GAME OVER.

So the 2006-07 NBA Season is officially over.

The San Antonio Spurs are the best team in the league, I said that from the beginning. I had a feeling Detroit could pull out a title this year before the playoffs actually began and during the beginning of them. Though if you go back to day one, San Antonio was my choice. San Antonio was a lot of people's choice. San Antonio is the smart choice.

They're the best basketball team in the world, and over the course of this past decade, have been the most consistent.

People in San Antonio must never forget that '96-'97 season where David Robinson played all of six games, man did that work out for the best. #1 Pick equals Timmy D, and 10 years later, how can you complain?

Cleveland turned a lot of heads and I would say shocked many by making it to the NBA Finals. Their fans should be proud, they overachieved, and will continue to get better. They had a chance to compete with the Spurs, but since Bruce Bowen exsists, that can't happen (sorry LeBron, but Bruce Bowen owns you. He also owns 28 other top scorers in the league).

Team's like Phoenix, Detroit and Miami really took craps on themselves when it counted, some a little more premature than others.

Dallas is in a whole 'nother galaxy when it comes to taking a crap on themselves. Though if anything Dallas helped give us the best memory of the 2007 NBA Playoffs. We got to see a young team like Golden State play exciting basketball, and we got to see a team with rejuivnation. They should be proud, and hopefully they can build on this, and Snoop Dogg and others can continue to ride the bandwagon like a bunch of cornballs.

The Bulls got better, but still need more. Nobody knows how the Magic got into the playoffs! Nobody knows how the Nets made it to the second round of the playoffs! Kevin Garnett doesn't just not get out of the first round now, he just stopped making the playoffs all together.

The Nuggets have become the 1999 Portland Trailblazers, except they don't go to jail as much. Role players help, maybe you should quit loading up on massive contract players and junk, and add more Steve Blakes to your team.

Speaking of the Nuggets, Carmello's hit and run was obviously a highlight of the year. Jared Jeffries still is wondering if he really chased that grown man on a basketball court or not.
-------

All in all (and I don't have the numbers handy), but I do not ever remember a season where this many primary contributing players missed so much time, whether injuries or suspensions. There was a bundle of injuries this year, to a variety of major players in this league. It was weird. If you play fantasy basketball you definitely saw it, but if not, I bet you noticed too.

Regardless, the right team won the title in the end. Kobe had some amazing games, but his team still sucks. Yao Ming, if he can stay healthy is going to be great and how can people not love the fact that...THE UTAH JAZZ ARE BACK!

A good season all in all, but hopefully next year will be better.

On to the draft, and of course a bunch of summer trades and free agent signings.
