Oh yeah, we have more titles than the Rockets and Mavs.

Ah right like there hasn't been a shitload of "Dirk got too many foul calls in the WCSF but Duncan earned his" discussion.

Teams are judged by regular season wins and losses (unfairly) but are remembered by what they do in June. remember the 99 8th seeded NY knicks team, im sure they caught alot of slack but if they had won imagine how we would be hearing it from the WHOLE EASTERN SEABOARD !!

lol, truth is, i like most of the spurs fans here, i even have some (gasp!) in my family, several actually...i'm just playing around...and yes, we'll see whose laughing in june...errr, hopefully for the sake of both of us, it won't be the suns!

Agreed.

Can we just drop the whole "well we have three rings" thing when talking about the current season? If you want to have a debate about the histories of the Spurs and Mavs franchises then yes, that would make sense but having any titles in the past means nothing for what is happening right now. Just because the Spurs franchise has three titles doesn't give them any more wins right now. Just as the whole "asterisk" talk is ignorant and juvenile...so is the "well, we lost last night in Dallas but we still have three rings" comeback. Oh...and noone here has three NBA rings.

*woosh* (there goes the ginobili hair reference)

One huge attribute that isn't easily measurable is championship experience. That is the reason we Spurs Fans harp on our three championships. Closing the deal is the difference between flying division banners and championship banners.

I agree and that has been, IMO, the Spurs biggest problem this year. Too many times they have squandered leads that cost them games or started off slow and dug themselves a big hole and it takes all they have just to break even and can't finish the job and that costs them games as well.

I kinda have blind faith as far as that is concerned because Pop and the players know better than anyone else how to keep themselves fresh through the 82 game grind.

In the big picture of things, the last two losses to Milwaukee and Boston helps the NBA, I think. I'm not saying the Spurs threw the games. But both media markets needed a shot in the arm. And it is interesting that the two head coaches were ex-Spurs and have ties to San Antonio. If the Spurs were going to lose a couple in a row, losing these last two just felt right. Plus Boston was eventually going to break that streak and it was St. Pattys day and all.

Let's see how the guys end the season. I expect them to play with renewed vigor.

Lakers have almost as many rings as you Spurs fans have fingers! 3x as many trophies!!

What makes you think that your team is anything special?

I have a feeling this was started by a Mavs fan, just to get Spurs fans all riled up. And Laker fan, any team that has 3 rings, is a special team and has special players. so shut the fuck up.

You know what I hate about the Lakers and Mavs?

In 2003-04 West Conf Semis, Derek Fisher kills us with that 0.4 shot. But then, you guys go and choke against Detroit.

Last season, Dork gets his "and one" and then the Mavs choke to the Heat.

If you guys are going to beat us in the playoffs (well, I guess this is only directed at Mavs fan), at least have the decency to win the finals.

That is all.

Why does it matter? So you can claim being the 2nd best team instead of the 3rd best team? I thought nothing else mattered but winning the title?

Yeah that exactly what we want. Personally, I was glad to see the Mavs choke in such a big way against the heat. It wasn't as good as winning the title, but it was still fun to see!

I had mixed feelings. I was mad about how the Spurs-Mavs series played out, but, at the same time, I didn't want to see Shaq get another ring.

I think its more along the lines of... if you guys are going to choke, do it against us and not in the finals. :toast

why are so many people taking this thread seriously?

I understand we're on a Spurs board and that the Mavs are the #1 enemy, but this crap needs to get locked and deleted

We tried to (gave up big lead in 7th game) but Manu bailed us out.

:rolleyes Spurs fans and any other NBA CHAMPION teams fans have every flippin right to brag and gloat. Thats what its all about. Posters on here dismissing that particular opportunity are just projecting their disappointment in not being able to do the same. Like throwing the * into the 99 championship equation. Charles Barkley mentioned one time that he would have gladly taken that championship because it still is what it is as would any player in the NBA, its not the Spurs fault that it was a lock out season. The Knicks would have gladly taken that ring. Personally for me, I'd rather take an * championship than choking and losing four in a row in the finals in front of billions of fans, thats just a tad bit shittier in my book.

You love to think that you are special but you are historically our little bitches, so you go ahead and shut the fuck up.

You want to act like you are something for having 3 rings and talk shit to Mavs fans and Rockets fans or whoever... I am simply pointing out that you ain't shit... There are teams with MUCH better histories than you po-dunk franchise.

Its part of winning the championship ...you get to celebrate and brag......especially to those that are inferior...... Laker and Celtic fans can turnaround and use the "16 thing" against us and we take it........SO MAV fans chill out and get on your knees and pray for the GOLDEN ONE....You'll have your turn....if not you're welcome in SAN ANTONIO !!!!!!!!

for now the facts of the case are 3 > 2 !!!

Answer this question for me(or are you going to side-step it like Peter)
How many back to back trophies do the spurs have?
For all the hype on spurs defense, for the life of them, they can't figure out how to defend a title.

Who gives a shit? How many back to backs have we won? None, is that what you want to hear? That your 2 championships over 10 years ago are somehow more impressive? Your an idiot if you dont realize that 3>2. I hate bringing up rings, but since your being such a dipshit about it, I might as well be a dipshit too

The spurs have alot of history, and if it bothers you that a po dunk franchise actually has titles and a winning tradition then thats your problem. Don't come over here trying to bring down the Spurs franchise, just so you can build up the Lakers' franchise...

Wow, touched a nerve there. :smokin

3 is > 2 mathematically, but I do think the Spurs should have defended at least 1 title to be considered a powerhouse. Your name-calling is intimidating :nope :rolleyes :clap :dizzy

The 9ers have more rings than the Pats historically, does that make them better? Its all about what have you done for me lately in sports, and the Rockets havent won one in over 10 years, the Mavs still havent won one (although it looks like that will change this year), and the Spurs have won 2 in the last 4, thats what.
