Parker: Spurs No Longer Championship Contenders

[DMC]

The above statement is coming from a poster who was bukkaked by the whole board in a thread, after which he picked a fight with the owner of the site and got banned.

Just needed to put that out there...

You've pretty much submitted to having lost this argument.

Good night.

[redzero]

My point is, they never lose if Manu doesn't get injured the last game of the regular season, in a completely pointless game he should have never even suited up for.

And you know that how? Why are you bringing up the injury card? It's mind blowing that you would use that excuse, even though Memphis was missing an essential wing for the entire series.

You claiming that Gay would not make a difference in this series and brining up Manu missing one game is laughable.

[John Basedow]

I can play this game as well.

Of course Duncan, Ginobili, Parker don't = Wade, Bosh, James. You're really terrible at arguing, by the way. You named 3 players in the rotation of the Spurs, it had nothing at all to do with whose big 3 was better.

To be honest, though... Duncan/Parker/Ginobili are better than whatever 3 you want to throw out for the Bulls, Mavs or Thunder.

You and DMC can't help being homers. It's no sense arguing with a homer at a certain point because they lack the emotional detachment needed to think rationally in discussion. Both of you clowns think the Big 3 is the same they were in 2005.

They aren't the same players they were. Not even close. They have the same heart, but the body's just not there.

[joshdaboss]

Correct, because the three Heat mentioned have 1 ring between them. The Spurs mentioned have 10.

Well, I'm not delusional. I know Miami's big 3 is better than the Spurs big 3. They have 2 of the top 5 players in the league. That said, the Spurs are a lot deeper than Miami, imo. I do think Duncan would eat Bosh/Anthony alive, though, even today.

There it is, folks! Claim victory after getting bukkaked then turn tail.



forever gnsf. Thanks for giving us all a show again, DMC

The Spurs haven't been contenders since they got shafted by Joey C the 2008 WCF.

These are things we know

...and your credibility is now gone forever. Thanks for the laughs, buddy!

Except for Tony (the youngest of the Spurs' big 3) ting the bed in the first two games, TD/Manu/TP were not the reason we lost the series. They're just not as dominant as times past, thus the real need for the rest of the role players to step it up much like the did during the season. It's not rocket science. Miami has a Lebron still reaching his prime, Wade in his prime. Chicago has the league MVP in Rose, a top big defender in Noah, and a above average scorer in Boozer.

We don't have that kind of advantage anymore. I don't know about our big 3 being completely done (maybe they are). They're just much more reliant on the players around them bringing something to the table. Be it on defense or offense. We also have a much less margin of error on one of those guys not showing up.

What the Spurs have going forward is a ty salary situation to try to build a better/younger group to surround whatever is left on the big 3's tank. Which really looks fairly dim. But anything can happen in basketball, that's why we watch.

What was Memphis' record with Rudy Gay in the lineup again? Refresh my memory, please.

[John Basedow]

Tampa, I thought the ref excuse comes before the injury excuse here at ST?

You gotta teach these youngins the right spurfan way

We just need a guy like KD that gets 20+ freebies a game... crofl

There it is, folks! Claim victory after getting bukkaked then turn tail.

Interesting how you assume you have an audience, like this is a school yard and you have a crew. Can't you stand on your own and support your statements without calling for backup?

The bukkake reference is so juvenile. Got anything a bit more seasoned?

forever gnsf. Thanks for giving us all a show again, DMC

There's no "us". Its you. You have to support your own claims. No one else can do that for you, and all the verbal gymnastics and show boating in the world won't change the fact that you haven't supported your claim that the Spurs were a gimmick team.

Since you went to nothing but trolls, there's no need for further discussion. I haven't claimed any victory, just that you have obviously lost.

Critical thinking isn't your strong suit.

[joshdaboss]

...and your credibility is now gone forever. Thanks for the laughs, buddy!

According to a guy who is getting on by 2 different people. lol Consider the source.

Fact remains, the Spurs bench s all over Miami's bench. There's absolutely no comparison.

[John Basedow]

Critical thinking isn't your strong suit.

Think realllll hard about the irony of that statement, coming from you.

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

I'm all for ting on the Spurs, but it takes a real pussy
to say something like this about his own team. is pussy and Spurs would be better off w/out this sellout .

[Muser]

So Tony should of said the Spurs are gonna sweep through to the le next year? He's only saying what we all know,barring some miracle trade.

I now Knight thee Sir...

hardy, har har.....surely you jest

gnsf joshdaboss with the gold if Manu healthy talking

Grizz kicked our ass because our frontcourt sucks. Give me one PO team with a second starting big or primary big coming off the bench worst than the spurs ? Kurt ing Thomas would immediately be our second best big man.

manu injured
we were the better team
if Pop plays Manu in the first game, we would have won the west
