This isn't a new Lakers Dynasty... This dynasty continues from the 3peat

What they are is a team looking to win a le because they haven't sniffed one in 7 seasons...better watch out...it could go 8 seasons.

Aren't you answering the question posed with the stuff that's in bold?

You even posted this...man!

So lets say Tim Duncan was injured in 2002 and the Spurs didn't make the playoffs that year, are you telling me that Spurs are no longer a dynasty because of that one year? You are contradicting yourself.........

If they didn't make the playoffs that year, then that stops that run because not making the playoffs, makes you an also-ran.

Fail considering no one on last years Celtics Roster was on the 60s championship team.....

This guy was.

The Lakers had a three-year period where they won 34, 45, and 42 games, and never made it out of the first round of the playoffs. That period represents a pretty wide chasm between the Shaq-Kobe era and the current one.

In the worst three-year period of the Spurs' run, they won 53, 58, and 58 games, won their division twice, and lost once in the first round (when Tim Duncan was injured), once in the conference semis, and once in the conference finals.

This thread is an utter failure.

So dumb. Some of u really need to figure out what a Dynasty is. Its not 3 no matter how you want to look at it.

You guys realize you're arguing with a 13 year-old?

This is actually part of the Mikan dynasty, despite a different city, players, coaches, fans, arena, logo, and almost everything single thing.

The thing that ties it together is the name and fans trying ridiculously hard to validate Kobe's legacy.
