Spurs won't be winning any more titles anytime soon with Rasho at 5, yet they're still way attractive. It's a slap in the face. No respect for the Wolves.
And better team?
Who was first seed?
And don't talk to me about last year, unless the Lakers can make it to the Finals again.

The Spurs and the Wolves both got eliminated by the Lakers 4-2. The Spurs kicked the Lakers ass in the 2 that they won and the Lakers let the Wolves have the 2 that they won because they weren't must-win games. The only reason the Wolves made it further is because they didn't have to play the Lakers in the 2nd round. If you could stop being biased for one second and put yourself in an NBA players shoes, what team would you want to play for. The unproven Wolves who before last year had 7 straight first-round exits, or the Spurs who had 2 championships in 5 years. Poppovich, Duncan, and Parker are proven winners. Garnett has proven he can't win unless he's surrounded by great players. Duncan won a championship with Tony Parker and a bunch of nobodys. Don't wanna hear the David Robinson argument because he was washed up in 2003. And I don't even think you can deny that Pops is a better coach than Saunders.
