Title: NBA Finals (2014)
Post by: h1ghw1nd on June 05, 2014, 08:01:02 PM
Who do you have winning the series?

I'm taking the Spurs in 6

Spurs in 7. I want it to be epic, but I also kind of wish the Spurs sweep them in four. ha ha. I am a true Colorado fan, so I support my Nuggets at all times, but the rule growing up was that you always supported your division, or in this case, conference, when your team is eliminated. Which works for me because I cannot stand the Heat or LeBron anyway.

There is ONE exception to that rule...NEVER support the Oakland Raiders. ;)

I'm a Rockets fan so I always go for the other Texas teams if we get knocked out. Crazy game with the AC going out tonight haha. I'm with you though I wish they would sweep them too. I can't stand them either.

I'm just happy that neither of the L.A. teams made it this far.

As a Mavs fan I loathe both of these teams but I guess I'd be less mad if the Spurs win.

I'd like to see Timmy D go out in style with another ring. I live very close to Winston-Salem, NC where Duncan went to college (Wake Forest). Even though I'm a UNC fan and went to school there, I've always had a lot of respect for the guy and have always liked the way he has let his game speak for itself and has been a great role model for kids. His life story of transitioning from swimming to basketball in high school after Hurricane Hugo destroyed his family's pool, is pretty amazing.

Going with Heat in 7 again. Great storylines no matter how it turns out. It's really been a hell of a playoffs.

Lebron caught on fire tonight...I thought the Spurs were gonna close it out =[

It was an insane second half, to be sure. I am looking forward to the next game already.

Me too! Glad it's tomorrow heh. Hard to predict the next one too since I thought the Spurs would be up 2-0. I think it's gonna be a toss up since it's in Miami now at least for the first game.

I'm gonna call Duncan, Parker & Ginobili going for almost 60 and dominating the Heat in game 3.

Heh, the Heat. I hope the Spurs win in 5.

What a stomping! Game three was all San Antonio, all night.

Wow man and game 4? Kawahi Leonard is a beast!!!! Miami is as good as done LOL

It isn't over until the final buzzer sounds, and although I hate what they represent, the Heat have talent. I am looking forward to game 5 and I hope I get to see more awesome defense out of San Antonio and more confusion and frustration on the faces of the Heat.

Being from Kansas City, I don't have a team. But I sure was glad to see the Spurs win it. They played lights out to close out the series.

The San Antonio Spurs' string of five championships in six finals appearances over the last sixteen seasons make them one of the most under-the-radar pro sports dynasties ever. Only the Hell-A Fakers have claimed five titles in that same stretch. But hey, they're the freakin' Lakers, so they get a helluva lot more attention than every other team in the NBA, and have a legendary championship tradition.

Oddly enough, until this year, the Spurs won all their titles in odd-numbered years.  Perhaps last year's finals loss flipped things around? If so, does this mean we might not see another Spurs championship until 2016? Or, if they make it next year, will they lose? Something to think about...

They've gotta win fast if Duncan & Ginobili are gonna be a part of that push. If Kawhi Leonard continues his exceptional play they might not have to though. San Antonio built their team through the draft and a lot of those vets stuck with them the whole time. I respect that a lot, especially when they took down a team that was a superstar assembly.

What about LeBron? Is he leaving Miami? Some folks are saying SA would be his best fit LMAO. My team, the Rockets are going all in for him or Carmelo Anthony

I have been hearing about three possibilities for James and Anthony.

1. Anthony simply joining the Heat and James continuing with the team.

2. Both teaming up and going to the Lakers

3. Both going to Cleveland....Wait a minute...yup...I DID read this correctly.

Haha the Cleveland scenario would be CRAZY. One thing I've heard could be telling of what James would do is whether or not Bosh and Wade pick up their super high $ options. I guess they think James is trying to get another max contract?

I feel like if he leaves Miami it's gonna be fuel for everyone that already didn't like "The Decision."

He will go to whatever team will pay him the most, (just like every other star player with an ego does in any sport), and if they fail, he will say everyone else is holding him back; and if they succeed, he will take all the credit for making it happen just like he has done with the Heat. I'm thankful at least in the recent year, he has given some credit to Bosh and Wade, but I feel those two are in the same egotistical boat James built by leaving Cleveland in the first place.

Then again, I am probably just a little bitter...being a diehard fan of a team that has yet to win a championship...much less play well in the playoffs at all...ha ha
