@ this point, the Spurs have no nemisis... Lakers are no more.
Sorry, but the Mavericks are your owner now. Only two teams have sent Tim Duncan home: Shaq/Kobe and Dirk. Don't ever forget that. Only thing that can stop the Mavericks are three guys in gray shirts: First the Finals and then Golden State.Quote:

But that will probably change.
I don't remember the Mavs calling in bomb threats.
I don't remember little old ladies at Mav games flipping the bird to our players.
I don't remember them throwing water bottles at players after games.
I don't remember them trying to get our players thrown out of games for really stupid reasons.
And believe it or not--I like AJ over D and Toney.
No, Shaq was the reason for the Western dominance. The Pistons have been the only consistant threat in the East whereas the West could be won by 4 different teams every year.Quote:

I think that there will be some intense matchups between these specific Spurs and Suns teams carrying over into at least next year, but I wouldn't consider the Suns a true rival yet. I would go with in any particular order:
Utah
Dallas
L.A. Lakers
Suns rival the Spurs for coolest uniforms, certainly not for league dominance.

I'd take Duncan over any Center. He's what makes the SPURS go! FINISH OFF the coach w/three 1st Names. :clap
I don't considered this a rivalry. These players despite everything that has happen in this series get along with each other. I doubt you see the Suns pull a "Detroit" and walk off the court if they lose without congraluting the Spurs on the win. I doubt that Nash will allow them to pull a stunt like that.
no, they are the Spurs bitches until they beat us in a playoff series. which is NOT gonna happen this year.
No. The Mavs have actually beaten us in a series, and actually won the western conference.
I got to admit, its hard to really hate a team that has Nash as thier leader. I would love Nash on the Spurs. I've never liked another play that wasn't a spur so much. Now hopefully these words don't come back and bite me in the ass if the Spurs lose tonight. Go Spurs go!Quote:
