Finally 555 posts after more than 5 (????) years of being here! I don't claim to be an NBA historian but this is probably one of the most difficult roads to the trophy that any team has ever faced, with every series being a potential best of 7.

Never winning back to back les despite being in a great position to do so was tough; 0.4 in 2004 and Dirkand1 in 2006 will forever leave a bitter taste in my mouth. Nevertheless, witnessing the spirit of the Spurs against a great Suns team has left me a Believer.

2008 is the year that will forever redeem the SPAM legion!



I've spent so much time on this board I can't even remember the exact period I joined. It seems to me it was somewhere around 2000, but the 03-06-2003 date tied to the "Formal Introduction" thread belies this. I came here ages ago, forsaking Spurs Central/Report/EzBoard because this was the place for fresher than fresh behind-the-scenes news and knowledgeable NBA talk. It is a testament to Kori and TimVP that SpursTalk has not deviated from this charter since it's creation.

I bemoan the drop in frequency of posts from the 'older' posters like Ghost, Marcus, and Rick Von Braun, but people come and go. Nonetheless, I dare say SpursTalk is even better now with people like Bruno. Having insiders like QueGee is the cherry on the cake!

Kori & TimVP - many thanks for hosting the best online community I've ever been a part of. You deserve major props especially when one considers that you haven't been making $$$ off this site. It takes commitment and die-hard good-will to keep SpursTalk running for so many years with minimal downtime AND keeping this a nice place despite all the trolls, re ed posters, and huge bandwidth-sucking banners!

On the subject of trolls and quick-trigger newbies: the ratio of noise to quality posts has gone up ever since you guys joined massively circa 2006. Your useless posts are making SpursTalk harder to appreciate these days, but thankfully, this forum has such a high throughput that useless threads are pushed to page 2 very quickly. I plead with you to read more and post less. It will make the job of the much easier... as well as the amount of $$$ they inject into this site.

Over the years, I've seen Avery replaced by Parker, Bruce taking over Sean's mantle, hoped that Derek A. would help bring another championship , witnessed Manu's emergence, lamented the departure of Malik - so many studs and duds came and went. The 2003 team is still my favourite though - I leave you with this great article on that team: Spurs transform unknowns into known quan ies.

On losing to the Spurs in the playoffs again - “It seems like every time we get to the playoffs we play the Spurs, and they beat us every time. They’re well-coached…they’ve got solid players…they understand what it takes to win. They were the better team

That’s why they are the champs. That’s the difference between the two teams. I think on paper we have more talent than they do, but they’re experienced. Their commitment and understanding of what they want to do is greater than ours. Their ability to play together and make small plays at both ends of the floor and do the little things is unsurpassed. That’s why I think a team like them has won as many championships as they have.

Superior Players Affirm Me! Yes, 2008 is the year we repeat!

everyday brings new reasons ... to argue.

No, it doesn't.










HA!

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Somehow this just seemed like the appropriate thread for post # 5000.

to the fight for 5, to the Spurstalk family, and to me...because I'm awesome like that.

You always sit back during the playoffs, and you see what a team has to do to win a championship, and you just say, its unreal. You have to beat 4 different teams, 4 times.

I mean its just UNREAL how tough it is!

[Avitus1]

Drive for Five...

[Kori Ellis]

Time for the Spurs (and their fans) to dig deep.

Championships aren't supposed to be easy and the Hornets are damn good. If the Spurs stay aggressive and focused - keep pounding the rock, they have a good shot.

Elimination games can be fun I'm looking forward to Thursday.
