Respect for the Spurs

I love the Warriors. But I have a hard time thinking they are going to win because of my respect for the Spurs.

Responding elsewhere, I realize that in the past 10 years, the Spurs are probably the one team that I can count on to give their all the whole game, whether its the playoffs or some game in November.

The Jordan Bulls used to be like that, I remember a game in 1995 or 1996 at the San Jose Arena (remember construction?) where the Bulls just came in and drilled the Warriors 60-20 in the 2nd period and I was watching the Bulls, especially Jordan on Sprewell, play playoff D in some stupid game against a lame team. They went 72-10 that year.

Since, there is no other team I can think of that plays so hard every game. That's the utmost respect for the game I can think of. For some reason though, I root for the Mavs and the Suns instead of the Spurs in the playoffs, probably because they've won already. Kudos to Duncan, Popovich, Parker, Ginobili, Bowen for their effort.

It was about Effort, Not Wins

You missed my point, its all about the effort. Look around the past 10 years, which teams could you count on to play hard for 48 mins every game? It all starts with Duncan. For their effort and professionalism I applaud the Spurs.

Nothing better than "The City".
