Well the Knicks and the Celtics are the only teams that have been there since day 1 of the NBA and have stayed in the same city since then.

Not saying they are a powerhouse with a rich tradition of winning, but I don't there's anything wrong with calling the Knicks 'historic'.

I agree....coincidentally, I was born in Providence, RI - The Providence Steamrollers were one of the original NBA franchies. My HS basketball coach (Andy Tonkovich) was the #1 overall pick by the Steamrollers and his son played at LSU in the early 70's.

When you lose an NBA championship in game 7 when you should have won in game 6, but a miracle prevented it, it's much easier to add a couple small pieces and make another run at it.

When you lose games 3 and 4 on your own floor by 21 and 19 points, you might want to look into fixing something a little more significant.

Assuming San Antonio closes it out Sunday, there will be a significant difference in how the Spurs felt after the finals from how the Heat will feel.

So what were your thoughts when the Spurs lost a first round game to Dallas by 19 at home and they needed 7 games to eliminate an 8 seed while Miami was sweeping Charlotte?

By the way, what exactly is the miracle you are referring to? A 3 Pt. shot by the player who has hit more 3 Pt. shots than any player in NBA history? A miracle? And having the A/C go out in a game where SA was in trouble at home or having the highest FG % in a half in the history of the NBA Finals isn't a bit of good fortune?
