Let me tell ya man, I'm in Europe (Rome, Florence) on vacation right now and the scenery is breathtaking. I'm not talking about the landscape either. If I wasn't married already, I'd be getting rejected by some of the hottest women on the planet.Quote:

I felt like the 2014 title run was a no-brainer if they stayed healthy. If you don't believe me and you have some time, take a look at all my previous posts. It wasn't dumb bravado or homer boasting, I really felt the Spurs were built to get through OKC and the Heat. -- Maybe I got lucky, but I still have scoreboard and its time-stamped in black & white.Quote:

Trust me, OKC isn't going to have much luck going forward either. If the Spurs are healthy, they are going to be a nightmare for the competition.
The Spurs are tested, experienced, smart and confident. I see at least a repeat and perhaps more for the future. And if not, hell - we have 5 Rings. Its been a great ride.
Fuck...will y'all shut the fuck up about 2013 already...that's ancient history...WE'RE THE FUCKING CHAMPIONS NOW!!!!! :lol
:lol choking a lead by bricking free throws, not rebounding, and letting some old fuck make a corner 3
Fire Pop, tbh... :lolQuote:

The Spurs will be and are the 2014 NBA Champions, until and if they are dethroned.

Note to self...become friends with tmtcsc. Start with apologizing for calling him out.
Sorry dude, my bad.Quote:

:lol No worries man. I've been extremely fortunate in most cases. It's the heartbreaking losses that seem to stand out. Seeing DRob's first game as a rookie, his last game as a Champion in 2003 and Game 7 against the Pistons was the ultimate.Quote:

And they have been a title contender ever since. How ridiculous is it to follow a team that had a chance at a title every single year since 1989-90 except for 96-97 when David was lost for the season?Quote:

Ouch. I came in just before you at the tail end of the successful early 80's. I had to watch A-Train put up a miserable shot attempt against the Lakers to end the 1982 0r 1983 playoffs. I was heartbroken. The Spurs had beaten the Lakers in Los Angeles the game before and there was hope that we could even the series and bring it back to LA. That was the beginning of the end.Quote:

tbh you could have done this last summer.Quote:

LOL Knicks giving two young all-star point guards in Strickland and Mark Jackson up for nothing, and costing Ewing his legacy. :lolQuote:
