midnight pulp I like the name...you're a funny dude...but you see the problem with TANKING is that you can only TANK once in a lifetime so when the gig is up the ing gig is up...and when the gig is up that fat sings a horrible sound...Spurs RIP...
They did a great job of tanking seeing as two teams had a better shot at Duncan than they did.
But since you're a post 2000 Lakers fan with no sense of history, I'm sure you would've rather seen Duncan go to the Celts. If that had happened, Duncan in that market and all the money they would have thrown around, your arch nemesis would have further raped the Purple 'n Piss in the all-time Finals count, probably something like 21-10*.
(* les won in Minneapolis and before electricity was discovered don't count)
Buddy, you give the Spurs teams way too much credit. I'd take my 80's Lakers over that first team from the Spurs. No need to dig up all of the other greats we have. In fact, its an insult to the Lakers legacy to compare to the two franchises. Most of these fans you see here learned about the NBA when Duncan arrived, and most of them will fade away after this year. They have not the for ude to sit through another Laker dynasty. You have to understand that it sucks to be them, which is why they come up with the wildest to bring you down to their level of lowlyness.
you right...that resurrection of Laker greats to compare against the Spurs "elite" was dam near blasphemy...but I didn't think about it from that point of view...these Spur fans probably don't even know about the whole Sean E. ordeal...or how Popovich decided to start coaching after the infamous TANK JOB so he could get the Duncan glory...I can see these as fans who simply went to a River Walk Block Party because they got tired of seaworld...Instead of indulging in the historical bball fantasy they spend their time attacking me.

We don't have to go back that far. We dominated you during a decade when you had the best two players of the history of your franchise.
Whatever helps you sleep at night. I enjoy forgetting years as well. Like just the other day I was all, "Ya know, back in 2004 the Lakers beat the Spurs. But it was on a pretty questionable play. I think I'll forget that year." It's the same thing you guys do with 2003.
Spurs First Team vs Lakers First Team Here’s the bet -- If 50 years of gauranteed money and pussy were on the line which team would you pick. Let’s examine these wicked line-ups:
Guaranteed is spelled wrong, but I digress. And if you had game like MIB, then pussy wouldn't be an issue.
SG - GEORGE GERVIN VS. KOBE BRYANT PG - TONY PARKER VS. MAGIC JOHNSON SF - BRUCE BOWEN VS. ELGIN BAYLOR PF - TIM DUNCAN VS. WILT CHAMBERLAIN C - DAVID ROBINSON VS. KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR
Why use Bowen here? Why not use Larry Kenon?
Conditionally speaking, he'd match-up better on the 1st team because he had both the athleticism and power to keep up with Baylor, Johnson, or Bryant and at 6'9 with long arms, he'd be much more formidable.
While the Spurs first team would be great in an alternate universe no way I’m missing out on all that cash and ass…The Lakers win every match up on this first team decisively in my opinion. The TWIN TOWERS line-up on each side of the ball would be a delight to watch.
Aren't you already missing out on cash and ass...except for that dog above.
See the issue here is that there is only 1 basketball and 5 different egos. Who defers here? Not Bryant, legends or not he wants all the pub. Magic is a great passer but a sucky defender, you know that right? And what about cross match-ups? Elgin & Wilt both prefer the low block so how do you play that game with this team. You didn't specify playsets nor did you specify game pace nor did you establish rules like hand-check vs no hand check or zone defense or no blood-no foul rules. Weak.
Ask yourself, if you know anything about basketball history, has there ever been a team so stocked with stars, that has ever won the Finals?
If you know this game like I do, you know the answer.
3 super-stars in their prime is the max where it's happend. If a team has 4, the only way it works is if one is humble enough to come off the bench.
Basketball is a team sport in which roles need to be defined. What you've proposed here is a in' PS3 Matchup in arcade mode. Fantasy not reality. But I take it, that's how you live.
Spurs Second Team: vs Lakers Second Team
( This Spur 2nd unit vs the Laker all time 2nd would be interesting for a quarter then the Lakers pull away)
SG - MANU GINOBILI VS. GAIL GOODRICH PG - ALVIN ROBERTSON VS. JERRY WEST SF - MIKE MITC VS. JAMES WORTHY PF - LARRY KENON VS. PAU GASOL C - BILLY PAULTZ VS. SHAQUILLE ONEAL
Jerry West and Pau Gasol on the same court is almost like a wet dream, and Shaq would just all over the Spur second unit. These 1st and 2nd Laker units would work well against any team combinations imaginable and any extra Laker players outside of this could be anyone in the world because they would probably never see the court anyway. These Lakers units are just nasty with it’s Power, Speed and Versatility.
[/quote]
Bowen would play here and he'd play havoc on the short back court. Couple Alvin Robertson here and now you have two hatchet men who would kill that primary ball handler and the double-downs would be unreal. Those guards would have a hard time getting to the post.
Gail Goodrich. While he was on the 71 team that finally broke through after getting their asses kicked time & again by the Celtics, him being 6'1 & 175 wet made him easy to brutalize. Bowen, Robertson, & Ginobili would make this match-up physical. Worthy needs a pure passer to get those breakaway dunks he's known for. In this team, it would be like he was playing with Sedale Threatt not Magic. And that version of Worthy was little game and probably a contributing reason for his elevator/pros ute issue. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/...in575919.shtml
Coaches: Gregg Popovich and Bob Hill vs Pat Riley and Phil Jackson
Why Bob Hill? Bob Hill. I'm thinking that if we wanted a real indication of Spurs Coaches, it'd be easy to go with Doug Moe.
Ok...that's better. Cash is something we're all working for...but Pussy, some of us have a gift and mine comes with 32 DDD.
In the word's of a fake Bruce-Lee in the cheesy finishing of Game Of Death,"You lose Carl Miller!"

I'm going to share something with you about winning.
Because you were on the Laker teams? I hope it's a good secret! *bites nails*
I know you are new to this concept and will probably never truly understand, but your 2003 le came from us being bored with winning so easily.
What an excellent excuse! "Ya see, we were tired of being awesome. Instead of winning a 4th le in a row we thought we'd let other teams beat us."
This happens to all the great teams, of which Duncan has never played on by the way.
Ahh trolling. It's like a science to laker fans since it's all they have beyond jerking off to Kobe's face.
On average, we visit the le game every other year since the existence of our glorious franchise.
Oh do you? 1991-1999 beg to differ. Also "you guys" didn't win one of those les from 1954*-1971. So for 17 years ya'll were at best second fiddle. And again from 1988-1999. I hope they hung banners.
* - Minneapolis Lakers
Believe or not, we just get bored with winning, it happens in everything that comes so easy.
Everything that comes so easy like when "you" were getting your balls rocked by the celtics?
Pussy,
You get bored of pussy? I knew you were gay.
money, food, you name it. You can get bored with it when it comes so easily for you.
Food comes easy? Your metaphors really suck.
Not saying that you would even understand a word of this knowledge, but I'm just saying...
Are you dumb, or stupid, or maybe both. We owned you head to head, and its not even funny. Not to mention we entirely rebuilt our team in the same decade and accomplished something that the Spurs have yet to do in all of its meager history, and thats's get back to the finals B2B. This will go down as an ugly stain on Duncans career, just as the stains from Hakeem will remain on Robinsons career.
This is the problem with moron Laker fan who started flying the Purple 'n Piss Flag on their car when Shaq arrived: he has no sense of history and a limited understanding of events that last beyond 5 years.
The two best players in Spurs history as related to compe ion with the Lakers occupied the decade from 1995-05. The head-to-head record during that time is 3-3. Even if we throw in the Lakers 08 WCF win, the tally remains at 4-3.
Now explain to me how a 4-3 edge is domination you illiterate .
Guaranteed is spelled wrong, but I digress. And if you had game like MIB, then pussy wouldn't be an issue.

Mike Mitc shouldn't be listed as a PF. With a lifetime RPG of 5.6, he ain't anything close to a PF. I would use the guy who at 1 time was the World's Tallest Skin Diver. University of Jacksonville product. Artis Gilmore. He'd school Pau Gasol. in' school him. He'd re-pussify him into regressing into the 08 Gasol who shrunk on National TV against the Celtics.

Coaches: Gregg Popovich and Bob Hill vs Pat Riley and Phil Jackson

What are you some BLACK KNIGHT to the weak Spur fan rescue...you sound less than convincing but I hear internet Sabre Rattling... see the one thing you didn't account for was Phil Jackson and Pat Riley...the biggest ego managers in Sports History...that's how we pull it off...see Pop has never had to coach ego's so I can see how you would totally overlook that Mr...Black Knight...the only ego to contain with either unit would be Shaq's...Kobe's at ude stems from lack of quality players around him...
So with these players and coaches we'd run a combination of tri and showtime plays. In theory, the tri can function without any set plays. The offense is designed to combat anything the defense might throw Sagging defenses, light pressure, heavy pressure, and various zone defenses can all be broken by executing the Tri effectively.
But I applaud you for having the balls to actually make an ass of yourself and go against the grain of moral truth...
but your 2003 le came from us being bored with winning so easily.
If your team was so bored, then tell us oh so smart one...they why did your boys cry like es?
From the 5 minute mark on...I don't believe you are blind but hey, if you are...I see -ass crying. For boredom...that's a whole lot of tears.
Listen, little . If I'm going to allow you to post, I refuse to continue to edit and educate you along the way. Go back and learn what a decade is, then re-write this gibberish all over again.
Are you that intellectually disabled that you can't even define your own criteria?
David Robinson and Tim Duncan are the best players in Spurs history. Robinson had his first post-season meeting with the Lakers in the 94-95 season. I realize you weren't a fan then and the Lakers were completely overmatched but a win is a win, and the Spurs won that series 4-2. Next up was 99, another Spurs win. Lakers get two more, Spurs get one more, Lakers get the last one to close out the Duncan/Robinson DECADE.
And we violate your rules and add 08. 4-3. Hardly domination.
in LA school system, which sadly gets some of my taxes. Knowing they educate morons like you is why I'm a in libertarian.

In theory? What the do you know about basketball? I see you talking in general terms but please mother er...you throwing out that weak ass the tri can combat this and that ...well if it's so awesome that why is it only Tex Winter and to a lesser extent, Cotton Fitzsimmons, led teams had run it with any type of serious success.
Tim Floyd ran it after MJ retired and Phil left and what happened there? Failure.
Look man...There needs to be defined roles. MJ doesn't get les without an interior presence the likes of Ho Grant or Rodman. With that 1st lineup, who ing defers? and if you are running the tri...then why do you need a ball-dominant Magic Johnson?
Answer that one ass-wipe
Kobe's at ude doesn't come from the failure of other players. Kobe's at ude comes straight from his dad who felt he got pissed on in his time in the L and sent his son out to get what he never did.
So what the ever. While you are busting out your basketball plays for dummies book...recognize...this is pure fantasy and not reality. You cannot successfully play 5 superstars on the court at the same time running different systems, you won't get wonderment. What you'll get is confusion...and that right there is reality.
Have you ever loss to someone that was obviously lesser than you? Have you ever had that feeling that you just gave away your crown to scrubs? I doubt you have, but for a second just pretend that you have, then you'll understand the tears. It makes the Spurs no difference when we beat them because they know that they never have a shot to begin with, so you'll see no tears with those guys.
So, in essence, you're saying that they cared. Which totally runs counter to the statement that they were just bored. N'est-ce pas?
I have hard core proof that Spurfan have tried to change the meaning of decade, but for christs sake, just pretend not to be so stupid, is that too hard for you. We were 4-1 in the decade. If you dare go beyond that, then we still eclipse your miserable history. You trying to debate with me is like a monkey trying to explain the human genome. Know your role, kid.
You haven't specified anything. Just throwing out the word decade. I know you became a fan around May of 2000 after you gave away your Bulls gear, but you defined the decade as the Spurs having their two best players, which would place the decade between the years 1995-05.
The Spurs/Lakers did play in the 90s after all.
If you want to go back farther, by all means. I have no illusions about the Spurs being close to the Lakers as an overall franchise. Doesn't matter to me. You seem to be obsessed with denigrating the Spurs, which is quite funny actually. The Lakers don't even matter enough to me to troll one of their boards. Their 10 championships, 2400+ wins is nice, but it doesn't really incite me to hate. But I admit I have fun "debating" with their trolls.
Lakers will always be a team morons root for, which is why I made the decision, as a Socal native unlike yourself, to never be a fan of that circus.
Your post is full of so much speculation that it doesn't deserve a quote.
Until you prove otherwise I'll speculate till the end of time that you're a bandwagon, fairweather fan who would draw a blank if the name Randy Pfund was mentioned.
Shasta, I've defeated you on so many occasions that's its pathetic. Your so-called rebuttal is an insult to even the midget minds of your own ilk. You staying up late tonight to see if we lose? I'll let you in on a secret. For the past three years, we win at a clip of 80%, so chances are good we are winning. Have you taken the advice of Buddy to hep you get out of the recession that you currently enjoy? Just bet on the Lakeshow and you are guaranteed to win 8 of 10.
If consistent means that you've established yourself as the team that has the longest active streak in reaching the playoffs, then you've already lost that game.
This is a list of National Basketball Association (NBA) franchise post-season appearance streaks. This list includes the all-time and the active consecutive playoffs appearance up to and including the 2008–09 season.
Aside from the NBA Playoff appearance streaks, this list also includes the NBA Finals appearance streak and the NBA championships win streak.
The San Antonio Spurs hold the longest active consecutive playoffs appearance with 12 appearances, starting in the 1998. The Spurs won four NBA championships during the streak. The Philadelphia 76ers (formerly known as Syracuse Nationals) hold the longest all-time consecutive playoffs appearance with 22 appearances during 1950 and 1971. The 76ers won two NBA championship during the streak. The Boston Celtics hold the longest consecutive NBA Finals appearance streak with ten appearances between 1957 and 1966. During the streak, the Celtics won eight consecutive NBA championships—also an NBA record.
Shasta, would you politely shoo this midnight clown away, he's making you guys look bad. Also, your post signifies the typical defeated Spurfan. When you have run out of material, you jump on the Celtics nuts, but for once, I'm going to take a page out of your book. We have been the most consistent team in the history of the Sport, so according to your very own standard, we are the most successful team in the history of the league.
Based on what? Cuz I know it ain't les!
The sad part is you seem to know about basketball but you resort to trolling. Yeah you get stupid people to make stupid comments but what's the point? Does it make you happy or something?
Based on having more wins than any team in the league, period.
Is it based on winning % which would be a more accurate indicator of consistency considering some teams have been in the league much longer than others?
