This is starting to look the same for the lucky Spurs in 2008, because according to your genious GM the Spurs roster will remain intac.

What will your excuse be?

In 2006 was Duncan's Plantar fasciitis.

In 2004 was Robinson's retirement.

In 2000 was Duncan's knee.

It seems to me that every year the Spurs try to repeat they find an excuse for their inability to win back to back titles, which bring us to the debate Why you are not a Dynasty.

Just my 2 Cents.

PS save your lame comebacks about Cleveland not winning a title, getting swept.. etc...

Just face the facts. :toast

My excuse will be LeBron being so good.

I'd rather have some old guys who can last longer than some younger guys who shoot their wad quickly.

in other words:

" 'We were older than dirt,' " Popovich remembered hearing about his team. " 'We needed to get this guy, or that guy, on the perimeter to get something done.' "

So he walked into the locker room one day and told his team, "We're not going to make a trade. We're not looking for a savior. It's right here in this room."-Gregg Popovich

These motherfuckers may be in their 30's but least they didn't bend over and punk out like a bunch salad tossing bitches like Dallas.

1999 Knicks ... another salad tossing bunch of wimps.

In other words, the Mavs could get four one-point victories in the regular season and still lose in the playoffs to the Spurs.

A Game 7 Mavs victory wasn't the "passing of the torch" that the entire world made it out to be. It was an overtime victory, more of a victory in which Dallas barely squeaked by, not dominated the old Spurs.

Same thing with the Lakers. It was a squeak by series decided on less than half of a second.

I understand you completley on the Manvs thing in 06. It sorta reminds me when MJ first came back and Orlando knocked them out in round 2 of the playoffs and everyone and their grandmother were saying that Jordan had lost a step... Three titles later I wonder where all those people were. We were forced to play a different game we are accustomed to and still only lost on a stupid foul.

And even then, we were getting spanked in the .4 game before we made the comeback. Same goes with game 7 vs. Mavs.

So were the Lakers against Portland in the 4th quarter when they were down by 17 and made an outstanding comeback. Most good teams go through brain farts. Bottom line we should have won that game and that series. LA did have our number for a minute, but the games before .4 we massacred them. .4 all but did us in.

Do i want them to win it all next year, of course but they do not need to win by any means.
