does .4 still piss you off?

It doesn't bother me that much anymore because when you think about it, Payton and Malone will probably never have a championship and it is highly probable that Shaq or Kobe will never have another one as well. Shaq is at the end of the road. I doubt he gets through this year injury-free and Kobe is too busy sabotaging his team and committing crimes to focus on winning. The facts remain simple, Kobe and Shaq needed each other, because neither of them has proven that they can win it all without the other. At least Tim has proven to all his critics that he can win one without David. To me, Tim has proved more then Kobe and Shaq ever will.

i wanted teh spurs to win that game. once duncan hit that crazy shot i thought it was over. then it happened. i was stunned. couldnt believe what i just saw. but that worked out the best for me.

You know what is really funny about the Suns fans? They are such bad losers. They still can't except the fact that they were schooled during the playoffs. The thing that should worry everybody in the league is that the Spurs can play any style you play and play it better. Miami can't do that. Detroit can't do that. Phoenix sure as hell can't do that. All those teams are still one-dimensional. The Spurs are the most versatile team in the league and adapt better to changing game situations then any team. That is what really makes the difference when a championship is on the line. Phoenix fans need to understand that they will never win a championship until they start accepting that they actually need to learn how to play like a team and maybe try to do more than one thing. Phoenix is sadly predictable. You stop the ball, you stop the break,and you win the game.The funny thing is that Suns fans actually believe Kurt Thomas is actually going to make a difference? :lol I imagine that Tim is the happiest he ever has been in a long time now that he has a scrub like Thomas to practice on during games. Thanks for the help Phoenix! :elephant

San Antonio can't play the slow it down game against Miami where Shaq and Wade get to the free throw line consistently. Nash to Amare is a smart suns fan. Mourning will be in shape next year so be ready.

Man, ANOTHER alias? It's getting quite sad now. Be creative, stop coming up with new screennames to back up your own statements.

The Spurs have always been able to play the slow it down game. That has been their foundation for a long time. The only thing that has hurt the Spurs is their free throw shooting, which Chip Engelland should remedy. I know for a fact that the game we had against the Heat in Miami last year would have resulted in a win had we made our free throws because the game wasn't dominated by either team and you won by only a couple of points clearly showing my point that the Heat is one-dimensional. And also if your pinning your hopes on Alonzo Mourning to help take you to the next level, well you might as well forfeit the entire season right now, because Mourning won't matter nearly as much as you think he will. He is far past his prime and if he was smart, he would have retired this season, but some people never learn. Shaq is a step slower on every play even when he was healthy and I'm sure his "big toe" will keep him out of many games this next year, because he has never been the type of player who will tough out playing on two severely sprained ankles like some people I know( hint hint). Face it, at the end of the day, you have a choke artist in White Chocolate, a overrated defender in Posey, an aging Shaquille O'Neal, another aging center riding the bench, and the worst X's and O's coach in Stan Van Gundy. Your only hope rests in the "second coming of Michael Jordan" or as you may call him Dwayne Wade, and quite frankly he isn't going to be enough to take you to a championship. So just get ready to get all your fans hyped up and give them false hope but be just as ready to disappoint them with a late-playoff exit in the Conference finals, because even as hungry as you think you are, you have two teams that are hungrier in Detroit and Indiana, and a much more talented team in Cleveland that has something to prove, so enjoy it while you can, because it won't last long.

The Heat Own All. Enough said.

Right now they dont own anything, how many titles do they have again?

Don't worry. The truth will be told next year and how much talent do Miami need before they can win a championship? They are loaded. :lol

Loaded with crap. Need to look at post from Take it to the hole.
They have yet to prove they can get out of the eastern playoffs. Still dont think they can get past Detroit.

Last year Miami's biggest weaknesses were PG and PF and now they have improved in both areas. No more 3 on 5. You can't play soft on anyone or you will get burned. Wade will be getting closer to being a superstar every year. Posey is a defensive stopper and is just as good as Eddie Jones is. They have a bench now to.

Yeah, Miami will be rolling until mid-season.

Then Pat will get greedy, fire Stan and take over the reins.

1. Miami
2. San Antonio
3. Detroit
4. Indiana
5. Phoenix

That was a stupid move by Miami and Shaq signing such an amount of money 100mill for 5 years, man the dude can't even run the floor anymore that is investing in an old horse. Just like the Spurs are trying to get rid of the Rasho contract we paid too much for that guy you will be in the same boat in about 2 years.

After Miami wins 2 championships than Miami made a bad deal since Shaq's contract is for 5 years. Oh well. I will take it.

1. San Antonio
2. Detroit
3. Miami

Ditto!! It would be worse if the Flakers had won #4 that season. But the fluke Pistons embarassed them in 5.

Only Spurs-haters keep bringing this up. Get over it, folks. Let's move on.

Those playoffs exposed (again) Tony Parker as a player who still hasn't gotten it right in the playoffs. I'd still trade him for a young stud SF.

Hey, Pop, thanks for not guarding the inbounds pass with a big man. A tip would have ended it. You could have at least dictated which part of the court they had to pass it, and force them to lob it, too. <eyes rolling>

I hope he has grown enough to run even more next year. Against Phoenix, we showed we can do it. There are very few teams that play D. And with Oberto around and the perimeter defense rule, we can run much more that in the past.

What the...??? Who the hell had the idea of starting off a championship video with a downer clip from the year before? Some Spurs hater must have put the video together.

Pleez...play him at the end so we can "Hack-a-Shaq" and watch him brick the 'throws. LMAO
