"The last time the teams played each other in the postseason was 1976,: when Julius Erving's Nets defeated George Gervin's Spurs in seven games in the ABA semifinals. Game 7 was played on April 24, 1976. The next day, Tim Duncan was born." This year's NBA Finals is the first-ever Finals matchup between former ABA teams. I hope they use the red, white, and blue basketball.

Only if Timmy Duncan grows an afro real quick. Are we doing predictions? I'm saying San Antone in 6. Maybe 5, but I'll say six. That's not necessarily the turnout I'd like though.
