This is a great sign for the Spurs. Lakers have Gasol and Bynum injuried. Mavs have Dirk out. Yao out for Rockets. Keep ur eyes on injuried list and/or suspensions. History shows all three championships the Spurs won had this common occurence. Other teams star players are not in the mix when Spurs win championships.I know what some of you are thinking. No back to back championships so no matter who is on the floor the Spurs will lose this year. I say to you antagonistic folks those years in between, teams had a healthy, non suspended players. One of those years Timmay was out and Spurs were out first round too. I'm just saying there are signs pointing towards another run!!!!! Time will tell.

All I can say is that I'm glad you're a Grizzlies fan posting a jinx thread like this.

Rules of the jinx:

1. Whatever JimCS50 posts regarding the Spurs, the opposite will occur.
2. Never post threads about other teams' players injuries somehow helping your team win.
3. Never post threads about a series being "over" before it actually is.
4. Never post a thread with the score in the le proclaiming that one team is blowing out the other unless you want the losing team to come back...it always happens.
5. Don't change your underwear at any time during the 82 game season or playoffs.


Follow those five simple rules and you should not ever jinx your team again. Luckily for me your team is the Grizzlies.

A sincere thank you from the bottom of my heart, Jack. You may not be a psychic, but apparently I am. See post #10.

Jack's earlier comments regarding Manu...

Ladies. Mangoo cannot be a starter. He is a wild unpredictable animal. He would get into foul trouble. Off the subject. When Mangoo was a child what was his pet llamas name?

Oh rly?
Name one major injury to a team the Spurs played in the playoffs when they won the le. And KMart being out, Johnson wearing a face mask and Stoudemire being just plain stupid does not count.

It would never guarantee a championship, until we finally hear the final buzzer. But for all it's worth, it would certainly raise our chances of beating winning teams like Houston and the Lakers (which were having difficulty of doing lately). Dallas, would probably be doomed, if Dirk never shows up for the rest of the season.

The biggest thing that sets us apart between the 08 O'brien is the Celtics. Lets pray that Garnett falls into a season ending injury before the season ends - or better yet, even if he does play in the playoffs, he comes back into his annual habit of taking the bow in the first round.

[SouthernFried]

People around the league already fearing another Spurs championship?

Too funny.

[101A]

Pop limits the minutes of his stars, and doesn't get that caught up in W/L during the regular season. The less time a player spends on the court, the less opportunity for injury. If the other teams fail to utilize this strategy & their players get injured, is it "luck" for the Spurs who get to take advantage of that? When Grant Hill or Shaq go down in the next couple of weeks? Didn't we all predict that could happen? Is that bad luck, or is it something Kerr should have taken into account before he made BOTH of those guys vital parts of his team's rotation...starters even?

I say it's by design.

they don't need to. they have a coach with a vagina

good point 101A, what a stupid coach suns has who plays only 8 players total. what is the purpose of having bench if he is gonna play starters for all 48 minutes.

Since when did anyone count the strike season as a championship. Someone said in this thread to name names of injured players. Chris Weber, Dirk Nowitzki 4,5years ago were out durning the playoff series that lead to a championship. And yes Weber actually was a great player back then and the Kings were as well. Dirk went down in game 3 at home and could have even the series 2-2.If I have time I will look up past series and exact years. Of course last year Amare and Dias were out.(suspensions) They beat the Suns. Those Warriors took care of the 67 wins the Mavericks came in with so Spurs had no need to bother with those guys. What was suppose to be a tough west, just like this year turned out to be a weak final 4 with even the Pistons falling to the Lebrons. None of this is the Spurs fault. They took advantage of it. Spurs are not a lock by any means this year. Lakers can get healthy real fast. Jazz can continue to grow.Mavs can be a problem if they even make it at this point. Suns will be interesting to say the least. Warriors are streaky but this year they are in the hunt only a few games out of 1st. I'm not counting much from Hornets,first timers or Rockets,no Yao I am just saying with the injuires to the 4 players I mentioned hurt this year reminds of older days. Its an opinion based on who the Spurs actually played durning the championship runs and who was hurt. Thats it. All I know is when Duncan was out years ago they lost in first round. Understandable and everyone knew the Spurs had no chance that year without Duncan. God forbid you mention teams without there studs some find offence. I love the NBA. I don't or ever had a favorite. Deja vu this year. Maybe. Still 3-4 weeks left but keep a eye on the injuried list.

yep.. 82 game regular season can be tough

Keep your eye out for people who post without paragraphs. History shows that these posts typically are not worth reading.
