<font color=#007AAA face="courier new">No not the fucking Devils. The Nets. The Spurs are gonna dominate them as only the Spurs can.

And by that I mean, leading every game going into the fourth quarter and then losing two of them somehow down the stretch. Spurs in six, bitches.</font>

I think you give too much credit to the media trying to make more out of this series then is really there (for ratings purposes naturally).

Spurs in 5... (tim duncan breaks a nail)

<font color=#007AAA face="courier new">Nah. The Nets are legit. They rightfully beat up on a puny Eastern Conference, so they look like the real deal. Unfortunately they don't have any big bodies to throw down with TD and David Robinson. They haven't been using Dikembe very much, so they don't look so hot in that category. But they sure have more heart than the Spurs.</font>

At the same time though, I must counter that it is an easier thing to have heart when overcoming adversity and we both know the Eastern Conference was not that. Had the Spurs just come off a sweep and the Nets just come off a game 6 or 7, I would agree. Yet, the nets swept the whole thing and that often breeds overconfidence (which unlike the spurs, they can't back up).

What about getting swept in the finals last year? They have something to prove now.

p.s. Spurs in six, but i'm hoping for Nets in 6. :(

Spurs in 5. The Nets bench is weak, their shooting is weak, their coaching staff is weak, and their fan-base is apparently weak. Wait, so is SA's.

Anyway, Duncan and Parker will ravage the Nets in two games, lose one and the other two will go to the wire.

?

Scott is a good coach.

and yeah, the crowds here fucking suck. The Devils and the Nets can't sell out shit until they get to the Finals. It pisses me off. I'd go to every game if I had someone to go with.

<font color=#007AAa face="courier new">He obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. San Antonio's fan base is anything but weak. It's just not loud and psychotic, like Philly's. But I'll tell you this, the whole city hates the Lakers and prays that L.A. falls into the ocean.</font>

I think they have a loud crowd. Just look at all those guy's losing their heads at Fatso's Sports Garden!

Still, I thought it was kind of weird that there were so many people cheering for Dallas during game 5. I know it's the same state, so that shouldn't have been a surprise, but there were barely any Spurs fans at Dallas.
