2003 Spurs > 2005 Spurs > 2007 Spurs
Ok, ever heard that the Spurs are great, but not one of the dominant teams of all time?
Well, the facts show otherwise.
In the entire history of the NBA, only THREE teams have swept the NBA Finals 4-0, after winning the conference finals 4-1.
(no team has ever swept both)
These three elite teams?
2007 Spurs
1983 Sixers
1971 Bucks
No Jordan, no Russell, no Wilt, no Shaq, Kobe, Lebron, no Bird, no Magic, no Hakeem.
Just Duncan, Moses, and Jabber at the height of the peak.
Also note that the Sixers trailed at halftime in all four games against the Lakers in the '83 Finals, and that the Bucks beat the tiest team to ever play in the Finals, the Bullets, while the Spurs dominance in the first halves of games one & two of thr finals is unmatched in NBA history.
The Spurs had the NBA le won by halftime of game two.
In addition to the 2007 Spurs, we also have the 1999 Spurs that finished the season (regular season + playoffs) 46-7, the best 53 game finish by any team in history.
No Jordan.
So the next time you hear any chump-talk against the Spurs, here is another factoid brought to you courtesy of Galileo!
2003 Spurs > 2005 Spurs > 2007 Spurs
I would say 2005>2003>2007 but anyway the thread has no sense
We won 4-0 because the Cavs weren't very good.In 2007 we played the "real" Finals against Phoenix with Duncan being the real MVP of the playoffs
Galileo is quite possibly the worst poster of all time.
2006 Spurs > 2005 Spurs > 2007 Spurs > 2003 Spurs
We lost in 2006 due to Pop. No offense Pop.
2006 Mavericks > 2006 Spurs
Therefore the Mavericks are a better team than any of the spurs championship winning teams, and they didn't have to even win a championship, which shows how pathetic the Spurs really are.

How tall are you?
just a thought: what is this obsession in US sport forum to always rank things ? teams, players, of the season, of all-time etc ......
not particulary this thread, but it's amazing how many times people discuss about these top 3, top 10 or whatever.
you really don't see too much this kind of discussion in european sport discussion or forum.
once again, just a thought.
I stand by my pick of "Which thread starter makes you cringe before even clicking on the thread"
granted its the other way around, but lakers went 4-0 on conf finals (vs spurs) and 4-1 in the finals back in '01
but anyways, yes 2003 Spurs > 2005 Spurs > 2007 Spurs
2003 wasnt that great of a team.
Had the most talent no doubt, but was not the best.
maybe so, i am partial to 03 due to the admiral
05 spurs were our best yet
The 1999 squad was the most dominating. Not even close. We lost what, 2 games in the whole playoffs? The 03 squad lost two games in every single round of the playoffs.
2003 Spurs > 1999 Spurs
I hate mentioning the Lakers so prominently but you have to give credit where it's due.
1. 86-87 Lakers
2. 95-96 Bulls
3. 82-83 76ers
Honorable Mention: 71-72 Lakers
Personally I thought San Antonio's 1999 club was their best ever. They were devastating defensively.
None taken.
The Cavs were probably only the 6th or 7th best team in the NBA that year and easily one of the worst teams to ever make the NBA Finals.
Based on what assumption? After a bad start to the shortened season, the 99 team steamrolled through the rest of the season.
The fact that the 99 team lost only twice in the playoffs whereas the 03 team lost, what, 8 times doesn't seem to impress you.
If its about the better record then yes the 1999 team but i would think that every Spurs fan would agree that the 2003 team had the far better players(not just talent) than the 1999 team.
Elliott,Ellie,Johnson,J Jackson,Rose
or
Parker,Ginobili,SJax,Bowen,Rose(far better than 99)
IMHO the best team of this decade is the 2001 Lakers.
Their regular season record is nothing to sneeze at, mostly due to injuries and what not, but once they got healthy they steamrolled through the playoffs losing only once in OT.
Shaq in his absolute prime, Kobe in his athletic prime, incredible role players like Fox, Fisher, and Horry. That team would have given Jordan's Bulls a run for their money.
2003
2005
2007
2009
Lakers wouldve beat that Bulls team...IMHO
Wow DrHouse has an humble opinion ?
