Does anyone know where I can find streaming audio for the NBA finals? I'm at work and I don't have a radio.

P.S. I'm predicting Spurs in 6.

NBA Finals

Look in the upper right hand corner of the web page...

I don't like either team, but I think SA will win in 6 too.

Thanks. Remind me to rep you. I've given out too much already.

Go Pistons!! Though it's unlikely I'll watch any games. Late spring, summer and early fall will always be dedicated to soccer! BYU football games may cause a slight amount of internal turmoil, but that's it.

I am cheering for the Spurs because Manu Ginobili has long been my favorite player not on the Jazz. I think it started his rookie year when I thought he must be Italian... I'm sure his heritage is, by the way.

Spurs, all the way.

I was born in West Texas so the Spurs are my team. I was in High School in Salt Lake when the Jazz showed up, and I support them, but the Spurs are my team.

I don't even care that much about the NBA, so I just support my team. Just like the Cowboys and the NFL.

I don't really care who wins, I'm a sports fan and watch for the love of the game, but MAN! was that a terrible and horrible game to watch. The pure pain and agony of actually watching all four quarters. I actually had to turn the channel and ended up watching some even worse throw-back music show on NBC. That's how bad it was. I hope it gets better. I'll take the Spurs in 6.

That seems to be a common opinion, but I didn't feel that way at all! You seriously didn't get excited at all by Ginobili's 2nd half performance? That guy has got to be in the top 10 most exciting Basketballers to watch.

I'm not one of those guys trying to say that "This is the way basketball is supposed to be played, and anyone who doesn't get it just doesn't understand the sport," but at the same time I wonder:

Do you watch basketball for the game or for the entertainment? Do you have to have a controversial player to be shocked by, or two big numbers on the scoreboard? I mean the Spurs and the Pistons play this way all year long and guess what? They win, and they keep winning and winning until they are in the finals. Should they change the way they play because it isn't sexy enough for the casual fan? I say hell no, you play to win.

These are the two best defensive teams in the NBA. I don't expect a high scoring affair. I respect both teams and their coaches. I don't really care who wins, but I think the Spurs will. High scoring affairs are entertaining for certain, but I love a good defensive battle too.
