SAN ANTONIO -- So, here we are, just one more run-of-the-mill Texas execution away from the first All ABA-NBA Finals. Somewhere, Dave DeBusschere, George Mikan and the rest of the red, white and blue revue are beaming.
Even since deboning Detroit and running a Ripley's-like playoff win streak to 10 games, the chant around the Association has been, "Why Not The Nets?"
Good question. While unconvinced the Nets are capable of upsetting the Spurs -- barring Tim Duncan's unforeseen disappearance or dismantling -- they're playing so well I figure this is one championship round they have got a great chance of not being swept in.
