If the Heat beat the Mavs in the Finals (highly unlikely, cause the Mavs are a long shot to make the Finals), I'd hate life.
If the Heat beat some random ass team in the Finals (Spurs, Suns, Jazz, Nuggets, etc) I'm fine, just for the fuck of it cause I'd know the haters gon be pissed ...
Knowing that my team won't make the Conference Finals let alone the NBA Finals, I'd be fine with the Heat winning.
Like I said previously, I'm not a fan of Team USA at all, matter of fact I prefered Spain to beat them in the Olympics, but hey, they are a borderline showtime team and the Heat will also be at least just that. So I'm cool with watching them dominating niggas.

I wouldnt sell the Mavs short. They are a good team. Unfortunately, they are that kind of team where everyone says "they wont win the whole thing no matter what". But Conference is very possible...and the finals is even possible. Theres no telling what these Heat team will become. But we havent had a TRULY dominant team for years in the NBA. And I mean, truly dominant as in...theres no way this team will lose (ala, Bulls in the 90's). So every year, any one of the top 6 to 7 teams can reach the finals.

Well, this year they got bounced in the first round by losing to an aged and injury-plagued team that got swept in the 2nd round. In the off-season, all they really did was trading Dampier's attractive contract (13 mil that can be bought out with 2 mil) for Chandler's expiring contract. They also overpaid Haywood for 6 fucking years, which makes him absolutely untradeable, just like Marion. I wouldn't say they improved during this off-season. They might even be worse, cause all good players are between 31 and 37 years old and Chandler just sucks.
The only thing that keeps my hopes alive is that they have 27 mil of expiring contracts and some decent rookie-contract players. So they might be able to get 1-2 nice players who wanna leave their teams. I'm looking at you, Chris Paul. Chandler+Butler+Stevenson+Barea for Chris Paul+Okafor would do it. Anything less than that equals another disappointing playoff performance after 55 regular season wins.

True. You guys are done...lol
Ive always thought it was funny tho how people always call the Spurs old. Its gotten to where I think its just the thing to say, no matter how old they are. Theyre average age at the beginning of the season last year was 27yrs. Not that old.

Well, I don't believe in average age, cause it's all about the best players in basketball.
Duncan - turns 35 before next playoffs. Straight up old.
Ginobili - turns 34 soon after next playoffs. Considering how injury-prone dude is, I'd say he's pretty old. Got a ridiculous extension that also fucked up any FA ambitions for the Spurs.
Parker - not old. But not really young either.
Jefferson - already 30. Also got a long term extension and will definitely use his player option. Virtually untradeable. Didn't fit in well last season. Given the fact that he heavily relies on athelicism, I wouldn't have given him a long term extension. He's going to be a horrible player in 3-4 years.
Mc Dyess - turns 36 before next season. Straight up old.
Bonner - already 30.
Then there are some promising young niggas in Hill and Splitter, but those guys are clearly still bench players.

True. But theyre younger players play a lot of minutes. Hill could be a starter on the team if they just chose to go that route. Thats why all the Parker trade rumors were circulating. If you remember when Parker came back last year after the injury, he had a difficult time getting his starting spot back from Hill. Blair will be a starter at some point. If he didnt play the same position as Tim, he probably would be. I actually like Jeffersons contract. It free'd up some room for us to spend. He should do a better job fitting in this year. Players tend to struggle the first year in the Spurs system. He just needs to start knockin down those jumpers. But his expiring contract in a few years could be attractive to somebody.
This means that even with their core being older, they can counteract it by playing them less minutes. Timmy's minutes dropped down a lot last year so that they could save him for the playoffs. Pop was even able to give him some games off just to rest. With Splitter showing up Im sure he will do that even more.
But theyve set themselves up nicely for this transition as Duncan and Manu wind down their careers. They wont have to go through a major rebuilding since theyre younger players will be hitting their prime right as Duncan and Manu are on the way out. And Splitter will benifit a ton by playing these next couple years with Timmy.
Hill
Blair
Splitter
Anderson
Neal
Temple
Id be willing to bet at least 3 of these guys end up being all-stars at some point.
OG Hack Wilson:
i want to see them lose in game 7 of the ECF to boston and then boston will beat Lal in the finals for revenge

Chamillitary Click:
If I don't know what I'd do.
No point of having a PG on the floor considering Wade & LeBron would bring it up every single possesion anyway; maybe bring one in eventually, but off the start, I don't know.
Going to be an interesting year.
