Regardless, you could not have asked for better matchups across the board. Houston and Utah should be a good one. Toss up. I like Houston though.

Oh, the begining of the end. Spurs in 5.

Ok then Whorstman, I get to brag:

ONe last little tidbit with a different Nuggets team in the 1st series game. Denver was 17 out of 18 to finish the season. They beat the Spurs in San Antonio the first game of the series. People loaded on board like rats. Hope it happens again. The series was a sweep after that first loss. I love these type of betting scenarios after the first game goes bad.

Denver will be better next year. They played much harder than ever before. Iverson has brought more toughness to the team. But you could see after the 1st loss in Denver, he knew they were not going to do it this year. It will be interesting to see if Karl can make this team work. They are more athletically talented than the Spurs and it is not even close.

The D is the deal. The Dallas/Golden State series may be fun, but I love the help D that good TEAMS play.

Last little note. The Spurs are so old. They must make some significant trades in the next year or they will end up in a Knick's situation. Seriously, I cannot believe the Knicks actually gave Isiah that contract... utterly mind-blowing.

Don't you realize it takes a special kind of person to create the disgrace that is the Knicks? The Spurs may flounder a bit as they age but they will never be the diaster that Dolan/Isiah have made.
