Does 6 still hurt?
honestly i don't know and i don't care.
boiled down, 5, 3, and 2 > 5, 2, and 1
Does 6 still hurt?
48.5 will hurt for a while.
For 2 years only son.48.5 will hurt for a while.
Then Kirby signs for 58.5For 2 years only son.
04 Pistons were some tough SOBs. Hedo would have been your Achilles Heel (AKA Medvedenko). 04 Pistons in 5 over Spurs tbh.
Then Kirby signs for 58.5- Riiiiiiiiiight
Who stops PP? How bout RA? They're bench was vet-laiden too with Sam I Am, PJ Brown, and Powe. 08 Cs would have swept the Spurs tbh.
Pierce would've gotten his while Manu or Bowen contain Allen. Barry was still coming off the bench and wasn't done at that point. Parker also would've eaten Rondo alive at that point. Celtics might've still won but the Spurs would've put up as well of a fight as LA without Kirby to things up.
This is what you have been reduced to. After two years of complete inep ude, you only have to wade through 2 more years of being the laughingstock of the Western Conference just to potentially field a competent (read: not le contender but MIGHT get to the 2nd round) team again.For 2 years only son.
I thought the question was whether or not the 2014 Spurs would beat the two respective teams.
2004 Spurs vs. 2004 Pistons - of a matchup. Probably goes 7. Pistons probably take it.
2014 Spurs vs. 2004 Pistons - Still 7 games. Give me the Spurs but very close.
2008 Spurs vs. 2008 Celtics - Well, if healthy, it would be a good series. Celtics in 6-7, I guess.
2014 Spurs vs. 2008 Celtics - Spurs in 6, max. Ball rotation and swarming defense would have killed those C's. Pop would have just smirked as he backed off Rondo and let him shoot 33% for the series while locking down Pierce and KG.
Kawhi on Garnett would have been incredibly entertaining to watch though. Biggest loud mouth trash talker in the game vs. the quiet defensive phenom. Would be interesting to see if Kawhi would have engaged Garnett when he was running his mouth at all.
Brighter long term future, Spurs or Lakers? Stop playing checkers son.This is what you have been reduced to.

Disingenuous farmers these days. SMH
LDSesque post. SMHI'll take the champs' future over the Fredos', tbh
Pistons couldnt score enough to keep up with 2014 Spurs
Your best young prospect is a chucker named Nick who might be the worst player in NBA history to average ~20 ppg. and whoever you got coming at #7. Mr. Finals MVP would literally destroy both of them, regardless of who you guys pick up. If, however, you get Embiid I'll reserve my judgment until we find out if he'll ever play a full season healthy, but that's your best hope for relevance.Brighter long term future, Spurs or Lakers? Stop playing checkers son.
Longer term? We have Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, and Patty Mills, along with Diaw and Parker who are both only 32. Tiago still got lots of years left. And a couple of draft and stash prospects who could be good coming over. Yeah. The Spurs by a country mile.
Fredo has yet to prove that he has what it takes to rebuild or reload the Lakers. He has done nothing remotely decent since he took over Jerry (RIP).Brighter long term future, Spurs or Lakers? Stop playing checkers son.

The Lakers don't even have a player as good as Patty Mills to build on, much less a Kawhi Leonard
It would be hilarious if they drafted Embiid and he went down for the year in the first game of the season. I mean, not for Embiid, I respect the dude's game from what I've seen, but just for the Lakers franchise.

LDS? Does that stand for Lakers Do Suck?
We'll see. I'm sure you laughed after Showtime ended and after Shaq/Kobe broke up too.

Funny thing about defense, you don't need to score a lot. Defense still wins les. It would be the best passing offense vs. very possibly the best defensive team in NBA history. of a matchup, that's for sure. I think Pop would have found a way to exploit Rip at the 2, he was never a great defensive player, but even so, 1,2,4,5 positions were all ing monsters on that end of things for Detroit.
You had Jerry Buss back then. He ain't walking through that door, son.
Jerry was alive and running things still back then.... if that happened under Fredo, they'd be the Seattle Lakers right now
