re: SA Spurs 2014 NBA Finals Thread (vs. MIA 0-0) [Game 1 Thu. @ 2000 CST]

Brandin Cooks BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Spurs by 14 with 3 minutes till halftime.

This series is a complete mismatch.

Popovich is coaching circles around Stotts.

I'm so happy the draft is tonight!

Spurs are a great team and organization top to bottom

This is really weird to see Dallas give SA problems only the to see SA rape the Blazers.

Shows me that Rick Carlisle is a damn good coach. Would love to have him up here.

Yup. People were so focused on Dallas being an 8 seed, they forgot that it was RC's coaching that dragged 'em there to begin with. Damn fine coach--he actually outcoached Pop, tbh. Just didn't have the horses to finish the job.

I think the Spurs needed the Mavs to reveal their flaws. Sometimes adversity can be a blessing.

Yup.

What's weird is that Stotts is a Carlisle understudy. You'd think it'd be a bit closer.

Personnel-wise, Dallas matched up a bit better with SA, it appears. Also, Dallas is far more experienced as a group in postseason play than the young Blazers. They'll come along quickly, though, I do believe.

Blazers are WAY too reliant on jump shots and the 3 ball. They need a David West type guy in the post.

Someone else will have to update score. Radio isn't working at work, and neither are most of my sports websites at the moment.

Thanks, Obama

What a comeback by Portland. Wow

Gotdammit, I was just about to express some measure of disgust before my wife emailed me celebrating the win

Well played
