Just bumping the threads I'm supposed to bump

Funny if you look back at your posts from Jan 2008 in this thread. You were saying LAST YEAR was the last year the Spurs would be able to compete for a championship.

Yet, here they are, still causing Laker fans to troll on the Spurs board and worry.

Let me guess, you meant THIS year is the last year they'll be able to compete, right? Because everyone is going to retire and all we'll have is the Big Three, right? Oh WAIT A MINUTE, that's right, we got George Hill, Drew Gooden, and Roger Mason now, so I guess you can't use the too old/not gettinf any younger/everyone's gonna retire bit anymore on the Spurs.

Wait until Rasheed Wallace signs with the Spurs in the summer and then you'll REALLY be sweatin' things.

Hmm. Not to be a wet blanket, but how many more years has 'Sheed got in him? He's two years older than Timmeh, after all!

I'm hoping for younger talent, myself.

But I agree -- the Spurs we have now are perfectly capable of winning a championship this year. It's going to be an uphill battle, but they are capable.

Lakers with 3 Rings

Spurs with 4 Rings (even giving you your * 1999 championship)

It's between the Lakers and Spurs for team of the decade. If we include your 90's championship the Lakers are still only one ring away from tying the Spurs. The 3peat is the tiebreaker since the Spurs haven't even been able to put together back to back championships. With Bynum's emerging dominance, I'm pretty confident that the Lakers will deliver a few more Rings while he's dominating the paint for the Lakeshow.

Question is can the Spurs finally put together back to back championships and will Tim Duncan be able to stop father time before Bynum dominates the League?


My money is on the Lakeshow

My .01 opinion.....

The *1999 championship...it is what is...a championship! Even in a strike-shortened season; I imagine if the Lakers won the championship that year which would've resulted in a 4-peat, I doubt many Laker fans would have issue with the fact that it occurred in a strike shortened season.

Now as for team of the decade debate I would call it a draw....the Lakers won in the first half of the decade; the Spurs in the later half....I think it's fascinating to think that it was either the Lakers or Spurs that won championships this decade with the Detroit Pistons, Miami Heat and Boston Celtics winning in between.

Actually that makes it even more impressive that the Lakeshow was able to rebuild in such a short period of time after trading away the most dominant player in the league. Mitch and the Buss family did an excellent job.
