    Even if Miami ends up winning this series I seriously wonder if Bosh is in a Miami uniform next season.

    Oh yeah, the schedule in this series favors the road team that can win one of the first two games on the road. Well, the Spurs have already done that. Now the pressure is really on the Heat because if they lose the next one on their home court they must go to San Antonio with the Spurs only having to win two of three on their home court. Loving it!

    I don't like these bought big threes. Want Howard but not really both Howard and Paul. Liked the Celtics but didn't like buying Allen and KG. KG fine, but Allen not quite.

    Nice post.

    That's how I feel.

    These two teams...Rockets and Spurs...and Mavericks...are all against each other. For example, if the Spurs continue to win championships and the Rockets do not that directly affects how many fans the Spurs continue to get in Texas.

    You guys want to continue to see Spurs fans being louder in Toyota center?

    Does anyone remember what the percentage chance to win the Finals is for the team that takes game one?

    crap I totally forgot that. THe thing is both these teams are so good that HCA isn't that helpful. NBA has done a good job officiating too with minimal home cooking.

    i don't care how classy they are, if the rockets aren't winning championships, i don't want anybody else from texas winning anything else.

    Spurs just need to take care of home court and it's over.

    Anyways, why so many puritanical fans? One must be this or that? Just enjoy.

    The mavericks are in a different class...its the *******/jerkoff class. I have never thought of the spurs as such...just a really good team I would like the rockets to play like.

    I can see that for the mavs, but like I said, they already have 4 championships. Its not our place to compete for franchise acheivements just yet....7 years ago? Yea.

    Spurs execution during this game is amazing. I guess this is what you get with great players who play together for years and a great coaching staff. I wish the rockets could execute like that.

    Exactly.

    I also don't care how classy they are. They are in direct competition against the Rockets.

    I want the Rockets to be THE basketball team in Texas. We have two, I'd like to keep the Spurs at four because winning two more 'ships is easier than three obviously.

    Don't carry any hate for the heat. Lebron is a classy guy who puts his soul into the game. I have no problem rooting for him.

    Hope Chris Bosh decides to play PF the rest of the series.

    Good. It's still a complete toss up IMO. I picked the Spurs but most of the games are gonna be close. Maybe all. HEat could just win the next 4.

    We're rooting for the Heat to fail miserably in the Finals, don't you get it? The Rockets got a long long long way to go to be considered an elite team to begin with.
