Alright, let's both cool out on the snippiness.
Let's clear this up. The Spurs are the best team in basketball and Tim Duncan is the best player. I recognize that, and wasn't questioning the quality of either. My contention is merely that it was a poorly played (and bland) series (with the exception of Duncan's remarkable performance in the 6th and final game). Perhaps the matchup between the two teams is just bad chemistry, or perhaps both teams weren't playing very well for whatever reason.
Capiche?

Shooting percentages were awful on both sides. After watching most of the games leading up to the finals, I thought both teams had played better before the finals. You?

Yeah. ...No doubt about it, in fact.
The Spurs are a very good young team, and they're $14 million under the salary cap for next year, so they'll probably get even better (depending on who they sign). There's dynasty potential here, if everything falls into place just right.

But where will Jason Kidd end up? He sounded less than enthusiastic about staying in Jersey. I hate the first month of the season, peering at the screen and saying "Who's that guy?" "When did we get him?" "Where's so-and-so?".

Kidd played
horribly in the finals, so I'd imagine that the Spurs are less enthusiastic about the possibility of signing the guy now. There's a short list of about 4 or 5 teams, but I don't know where he'll end up. ....but I'm pretty sure he's outta Jersey.
Basketball needs new rivalries, both individual and team. Right now it has none, although Shaq vs. Duncan is probably the closest thing.

LOL...that was a good piece, and it was actually very pro-Spurs.

Looks to me like Mr. Harvey nailed it.
I won't speak for Mojo, but, any criticism I voice with respect to this year's Finals has nothing to do with the Spurs or it's players nor NJ and theirs.......it just seemed that, for whatever reason, the series was a lackluster, uninspired affair.
Maybe if Jewel had played a more prominent part.

Hockey should be played on natural ice and viewed by natural light. Yeah, I need about a case of Natural Ice and Natural Light to enjoy hockey. :-)
