Ouch!
Ouch!
is he that guy with aids?
i dont get it?
Scola could have stayed a Spur and take a lot of pressure off Duncan who would in turn wouldn't be as aged as he is now if he had Scola.
Just another what if in the NBA world
Calculated bomb, I saaaaaaaaaaaaaaid!
Anybody know which game this poster came from? I see Smush Parker laying in the cut so it had to be 2006.
And was that a foul on TD? He trying to give Kobe a Bynumesque elbow. I see he turned his head - probably to make sure his tongue ring don't get knocked out by the ball Kobe is jamming in his grill.
Considering Scola was traded before he ever played in the NBA, the question should be "how many les did Pop cost the Spurs by trading Scola?"
1 or 2 imo tbh
Scola was just made for you ers. I God's. He'd been just what you needed all these years. My God.
You humps stepped out the door on that one.
Whoops-e-daisy.
Good one
Don't remind meing ty front office
TBH I'm more interested in how many les the Spurs cost the Suns.
It's not 8 I can assure you that.
Probably just one, 2007, because the 2005 Suns would've gotten bukkaked by the Pistons.
1 or 2. Pretty simple answer tbh. I'd lean towards 1 le since the 2005 Suns would have IMO struggled to beat the 2005 Pistons in the finals.
The 2008 Suns would have lost to the Hornets if they beat the Spurs. That team was a walking abortion.
Phoenix in 2005 was a turnstile. 2007, that's up in the question. It really doesn't have a definite answer because Horry clotheslined Nash and then broke loose. 2008? They messed up a good thing.
The good thing was messed up well before the Shaq trade. The Suns weren't a contender after the Shaq trade but they weren't a contender before the Shaq trade either. Their big mistake was not getting Garnett and not firing D'antoni after the 2007 season. They waited too long to make changes when the stars were aligned for them in 2007 and they found a way to it up.
That lineup was worth one more shot at least, but sans Pringles. But Kerr, the genius, thought that bringing in Shaq would shore up theor defense. He has been done since 2006.
I disagree. If the core of Nash, Amare and Marion w/ D'antoni at the helm couldn't get it done in 2007 when it was just a three team race between Dallas, San Antonio and Phoenix, they weren't gonna get it done when Boston and LA were contenders a year later. Kerr ed up so much before the Shaq trade that the Shaq trade was the best he could do. It was also clear D'antoni stopped giving a when he had a press conference before the 2007-2008 season about how his main priority this year was to, "Get back to a more up tempo style, have fun and not have the 'championship or bust' mentality they had last year" (Mike D'antoni seriously said that because he felt the 2006-2007 season was "too stressful
Telling Marion he wasn't worth the contract he had (and yeah Kerr seriously did that even tho it was known how sensitive Marion was about feeling appreciated), making it no secret Marion was being shopped, and then pissing Marion off to the point where Nash and D'antoni had to do damage control and make Marion feel wanted again, all of which diminished his trade value was the mistake. By the time they traded him for Shaq, Marion wasn't trying anymore and they couldn't get anything better for him. Kerr eventually turned into a good GM but like every GM made several big rookie mistakes in his first year.
DoK, Do you think the Spurs can make the WCF with the way team is currently constructed?
Allow me....
No
Take a look at Matt Bonner and you have your answer.
