    Spurs have been great in regular season but have had issues in the playoffs. Its something Spurs fans probably freak about

    Bulls getting under pretty boy heat players. Its games like these that make you realize they def wouldnt have the stones to play in the 90's

    We won 10 straight in last year's playoffs, and 5 straight this year, so I don't entirely agree with you. I believe what it is is that the Spurs are very smart and play great fundamental basketball almost all the time. Teams (even teams with greater talent) are not used to playing at a consistently high level, which is mandatory in the playoffs. The only way a team can beat San Antonio is if they play smart basketball. Eventually, however, the Spurs run into a team that plays intelligent basketball (specifically in the later rounds); and this team is just more talented.

    Also, I don't think it is just the Heat that would have a tough time playing basketball in the 90s and prior. Most players are used to being babied now by the officials. The Heat were scary good though yesterday. I am not sure if there is a team that can beat them when they are playing angry and at their best. I hope I am wrong though.

    Nah man, you are correct. I think I was just a little sensitive after our loss last night. I am sorry. Since 2009, the Spurs have been eliminated in the first round twice; so that makes twice in five years. I think I have blocked those years out and try and hold on to our postseason success last year and the years prior to 2009. Sadly, I am beginning to realize that our championship days are over.

    You never know. Although Miami looked unstoppable last night. Wade is playing out of his mind too.

    Well that game was much needed. I was not feeling good about our chances; but for once, Golden State was not making every basket under the sun!

    Yeah, I agree with that statement. I wouldn't say that the Knicks are "terrible" though. I just believe the Pacers are the superior team. Indiana should give Miami a run for their money.

    You are preaching to the choir man. Way too many close games for my liking in the Spurs series. Next round against Memphis is going to be brutal!

    Did something happen between Duncan and Richard Jefferson?


    He bumped him last game. I read an article about it. You could see they really dislike each other

    Yeah, there is nothing to it. Richard Jefferson never panned out as a Spur during the two years he was there, and he always gets booed in San Antonio. I think Richard let his pride get in the way, and he wanted to enact revenge on his former team by eliminating them in the playoffs. He acted like an idiot by not allowing Cory Joseph use the traction pad near the scorer's table. Cory is a young player, so the veterans helped him out. Manu pushed Jefferson first, then Timmy gave him another shove.

    Wow! I was not expecting that. I know the rest of the series is going to be WAYYYY tougher than Game 1. For once I wasn't stressed out so much.

    Yeah, but we can't expect Zach Randolph to only get 2 points again. Also we have to be prepared for the Grizzlies when our 3's aren't going down at such a high percentage.

    Lmao. I can't help it! I am never satisfied or complacent with my Spurs until they are hoisting up the Larry O'Brien Trophy. I have seen many teams come back from the brink of extinction. I realize I hold my team to a rather unattainable level of excellence, but the success I have been fortunate enough to have as a fan is responsible.

    I love watching the Pacers play too, but I think the Heat will be too much. I hope I am wrong though. I don't think David Stern and the NBA would be too happy to see a Spurs-Pacers matchup in the Finals, lol. Personally, I would love it.

    I used to like David Stern, but I am not as big of a fan as I used to be.

    Despite the big lead we enjoyed for the majority of the game, it was a lot more difficult than the last one. It is great going up 2-0 though. If we win one game in Memphis, then our chances of advancing are pretty good.

    The ****ing Heat are fortunate they escaped with a win. I love watching Roy Hibbert play. This series is going to be tough, and LeBron is going to have to continue to play out of this world if the Heat are to advance. I have to admit that I am not as afraid of Miami as I was. I am confident my Spurs are capable of beating them if San Antonio is fortunate enough to make it to the Finals.

    Larry Bird put together what a ****ing team. Too nad Donnie Walsh is getting all the credit

    The NBA should be afraid of the pacers. They are young and only going to get better,

    Good job Indiana! Although I predict Miami will advance, I would not be surprised in the least if the Pacers eliminate them.

    4-0 sweep! Miami or Indiana will have their hands full with the Spurs in the Finals. It is nice to finally return to the Finals after 6 long years.
