Doesn't say much when Shaq runs a train through those two to a 3peat.
I'm talking just the 4,5 position.

Asik and Anthony Davis.
Nah...TD and DROB still the best
Nonsense kobe had more to do with the lakers getting out of the west, then shaq dominated the rik smits of the world and took all the credit. Not to mention shaq got away with murder.
When Robinson was old and injured and the Spurs were starting guys like Danny Ferry, Jerome Kersey, Antonio Daniels, Steve Smith, and a 19 year-old Tony Parker.
Elliott was a really good defender too man.
Tell me who hit the big shots? Got the big steal? even the big rebound and certainly the free throws that count.
And just imagine if DROB was still in his prime.
Robert Horry Derek Fisher
Prime DRob together with prime TD would have been a sight to see.
I think you could make the case that DRob was in his prime in 99. Or at least at the tail end of it. Duncan got hurt the next season, and after that DRob was never the same. But in 1999 his averages were 15 and 10 with 2.5 blocks per. Most likely would have been much higher had he not given Tim the reins.
99 twin towers > all and swept Shaq/Kobe, I still believe that team can give 2001 Lakers compe ion.
After that DRob was never the same, 00-02 Spurs had aging wings similar to 08-11, Duncan still played Shaq very well, if you look at his stats he was very even against Shaq in 01 and 02. But Spurs had no answer for Kobe until Bowen, Parker and Ginobili came to play.
Laimbeer and Rodman?
Duncan was hurt and didn't play in 2000, and by 2001 the Spurs backcourt was rebuilding. People forget Mario Elie was a great defender and he had a certain toughness and physical style the Spurs did not have before Ahem Del Negro.
That 99 team would let guys get to the baseline and then just smother them. Opponents got in deep underneath, leaned out because they were point blank at the rim, and then promptly got their packed. That was one of a defensive team. I loved how we ran at guys forcing them to face the duo. Then David's back went bad. Never the same player.
Yes. Half the s on here will sell you the splitter defense and say tim tiago...
It was an amazing feeling to know a game would be close with 3 or 4 minutes to go, knowing the other team would be lucky to get another bucket the rest of the game. Duncan and DRob were amazing.
Elvin Hayes and Wes Unseld (Bullets) and Dave Cowens and Paul Silas (Celtics) in the 70s were really tough defensive front court players too.
Those 2000 to 2002 Spurs backcourts were so disgusting, tbh..ugh..
It's a shame that people forget how bad the Spurs' perimeter players were when discussing the Shaq-Kobe Lakers killing the Spurs..
If we had decent perimeter help we could have prevented the Lakers dynasty.
99 twin-towers was the best .
The backcourt was so awful s were ming in their pants over landing Derek Anderson
