I think we were already able to discern that you are a casual fan of a certain LA team that will be in the draft lottery next year.

Ginobli is an easy 1st ballot HOFer. (I'm wagering you don't know about this topic either.)

Whatever it takes for you to ease your pain after your team choked away game 6 and 7 buddy.

HEAT ARE THE CHAMPIONS!

Thanks for the congratulations! That being said the San Antonio Spurs are a helluva team! So Congrats to them too! We didn't buy a "championship" as many would say! Remember who is our General Manager in Pat Riley who knows how to build teams and choose players as well!

Unto our next championship next year!

would not have asked for anything more. my spurs smashed a couple teams from cali, and one from tenn. they took it to the heat and came up just a little short but they played with honor, and pride and took the heat to the wire in game 7.

losing in another round would have sucked more, getting blown out in the finals would have sucked also. im good with this loss, lebron played a ridiculous game 7. the only complaint i have is that the spurs got out flopped, i mean come on bosh/lebron/wade/battier you guys won the title, you could have given my spurs the floppers award at least!

I'm a Bulls fan, you are just a fair weather fan.

It's all good, after a week or so, we won't probably ever see you here again.

That happens a lot around this time of year.

If I were a Spurs fan, I would have rather lost 4-1, or 4-2. Losing game 7, especially when it's close, sucks. You know you're team is so close and comes up just short.

as a spurs fan i dont think so. i would rather take the other team to the limit, knowing i gave it my all and we pushed the best team to the brink.

it reminds me or losing a series, do you root for the team that beat you to win or to lose in the next round? i personally root for the team that beat my team, kind of a solace in saying we only lost to the team that won it all. gives you that feeling of what could have been so to speak.

Indeed. I'm just hoping my Bulls get healthy and give you guys some serious competition in the east next year and thereafter. A healthy Bulls squad is IMO a bigger threat than Indy.

^agreed. It will be nice to see some real competition in the East again; the Pacers are a good team, but we pretty much saw everything they had these past two seasons, and it's not quite enough.
See you guys in a couple weeks when everything quiets down

Yeah, us NBA fans got robbed this year of seeing both the Bulls and OKC at full strength....and the Lakers too.

Would have made for more interesting rounds IMO.
