Last year they were banged up, this year they are healthy and gelling at the right time.

I don't think so.

They are a good team, but they can't get through the playoffs starting Boris Diaw at fricking center.

I'm loving what I see from the Clippers right now. Call me crazy, but I think they can win this series.

Noah would have been a nightmare for San Antonio in all of the dirty work areas.

Spurs have been absolutely murking people all year long. Before the playoffs started, they had won 21 out of 23.

There is no way the Bulls could have beaten the Spurs in a series. The Bulls were playing balls-to-the wall all year, barely beating cellar-dwellers.

I agree with this...it's not so much that Bosh is that great, but the backup front court depth is putrid...I guess that's the price you pay when you try to buy a championship


Bosh isn't the superstar/transcendent player that he was occasionally made out to be at the time of the big 3 merger but he's a pretty damn good, smart player. Having 2 great wing players is wonderful but ideally I would think you'd want their games to vary a bit more.

in fairness, they were doing it without Rose.

I'm young, but Pop is the best NBA coach I've ever seen.

How is that a joke?

I don't know why you underestimate the Spurs so much. For a self-proclaimed basketball enthusiast, you would think their intelligent play and great defense would have won you over.

I think the Bulls COULD have beaten the Spurs, don't get me wrong, but I think in the end experience and Pop win out more than likely.

From an X's and O's standpoint and getting the most out of less talent I would say yes

I agree in this sense. Pop is the best X's and O's true team coach of this generation. Phil was the best at managing players and inspiring them.

Well, yeah, there's always a chance. I learned that from Dumb and Dumber.

Rose has averaged 35 a game against the Spurs the last two years.

They don't have anyone who can guard him. He's really explosive and they're really old.

Noah is a havoc down low, especially against a team with a slower Duncan and a fricking 6'8'' dude starting at center. Splitter would have had to play more minutes, I'm sure.

Chicago would have had home-court as well.

You say there is NO WAY Chicago could have beaten San Antonio in a series even when they had home-court? That, my friend, is retarded.

Okay, NO WAY was obviously a hyperbole. Anything can happen.

Duncan would make Noah his bottom bitch tho. And ronnie brewer, as much as I love him, has no chance at guarding ginobli. Spurs' second team would also make mince meat of the Bulls' backups.

Ginobli is averaging 8.5/3.5/4.5 in the playoffs. Obviously, he's only played about 24 or 25 minutes a game, but still.

It's not like he's their go-to guy or anything.

He's lost a few steps from all his injuries and age.

Definitely not the Ginobili of old

Ginobli leads the NBA with a 9.6 flops per game average. Don't tell me that won't matter in crunch time.
