Not boring. There is beauty in the Spur’s fundamentally sound style basketball

Watching Mike Brown getting an atomic wedgie over and over from Popowitz and not making any adjustments til it was too late? -Priceless.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

People continously negate the Spurs, but the Cavs weren't exactly showstopping themselves. And Lebron, ugh, nothing like His Airness.

Jot that down now.

I'm the only one who picked option 1? Man, I think Duncan is the most boring player in the NBA. Jerome James is more entertaining!

Any final without Knicks is boring
But this was great bbal for people who understand the game. Especially last 2 games.
It was emoutional and fair.
It wasnt flashy and leBron wasn't helping to make it falshy. This is the indication that he IS on the way to greatness. In Cleavland or somewhere else

No doubt... Jerom defenetely is.
But he is professional Globetrotter so it is not fair to compare him to Tim.
Tim never worked for circus. Jerom from other side is sharping his circus skills in NY lately.

Well if 78-71 "classics", blowouts, the star player displaying the passion of lenny the librarian, and Ginobli flopping when somebody breathes on him are all components that make great ball for fans who "understand" the game, then I guess I'm glad I dont understand it.

The fans lost it for the basketball season as soon as the Spurs-Suns suspensions. The league determined the champion and that is not what it is about its the two best teams going at it to the best capacity of the team without outside interference. Unfortunately for all the fans the league interfered again as it has on many occasions. This was down right the worst basketball I have seen there were regualr season games better than the finals maybe the league should have interfered with the finals and suspended it.

the spurs are a GREAT f'g team. they are a classic all-time squad. they could have competed in any era of basketball. they are a purist's delight.

the finals sucked this year and were boring because cleveland couldn’t beat them at home. the spurs blew them out at home and those games sucked because they weren’t even close to competitive.

in cleveland, the games were a whole different thing. but the cavs lost 3 and 4 in close games. if they had won them, then 5 and 6 would have been classics and it would have been a great series.

I thought for sure you'd be agreeing with my comment about Jerome!

Any true basketball fan will watch a competitive NBA finals.

Detroit vs LA was THE SERIES TO REMEMBER and gave me hope again.

Spurs are the most fundamentally sound team, I give them all the credit in the world but on the other side the east is so weak. It is so unbelievable....if it keeps happening like this every team in the east is going to suck like the knicks.
