    Forget East vs. West. In the last 17 seasons in the NBA, 41% of them have been won by the state of Texas alone.

    2 by the Rockets
    4 by the Spurs
    1 by the Mavs

    Think it's tough in these parts?

    Rough waters for the Rockets lately, but definitely something to hold your head up high about.

    If this means Dallas has a better chance to repeat...

    I don't like how we are in the middle of that stat. I really hope Houston surprises us soon and wins it all... Ugh...

    a friend pointed out

    In the last 30 years
    The Western Conference Champion
    [the West's representative in the NBA finals]
    has either been . . . . THE LAKERS or a TEXAS TEAM

    I need to check it

    Pretty sure we had Jazz play Jordan's Bulls (twice?), and the Sonics too.

    That's certainly not true. Utah made two Finals. Seattle made one Finals. And that's just going back to 1996.

    The Bulls beat two non-Texas/Lakers teams in their first three-peat (Portland and Phoenix). The Pistons beat the Blazers in 1990.

    Did he mean the team from the Western Conference to win it all?

    EDIT: Yeah. That's probably what he meant.

    Look. The last Western Conference team to win it all that wasn't Lakers or Texas was the Seattle Sonics in 1980. Just saying.

    Don't care. Dallas isn't even really part of Texas anyway...

    I somewhat respect San Antonio. No way I'm respecting Dallas.

    Are we Rockets fans really scooping as low as pulling the Texas card in order to cheer for the Mavs? Man, sad. I'm glad the LeDouche, DWhistle and Baby Bosh lost, but do I really have to cheer for the Mavs just because they reside in Texas?
