i feel bad for the nets. 2 yrs in a row…oh well.  
I didn’t see a single dribble of the NBA Finals this year.

congrats to spurs fans.

yeah, but the Nets deserve to win it next year, they played hard, but if they loose Jason Kidd, then its gonna be hard. Congrats to the Spurs though, putting together a 19-0 run in the 4th quarter is not easy. it was a pretty good game, though.🙂

the nba finals haven’t been the same since '98 when jordan retired and the bulls were dismantled. maybe it’s just me (being the hardcore bulls fan that i was).

don’t get me wrong, both teams have some very good players-- tim duncan, jason kidd, kenyan martin, david robinson (well he was good once)–but i just couldn’t make myself root for either team. what’s an NBA final without the flamboyant antics of a dennis rodman? or the subtle leadership of scottie pippen? or his airness himself, michael jordan?

that’s just my opinion.

btw, does anybody know what is wrong with Dikembe Mutombo’s voice? it’s really freaky.

I knew it couldn’t be the English Spurs - can anyone remember the last time they won anything? 😛

I was quite upset at seeing the Nets lose. After San Antonio defeated my two favorite teams, Lakers and Mavericks, I couldn’t bear to root for them 😉

Kit, nope :thumb:

The nets better watch out though, or they’re gonna turn out like the bills of the early 90’s. :-\

Well, if Jason Kidd leaves the Nets, which I am guessing he will, the Nets probably won’t make it next year…or will they? There are rumors that Kidd may join SA.

I have the 1998 NBA Finals on tape…it’s my pride and joy 🙂

I pull them out from time to time and watch them…it’s amazing how I, a huge Bulls fan, could forget how good MJ and the Bulls actually were.

Someday, when I’m old, I’m going to make my grandchildren watch them…just to show them what Real basketball is all about.

Ah well spurs played well you must admit it, i think Duncan was incredible, i mean a 7 footer making plays like a guard, come on!! you see some of those crazy dishes.

Still hate SA though 😛

Anyway Have any of you guys watched a vintage championship, with LAkers and celtic, or boston and celtic, chicago and lakers, man those are some awesome games, seeing jordan play Magic , what a game. thats the game he did that “spectacular Move” went for a straight dunk, then in the air coming down switched to a left hand scoop layup!!:!: Those are the games to watch!!

thanks to stupid FOX Sports’ crappy coverage of world sports, I saw no NBA this season ☹

Only shown on ESPN which comes in the most expensive package…

boooo to that. Heard Duncan was 2 blocks short of a quadruple double! Good on him for that and a nice finish to Robinson’s career 🙂

Yeah, that was a nice finish for The Admiral.

The problem with the finals this years is that no team had a superstar. Yeah, Kenyon Martin, Jason Kidd, Tim Duncan are good players, but if either team came to my town, I could care less.

But if the Mavs came with Nash and Van Exel…and Dirk…well, I would fight for tickets…oh wait, I live in San Diego, we don’t have a Basketball team after the Clippers left! ☹

\*Jason Kidd should go to the Spurs if he wants a ring.

The best team to watch this year would have to be the Mavericks. Hands down.

I also have to agree with the statement earlier about the Bulls and Lakers in the good 'ol days. Those were classics.

And if Jordan didnt retire in the 93-94 season, they probably would have won 7 straight titles.  
…the world will never know.

Yeah, I am with you on the Mavericks! I really liked that team, and the owner Mark Cuban is a web-guy just like all of us =) The Mavericks had some really cool players with cool names like NAJERA and NOWITZKI and VAN EXEL!

I also read today on [MSN.com](http://MSN.com) (probably in a link to espn or msnbc) that this year’s finals had the lowest viewer ratings for an NBA finals in a long time.

Cheers!
