Let me get this out of the way first. I really don’t want to see the Nets vs. the Suns in the NBA Finals. Many Spurs fans agree: Only 3% of Spurs Nation wanted to see the Nets come out of the East, and only 14% wanted the Suns out of the West. The most painful part of a Nets-Suns Finals match-up would be having to root for Chris Paul and their Spurs-hating owner, Robert Sarver.
Luckily, we have three Spurs favorites standing in the way as of Saturday afternoon. With a throw-back defensive struggle, Coach Bud’s Bucks and Bryn Forbes stayed alive against the Nets Thursday night.
