05
which team is better?
05
03
Tough one. I would say '03.
03
03
Of those three, I would say '03...although of 1999, 03, 05, and 07...I would say 1999 because of their defense. The season was abbreviated but the playoffs certainly were not and the Spurs only lost 2 games during the playoffs.
Is this like the 3rd or 4th thread in the past month on this?
05 was the best imo, it was also my favorite run, most exciting for me at least
2005
2003 by far
2005
2003
2007
2003 team was most dominant...Duncan was unstoppable.
2005 Finals was ing EPIC. Best Finals ever, IMHO.
2007 Finals was way too easy.
The '03 team would be the best team the Spurs ever had if they played more than 25 minutes a night.
i think the 03 team had more talent. the 05 team had the least amount of true talent but had by far the best team chemistry. the 07 team was great, but i think kinda lucky the warriors bailed them out. the only true test in the playoffs were the suns that year.
You play who you play. If Dallas was a no-show at the ball in 2007, that's on them. That 07 team is often overlooked, but they had the second most dominant playoff run of any Spurs trophy team, going 16-4, second only to the 15-2 run by the 1999 team.
I think the team with the most raw talent was the 2003 team, but they let elimination games go, left and right on their somewhat wobbly 16-8 run.
2005 was probably my favorite team. I really had no hope for a trophy when Duncan went down with his second ankle injury and missed the end of the regular season.

^^^ agree.
2005 - very deep and versatile, Manu & Bowen at their peak, Duncan - very slightly past his peak, Parker - not there yet. This team had everything - bigs (Nazr, Rasho), a great Horry, 3 point shooting (Barry, Bowen, Manu), passing (Barry, Beno, Manu), a bonafide 3 (Glenn Robinson) even though he didn't play much and Devin Brown.
1999 - defense from Twin Towers was awesome. Tough, seasoned players and a young, mobile Duncan.
2007 & 2003 - tie. 2007 was seasoned, gritty and mentally tough but not much talent (outside of the big 3). I thought they were lucky that year - GS took out DAL and the suspensions. Then the FO got complacent - trading away Scola and resigning the vets.
2003 was the very opposite - lots of young talent but mentally unstable. They gave up so many big leads :-( Duncan was at his absolute peak, but not much around him (rookie Manu, 2nd year Parker, streaky SJax, last year Robinson).

I will never understand people when they say 03 was the best. They gave up every big lead they got. I think 99 was the best followed closely by 05. The 03 team would not have beaten the Pistons in 05...too mentally weak.
