Yep, congrats. Kobe is an awesome player.
Well done.
Great effort from the Spurs. Age and injuries just caught up to you guys, you guys have great fans. I have no doubt you will regroup (Just like every odd year) and see you guys @ 2009 WCF! :toast
Props to the Lakers, good luck in da Finals
ALWAYS=:flag:
congrats
This series was all about Game 1, we got a couple of tough breaks that made this series short. But congrats, it takes a lot of things going your way to win a championship.
Props and congrats to the Lakers.
I still hate you and your fans, though.
congrats
The better team won.
Good luck. Represent the West well.
Go Celtics.
Hats off to the Lakers.. Although I must say, CLASSLESS three by Sasha at the end there.
Still, gl in the finals. Kobe is a monster.
Hell yeah. If you play Detroit. Hope you lose. If you play Celtics hope you win.
Props to Kobe. He went up a couple levels this series.
No such thing as karma, I guess.
Congrats to the Lakers. Kobe is awesome and they are much better defensively than people give the credit for.
If the Lakers play Boston, please destroy them.
Thanks.
Congrats to the Lakers and the MVP.
The Spurs did all they could with what they had left.
good finally u realize huh good 2 know at least u gave creit where credit is due we knew it all the time we were going 2 the finals
Props to Kobe. He took over in Game 1. He took over in Game 4. And he owned in Game 5.
Good job Lakers. :toast
The better team wins a seven game series and this time it was the Lakers.

Most of you guys are alright in my book! :toast
Kudos to the Lakers, well deserved.
Congrats. The better team won. I tought we would give a bigger fight, but it was not to be.
We'll see you next year.
Now, Who's your daddy???? :lol
parting shot!
Congrats to the Lakers. Their bench has developed very nicely and they play great as a team.
I hope they take the Celtics out if it comes to that. :)
Congrats :toast
We'll kick your asses next season though
Congrats to the Lakers. Kobe has proved himself as the best player on the planet, and their supporting cast has played amazing. I think they take Boston in 6.
Kobe is the best player in the planet.
No one in the East stands a chance against this Lakers team. Not the way Kobe is playing.
Time to join together and kick some East ass!
Congrats to LA.

Props to all of you. :toast
Congrats Lakers :toast I'm pulling for you all the way :lobt:
Spurs are done and I can sleep comfortably every night for the next 11 months. :sleep
Well done, you beat a bunch of old guys who can hardly walk... GO CELTICS!!!
Nah, well played, seriously. They did what they had to for the win. They'll have to play much better to win the Finals though.
PS I HATE your Messiah, Kobe Cheater (sexual, not basketball sense), but, man, he sure can play ball.
Congrats to the Lakers, they clearly outplayed the Spurs. Kobe was amazing shooting the ball with his FG% numbers.
:lol Good luck with that, cuz the boogeyman returns in November.Quote:

Congrats Lakers. Still hope Boston or Detroit wins it all
I wish it could have been my boys who dethroned the champs, but congrats to the Lakers and congrats to the Spurs for such a hard fought battle.
San Antonio! Are you ready for '08-'09? A new year and another chance for our teams to hate each other! :D
:toast Congrats to the L.A. Lakers. Now go represent the West well.Quote:

Bob and DOug MacKenzie

Damn, I didn't see this. I suck.
Congrats!

Can't believe I'm saying this, but Congrats to the Lakers. They were the better team without a doubt. Their offense was as good as advertised and their defense was even better. Tough, tough team that made all the big plays. Kobe is an absolute beast. He's hard to root for, but his talent is undeniable. And to think he is just now entering his prime years.
Yeah congrats! I hope Boston beats you guys though. I can't stand to see Fisher grinning again after winning another title as many times he has F'ed us!!
Hey all. I just joined so I hope you don't mind the post.Quote:

It looked like a few SA players might have refused to shake his hand afterward or at least just turned the other way. I partly chalk it up to inexperience but there's really no excuse. Never should have happened!
By the way, I was at game 4 at the AT&T Center and was so impressed with the Spurs fans. It's a wonder anybody EVER wins in that place. You get it rockin. Also there is no denying the class that Pop and his team bring to the league. The Spurs compete HARD and there are never any excuses. An athlete can always hold their head up high when you do that consistently.
I'm just glad the Lakers have Kobe is all. He never ceases to amaze me in the clutch.
Ftl!
Fuck the Lakers.
Too much Kobe. Bottom line. The other Lakers are good role players that play well together - but they have their limitations. Kobe was the difference all the way through. I am sorry our shooting guard was not able to play to the level he played all year long. Manu's physical condition prevented this from being a long, classic series.
The better team won. Yuck.
Fuck...I live in lakerland...
These next few weeks are going to be miserable. I hope the Pistons take them out, so the misery won't last past June.
Oh...but Lakers played a great series. I would've liked to see an adequate Manu though. Heck, I would've liked to see a 100% Bynum and a 100% Manu. I think it would've gone 6 or 7. (Spurs winning of course!)
Classy posts! I'd like to say thanks from all the decent Laker fans. I have nothing but respect for the Spurs from top to bottom. No doubt with a few adjustments (that you always make) that you will be right back next year in the hunt.
Going to the Finals is a huge accomplishment for us after our last 4 years of dissapointments. Beating the Spurs to get there makes it all the more valuable. Please don't get me wrong, I don't mean that in a rubbing it in kind a way. It's meant as a It adds validity to the accomplishment to best a worthy and class opponent.
You had a great year, and well battle next one...
Thanks Again
U better recognize! hahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!
Thankfully, the Lakers overcame more "tough breaks" than the Spurs and won this series four games to one.Quote:

As far as this board is concerned, this thread is what it's all about. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The Spurs are a class organization. I'm glad the Spurs won when the Lakers can't. Now, let's what's ahead for them in the Finals.
Most of the posters in this board know about hoops. They know championship basketball.. They know their Spurs, the NBA. They know hoops. Interestingly enough, the posters here (the good ones anyway) have taken it after the Spurs... they are classy too.
I came here for the series. To talk hoops, smack a little. It's over. I'm out. Good luck all.
PS
Man in Black, check PM.
Thanks to the Spurs for giving the Lakers all they could handle and being a worthy opponent. We will represent the Western Conference well and will not let you guys down. At the end of the day us W.C. folks have to stick together. Kudos on your 4 titles, much respect due. Now let's have us some Boston cream pie!
Thanks a lot guys! It was one hell of a series! :toast
To be fair, the Lakers bench really stepped up tonight - no choking at all to help Kobe out , so props to them.
+1
So do I! p: But the better team-LA Lakers won and they earned it. So congrats to the Lakers.Quote:

The Spurs loss.....it hurts right now but it'll get better; it's not the end of the world. I still love the Spurs no matter what and the championship pic from 2007 will remain on my desktop at work no matter who wins the NBA championship (probably the Lakers) :)
Have some friggin class, you troll.Quote:

Spurs Fans, Thanks for the gracious words and let's make the next few years what the beginning of this decade was.
I want to see Duncan and Kobe killing each other on the court for the next few years.
Man, this forum is great....
Alot of really classy Spur fans...alot of Spur trolls..... I love it! :toast
Enjoy your riots, it's been six years if you beat the Celtics/Pistons.
Congrats to the Lakers. They outplayed the Spurs. Phil outcoached Pop.
Thank you for the props. I really do respect the hell out of the spurs. They are a great team and they have class. Pistons will be joining the fishing line very soon. It is inevitable. Rip is having elbow issues, Billups is sluggish, Sheed is 1 tech away from getting suspended, Flip is the head coach, and these are pretty much the same Pistons who have folded in the conference finals the past 2 years.
Celtics vs Lakers is going to happen. It is not a matter of if but a matter of when.
I have to admit. I came on this forum after the game tonight expecting to read a bunch of poor sported sour grape posts. Just as I have with our previous playoff opponents. And then I was gonna gloat and rub the Spurs fans noses in it. I was wrong. After reading 99.99% of this thread, I am truly humbled and impressed. I have never seen anything like this on any other sports forum. Those of you who reached out and offered congratulations to the Lakers have shown real class and good sportsmanship that every sports fan could learn from. I'm used to posting some searing parting shots and eulogies to opposing teams. Because of the "real gentlemen" posts on this thread I can in no way bring myself to do such a thing. So, instead I'm gonna thank you for having me as a guest on this forum and for making the series more fun and meaningful. I look forward to another series in the future. You have shown this corner of the internet what being a true Champion really means.
Congrats
IMHO.. Manu could've done better.. Blame the Jammed Ankle, Nailless finger.. If Manu showed up in this series like he did in the regular season, he would've given us a hell of a challenge...
Props to Jerry West and the Lakers for the great trade. :tu
Both teams played hard.
The board, like the majority of the posters here are class and top notch. I too have a lot of respect for this Spurs franchise from top to bottom. This Spurs team is not dead as long as you have Duncan and Pop running the show.
Come on folks. Jerry West was not part of Memphis when the trade happened. He left since before the year started.
It's Lurch and Ainge who totally screwed the pooch for the TPups and made the Celtics a huge contender in the east.
It's all about the hook-up. ;)Quote:
