Well I supposed the writing was on the wall after Game 4. I can't deny that but I'm going to say that the main reason Spurs lost is because they've just WASTED TOO MANY CHANCES.
The dominance that they have shown during the Suns was never there to be seen.
So, we will just jave to look forward to next season. After they did before, they can do it again, right?
Of course, next season I'll be looking at the arrival of Tiago Splitter. I hear he is an excellent player from Brazil but based in Spain.
Overall it has been a exciting season to watch.
Now both Manu & Oberto can look forward to the Olympics.
Of course you opinion about the game is always welcomed...
