    In light of today's event, we need to gage the opinion poll of the Clutch BBS.

    I second that motion. It should be illegal for floppers (ginobili) to win anything at all.

    I'm happy for Robert and Mike Wilks

    Otherwise though, I don't really care.

    They got the job done, what else can you say?

    Sure, you hate it but as a sane, objective basketball fan you accept it and treat it as such. Doesn't mean you have to like it, but respect is certainly required.

    Any team that can make it out of 29 teams to the top gets my respect. And who really cares what San Antonio Spurs fans say? Bragging rights? C'mon- they can't even get more than 1 sports franchise in a city that is top 10 in population. That's sad. Rather than be jealous, I just look at it as more motivation for the Rockets to succeed.

    tinny... you should have been at the Tavern last night... I have never seen so many cowards on bar in my life. These Houstonians were chearing for the spurs throughout the whole 4th quarter...

    the bar should have put this sign up - so I would have gone to a more rocket friendly establishment

    seems to me some folks around here are a little insecure.

    So what if SA won 1 more title than we currently have?

    Who's team has more upside and is more likely to win more rings in the coming years?
    The Rockets are...SA could barely handle us this year...can you imagine how they are gonna handle us with some more younger weapons that fit around TM and Yao next year?

    Ill say it now...SA will not win another while TM and Yao are teamed up here...book that.

    now...as for my level of happiness...I honestly didnt care very much..but it was nice to see Horry get that 6th ring...and given a choice between a yankee team and a Texas team winning...I choose Texas everytime..

    If I cant have the ROckets there...at least I have my Texas pride......Im a Rockets fan first...a Texas fan second...a American fan third...

    i'm just happy its over so we can finally start hearing about the rockets draft and about potential rockets trades and FA signings.

    another added benefit from the end of the finals - we dont have to hear that whiny PA announcer that the spurs have. he got on my nerves every spurs home game. he sucked. bad.

    Easily the third one. I hope every Rockets fan that voted #1 because they are a Texas team encounters a Spurs fan once a day who relentlessly talks **** to them because they have more championships than us now. That's what you deserve.

    This sucks, living in Victoria, all the band wagon spurm fans came out after the 2nd round. I had my 4 kids all saying "GO Pistons Go", I have done my part to keep their minds right.

    Growing up, San Antonio was my second favorite team behind the Rockets. I loved Gervin. I honestly don't care if they won. The team I despise is Dallas.

    Texas pride seems to be at a low ebb in this thread. I'm thrilled that San Antonio is bringing another championship and more prestige to Texas.

    I had no option to vote for. My feelings are if the Rockets don't win the championship somebody else has to so I'd just as soon it be the Spurs rather than anybody else. I respect their team concept, their coach and Tim Duncan. They are from Texas and don't have a whiny billionare owner. It keeps the focus on Texas being the center of the NBA universe and heats up the three-way rivalry that can only make the Rockets try harder.

    Why would anyone from Houston want Detroit to repeat and have a chance to three-peat?
