but while we are here we might as well dance!

Interesting fact: we've never lost a finals series. 4 for 4. But we've had HCA in each series as well.

ECF going the distance. I really don't think either team would beat us, not at full strength. This Miami team suddenly looks more like the Cavs mess that he abandoned three years ago. Wade is done, Bosh is soft, the rest of the team are trash.

Spurs kryptonite is high scoring, fast-paced, athletic, quick teams (OKC, Denver, Memphis...etc)

Neither Miami or Indiana plays like that(Miami is the closest thing) so I think we do well against either. I don't care who wins in that regard.
If you ask me who I want to win, it's Indiana because Dwayne Wade is a dick.

Regardless of who we play, if they can beat the Spurs they deserve a championship.

Memphis aren't high scoring or fast-paced at all.

You're right, not anymore. I was thinking of the team that pummeled us 2 years ago.

Return to San Antonio Spurs
