If the 0.4 shot and the And1 didn't happen, would the Spurs 5peat?

[irishock]

2004 would have been Minnesota (win) and Detroit (tough win)

2006 would have been Suns (easy win) and Miami (sweep)

[Technique]

Yeah

[midnightpulp]

No. Spurs lose to Pistons in Finals.

[Trainwreck2100]

05 spurs went to 7 games and the pistons weren't as hungry so who knows who would have won that one

[HarlemHeat37]

Agree with Mid, Pistons win in '04..

Spurs win easily in 2006, Wade wouldn't have went off on Bowen, tbh..the refs also wouldn't have given the superstar treatment against Bowen, tbh..

[NewcastleKEG]

Maybe.

[mavsfan1000]

It's .04. :D

[NewcastleKEG]

What was ''the And1''

[MavDynasty]

Dirk tying the game with 30 seconds left during game 7 to force OT on the road

[TDMVPDPOY]

04 duncan was still in his prime, but something about that roster tells me they wont win it...maybe it has something to do with having the turgo on the team

06 i think spurs would sweep the heat unless refs and stern get involved....

You also love naruto so no one gives a shit what you think.

Nope because Horry, Duncan, Bowen, Finley, Parker, and Barry would have died of exhaustion or heart attacks. Do you not realize how many games that would have been for them if they had 5peated? Those guys would have eventually gotten tired and hurt thus derailing the 5peat. If the Spurs had won the championship from 2003 to 2007, they would have played at least 500 games including the playoffs. They would have basically had played 6 seasons in a 5 year stretch.

[Technique]

I respect your math

[MavDynasty]

Damn that video brough back some memories of that team. Howard was such a beast bac then and wasn't a step back jump shooting pussy yet. He was a fearless slasher. Stack came up huge in OT as well as Diop. Most those players fell off a cliff sans Dirk and Terry. That was the true finals that year.

[BoricuaCJA]

2006 yes imo. We could keep Wade in check with Bowen and Duncan would of been great. IDK about 2004 b/c that Pistons team was incredible and we had Turk. I think Pistons still win.

[Venti Quattro]

If Horry hit the last shot during Game 5 of the 2003 West Semi-final, would the Lakers have won four straight?

[Jacob1983]

If 0.4 hadn't have happened, the Spurs would have at least repeated. 3peating would have been tough.

[pass1st]

Wouldn't it just push it to 7 games with Lakers having HCA?

[Venti Quattro]

Wouldn't it just push it to 7 games with Lakers having HCA?

2004? The Spurs had HCA. You don't remember 0.4 at the SBC (before SBC took over AT&T) Center?

[Robz4000]

No. Spurs lose to Pistons in Finals.
This. That Pistons team was not gonna be denied. Spurs wouldn't of gone down in 5 games tho.

Ah, memory fails me

it's been 6 fuckin years and i still can't watch this video all the way thru. once was enough. the editing. the music. too brutal. :bang

[NewcastleKEG]

Well it was a great move to the hoop for the Diggler

[Venti Quattro]

Ginobili made a mistake of thinking he could block Dirk.

[NewcastleKEG]

You know Finley wanted to beat them extra hard. See his celebration in the Manu shot

[FkLA]

I dont think the 04' Pistons were as dominant as the 05' Pistons tbh. They were still elite defensively but they got Sheed at the deadline that year, he had a better season in 05' with a full season under his belt with the team. They also signed Dice for the 05' season. They dominated during the regular season that year and the playoffs until they ran into the Spurs. In 04' they kind of came out of nowhere, the win over the Lakers was a pretty big upset at the time. Kome being Kome helped alot too.

[mavsfan1000]

04 Pistons had Mehmet Okur coming off the bench. They were shutting down teams to the extreme after the all star break when they got Wallace. The main thing I remember is the Pistons bench being much better in 04. 05 relied a ton on their starters.

[PGDynasty24]

If If If.....Tim Duncan's Dad wears a condom than the Spurs are still title-less. There are hundreds of situations that change the course of a team's history.

[TDMVPDPOY]

You also love naruto so no one gives a shit what you think.

so hows the sweep fag?

[dunkman]

The Spurs would have lost game 7 in SA vs the Lakers, that team was better than the Spurs, they just had more talent. The Spurs won the first two games, but by then Phil figured how to contain Parker. The mistakes were to let Jack go and sign Rasho to replace DRob instead of Miller.

But the Spurs should have won it all in 06.

Both the 0.4 and the and1 were on Pop. While Bowen and Turkoglu were at the bench, Devin Brown and Manu were guarding Kobe and Fisher. And Pop should have told not to foul an 2 pt attempt.

[FkLA]

That Lakers team had no chance of winning if 0.4 doesnt fall. Especially considering the fact that the Spurs had mounted a huge comeback that culminated with Timmys near gamewinner. Have you seen the way Laker teams have reacted when their back is against the wall this past decade? :lol

What about that Kings/Lakers Series or Blazers/Lakers?

[FkLA]

Kings/Lakers was rigged. Blazers choked.

Tim hit a lucky shot. Then Fish followed suit. if anything, blame the Spurs clock operator. :lol

[cherylsteele]

If Horry hit the last shot during Game 5 of the 2003 West Semi-final, would the Lakers have won four straight?
Who knows, that Spurs team didn't seem to be weak minded like that would effect them IMO, but on the other hand when you if he would have made it may have deflated their demeanor a bit.

[tesseractive]

I knew that shot wasn't going in that game. Y'all had run him into the ground that year due to lack of depth, and he'd been short-arming 'em like crazy for most of the series.

By the same token, I think all of these what ifs are pointless from our end too.
