[Lakers999]

now that manu has a injury and prolly will make a come back before the season ends and for the playoffs and with that notion the spurs AS A TEAM will get their asses handed to them by the los angeles lakers will the same excuse arise from die hard spurs fans that "Manu's Hurt thats why we lost! will you spurs fans actually cough that tired old excuse again? just as much as the ref excuse? and fisher piggy backing brent barry excuse?


if thats so..

in the event that we lose can we say we didnt have BYNUM? :rolleyes..

Rest assure, if the Lakers are eliminated during the postseason, the Laker faithful will certainly be bringing up "we didn't have Bynum for most of the season". Whining/excuses are not the exclusive of San Antonio fans. :king

- Kobe is an alleged rapist..

- Kobe snitches on teammates for no reason..

- Kobe throws his teammates under the bus..

- Kobe has choked in virtually every NBA finals he's been in, and had arguably the worst performance of all-time in the 2004 finals..

- Kobe has never led a team to a title as a #1 option..

- Magic Johnson is an adulterer with HIV..

- the Lakers current core has 0 titles..

One thing is for damn sure. If the Spurs lose, their whiny fans will find a way to come up with any excuse other than the fact that the better team won. They are simply incapable of admitting they lost to a better team.

same class?..you can't compare them because they are 2 completely different players. How many legit centers are there in the NBA as opposed to 2-guards? Bynum adds another dimension to the game, and when he's in there manu and tony are strictly jump-shooters. I do believe, however, that Manu is more valuable to your team than Bynum currently is to ours (because LA is still more talented, deeper, better coached, etc), but you still can't compare them.

Please, you're saying that Tony and a healthy Manu would be intimidated by Bynum in a 7-game series? Manu and Tony once took on the dynasty of the Lakers and drove in there at will against Shaq in his prime, and succeeded. Would Bynum make the series tougher? Yes. But not totally out of the reach for the Spurs.

But not totally out of the reach for the Spurs.

If Bynum is back for the series (I stress "if" cause he tends to heal slow) the Spurs can't compete down low. They are too small and I really thought Pop and RC would make a move for a big man. Even if Manu is healthy (and I fully expect him to be), how is he gonna shore up your undersized frontcourt? SA will play LA tough, they always do--but all teams being healthy they simply dont have the horses to take 4 of 7.

I'm not an excuse maker, I accepted the loss..everybody knows the Lakers are better than us..but don't you guys find it ridiculous how insecure their fans are? they keep making threads every week about how the Lakers are better than us, as if we don't know that..

why are you Laker fans so insecure?..

it's also funny that you talk about excuses..all I heard was how much you guys missed Bynum vs. Boston, and how the refs favored the Celtics..hypocrites?..

honestly, stop being so insecure..it's not surprising, since you guys obviously have problems..cheering for a rapist isn't normal for regular human beings..but if you're gonna have all these problems, can you please leave us out? you guys are annoying..

do you get a prize for talking about how the Lakers are better than the Spurs? last I checked, the Lakers core has 0 titles..is there something we're supposed to envy?..

you would think the fans of a team that has shown they are better than us wouldn't constantly have the Spurs on their minds..

There are no excuses for any losses. The Fisher foul not called certainly altered the series, and bad officiating always alters series....but ultimately what cost the Spurs the Lakers series was not officiating, or non-calls, or even the Lakers being a better team, because they are not by a long shot.

The Lakers just made their shots and we didn't, end of story.

No excuses. Just missed a couple of shots here and there.

Also, Kobe has proven to everyone that he can't win a championship without a Shaq type of player. Andrew Bynum is no Shaq. 2004 Finals fail and 2008 Finals fail. I think it's time to rebuild the Lakers.

agree and disagree. The overhyping comes w/ the territory when you're a young kid and you play in a major market. Before he got injured he was making great strides--becoming an effective shot-blocker and good help defender, and refining his post game. I believe he'll be a 20-10 and maybe even a 25-10 if he continues to improve his footwork. Remember guys, he's only 21 y/o.

I love how a Laker fan of all people posts a youtube video of an alleged Tim Donaghy reffing scandal...does Lakers Kings 2002 ring a bell?You know...the one that the official in question actually said was rigged? lolz.

now that manu has a injured knee and prolly will make a come back before the season ends and for the playoffs and with that notion the spurs AS A TEAM will get their asses handed to them by the los angeles lakers will the same excuse arise from die hard spurs fans that "Manu's Hurt thats why we lost! will you spurs fans actually cough that tired old excuse again? just as much as the ref excuse? and fisher piggy backing brent barry excuse?


if thats so..

in the event that we lose can we say we didnt have BYNUM? :rolleyes..



fucking pathetic....

[crc21209]

neither did kobe crying had anything to do with it


wasnt that picture was when he lost the conf finals from 03. yeah i can understand the tears losing after 3 years some of you spurs fans are prolly use to inconsistency


The Spurs inconsistent? Um...I think you have your cheap ass team mixed up with ours....lets take a look at whos been more "inconsistent" since 2003.

Spurs

2003- NBA Champions
2004- Lost in Conf. Semis to Lakers
2005- NBA Champions
2006- Lost in Conf. Semis to Mavs
2007- NBA Champions
2008- Lost in Conf. Finals to Lakers


Lakers

2003- Lost in Conf. Semis to Spurs
2004- Lost in NBA Finals to Pistons
2005- DID NOT MAKE PLAYOFFS
2006- 1ST ROUND LOSS to Suns
2007- 1ST ROUND LOSS to Suns
2008- Lost in NBA Finals to Celtics

Looks to me like the Lakers have been the more inconsistent team huh? :lol


:flag::lobt2:

[underdawg]

Are you on some kind of personal mission to get every single Spurs fan to admit the Lakers are a better basketball team? Christ, you've been up to this for how many months now? If I tell you the Lakers are better, will you give it a rest? Or is it gonna take some kinda signed petition? I don't understand this incessant need to get Spurs fans to agree with you. STFU already.

I don't mind admitting they're better right now as we have with other teams many years before - I just think it's funny how much worth some people put into the regular season. The Lakers are winning right now and they have the best record - no argument, but until they win it Laker fans need to have perspective. The funny thing is that we are/were never considered the best team (even when we were,) so who cares if some tool thinks the team he roots for is better than the team we root for?

[underdawg]

I personally ruined Bynum's season? :lmao

Then that must mean you jinxed Manu for laughing and celebrating when Bynum went down.

I was being just a tad facetious - although, let it be said I never celebrated Bynum being hurt. I'd rather curb stomp the little yellow daisy jersey wearing fakers full strength with no excuses for the good ole TEXAS wood shed beating the Spurs will give them.

I like how you conveniently start at 2003 to support your argument. Weak.

How about only 2 years w/o a playoff appearance since 1975? How's that for consistency. See, I can do that too!

The "inconsistency" HE (not I, I think both LA and SA have been the class of the league the last 10 years) is referring to is your inability to repeat as champs, given 4 chances to do so

[Brazil]

Dear spurs fans

why oh why you waste your time answering a 300 posts get a life useless lakers troll ?

[crc21209]

Inconsistency is missing the playoffs one year totally as well as having two 1st round exits. The Spurs have advanced to at least the 2nd round almost every year of the Tim Duncan era, dont give me this 1975 bullshit, you probably werent even born then, and dont bring up the "Minneapolis" era either like other Faker fans do. Peace. I'm out.

The real question to laker fan is - if they hadn't won back to back in '87 and '88, would the lakers of the 80's be considered a dynasty? I guarantee that everyone of those hypocritical, bandwagon, medicinal pot smokin', dignity selling out fans would say, "Yes!"

[DeadlyDynasty]

How many teams have repeated in the NBA? How many have won 4 over a span of 9 years? ok then...

Both are impressive feats, and the greatest teams did both:
All the greatest NBA dynasties were able to defend their title at some point.
Minneapolis Lakers
Boston Celtics (60's)
Los Angeles Lakers (80's)
Chicago Bulls (90's)

Los Angeles Lakers (00's)--5 finals appearances and 3 titles (including a 3-peat) since 2000. A win this year(and as of now we are the prohibitive faves) gives them 4/6 in 9 years:wow:wow.


San Antonio Spurs (00's): 4 titles since 1999 (very impressive), but not one defended title

how is that skating the question? Hypotheticals are useless in an argument. If the Buffalo Bills won those superbowls they'd be one of the greatest dynasties ever!!!...didn't happen, so it's a moot point.

Houston (and Detroit) only won 2 titles--I don't know anyone who would call 2 titles a dynasty.

Ok, no hypothetical. Were the Lakers a dynasty in the 80's because they won 5 rings or because they won a back to back during those 5 rings?

good question...and the answer is both. 5 titles and 8 appearances in one decade is quite a feat. Hell, go watch the old NBA films (sometimes the games are on espn classic or NBATV). Pat Riley and the Lakers stressed how important it was for them to repeat as champions, saying something like (and i'm paraphrasing): "it's the only thing we've yet to do."

Listen man, I'm not trying to get in a shouting match w/ you about all this. What the Spurs have done the last 10 years is nothing short of spectacular. I just personally feel (one man's opinion), that defending a title carries a legitimacy to just how dominant your team truly is/was.

That's the thing - you say both, but that's pretty tough to say the other 4 championships weren't that important until they got the 5th since it was a back to back. Sorry - if you win 5 championships in a decade, you are a dynasty regardless of back to backs. In fact the back to back was pretty meaningless since you won half of the championships that decade - much better than a back to back. The same can be said about 4 championships in a decade and having the best winning % in all of professional sports for that decade as well. No shouting match here - just logic.

Bynum is not even a factor

[amy020]

Bynum to Lakers is not as important as Manu for the Spurs.
Also,Manu will be ready for the playoffs.

[DrHouse]

There's no guarantee that Manu will be 100% for the playoffs. In fact I'd say it's just as likely he ends up limping through the playoffs like last season.

Bynum is not as important as Manu, but his impact is sizable and any Spur fan who watched the last matchup cannot deny that.

[Man In Black]

nice job on repeating those titles back to back

oh wait....:toast

Point of contention. Larry Legend NEVER went back-to-back yet his Celtics teams, just like Tim's Spurs teams, are called dynasties. RECOGNIZE.

Also, I remind you that it's now been SEVEN seasons since the Lakers have had a parade of Figueroa. Seven long ass years of not being dominant. Seven long ass years that include not even making the playoffs. Seven long ass years that Kobe has tried to bring LA a title as the main guy and ZIP, NADA...NOTHING.

Didn't know that Doc was the official declarer of dynasties. But what the fuck ever...Hey I can point out that the even though Kobe is the Lakers leader, it's OFFICIAL he's never led them to a title. Tim Duncan has 4 of them as the OFFICIAL leader of the Spurs.

Dynasties repeat.

So tell me why are Larry Legend's Celtics teams considered a dynasty since they did not? Same reason Tim's team are...because they contend every year with him as the leader. It's amazing that Tim Duncan doesn't win MVP every year. If it was more about efficiency and winning ways instead of selling fucking basketball shoes...Tim would win MVP every year, I guess he'll just continue to settle for All-NBA and All-NBA D every year for his ENTIRE CAREER.
Can Kobe say that? HELL TO THE NO. :flag:

I think it's better than repeating that one person was able to anchor two different rosters to a championship and not bitch and moan about a former teammate along with demanding a trade.

[wisnub]

I never said any excuses..do not generalise SA fans. If we won,we playing good..if we lost then i have to look at the match first..if we give everything and just got bad luck like manu foul dirk,than its ok. When Pop emptying bench in 3rd quarter just like what happened in couple of games in playoffs then we deserve to loose. There should be no excuses, i mean look at how celtics approach regular season game..they just keep coming even when they are losing.
Lakers and Spurs are both good and elite team...bragging conversation is just fucking pathetic like shit !! I dont deny Lakers will miss Bynum in playoffs. But whoever win should get all the credit, there will be no more BS needed

Yea it's a shame Duncan will never get the respect that he deserves. He's such a great player and he brings it night in and night out.

[Harry Callahan]

I like how you conveniently start at 2003 to support your argument. Weak.

How about only 2 years w/o a playoff appearance since 1975? How's that for consistency. See, I can do that too!

The "inconsistency" HE (not I, I think both LA and SA have been the class of the league the last 10 years) is referring to is your inability to repeat as champs, given 4 chances to do so

How about four championships over an 11 year period and winning at least one playoff series 10 out of 11 years (the one year losing in the first round was when Duncan was injured and not available) and being the best team in basketball over that period. The Spurs had bad teams both times and were fortunate to win the lottery when HOF type players were available.

The Lakers have missed the playoffs completely once and were drummed out in the first round several times over the last decade. The extended success for San Antonio (winning a title in 1999 and being able to get four championships through 2007) is more impressive than a short period of dominance because of the constant player turnover in basketball. The teams winning those titles had totally different rosters (outside of Duncan) going from 99 to 07. Not to mention the fact the role players changed dramatically in that period. This points to Popovich being a superior coach (P Jackson is at the top too - that's obvious).

The Lakers were the best team in basketball for a four year period (1999-2002). When a team has had one deep run in the playoffs in the last four or five years, they have not measured up to what SA has done recently. Not to mention the fact that LA had very little turnover from 99 to 03. They had to recruit over the hill Hall of Famers in 2003-2004 AND have the refs swallow their whistles AND have a questionable buzzer beater shot to beat SA that year in the playoffs.

San Antonio has been more effective with less pure talent than the Lakers since Duncan arrived in 1997.

The recent Lakers "mini-dynasty" was the by-product of screwing over the Orlando Magic and having a dope like Bob Bass running the Charlotte Hornets in 1996. If you wonder what I am talking about, then you don't know much about basketball.

Laker "fans" rip the Spurs for supposedly "tanking seasons" in 1986 and 1996 to get the #1 pick the following year. The 86 team legitimately stunk and the 96 team had its star player BREAK HIS FOOT and then have knee/back problems after that. Their second best player (Sean Elliott) was dogged with knee problems and missed half the season.

The Lakers historically have preyed on financially strapped franchises. Their success has been based on stealing away players like Wilt Chamberlain, Jabbar, and Shaq (even Gasol) in exchange for either nothing or spare parts players. In addition, trading away washed up players to teams with incompetent management (New Orleans Jazz and Cleveland Cavs) for future #1 picks turned into guys like Magic Johnson, James Worthy, and Byron Scott.


The Lakers have always had a little "extra help" along the way that other teams have not. They have never had to "bottom out" like most teams. It's just so easy for the simple minded bandwagon fans to clutch on to a team like the Lakers. Their fans take success for granted and think it is their birthright to win every year. This getting something for nothing pattern throughout their history makes the Lakers a very unlikeable team.

[Harry Callahan]

That has nothing to do with anything.

The bottom line is the Spurs are not universally considered to be a dynasty because of the fact that they haven't repeated. I'm sorry that bothers you but those are the facts.

Dynasties repeat.

DH
Dynasty is just a word. Opinions are all you are offering here. No facts. Opinions are like assholes - everyone has one. BTW asshole is a word you do have a lot of knowledge about, since you are one.

BTW, the Spurs have been a better, more effective team since 1997 than the Lakers. It's an opinion, but I think a legitimate one that is supported by overall results.

Look at SA's regular season (approx 68%) and playoff winning percentage (approx 63%) since Duncan arrived. It's better than EVERY OTHER TEAM IN THE NBA. Four Championships. More than any other team. These are facts.

[benefactor]

I'm not going to get all wrapped up in this discussion but I will say this...dynasties are subject to interpretation. There is no written rule that says your team must repeat to be considered a dynasty. The Celtics example that was given earlier is a good one. Any basketball fan you ask would consider that team a dynasty even thought they never repeated. If winning 4 titles and have the best winning percentage of any sports franchise in any sport over a 10 year period is not a dynasty then I don't know what is.

If the Bulls, Knicks, Lakers or Celtics would have accomplished what we have since Duncan arrived there would not even be a discussion.

[Harry Callahan]

The Larry Bird Celtics did not repeat. The Bill Russell Celtics did many times. I will say that the LB Celtics had better competition than the recent Spurs teams have had to beat.

There are no excuses for any losses.

and 3 threads after when their pitiful dreams came true

I'm impressed you can count that high, fucktard laker shitbag. I'm not wishing injury on any of your precious Lakers. But I wouldn't mind if Phil got run over by a Mack truck. As for last year's WCF, I suppose that you think an unfavorable travel schedule, a gimpy starter, and horrendous officiating are supposed to be overlooked quietly by Spurs fans. Bottom line though is that the Spurs lost, and I think the vast majory of Spurs fans accept that, although of course they don't like losing. What's your excuse for the Laker's getting sodomized by the Celtics?

[xellos88330]

Bird's Celtics were at least able to make it back to the Finals in repeat years. And the competition they had to face in the 80's was far tougher than anything the Spurs have had to go through. Bird's Celtics would have repeated if their toughest competitors were the fucking Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns.

The bottom line is the Spurs can't even make the claim that they are the best team of this decade. If the Lakers win this season then they will have accomplished more than the Spurs.

4 rings and 6 Finals appearances vs 4 rings and 4 Finals appearances.

Sterling example of a San Antonio education

[Gutter92]

Only 2 teams in NBA history are undefeated in Finals when playing 3+...Lakers/Celtics are not among that number :depressed

The 2 best teams of the last 20 years are those teams...Bulls and Spurs.

[DrHouse]

You can't pinpoint when you want to start NBA history. The NBA did not start in 1999.

Going undefeated in the Finals doesn't mean anything. It's just a sad rationalization that Spur fan uses to convince himself that somehow 4 rings and 4 Finals appearances are better than 14 rings and 29 Finals appearances.

now that manu has a injured knee and prolly will make a come back before the season ends and for the playoffs and with that notion the spurs AS A TEAM will get their asses handed to them by the los angeles lakers will the same excuse arise from die hard spurs fans that "Manu's Hurt thats why we lost! will you spurs fans actually cough that tired old excuse again? just as much as the ref excuse? and fisher piggy backing brent barry excuse?


if thats so..

in the event that we lose can we say we didnt have BYNUM? :rolleyes..



fucking pathetic....

Hey idiot, get your facts straight! Manu has a stress reaction of the fibula which he will be out 2 to 3 weeks! You only beat us last year as Manu was injured and then got your asses handed to you by Boston and beaten by 40 points! :lmao Nothing to be proud of idiot!:bang

[LockBeard]

LOL at Laker fan, who has enjoyed one of the biggest markets in the NBA making it easy to build good teams taking on the little kid down south who has been more successful and respected this entire decade.

What The San Antonio Spurs are, the Lakers will NEVER be.

[DeadlyDynasty]

No what Dynasties do are contend every year.

When you get eliminated twice in the first round and miss out entirely on the playoffs for 1 season, that means...YOU DID NOT CONTEND!

Open your got damn eyes. :wow

Agree?

You probably won't but the truth is out there.



So tell me why are Larry Legend's Celtics teams considered a dynasty since they did not? Same reason Tim's team are...because they contend every year with him as the leader. It's amazing that Tim Duncan doesn't win MVP every year. If it was more about efficiency and winning ways instead of selling fucking basketball shoes...Tim would win MVP every year, I guess he'll just continue to settle for All-NBA and All-NBA D every year for his ENTIRE CAREER.
Can Kobe say that? HELL TO THE NO. :flag:

Bird's Celtics are considered a dynasty? I disagree. They were a great team but I would not call them dynastic, most especially since they were unable to repeat. By definition, Dynasty is the dominance or rule of one family (or team in this case) over a particular era. The 80's belonged to the Lakers: Five titles, 8 appearances (including a repeat). The 60's Celtics were a dynasty (the greatest in sports history), as were the 90s Bulls. The late 40s and most of 50s belong to the Minneapolis Lakers. The 70s were a grab bag of teams, nobody owning that decade.

In the 00's, it's a wash, but that'll be a moot point when LA takes #4 in 6 appearances during a 9-year span. All those teams mentioned above, including this decade's Lakers, have defended their title. The Spurs have had 4 chances to defend their title but could never play with the bullseye on their back

[sammy]

You can't pinpoint when you want to start NBA history. The NBA did not start in 1999.

Going undefeated in the Finals doesn't mean anything. It's just a sad rationalization that Spur fan uses to convince himself that somehow 4 rings and 4 Finals appearances are better than 14 rings and 29 Finals appearances.

You'll recognize the greatness of the Laker franchise as you begin to pick up the pieces of what is left of the San Antonio Spurs. You'll see just how hard it is to rebuild in this league. It took the Celtics over 2 decades to just get back to the Finals.


One thing I can say, at the least the Spurs never lost in the Finals! Fakers had two chances and lost to Detroit in 2004 and Boston in 2008! Nothing to be proud of! Both of those Finals appearance, they got their asses handed to them!:lmao:lol:rollin

And somehow you concluded that repeating is a requisite qualifier? Sorry you fail badly. If anything your definition leads one to conclude that an extended period of time is needed to evaluate a body of work rather than a short one.

A hypothetical for you. If the Spurs were to win this year, that would make it 4 out of 7. Is 4 out of 7 every other year < 3 straight? You used the word era as part of your definition above. So is an era more closely approximated by a 3 year span or 7 years?

Just curious......

Ok, let's break this down...
1. They forgot there were other games because "they played the Spurs so hard":rollin The Spurs were done in 5 games and we were beaten by the better team. Boston was the best team in the NBA wire-to-wire that year and they exposed our lack of rebounding and interior D (something SA was unable to do).
2. "gang up on the last team you beat to make yourself feel better as fans of a team that came in second." WTF are you talking about? If you don't like the back and forth banter than don't participate. How can we gang up on you ON YOUR OWN SITE?!
3.

This is why everything is so subject to interpretation. We can sit here all day with arguments about who is right and at the end of the day its in the eye of the beholder.

Everyone says that repeating matters...therefore the Spurs aren't a dynasty. Is the Spurs all-time best winning percentage over the last 10 years with 4 titles sprinkled in considered a dominant era?

Laker fans say that the Shaq/Kobe Lakers were a dynasty, but if we go by the definition is four years really an era of dominance? How long is an era? Could the Lakers now and the Lakers then be considered two separate eras because the Lakers didn't make the playoffs in '05 and got booted in the first round in the two following seasons?

Lots of questions...and the answers will always be weighted by whichever side a fan is standing on. This is probably the biggest reason I don't bother with debates like this, because no one is right.

[DeadlyDynasty]

:lol what?

Forgive me, I have to remind myself sometimes that I post on a spurs forum. Next time I'll use smaller, monosyllabic words so you can understand.

It's an endless debate man, but I love talking about it nonetheless cause it gets both sides riled up. Also doesn't hurt that I'm working dispatch today and getting paid to argue this:hat

[DrHouse]

IMHO in order to be considered a dynasty the minimum requirement must be that your team was at least the best team of that decade.

The 90's Bulls can say that, the Showtime Lakers can say that, the Russell Celtics can say that.

The '00 3-peat Lakers can't say that and neither can the Spurs. There are two seasons left to determine who is the team of THIS decade and ultimately which team we can consider to be a dynasty.

2. maybe "gang up" was the wrong word, but come on, its not like you are in Boston's site talking shit. It just seems alot of Laker fans like to come in here and taunt us, even though the Lakers couldn't finish the job. And if you Laker fans claim to no respect us or are scared, you sure do spend alot of time in here.

You missed the boat......

I proposed that assessing any "decade" is a dynamic process versus a static one, sorta like sliding a ruler which measures out 10 years along a timeline. Decades are never "through", it's a continuous thing. In your mind's eye decades can only exist within a 00 to 09 or 80 to 89, etc, frame. You can't compartmentalize time like that, it's not a discrete entity. Read my quote above closely.

Actually in sports when we talk about decades we specifically are referring to static entities (i.e. 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's) with strictly defined start/stop years.

Nobody ever talks about decades in sports the way you are describing (i.e. 1997-2007).

So when we say team of the decade it is known universally that we are referring to the 2000-2010 time frame.

Spur logic

[TD4THREE]

Spur logicOh yes, silly spurs fans for considering the last ten years a decade.:lol .:rolleyes

[Man In Black]

Bird's Celtics are considered a dynasty? I disagree. They were a great team but I would not call them dynastic, most especially since they were unable to repeat. By definition, Dynasty is the dominance or rule of one family (or team in this case) over a particular era. The 80's belonged to the Lakers: Five titles, 8 appearances (including a repeat). The 60's Celtics were a dynasty (the greatest in sports history), as were the 90s Bulls. The late 40s and most of 50s belong to the Minneapolis Lakers. The 70s were a grab bag of teams, nobody owning that decade.

In the 00's, it's a wash, but that'll be a moot point when LA takes #4 in 6 appearances during a 9-year span. All those teams mentioned above, including this decade's Lakers, have defended their title. The Spurs have had 4 chances to defend their title but could never play with the bullseye on their back
Typical of the Laker fan who has Celtic envy because he knows that LA CANNOT pass the Celtics in the Kobe era.
I mean hell, Those Minneapolis titles that you guys claim takes the cake. I remember the season that Sacto pushed the LAL to the brink and tons of Laker fans were saying that the Kings Franchise is a never had a title team, WHEN IN FACT, the franchise has one when they were based in Rochester. Except, Kings fans don't claim that like Laker fans claim Minneapolis.

If the Spurs were based in New York, then it would be talked about as a dynasty. It's a location issue, nothing more, nothing less.

You ask anyone relevant in Pro Basketball, like I have, Lets say Bob Lanier or Doctor J, or even the late great Chick Hearn... I've talked to all 3 and all of them have told me the same thing. The Bird Celtics' are a dynasty, and Doctor J and Big Bob told me that the Spurs are a dynasty as well.

now that manu has a injured knee and prolly will make a come back before the season ends and for the playoffs and with that notion the spurs AS A TEAM will get their asses handed to them by the los angeles lakers will the same excuse arise from die hard spurs fans that "Manu's Hurt thats why we lost! will you spurs fans actually cough that tired old excuse again? just as much as the ref excuse? and fisher piggy backing brent barry excuse?


if thats so..

in the event that we lose can we say we didnt have BYNUM? :rolleyes..



fucking pathetic....
:sleep

Well it was more like Laker fans rubbing it in Spurs fans faces that they beat us, because they are the better team.

Spurs fans argument was that we werent 100%. If Lakers beat us 100% then there wouldve been no excuses.

Look at how pathetic you are coming into a SPURS forum talking shit.

Please, Kings fans DID claim the Rochester Royals one so right off the bat you're full of shit. I remember that shit vividly when I used to talk smack on the forum (btw, what happened to that board?)

Yeah? well I talked to Otis at the local exxon, Betty from Citizen's Bank, and Jimbo from the Quaker Steak and Lube and they don't get how you can call the Spurs a dynasty when they couldn't sack up and defend any of their titles. Also, how can you be considered a dynasty when there's another team that's been to the finals 5 times w/ 3 Titles in the same era--and most likely gonna garner #4 to cap the decade. Here's an easy way to settle this argument: wait till the decade is over and tally the results.

:lmao at Spur fan crying about Manu being hurt last season while completely ignoring the fact that both Bynum and Ariza did not play. The playing field was equal in that series and the better team won. Had Bynum and Ariza been available to play you're looking at a 4-0 sweep. At least Manu played, and was good enough to win you one game.

I don't believe the Spurs can call themselves a dynasty until they can prove they were the best team in this decade. It's that simple. If the Lakers don't win this season or next the Spurs can call themselves the team of the decade and a dynasty for all I care. But there is no way on this planet that any Spur fan can annoint their team a dynasty when another team was better than them and accomplished more in the same fucking decade. That's ludicrous.

FYI a decade is 1-->10

2001-2010 is a decade not 2000-2010 (11 years)
The 1st year of christian calendar was "year 1" not "year 0"
The 1st decade of christian calendar was 1-10 (count on your fingers : 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10)
1st century 1-100
1st millenium 1-1000
2nd millenium 1001-2000
3rd millenium 2001... (yes the beginning of 3rd millenium was the 1st day of 2001 not the 1st day of 2000 !!!)

1st decade of 3rd millenium is 2001-2010

But a decade is also a 10-year period. (i.e. 1999-2008 is a decade)

How many seasons of NBA pro hoops have they played?


MIB + 2 NBA Legends =3

RECOGNIZE...It's simple math. When someone said, in this decade, it's linguistically correct to just go back ten years FROM THAT POINT. Since it's 2009 now, you just go back 10 years. 1999 to 2008-2009 season is 10 seasons. Since the 09 playoffs have yet to be determined, the score still stands at Spurs 4-Lakers 3.

I didn't watch a lot of laker games last year, but you can't tell me that Bynum and Ariza were as important to the lakers last year as Manu was to the Spurs. Manu was having probably his best season of his career, while Bynum and Ariza were just starting to play. That's where the difference was and it showed in the playoffs - period.

Again,
1999-2008 is a decade.

1999-2009 is a 11-year period.

So the 1st "post Jordan" decade is 1999-2008 :
4 titles for the Spurs
3 titles for the Lakers
1 title for the Pistons
1 title for the Heat
1 title for the Celtics
= 10 titles

The "official" decade is 2001-2010
3 titles for the Spurs
2 titles for the Lakers
1 title for the Pistons
1 title for the Heat
1 title for the Celtics
= 8 titles

Rethinking San Antonio
For years people have been trying to articulate exactly what the San Antonio Spurs are. Are they thorough, or just downright boring, or both? Can they be considered anything less than the most dominant force in the NBA for the past decade, at least insofar as they seem to be in complete control of whether they win or loose, each year? Is their defense the source of their dominance, or their offense? Is there, in fact, nothing at all worthy considering about them?

During the playoffs last year a freedarko blog suggested that the Spurs were important for the NBA as a kind of litmus test against which the potentially dominant teams in the league might test themselves (i.e. you are not a legit team until you can beat the Spurs in a best-of-seven series). It was an argument so clearly stated that it was unavoidable, a point so thoroughly manifest-although not obvious- that one had to agree. The Onion ran a headline just before the Spurs/Cavs Finals that indirectly prefigured this idea: "Tim Duncan Rooting for Cavaliers for Good of NBA." The Spurs swept the series and Sports Illustrated ran a headline that I thought at the time was either insulting because it was too appropriate, or appropriate because it was too insulting: "The Quiet Dynasty." Initially I took "quiet" to, at the very least, strongly suggest the fact that no one watched the Finals, or even more so that most people felt as though the best part of the Finals was that it wasn't another Pistons/Spurs series.

When I watched the Christmas Day game against the Suns-one of three games I've watched this whole year- I reconsidered that headline. Greg Poppovich's beard, Tim Duncan's overwhelming rationality, Tony Parker's belligerently effeminate tear drop all began to recede in the background as the game progressed, got interesting, then got really close towards the end and the one overwhelming mood that washed over me was the newly indelibly manifest demonstration of how little they give a shit about anyone trying to figure them out, criticize them, praise them. And then I realized what it is that they are, which had been hitherto so elusive. The Spurs are laconic.

Laconic derives from the Greek word "Lacadaemon." The Lacadaemonians are more commonly known as the Spartans, men and women who were known in ancient times just as much for their quietude as their prowess on the battlefield. Silence was for ancient writers, like Herodotus, Plutarch, Xenophon and Plato, often the most salient characteristic of the Spartans. The only rival characteristic to their reluctance to speak was, of course, their military skill. The word "laconic" consequently carries with it the alarming suggestion that the person not speaking could- without any large production- throw a spear through your head.

The way the Spurs play right now, and the way they played against the Suns on Christmas day, is, if you take the time to consider it, scary. While a loud, wild, crazy person with a gun freaks the shit out of you, a calm, quiet and determined person with a gun is horrifying. This is why no one is scared to play the Warriors, or the Nuggets from last year. The Spurs quietly amassed the second best record in a weird and unpredictable and offensively explosive conference, and continue to turn young guards and "what-could-only-be-described-as-a-San-Antonio-draft-pick" players into shockingly consistent role players.

The Spurs are often boring, but they are only boring in the way that a conversation with a Spartan would be boring. The point is that the Spartans didn't waste their time having conversations because they were too busy trying to be excellent, virtuous men and women. A testament to this is the fact that we don't have books by Spartans about Spartans, or any books at all by Spartans. The Spurs' quiet dynasty is important for the NBA precisely because of what it is: it is not "personal chemistry" or smothering defense that makes a team dominant. Those things help a team win. Dominance comes from a communal obsession with virtue, an unwavering (and thereby seemingly dull) commitment to what Plato called "the good." Such things are rare, especially in the NBA. Rarity itself is not a virtue, but virtue is.

Okay...So in 11 years, it's still Spurs 4, Lakers 3.

Thanks :flag:

[manufor3]

You can't pinpoint when you want to start NBA history. The NBA did not start in 1999.

Going undefeated in the Finals doesn't mean anything. It's just a sad rationalization that Spur fan uses to convince himself that somehow 4 rings and 4 Finals appearances are better than 14 rings and 29 Finals appearances.

You'll recognize the greatness of the Laker franchise as you begin to pick up the pieces of what is left of the San Antonio Spurs. You'll see just how hard it is to rebuild in this league. It took the Celtics over 2 decades to just get back to the Finals.

so you make it 29 time out of a longer history, and only win 14. thats less than .500

[manufor3]

this has got to be one of the most unintelligent threads ive ever read. drhouse being the main idiot of the thread

One thing is for damn sure. If the Spurs lose, their whiny fans will find a way to come up with any excuse other than the fact that the better team won. They are simply incapable of admitting they lost to a better team.


You are right. I can't stand those type of spur fans and many of them are here on this board. After the lakers stole Gasol in the rip off deal they passed the Spurs as the better team. Pop even agrees the Lakers are better.

sorry but this article comparing Spurs and Spartans is too spot on and well written to no be at least quoted

Sure they have more talent, but its how you use that talent. Pop knows how to do this. Change Pop for Phil and Lakers would win last years ship, this years ship, and a couple to follow.

Agreed. Pop is the best coach in the league every year. Couldn't believe Doc Rivers got it. I love Doc..he was a Spur...but there is no way in hell he deserved coach of the year. Before Garnett and Allen, Doc led them to a blistering 24-58 record. Come on..this is obviously not a team that wins because of coaching. And Phil is the same situation. He always coached the team with the best player. He had a chance to coach the Knicks a while back..the team he played for, and bring them back up, and turned it down, saying he didn't want to coach anymore, and that he'd never coach Kobe again. What's he doing now? Pop is a MUCH better coach.

[Lakers999]

okay its time to bring this one back.......

First of all, it's not his knee. Thanks for keeping up with the NBA. Second of all, MAN that is one long sentence! Congrats on making something not only long, but also completely stupid and devoid of structure. And and and.

:lol So if you guys lose you won't use it as an excuse. Bookmark this thread plz.

Also the Fisher foul wasn't an excuse. Unless you think the League Office was making excuses for the Spurs. Because they came out and actually said the call was blown. How often does that happen?
And how bout the fact that it is impossible to catch the ball, take a dribble, turn and and shoot in 4 tenths of a second.
