Pierce and Allen, sure. Who is the third guy?
I was doing my best Spursdynasty impersonation. I guess you were one of them that didn't get it.

What would 21 Blessings know about basketball?
Am I the only one that would love to see a picture of SpursDynasty?![]()
he has about as much credibility as this guy so it's probably him.

If the lakers opponents made more shots like they are supposed to, the lakers lose.
Lakers barring injuries are cruising threw the season just like I thought they would. They havnt even begun to start playing serious yet. And without the le of being last years Champions, imo teams bring more fire to Boston then to LA.
Teams can shoot the ball well but still not be a very good team. Example: 2004-2005 Sonics, 2006-2007 Mavs, 2007-2008 Hornets, and the current Lakers.
username fixed.
A 10-1 record isn't a good team? Best record in the NBA at this point isn't a good team? The team that eliminated yours in the postseason 4 times this decade isn't good? Well, I guess the whole league sucks.
I'm embarassed that my username has something in common with the creator of this thread.
Can I get a username change please?
Hate to say it, but I think the Lakers are pretty damn good, they're the team to beat right now, and Boston in the east again.
This was an extremely dumb comment...
The Celtics aren't that good - take away their superstar power forward and their back court, they are nothing...
The Cavs aren't that good - take away their superstar forward, they are nothing...
The 1990's Bulls weren't that good - take away their superstar shooting guard, , they are nothing...oh yeah - that is what happened in the Jordan "baseball years" 93-94, 94-95 - lost in the second round both years.
But this years Lakers team is playing pretty good defense - those teams were pretty horrible defensively (except for steals)
This thread is a fail - I think it is a vent by a very frustrated by injuries Spurs fan.
This has happened the 3 previous years. When the Pistons made the Finals in 2005 and lost they began the 2006 season 37-5. People were calling them the greatest thing, but we ended up losing in the ECF.
In the 2006 Finals the Mavs finally beat the Spurs and got a 2-0 lead in the Finals before losing to the Heat. The next season they almost win 70 games and they are also called the greatest thing, but they ended up losing in the FIRST round.
In 2008 the pattern stopped. The Cavs, the loser of the 2007 Finals, did not start off with an amazing record.
Now in 2009 the Lakers, the losers of the last NBA Finals have started off hot. They may be playing better than they are.
Basically, in recent years, the losers of the NBA Finals begin the next season on fire, but still have a tough time reclaiming the championship.
It's his shtick.
It's too early to make any final judgments. By the All Star break we'll know who are the contenders and who are the pretenders...
The Mavs started out 0-5. Fail. And dont compare the West to the leastern.
No, I think he had the right idea.
But they finished 68-14. "Fail". And the leastern has a better record against the West this year too.
Premature ejaculation...weak teams in the east got off to a hot start, basically flukes.
Do you really expect teams like houst, SA, Utah, and Phoenix to keep underperforming like this?
Notice that over half of those teams are giving their players rest, they know that its at the end of the season when they need their players most.
I don't care about the East being better than the West. All I care about is the Detroit Pistons doing well.
Teams rest their players late in the season. Houston is not resting anybody they are just losing. SA is not resting anybody those guys are injured. Utah is not resting anybody because they are injured. Phoenix is the only team that rested a player and that's because that guy was Shaq.
Its not about the West underperforming. The East is just doing better overall right now.
Actually, the Western Elites are adjusting right now, except for the Hornets (they're just underperforming or over-performed last year depending on how you look at it.)
Houston - Artest In, Battier Out
Mavericks - Carlisle in, Avery Out
Suns - Terry Porter In, D'Antoni Out
Spurs - Injuries
Jazz - Injuries
Hornets - WTF?
Once the West teams get over this, they'll be fine. Mavericks already look to be on their way to righting their ship. Houston is almost there as are the Suns. Jazz will be fine in 1-2 weeks. Blazers are hitting their stride.
The West will be a scary place again come January.
I love the unintentional creamage SD unleashes on new posters due to them taking him serious.
