Of the four times an 8th team beat a 1st seed, a Texas team won it all everytime
Cases:
1994: 1. Seattle lost to 8. Denver. Houston won the championship.
1999: 1. Miami lost to 8. New York. Spurs won the title.
2007: 1. Dallas lost to 8. Golden State. Spurs won the title.
2011: 1. Spurs lost to 8. Memphis. Dallas won the title.
We could have Chicago losing to Philly.
Just sayin'

nicely done.
It certainly all looks good.
Coach Retard is staying out of the way -so far.
I think only the Heat could derail us and if Retard plays the Splitter-Duncs combo we should TallBall them to death.

Since he played Splitter and Duncan together in game 3, that would be the exact opposite of staying out of the way. Same goes for Pop controlling minutes played the entire season. The exact opposite of staying out of the way. Other than that, I agree with you that all looks good. Good talk.

This...such spoiled fans...never seen anything like it. Do you guys remember John Lucas? Bob Hill? Jerry Tarkanian? We have one of the top 5 coaches of all time on our bench, the Coach of the Fucking Year (and would have gotten more if the Spurs weren't expected to win a lot more, which is partially because of him as well), and you guys still talk shit about him. Fabbs..you're an idiot...and you should be hung up by your fucking toenails.

No correlation whatsoever to Duncan/GNob/Parker/Bowen retiring-slowing wayy down.
Another tea and crumpet please. With a cup of Coatail tea. :lol

Even if you don't agree with some of the things Pop does, calling him Coach Retard makes you the retard. If you think he is anything less than the best coach in the NBA you just dont know your shit.

And I'm sure Pop had NOTHING to do with getting Parker and Ginobili in the late first round and turning them into future HOFers, and turning a journeyman like Bowen into a man with his jersey in the rafters.

So let me get this straight...when Pop gets 4 rings with a small market team and coaches players to WAY above their talent levels, it's got nothing to do with him, but when the team loses, it's got everything to do with him...does that about cover it?

So out of curiosity, what coaches would you pencil in for winning titles with our roster (and injuries) those four years?

We've been there done that many times on ST.
I see someone started a thread now for lauding Popped as the best coach in the NBA. Good.
I just want another legit Championship so hope he continues to stay out of the way in 2012. Back to the OP, it's looking good.

And here is Avery Johnson. "You've got followers who applaud your giving up Champ teams in favor of Mike Finley-Matty Bonner-Soft Dick at the SF/PF spot?

You still haven't answered my question. Why is it that when they lose, Pop is to blame, but when they win, it's not him? Where are Avery's championship trophies? Jerry Sloan's? Don Nelson's? In your opinion, where does Pop rank as far as best coaches ever?

Well it will happen. Back to back years of 1st seeders getting knocked out of the first round by an 8th.

Re: Of the four times an 8th team beat a 1st seed, a Texas team won it all everytime
Every year we won the last game of the Finals, we won a championship.
If we can do that this year, I think we have a puncher's chance.

We also seem to have a really good championship record when we win at least 16 playoff games. :lol

A trend with absolutely no mechanism of impact.

So, besides "coach retard", who do you think realistically should coach the Spurs?
You always do this Fabbs, bitch and moan with no answers.

Lol since I found out about this I bring it up with every spurs conversation I have with people.
It's like a party trick.
I tell it like a joke.. build up the punchline.. and then smoothly drop the info with a slight glow.
They always have this 'no way for real' smile that creeps from out of their features becoming a full grin.

Useless perhaps, but nice to know as Spurs fans watch their team continue their dominant march towards another championship.
Assuming that the Spurs make it into the finals ----- the Spurs and the Bulls are the only two NBA teams who have never lost an NBA Final in all their appearances.
