Spurs: Would the Spurs have beaten the 2004 Pistons or the 2008 Cs?

[midnightpulp]

Tanking for 3 years straight won't work since Phoenix has their 2015 first round pick and Orlando their 2017 first rounder. The best thing the Lakers can do is let Kobe chase Kareem's record while they win 38 games a season and hope that's enough to get people to come to Staples.

I forgot about that.

"I trust MK."

[baseline bum]

Oh and I'm OK with another tank. We'll see what they do soon enough.

So that Phoenix gets a better pick?

[LkrFan]

I forgot about that.

"I trust MK."

I forgot about det too. Dayum.

[LkrFan]

Blake Griffin is just as big a star and a better player.

Why would Jim Buss, who is "poor" by NBA owner standards, operate for several years at a loss?

You don't believe that son. Blake goes as CP goes. And when his monkeyass athleticism goes, so will his relevancy. See 2014 Finals Wade or Cleveland's Shawn Blimp as examples.

I highly doubt the Lakers are operating at a loss. Maybe not as much profits, but definitely not a loss.

The years that we owe 1st round picks, we'll be in the playoffs. Guaranteed.

Still sucks that we're in this predicament though.

2015 playoffs? How the you gonna get that accomplished?

We have like $36M in committed contracts. We'll field a compe ive team with the remaining cap space. Whether that's Melo or Love paired with Kobe (who is 100%), + our draft pick - I'm expecting the playoffs. May be one and done, but playoffs nonetheless.

- det is why we put him back in the garage for a 76-game tuneup. He good now son.

Ever since he got cubby's bag strapped to him a 's got no lift.

- We'll see. Remember, he hasn't dunked on nobody in years. He has been playing beneath the rim for quite some time. Unlike Wade, he doesn't have to be the superior athlete to score on his man. He's adjusted his game and was having one of his best years under Pringles until he busted his Achilles.

we would beat 04' pistons imho. We beat them in 05 and I think the team we have now is only better than that 05' team. I doubt we could beat 08' celtics, a team of hungry veterans who were fighting like they would die after the series if they didn't win, tbh.

And then you woke up.

Both players are in win now mode, especially Love.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Then Kirby signs for 58.5

Kirby will follow up 48.5 with 62.4 to add insult to injury

You 100% sure we can't get either?

Finally, back on topic. You're wrong though. Both teams, during the years they were constructed would beat any of the Spurs championship teams.

The difference between Blake and DWade/Kemp is that he actually cares about his career, puts in work, and has been developing non-athleticism skills for the past three years....

Also, after that stretch last year where Blake played the best basketball of his young career with Choke Paul's heroballing ass sidelined with an "injury," the "Blake goes as Choke goes" excuse holds no water

2-game sample? What's next - 5year / $80M contract?

A 6-game sample size was enough for Kirby to pocket 48.5

CN, with a clean clock.

Though Fredo lodged the 48.5 for a whopping 6 games (2-4 record in that span).

ha, ha.

this guy. Gets completely demolished in the thread so much that he goes from "we're in long term rebuild mode" to "I hope we'll be ok" then tries to talk trash about all 5 Spurs le teams when his squad is responsible for 2 of the weakest le teams in NBA history.

[Cry Havoc]

If they got by the Lakers them two years? no. Those were two of the greatest defensive teams in NBA history. Otherwise Kobe is sitting on 7.

you farmers are the ones who went off topic.

You couldn't even stay on topic in your opening statement.

Not even sure why you're allowed to talk back to CN after he dropped 48 on your ass
