up to them to stop another dynasty in the making..

[spursistan]

Shaqobe Lakers in 2003 and Heatles in 2014..One last dance, one last glorious effort in 2017 and be the team to nip it all in bud :toast..

Shut the fuck up you attention whore.

Spurs need to get stronger in the back court. Curry and Thompson eat us up.

They actually do pretty well slowing those two down. Spurs need to rebuild their depth to compete with them.

But the Spurs didn't stop the Shaq and Kobe Lakers. The very next year, the Spurs lost to them in the playoffs, and the Lakers went back to the NBA Finals.

Spurs can claim putting an end to the Heatles since LeBron left Miami after 2014. But the Spurs didn't stop the Shaq and Kobe Lakers. They just didn't.

Nothing to brag about but it did happen lol

Maybe. Back to back is great, and they will be favored to win the three peat. But the league is funny. Things can turn on a dime.

[Raven]

more like it's up to the rest of teams to offer max contracts to whoever gets to free agency of that team.

[SpursDynasty]

I wouldn't really call the Lakers a dynasty. The first group that three-peated had a different core than the second group in 2009-2010.

The Spurs had the same core playing in an NBA Finals together 11 years apart.

The 2010-2014 Heat are not even a semi-dynasty, or anything resembling one. Making the Finals four times in the East is equivalent to making the second round four times in the West. They only won two titles.

[soxxx]

Honestly if you put a gun to my head, I think the Warriors finish the 3 peat next year. I think everyone knows the significance of it, but then again the Lakers failed to do it in 2011, and the Heat failed to do it in 2014.....in all honesty, the Mavs stopped two three-peats from happening with that win in 2011.

:lol believing a team with Lamarcus Aldridge as part of the core can win a title :lmao

Those teams would have beaten up on the current eastern teams, These teams in the East now are huge frauds, its unbearable to watch, back then it was certainly watchable. The only free ride the Heat got imo was in 2014 when the Pacers kinda came apart at the end.

:lmao you wouldn't call the 3peat Lakers a dynasty but you'd call the Spurs a dynasty for never having won a back to back. Kys

They probably will and the saddest thing is this year its will probably be a 4-1 series win over Cleveland, next year I'm sure Cleveland comes back and gets swept. It would be hilarious if Golden State completes a 3 Peat against the same team, which is likely.

Psychologically I tend to believe this team is mentally burned out from going to back to back finals and losing. I don't think anybody on that team has the desire and energy to go back next year outside of Lebron.

[Kawhitstorm]

Would be shocking if Love isn't traded, at the very least..they probably won't move Irving, but they should..they desperately need a 3 and D guy..ideally, they would acquire 2 of them, but let's begin with 1:lol

LeBron took his cues from Mark Cuban circa 2003-04 who thought a Dirk/Walker/Jamison frontline & a starting lineup w/ Finley as its best defender was championship worthy.:lol


Shumpert shouldn't be an NBA rotation player anymore, yet they just signed him to 10 per:lol

Schumpert was LeBron's favorite teammate last season along w/ Tristan, that's why they both got paid.:lol

[Kawhitstorm]

You mean after they changed 3/5th of the starting lineup?:lol (In '04, Horry was on the Spurs::lol)

You might as well claim the Spurs didn't stop LeBron from 3-peating b/c he went back to the Finals in 2015.:lmao

[~O~]

After that clawing match last night..nothing won't stop them. 73-9, come back from 3-1, mid post season injuries, ankle injuries, season injuries to Klay, Bogut, Curry, Iguodala, Barnes, records broken individually and team based.


I don't see it.

2011 Lakers weren't beating OKC in the WCF, they struggled against a Hornets squad whose 2nd best player was Carl Landry.:lmao

As far as the Heat, had they won in 2011 then LeBron would have refused to play PF or work on his post up game. Battier would probably also not be on the roster as he was signed to play PF when Bosh shifted to center instead of using a traditional line-up ala 2010-11.

Umm bad logic is bad.

They were called the "Shaq and Kobe" Lakers for a reason. That's because those threepeat Lakers were about Shaq and Kobe. Not the role players.

With your logic, then those "Shaq and Kobe" Lakers never threepeated to begin with, since 3/5ths of their starting line-up changed from 2000 to 2001 with Harper, Rice, and AC Green turning into Fisher, Fox, and Horace Grant. Smh.

The "Shaq and Kobe" Lakers weren't stopped by the Spurs in 2003. They came back the next year, beat the Spurs, and went back to the NBA Finals... with Shaq and Kobe.

Dumbass, they wouldn't have beaten the 2004 Spurs if Malone/Payton weren't on the roster. Put Malone/Payton on the 2003 Lakers & they would have beaten the Spurs.

:lolRole players didn't matter to the 3-peat Lakers when Fisher/Horry bailed out the Shaq/Kobe NUMEROUS times:lol

2001 Lakers would have won if you replaced Harper, Rice, AC Green w/ the 2006 Lakers supporting cast.

Spurs lost Stephen Jackson/Speedy Claxton/Admiral while the Lakers gained Payton/Malone.:wakeup

TBH, we lost to the lakers in 2004 because the refs dont know how long0.4 seconds is. Fisher took over a second and negated the 2nd greatest clutch shot of Tim Duncans career. Pistons should be thanking the refs because we wouldve beat them if it had been us in the Finals that year.

Yes, they did. They ended their championship run. Sorry nice try.

They ended the chance for a 4th consecutive title for the Shaq/Kobe Lakers. They would not go on to win a 4th (playing together) after that, and they broke up one year later after an embarrassing Finals loss. That is what people mean when they say the Spurs "ended" the Shaq/Kobe Lakers.

Granted, they might have broken up regardless. I don't think the Spurs were the primary cause for them breaking up. But they did end the championship streak.
