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

[Thread]

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

ha, ha.

What time is it, CN? You have the cleanest clock on the Board.

tee, hee.

2008 Celtics? Maybe. Pop would've coached circles around Doc Rivers and Duncan would've gone ape playing KG.

I don't think anyone was beating Detroit in 04 tbh.

I dunno man, that Celtics team was incredible. They kept ing coasting and losing on the road for the first 3 rounds but ultimately, their defense was one of the best of all time.

04 Pistons vs 14 Spurs would have been amazing to watch. Best offense in the modern Era vs. Best defense maybe ever. I still think rip would have had problems stopping anyone. Tayshaun vs. Kawhi would have been fireworks. Diaw and Big Ben in the post would have been perhaps two of the most polar opposite bigs in history going at it.

We just won the Finals by 75+ points against an elite defensive team.

As mid stated they were very overrated, especially their depth. They also didn't have the chemistry San Antonio would've had. They had weak points on their D that Pop could've attacked (Allen and an inexperienced Rondo). I'd give the Celtics an edge due to talent and the Spurs nearly being too old, but the fact the Spurs at that point were regulars in the Finals would've been an important factor.

Don't mind Eduardo, his taco-riddled mind is still reeling from 48.5 and The Quit. Doesn't help their tank only netted them the 7th pick.

We just won the Finals by 75+ points against an elite defensive team - coached by Spo.

FIFY

You guys would hire him tomorrow and be howling about getting one of the best coaches in the league all the while.

2004 Pistons were nothing special. They wouldnt be able to score enough to beat the Spurs.

2008 Spurs were one of the weakest and oldest and fragile editions of the team Ive seen. Celtics wouldve won in 6

2008 Spurs were a weak team that was fortunate to destroy Phoenix's morale in game 1 of the opening round, tbh..Duncan's decline began, the role players were way too old, and Pop still hadn't made the leap as a coach, yet..the antiquated style of those Spurs wasn't going to beat teams that were more talented..

The 2008 Lakers weren't anything special(they were missing Bynum and Ariza, and relying on players like Vujacic and Radmanovic as key rotation pieces), and they easily defeated those Spurs..the West was pretty weak from 2008 to 2010, tbh..

The 2004 Pistons were the 18th ranked offense in the NBA, they played in a terrible Eastern conference, and were fortunate to have played an imploding Lakers team with an injured Karl Malone and old-ass, has-been role players..the 2014 Spurs sweep them, easily..

[TampaDude]

Don't know about the 2008 Celtics, but I think the 2004 Spurs lose to the 2004 Pistons. The 2005 Pistons, basically the same team, took us to 7, and that was with Horry having a monster Finals. Horry sucked in 2004. Pistons would've rang in '04 regardless, IMHO.

[100%duncan]

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.
