Pick your Poison

Pick your Poison

                It finally happened! The evil, unthinkable act of horror will be showcased at the NBA Finals. The San Antonio Spurs will face off against the Miami Heat. If you are a Mavs fan, this must be painful to watch. But, if you had to pick, who do you pick?

                If you are a sports fan, you will always look for person to root for if your team isn’t playing. That is just human nature and it won’t change. But, this year is that one rare example of wishing for the option of killing yourself. On one corner is the Maverick’s arch rival and in-state nemesis the San Antonio Spurs. Not only have the Spurs won four championships and have been a thorn for the Mavs in the playoffs, they continue to show how much more better their front office is after being so consistent at winning for 13 years.  On the other side, you have their Finals rival, the Miami Heat who “beat” the Mavs with help from the Refs and the epic revenge in 2011 when they beat the star studded big Three of the Heat. So who will I root for?

                Simple answer, I will be rooting for the Heat. The Spurs for years have made me sick. They have won four championships in 13 years and they never seem to get old. Gregg Popovich must have installed the fountain of youth in the locker room. They also find players you never hear d of and put them in positions that make them stars. I might respect them but I sure do I hate their guts!

                So it’s a simple, go root for the Heat. It was inevitable and you can say they only won because they colluded and built a super team. You don’t need Spurs fans throwing in Mavs fan’s faces their 5 championships, that plain just hurts.
