Sure, Spurs Bulls would be a great finals- unless of course you like TV ratings.

Paserby23, I have a history of postseason success on which I can base some trust in the Spurs, I don’t have that for Dallas. I will say this though, a scout I talked to the other day said that the Lakers biggest hurdle in the West was still their own minds and focus.

I didn’t see the Lakers handle the Mavs “with ease.” It was a competitive game until the last minute. It was one of those games where the Mavs just couldn’t get over the hump and make the timely shot or timely stop that they needed.

Kurt, you don’t seem to share the same concern that the Spurs were manhandled by the Lakers much more than the Mavs were. You still have the Spurs at #1. One game is not indicative of a series. Injuries, matchups, adjustments from game to game, etc. factor into a playoff series. Not saying I would pick Dallas to beat LA, but remember when the Lakers got tossed around not long ago by Dallas and everyone was saying LA was in trouble.

Also, the Sixers did not beat the Heat this week, they beat the Celtics. Point remains the same though.

Hmm….article written Monday, not taking into account games played on Sunday… doesn’t that make your whole list virtually irrelevant? Good job?

I generally disagree with him whenever he writes something associated with the city of Chicago.

I do want to point out one thing, why is everyone giving credit to the Heat for beating the Grizzlies? A team assembled with LeBron, Wade, and Bosh is getting an awful lot of credit for beating a Memphis squad. Sure, the Grizz are a fine team, but not a championship worthy team like the 3 stars proclaim to be.

LeBron should of just stayed in Cleveland, Wade should of signed with Chicago, and Bosh should of went back to Jurassic Park.

Just a heads up, the Knicks didnt beat the Mavs, they got crushed. They did however beat the Grizzlies the night before. Thats probably what you’re referring to.

Have not read one thing Kurt has written that I agree with.
