Spurs my be on the verge of decimating the OKC Dynasty............. Thoughs?

[Gervin44Silas13]

This could be the last hurrah for OKC if the Spurs win this series you can count that Chuckbrook and Durant have seen their last days as Okies one of the two or both.
These two guys clearly have ego problems they are in the press confrences at the same time. Because they are attention whores. its evident.....behind closed doors

Westbrook is the Western Conf. Carmelo Great Talent but uncoachable

Durant never acknowleges anything to the opposition even when he gets schooled by Kawhi....dude is not humble and alreday has a beef with the OKC media...when Chuckbrook gets all the love.

I love what our team decimated these Dynasties

2000 Shaq/Kobe Lakers

2005 Pistions

2014 Lebrons Heat

2016 Durant/Westbrook Thunder?

[DarrinS]

OKC is a dynasty?

[cutewizard]

games two and three are crucial.....hope we win in five so we can prepare for the mother of all battles!

[Fireball]

it was only one game ...

[Gervin44Silas13]

OKC is a dynasty?

Not so much a dynasty I should have said tandem...of these too my bad....

[hater]

it was only one game ...

Exactly.

It was one game retards. Post this when we up 3-0

[99 Problems]

Well was only one game but we did systematically pull apart Heat and cause that powerhouse to crash to earth like a death star and turn to shite.

[BillMc]

I think you mean 2003 Shaq/Kobe Lakers. As I recall, we didn't play them in the playoffs in 2000. In 2001 and 2002 they crushed us.

[urunobili]

We were up 2-0 in 2012 and got Backdoor swept... on the verge would be if they were playing to get their 4th win and they wouldn't be dismantling a Dynasty, they may contribute to yet another franchise all time great player leave a team the Spurs defeat (if they do).

[hooperflash]

it was only one game ...

+1

[BD24]

I think you need to win a championship to be considered a Dynasty.

[jjktkk]

OKC is a dynasty?

[Ice009]

For f's sake, it's only one game. Settle down.

Spurstalk sometimes reaches the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. We haven't done anything yet in this series. Still lots of work to do. Gotta stay focused, stay hungry in every minute of every game. It's not easy.

[K...]

Since this thread is mostly a fail...I want to bring up a point I heard in the nba forum. While it's cool we beat the Lakers and heat, two of the best historical teams of the era we only won after each had been to multiple finals trips and it could be argued that the spurs only beat those legendary dynasties because they were tired and ripe for ending.

Now obviously the spurs have been on the reverse end of being too tired to defend. And the spurs can only play the teams they are assigned Rio play. But is this a legit point or just your usual Lakers fan insecurity.

[DJR210]

:lmao Ringless Dynasty

[Lostwingman]

OKC is a dynasty?

[elemento]

the "could have been" dynasty. After Harden's trade, they fell apart.

[cjw]

Not only that, but it was the Pistons, not Spurs who dismantled them.

And the Pistons remained formidable after the '05 finals, with three more ECF appearances (six in a row).

So that leaves the Spurs with just the Heat. Maybe you can count the Bulls too because the Spurs won the year after Jordan retired!

[boutons_deux]

One of the worst trades ever. JH/KD/WB was a very tough team, all three could score in big bunches.

Well, this is sort of how it happens. The aging of good role players, or their loss, is a major factor. The Lakers were able to paper over things with Payton and Malone in 2004 but then Detroit hammered them. In 2008 the Spurs' role players couldn't hang anymore.

The team we're leaving out here are the Steve Nash Phoenix Suns, btw.

[NameLess Scrub]

I'd have no problem is the Spurs dismantled the Thunder, decimated the Warriors, and obliterated the Lebrons.

Then Draymond lashed out to the media, Durant moved to the Wizards, Westbrook started dressing with potato bags (he's getting close anyway), Lebron left without shaking hands, and Love shaved his head.

[TrainOfThought5]

10 years from now theres gonna be an ESPN 30for30: the dynasty that never was.

[Uriel]

We are so losing Game 2.

Holy shit this was funny!! Potato bags?! ROFLMAO

[BillMc]

I'd be more interested in toppling the team with the best record in NBA history. We are likely to get that chance...

[lmbebo]

Premature ... by a long shot. 1 game. Amazing game by us and a bad game by them. Highly doubt it repeats itself 3 more times... They are too good of a team to have that happen.

Fully expect this to be a much tougher game tonight. They are going to come out with a lot more energy.

[Chinook]

The Spurs didn't kill The Thunder. The Thunder did.

[TheDoctor]

The Spurs didn't kill The Thunder. The Thunder did.

#SuicideJob

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

The Spurs didn't kill The Thunder. The Thunder did.

Spurs definitely stole their Thunder sat. night.

[boutons_deux]

Seattle/OKC has been a pretty tough team since the early 2000s (Ray Allen team), not a dynasty, but just a "good run"

[Brazil]

1. They are not a dynasty
2. We won game 1

[Proxy]

potentially, it'd be another franchise that never lived up to it's hype due to running into SA. I guess the equivalent is Nash's Suns? Dynasty though... Lakers, Pistons, Heat got rings brah

[K...]

Sigh, we had like two or three shots to kill those prime mavs. Instead it was Dwayne, and Jack.

[Budkin]

We are so losing Game 2.

Would be typical Spurs.

I cannot stress how overrated to high hell that early 2000's Laker's Dynasty is. Its easier to buy into the idea that Portland choked in game 7 2000 but rewatch that game and its once again a load of favorable calls to LA. Duncan missed the entire postseason...just think if we didn't have to face Curry and won this year how fraudulent many would view our chip. But nobody bats an eye for LA. In 2001 they were absolutely legit. 2002 is criminally accepted and counted as a three-peat crowning among the public, hell even fans here. I never did. They were NOT the best team that year. SAC wasn't the most mentally tough team, but they showed enough to be better than LA that year and were robbed. Even the BIGGEST LA media homers admitted it. Whoever actually considers that ring legit didn't watch a second of that series. They were roasted in 2003 by SAS, and Lakers RETOOLED and still got obliterated the next season by Detroit.

So basically in 5 seasons they:

- Avoided the league's best player (who swept them the year before and won the chip) and received gift officiating in an elimination game 7 (2000)
- Won a legit ring in dominating fashion (2001)
- Were outplayed and LOST but the league LITERALLY gave them the ring through the most BLATANTLY CROOKED officiating in league history (2002)
- Got demolished 2 years straight (2003/2004) even after having a chance to retool in 2004.

I'm sorry but I just NEVER bought into that overrated and over-hyped mystique the media built about the Lakers. They were literally protected systematically from the top down and still lost 3 out of those 5 years (2002, 2003, 2004) while fielding supposedly the most unguardable offensive force ever and another top 5 player back then with the "GOAT" coach. That's utter underachievement if I ever saw any. Total bull and that "dynasty" narrative has stuck successfully all these years. The power of the media I guess.

[RD2191]

5 rings, faggots. Fuck everything else.

All thanks to David Stern

2000 Shaq/Kobe Lakers

2005 Pistions

2014 Lebrons Heat

2016 Durant/Westbrook Thunder?

Not a dynasty and where are the Suns?

[Raven]

lol people thinking it was just one game

[Slomo]

OKC is a dynasty?

[Horse]

Only one game and I doubt we shoot that well again or they shoot that bad. But this all seemed sustainable maybe just a closer margin. And it could avalanche real quick with some beliving durant is already gone.

[baseline bum]

We are so losing Game 2.

:lol no shit, this fucking forum is so bipolar

[Sean Cagney]

Sigh, we had like two or three shots to kill those prime mavs. Instead it was Dwayne, and Jack.

We did eliminate that 2010 team that had high hopes and was the 2nd seed though.... That was great.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Not dynasties but yes a win against the Thunder this series would most likely equal KD moving on.

[SpursFan86]

This topic... :lmao

[T Park]

it was only one game ...

You guys that keep talking like this still probably think OKC has "depth"

[Gervin44Silas13]

Not a dynasty and where are the Suns?

I forgot to mention them...Thanks Spurs 4 win ....It seems you cant think openly on this fourm cause when you do everyones vagina gets hurt

[Fireball]

You guys that keep talking like this still probably think OKC has "depth"

They are still talented enough to beat the Spurs and I will not exhale before we won 4 games ... 2013 Finals we blew out the Heat one game only to lose the next one ... one game means nothing

[gambit1990]

if okc is a dynasty then what does that make the spurs? :lol

[CosmicCowboy]

I don't think OKC can learn to play great defense overnight. If they keep leaving the Spurs wide open Westbrook and Durant won't be able to score enough to win even if the Spurs don't shoot as well as they did Saturday.

But is this a legit point or just your usual Lakers fan insecurity.Valid point point. We lost to the Shaqobe Lakers and big three heat in their prime (2001, 2002, 2013). We beat both teams after they had been to three/four straight finals. And we didn't really break up the Shaqobe Lakers, they came back and beat us the next year. The Pistons and Kobe being a cancer broke them up.

[tholdren]

My Though is this:

OKC was hyped by the media and you took the bait. OKC has never won anything, so how are they a Dynasty? Just another reason to pass on bringing a loser from OKC to SA.

[Tully365]

It has to be discouraging for OKC fans & players to think that they were the young, up and coming team with multiple superstars and the Spurs were the team with aging superstars... passing the Spurs looked inevitable, but it definitely didn't happen, and now the Spurs have retooled with Kawhi, LMA, and smart role players while the Thunder are still dealing with essentially the same issues that became evident in their one trip to the finals against LeBron & the Heat. The free agency decisions are going to weigh heavily on both Durant & Westbrook now, because they have to realize that the reality of never winning a title in OKC is a distinct possibility.

[313]

They're the equivalent of the 2000s Suns or Mavs. Had the stars but could never get over the hump.

[tholdren]

They're the equivalent of the 2000s Suns or Mavs. Had the stars but could never get over the hump.
so are they really "stars" if they didnt win anything?

[Tully365]

so are they really "stars" if they didnt win anything?


I think if someone can lead their team to a position where they are legitimately one of the three or four best teams in the NBA, that qualifies them for star status...
Sure, winning a championship is the ultimate goal, but I think it would be unreasonable to say that Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone, Steve Nash, or Kevin Durant aren't true stars...

[hater]

Exactly.

It was one game retards. Post this if we up 3-0

:lmao retards :lol

[ViceCity86]

10 years from now theres gonna be an ESPN 30for30: the dynasty that never was.

Like the 1990s Orlando Magic recent doc.
