Lakers started 11-17 during their last Shaq/Kobe le in 2002.
I got into a heated shouting match w/ a couple Mav fan friends after the game last night at the AAC, going as far as grabbing one friend by the neck and pushing him to the wall (not all "bad-ass" like, but moreso "TERRIBLY frustrated, my friend didn't expect that kinda overreaction" like)...
...so NEEDLESS to say, I'm in need of one of these threads. And since there's already a meltdown thread...
-Spurs started out 6-8 during the shortened season '99 championship run.
Lakers started 11-17 during their last Shaq/Kobe le in 2002.
Suns once started 0-13 and made the playoffs.
Mavs started 2-7 last year and won a playoff series.
In the last ten years, the Spurs have won a championship in every season they lost to the Jazz at home.
Only 1 player on that '99 roster is still with us and he is much older and not nearly as dominant...grasping at straws now.
Didn't expect Fin to be the first one to post in this thread, much less 3 times...
...unless the first two were simply set-ups for the 3rd.
The schedule has sucked and the Spurs have challenged playoff teams so far.
I'll take it!
The thread wasn't created simply to keep expanding on the original suggested "piece of perspective".
In response to your argument, our PG in '99 was a lot older and not nearly as dominant as the one we currently have (when healthy, of course), and many say this is his team now.
Spurs making the playoffs is like 98%.
If we were in the '99 version of the West, I wouldn't be nearly as worried.
4-6 and that's pretty much without Manu and Parker. What's the problem?Didn't expect Fin to be the first one to post in this thread, much less 3 times...

Fact check, Spurs lost to the Jazz one time in the past ten years at home. Today.I'll take it!
Over a ing basketball game? I think you need help, or a hobby.
Posted this in the game thread but look at it this way, we're staying neck and neck against good teams with 2 of our best players missing... I'll take that for now... no reason to panic people.
the rest of the teams are not the same as in '99, they are better now and the Spurs can not afford to lose too many games and expect to close the gap after January, is going to be harder because the Western Conference is tougher this year.
wait...hows that possible if the jazz haven't won at SA for 20 straight times???
I know, right? I apologized rather profusely afterward. It may read a bit more violent than it actually was, but still, inexcusable.
[woosh!]
I believe timvp was making a joke, seeing as how they mentioned that (now) irritating stat about 50 times throughout the course of tha terribly disappointing game.
No problem, I suppose. After all, the point of this thread was to deny there was a problem altogether, so...thanks?
