Spurs Beat the Suns in the 2nd Round May 18
The San Antonio Spurs are going to the Western Conference Finals. They are one step away from going to the NBA Finals for the fourth time. Assuming they go and win, this will give Tim Duncan his fourth NBA title. The Spurs beat the Phoenix Suns in the second round to get to the conference finals. I am a very big Spurs fan having grown up outside of San Antonio.
It is kind of hard being a Spurs fan that lives in Dallas. Most people are obviously Mavericks fans. This intensified over the past few years. It started with the Mavs finally beating the Spurs in the playoffs last year, but imploding in the finals against the Miami Heat. Then this season the Mavs won a ton of games and had the best regular-season record, but imploding again this time in the first round. You can read about my thoughts on the Mavs in some of my earlier blog posts. What makes it hard is that Spurs have been the Mavs nemesis over the years.
Anyway congrats to the Spurs! I hope they walk over the Utah Jazz and whoever the Eastern Conference brings to the finals. Go Spurs!
