I've been telling my friends that will be the Finals match-up since back in January. Of course, I'm high on drugs. :wacko:

I don't think the Spurs can beat Memphis. And I am not sure they can beat the Lakers. They might have OKC's number.

Same, I have said Spurs and Bulls to my friend that is a Laker fan yesterday and said that I am high, well I smoked a bowl, but that doesn't mean that I am stupid for saying that, if these two teams are healthy in the playoffs I believe that it is Spurs Bulls and I can't really see it any other way!

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Cubs
  1. Chicago Bulls
  2. Golden State Warriors
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Chicago Blackhawks
And in the end it will be the most historical Finals that can happen. :troll:

Spurs - Bulls

The only two undefeated teams in Finals.

That would actually be pretty interesting...the Spurs are underrated by many people. That said...their age will probably catch up to them before they have a chance to get to the finals. I think the Lakers could take them out in 5 or 6 if everyone's healthy.

I worry about the Heat... I also worry about OKC, Memphis and the Lakers.

What do those 3 teams out west have in common? Better frontcourts than the Bulls, with the exception of OKC who don't really have scoring from their big men.

chicago is a much better rebounding team than the heat... partly because they have more size down low

turiaf is a good shotblocker, but they dont really have a true center..they're all undersized

and bosh bolsters that frontcourt..but at the same time he likes to play on the perimeter

I believe in that statement he was talking about the frontcourts out west.

ah, ya i think he was...my mistake

i agree with that then...memphis and the lakers both have really good frontcourts

i think the bulls could match up well rebounding wise regarding the frontcourt..but the problem would be defending the paint..especially when you have one starter in the frontcourt who doesnt rotate very well or play defense that well overall

Boozer is a major liability against the Lakers. Historically teams have won in the post..either offensively or defensively.

I think our overall team can beat Memphis though. I don't see Memphis going beyond the 2nd round though even if they get out of the first.

disagree, this spurs team isnt faltering like last year(12-11 in march and april last year regular season, this team? 18-5)...plus manu got hurt against memphis and that was a huge blow...

memphis was also a surprise team last year that caught people a little off guard..also they lost a great leader and defender in battier who came up with some huge plays in those series

ya they have *** back..who can ball..and this memphis team is not really much better than last year's team... also *** isnt necessarily a ballhog but he's not someone who completely changes the dynamic of a team

this spurs team is a little younger, has incredible depth and ball distribution

they are 4-0 against the grizzlies this year...opposed to 2-2 last year

of course the key to everything here is randolph who has been coming back from an injury and doesnt look the same as he did last season...if he plays like he did last season i give memphis a decent chance..if not then i see the spurs winning

lakers are a different story..i think they are definitely a threat to the spurs with their size down low..and having to deal with kobe..and now a servicable PG in sessions

I meant the latter 3 teams, not Miami. Sorry for not making that clearer.
