Now that Manu's season is over, who will win the title?

[lefty]

:lobt2::lobt2::lobt2::lobt2:

[sook]

Wow word circulates pretty fast. I don't know, i don't think much has changed. Manu was palying hurt and wasn't impacting the team as much as he could have. Just like T-Mac, i don't think this hurts the spur's chances THAT much.

[Findog]

The Philadelphia 76ers are no doubt licking their chops upon hearing this news.

lol

[iggypop123]

i dont know but this makes me confident about the lakers

"this is Phil's seventh 60-win season ... with each of the previous six leading to a title"

[sook]

lol

Ok, he isn't as much of a Drama Queen but you could tell how much we expected out of Tmac, especially after He carried the team last season. He tried coming back only to be getting microfracture surgery :whine

[lefty]

i dont know but this makes me confident about the lakers

"this is Phil's seventh 60-win season ... with each of the previous six leading to a title"

Barring injuries, Lakers have no excuse not to win it all this year.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Is there even a reason to watch the West playoffs this year?

[Spursmania]

This is the Lakers LOB year. Congratulations.:depressed

[Ghazi]

Cleveland or Boston.

This almost assures the lakers will win the west (they were pretty much a lock anyway), but not the championship. Boston Cleveland AND Orlando are superior teams.

[SPURS21]

Even with Manu healthy we weren't real contenders. It's between Cleveland and LA. LA will likely take the title

[Juanobili]

Cleveland

[lefty]

Cavs should win the East, but there is NO WAY they'll beat the Lakers

Classless jerks like you give the handful of decent ST LA posters a bad name.

You will probably disappear just like you did when the Lakers disappeared against Boston last year for several months. You will not be missed around here scumbag.

[CubanMustGo]

Manu's injury, while crushing the hopes of Spurs fans, really won't change much of anything as far as the Finals go. Can't see Mike Brown outcoaching Phil, can't see the assorted nuts playing alongside LeBron overcoming the Lakers' role players. 4-2 LA.

[Obstructed_View]

Clearly only a moron could fail to understand the concept of a decade being ten years. The first year AD was 1, not 0, therefore every decade begins with 1. That means 2000 is year 10 of the 90s. I thought you wanted to be correct when you started splitting hairs. If you're going to imply that "the decade" means specifically the first decade of the twenty-first century rather than the last ten years, then you have to do it correctly, and the original statement that the Spurs have won more titles than the Lakers is still correct.

[cobbler]

I am saddened by the news of Manu's injury. I really was hoping for a WCF match between 2 healthy Laker and Spurs teams. Would have been a classic end of the decade. Good luck Manu and hopes for a speedy recovery!

What's incredible this year is that the only team in the east that LA clearly has a psychological advantage over is Cleveland, and they're probably going to beat all the other teams. If Kobe doesn't win it all, I'm really going to enjoy the next year.

A decade is a period of ten years. The word is derived from the late Latin decas, from Greek decas, from deca. The other words for spans of years also come from Latin: lustrum (5 years), century (100 years), millennium (1000 years). The term usually refers to a period of ten years starting at a multiple of ten. For example, "the 1950s" refers to 1950 through to 1959 (inclusive).

Use some common sense please. If i was to ask you to name the the best album of the 60's are you going to give me an album from 1970? Regardless of when the the calendar started, it is cleary assumed that when you are talking the 60's, 70's, 80's etc... you are talking 60 thru 69, 70 thru 79 etc.

I mean come on.... I cannot think of anyone (other than you) who would consider 1980 as part of the 70's.

The Julian calendar was instituted by Julius Caesar more than 2,000 years ago, in what is now known as 46 B.C. More than 800 years later, in the time of Charlemagne, it was officially decided to renumber the years of the Julian calendar, beginning with the supposed birth of Christ. At that time, European counting was based on a decimal system, with ten basic numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. At that time, there was no number 0.

The first year of this calendar was identified by the first number in the number system, the number 1. The first decade ('deca' = ten in Greek) therefore ended with the tenth number, 10. The first century ('cent' = hundred in Latin) therefore ended with the end of the tenth decade, with the hundredth number, 100. The first millennium ('mille' = thousand in Latin) therefore ended with the end of the tenth century, with the thousandth number, 1000.

Following this reasoning, the year 1990 would be considered not the first year of the decade of the 90's, but the last year of the decade of the 80's, and the year 2,000 would be considered not the first year of the third millennium, but the last year of the second millennium.

This is a reasonable and valid way to believe. There is historical justification for this. Most, is not all, official time organizations, such as the Greenwich Royal Observatory and the U.S. Naval Observatory, use this justification as the 'correct' line of reasoning.

Thanks for playing. Lakers lose either way you want to do it.

By the way, you might need to look up the word theological.

[Bob Lanier]

The argument that "the nineties" as a category is somehow derived directly from the calendrical system purportedly based on the activities of the Christian god isn't theological?

Yes, we've all played the oh-so-fun water cooler games about how "the turn of the millennium" was actually on some particular date. But what does that have to do with "the nineteen-nineties" or "the two thousands", except by virtue of satisfying some Assburger fixation on number-of-titles-in-a-decade?

[Obstructed_View]

The argument that "the nineties" as a category is somehow derived directly from the calendrical system purportedly based on the activities of the Christian god isn't theological?

It's about the number system; the event that was the starting point is immaterial, and is by the way the birth of a historical figure who was an actual person, not the activities of a god.

I agree, and since the Assburger Laker fan that took issue with someone elses comment about titles "this decade" and went to the trouble to make a little chart about it, I figured he might as well do it correctly. I have a feeling that he's not any smarter than you are, and won't therefore accept the correction. The Lakers are really great, though. :lol

[bostonguy]

If Bynum returns and can stay healthy, it is going to be the Los Angeles Lakers. ONLY Boston will give LA a "hard time" if they somehow make it back to the finals. Cavs just dont match up well with the Lakers and Orlando isnt ready yet.

You're right Bostonguy. I think Bynum is going to be the main key for the Lakers to win it this season. I saw it last year how Boston's big men dominated the Lakers. This season Boston ain't the same but could still give trouble to the Lakers if they don't get Bynum back in the playoffs. Everybody's questions are about to get answered in a matter of weeks.

Thank you for showing some common sense. Obstructed obviously doesn't have any. And to think he's using his argument thinking it somehow diminishes the whole team of the decade debate. We all know the 90's are the 90's... i.e. 90 through 99. As I said, its just common sense and a way to classify a decade as you stated, linguistically. Nobody refers to 1970 being in the 60's, 1990 being in the 80's. Nobody! Well, one! Again, I use a simple example if you were to ask someone to name the song of the 60's would anyone logically name off a tune from 1970? No. Well, one! In all his haste to dilude the argument of the team of the decade he doesnt even grasp that by his theological and arithmetical logic, the Lakers have a very strong possibility of winning this year and 2010 and becomming the DOMINATE team of the decade. :wow

:lobt2::lobt2::lobt2::lobt2:I'm sure it's a comforting cop-out sort of thought, but even a 100% Manu wouldn't be enough to counteract all the Spurs' shortcomings enough to win a title.

Manu healthy or not, this Spurs team is not and will not be a title team again without some serious tweaking. Matt Bonner can only do so much to save the franchise, lol.

But some Spurs fans love to fall back on the injury excuse, as if without the injury, the title was San Antonio's. Pretty predicatable and pretty easy to swat away. Sorry about Manu, but it didn't really matter.

That said, the only chance the Spurs had was with Manu, so Kobe's got another road paved out ahead of him. Maybe he can actually do it this time.

Maybe he can actually do it this time.I think most of that road paved in front of Kobe, was paved in part by Kobe though. Last year wasn't as easy as everyone thinks it is, man. Kobe played most of last season that most cats would've shutdown in favor of season-ending surgery. Mitch Kupchak has built a deep, talented, tough team around his superstar and healthy Spurs or not, the Lakers, even with out Bynum & Ariza last year, and Bynuim again this year, are still easily the best team in the West. So no road was paved and no red carpet was laid. The Lakers front office simply put the pieces of a champion together, and championship-caliber teams make their own way, regardless of what injuries they have or what is going on elsewhere in the league. Winning it is more about the Lakers stepping up as a team than it is Kobe stepping up as a superstar. Last year's failure was about not defending and rebounding, so Bynum's injury was an easy cop-out. Whether he's here or not, we're equipped and capable of beating anybody in a series. So it's time to show and prove as a unit.

The season is an 82-game grind. Either you survive or you don't. But well-built teams don't use the injury excuse.

That's your own opinion. But I don't see any of those teams taking the Lakers pass six games. Nuggets can't win in LA nor the Blazers. The Jazz can't win on the road, except in NO. Rockets well we might sweep em' again. And the Spurs well what can I say. It ain't happening.

That is one of the dumbest arguements i have seen. The rockets havent made it out of the 1st round for long time. What difference does it make that they swept in regular season?

Damn I was just responding to a dumb reply like the Lakers barely beating the Clippers by 3. and it happened to be a Rockets making those remarks. So that respond was made for him and you took it up the ass man!

the news of Manu is disheartening, but today, it doesn't affect me in the least. today is a glorious day, as my favorite player ever just made the HOF.

Congratulations David Robinson.

Tomorrow, I will begin mourning the Manu injury.

The Cavs 4-2 over the Lakers!!!

Cleveland or Boston.

This almost assures the lakers will win the west (they were pretty much a lock anyway), but not the championship. Boston Cleveland AND Orlando are superior teams.

Orlando LOL
one they barely won both games vs us ...
Both games they had Nelson ..Rafer alston is not Leading teh Magic to a title ...sorry. if magic make ECF that is a GREAT season especially with your PG out ...

Lakers or Cavs

big blow for the spurs. i dont think they have a chance of winning it now. TD and TP can only take them so far

[Texas_Ranger]

Spurs.

Thanks for the vote of confidence to some of you Spurs fans in here. It is appreciated. Too bad for Manu. Was really looking forward to a epic battle with you guys (but hey, one never knows what could happen, the playoffs haven't even started).

I see a tough road either way you slice it. I don't fear the Blazers or the Jazz but if I had to pick the team that does worry me, it's the Blazers. Should we meet and they take just one game at Staples, it may be a long series. Blazers are good. I don't understand how some folks just brush them aside. They are a very capable team. Denver? Not a powerful team but another capable team nonetheless.

Anyway Spurs fan, thanks for the props. Manu will be fine. Ignore the so-called experts. Dude will be fine and ready for next season with a passion.
