Who the cares about 50 win seasons and playoff appearances? It's all about les, that's the only thing that matters IMHO.
The bottom line is for all the greatness of the Spurs this decade they have yet to repeat. And don't act like there was great compe ion after the Lakers disintegrated in '04. The biggest threats in the WC were the Mavs and the Suns for God sakes.
No one respects your opinion, especially when you try and discredit the absolute consistency of the Spurs. If it is about les, then once again the Spurs and Lakers have the same amount in this decade. The Spurs were always compe ing for a le in this decade, you cannot say that about the Lakers.
Yes because the Lakers had to rebuild midway. And it only took them 3 seasons.
You'll appreciate how fast the Lakers were able to do just that when you watch your Spurs become a cellar dwellar for the next decade or so as they try and pick up the pieces post Duncan.
No more evident then when they "fight", if you can call it fighting. My 8 and 9 year olds look more prepared for an actual fight than 99% of NBA players.
I think Spurs fans are lucky that they went from one Hall of Fame franchise player, DRob, to another, TD, without skipping a beat. Unless they land another one the Spurs and their fans are in for a rude "rebuilding" awakening. While the Lakers were competetive and fun to watch between the departure of Magic and the arrival of Shaq/Kobe, they were not a championship contender, the Celtics on the other hand were tough to watch most years between les. Not sure how the Spurs will handle the post Duncan rebuild.
What a terrible argument. Without a terrible trade for Gasol, the Lakers would still be in rebuilding mode.
And ya, that 20+ million in cap space when Duncan's contract is up, along with a smart front office spells diaster for the Spurs.
The 3-peat is very impressive, but there's also that issue of being steamrolled twice in the Finals (including being the doormat in the upset of the decade). Kinda takes a little of the shine off the 3-peat, IMHO.
Who was the last major FA to sign with the San Antonio Spurs?
Face it, your city is not an attractive destination for NBA players and with Popovich gone there won't be much of a reason for a top tier FA to want to come to the Spurs.
And what exactly has your FO done since getting Parker and Manu? Everything since then has been a spectacular failure (i.e. letting Scola go for nothing, the whole Splitter disaster). Face it, the Spurs can't mine for gold in Europe and South America anymore.....the rest of the league is well aware of the international talent now. It's going to take some lucky lotto balls for the Spurs to be able to rebuild a true championship contender. It may take 2 decades to do just that like it did the Celtics.
Is Jamstone the new Laker boy?lol
What more do you have to do when you are constanly winning 50+ games and winning les every other year while staying under the salary cap? What have the Lakers done since the 3 peat? What moves have they made that won them another chip? How much is their payroll?
Nice how you didn't address a single point in my rebuttal.
The Lakers don't need to prove that they can rebuild to become a top tier franchise to anyone. They've done so in nearly every decade with different sets of players.
We'll see how well the Spurs do when Duncan retires. I wouldn't be so optimistic. You couldn't even get garbage Corey Maggette to sign with you.
I wouldn't bet too heavily against the Spurs to rebuild after Duncan. They are second only to the Lakers in this department, and have only missed the playoffs 5 times to the Lakers 3 since they entered the league. Boston used to be able to rebuild, it took them 22 years last time. Most of this debate can't be settled now. it's going to take until 2010 to settle many of the arguments.
Thank you.
