You Bullz fanz aren't exactly the zharpezt toolz in the zhed...are yaz?
Im not much of a spurs fan but here is my pick
1- 2003
2- 2007
3- 1999
4- 2005
2005 was the best. They beat an excellent Detroit team. Plus, Horry still had game.
1999- Big Dave could still play
2007- Tony coming into his own makes this team super good.
2003- Manu and Tony were not what they are today.
I rank them like this
2003, 1999, 2005, 2007 > 91,92,93,96,97,98 Bullz
Seconded.
this is how I rank it.
2003, 1999, 2005, 2007> 91,93,97 bulls
92,96,98 bulls > 2003, 1999, 2005, 2007 spurs
That's funny, I rank the 2003 team as the absolute best. Their finals was knocking out the 3 time defending champ Lakers.
3 Time Defending Champs haven't been beaten a whole lot in NBA history...when their teams haven't been stupidly blown up by their FO I mean.
Agreed. The 2003 team is the weakest of the three. The FO was just biding their time for DRob's contract to expire then they could load up the next season. Luckily they meshed and gave him an incredible farewell gift.
That Lakers team was on the verge of collapse anyway. They gave it one last shot in '04 and blew it up.
That Laker team was exactly one shot away from breaking our backs and winning another le....and they came back the next year and broke our backs and went to the finals.
If we had Nazr or Oberto instead of Drob we wouldn't have beaten them. Sorry but we wouldn't have.

1999
everybody forgets how good malik rose was in 2003
2005.
Although 2003 had to play the Lakers, but I think 2005 was a better team.
The next year they had Malone and Payton, minus an off his game Horry, not exactly the same team as in 2003.
I will grant you that if we replace DRob with one of our current centers, we wouldn't have won. That kinda helps prove my point though.
I have changed my mind so many times on this topic I gave up. The 2003 team had Duncan at his best. The 1999 team had Duncan, Robinson in their primes, and great defense. The 2005 team had Ginobili at his best, and beat a great Pistons team and a very good Nash/Amare team. The 2007 had a lot of experience, and Parker was better than before. And each year their were various role players who added different strengths, so take your pic. I have seen people list any of the 4 years as the best Spurs team, and their is no consensus.
True dat. Horry could have killed us with his last second 3 in game five, just like Fish did a year later... freakin Lakers.
Hmmmm, the 2003 team was probably the weakest of them all, yet they beat the nemesis Lakers which indicates otherwise... the 2005 team played tough series all the way, and beat our best Finals opponent by far in Detroit, but they only played 7 deep... the 2007 team basically rolled through three of the four series, and they always had an answer for anything that was thrown at them, but the opposition was weak (except the Suns)... and 1999 schooled everyone in the playoffs, but it was an odd season and it's hard to say they were better than 2003 or 2005... I SIMPLY CAN'T DO IT. I love them all.
The 2005 team was probably the best. But it might be my sentimental nature coming to the fore, but I always think that 1999 team was the best.
Wasn't there a thread a while back where Insider rated the NBA champions?
The 2008 team may be the best yet.
I vote for the 2007 Spurs.
I think 2007 is the best I've seen Duncan play, better than the 05 version for sure, who struggled against Detroit and the obvious reason being that Parker of 07 is so much more complete and lethal of a PG than previous years.
Other Spurs teams had tougher roads to the le, but the 2007 version had the most offensive efficiency to go with the steady Defense.
2003, 2005, 1999, 2007
1999.
The 1999 team swept two very good teams, the Lakers, who won three straight les after 1999, and the Blazers, who should have won their 2000 series vs. the Lakers. No other Spurs team came close to 15-2 in the playoffs.
1999 and 2007 teams i think are equal. The 99 squad still had a very good D-Rob to go with a great Duncan and Elliot was still good as well. The 07 team featured a dominant Duncan, and all star type players in Manu and Tony. That team represents the height of the so called big 3. Lets face it you can't argue with a finals SWEEP!!!!
2005 team- Great team overcame a lot that year mainly Duncan's injuries and that 05 Piston team was a GREAT squad and i was never prouder of my Spurs for battling that one out to a 7 game finals win. Would have been over sooner had Tony been then what he is now that is why i put the 07 squad ahead of them.
2003 team- Really came out of nowhere, nobody thought the Spurs would win it that year. They figured they were too young and it was going to be a Lakers 4 peat or the Kings finally getting crowned. Young guys like Jackson, Manu and Tony came along faster than expected and great veteran leadership from guys like Kevin Willis and Steve Kerr helped a lot. the 03 season to me is when Duncan went from one of the best players in the league to an all time great. He was the MVP of the season, MVP of the playoffs and MVP of the finals he almost personally saw to it that D-Rob who was on his last legs would go out a CHAMP!!!!
