What about the '02-'03 Syracuse NCAA Basketball team? They won the National Championship with Carmello Anthony that year.

I grew up a fan of both their football and basketball. VERY happy to see them win it all, though I honestly thought they were a year away. I didn't expect them to defeat THREE powerful Big 12 teams in Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas.

The Syracuse football team is now in disarray and needs to get rid of Greg Robinson to become what they used to be- a consistent top 10-20 team.

I agree. The Carrier Dome and folks of upstate NY deserve better.

Back on topic, guys.

Which team getting up in years is going to struggle more this year- Suns or Spurs?

Probably the Spurs.

BTW, you could probably put the Mavs in that question also.

This is not starting out well in Portland.

Bill Simmons also picked the Cavs over the Hornets in the NBA Finals:

For this year anyhow.
