Tim Duncan is the ONLY player left from the 1999 Spurs team

you stupid es
Idiot.
I like how the pistons fans have still know Det is better than SA
and det is better this year
sa is worse
yall IMAGINE
the calls that a healthy shaq, and his team are going to get in the playoffs
its going to be harder than they think to make their third straight finals
plus as jamstone pointed out (the biggest reason why the pistons are better)
Tim Duncan is the ONLY player left from the 1999 Spurs team
we still have to wait because i'm thinking those crapp t-wolves were the chokers, and it wasn't flip.
Weren't a lot of us Spurs fans saying that with Flip as coach the Pistons were going to suck? I think the team's performance this year should earn Flip a little more respect than he had before coming to Detroit.
And before someone says "BFD, all he's done is continue what the Pistons did last year," my response to that is "exactly." If he couldn't coach they wouldn't be where they are today.
plus
Tim Duncan is the ONLY player left from the 1999 Spurs team
If the Pistons win the Championship, and don't lose more than 3 games during the postseason, guess who's a .500 coach in the playoffs?
regardless
Tim Duncan is the ONLY player left from the 1999 Spurs team
Duncan was out in 2000 - simple reason for end of Spurs run that year. A very strong LAL hit a very controversial miracle shot at 0.4 in 2004 to help take out the Spurs, then Malone got hurt and Pistons beat the Lakers. Last year Pistons got to finals by most sportswriters consensus due to Wade's injury (in my opinion that series could have gone either way). Still the resilient Spurs won their 2nd le in 3 years and their 3rd in 7.
Pistons have a single friggin le in years since the Bad Boy Pistons.
Enough of their fan's smack. They are a strong and formidable team but the truth is they have accomplished very little vs the Spurs this decade. If they win this year, and that is still a big if as the injured Spurs team they manhandled will not be the same team they face in the playoffs (and if they get past Miami) then they can take their props.
By the way I will take my faith in Pop over Flip Saunders any day.

mookie2001,
I'm flattered, but I'm not single. Thank you for your interest, but if you could please get off of my , I would appreciate it. Thanks, friend.
What Pistons fans claim that the current Pistons team has accomplished more than the Spurs in this decade??? No other team in the NBA has been as successful as the Spurs in the last 10 years, especially with the Lakers not making the playoffs last season.
Why are you so concerned with the last decade? And does the last decade determine the outcome of this season? What does it matter?
Why, good doctor, do you need self affirmation? Don't respect the Pistons. I don't care. Think their championship was a fluke. That's fine. Think they get lucky because other teams get hurt. Hate on. While you get your panties all in a tizzy because you feel your precious Spurs don't get the respect you think they deserve, I'm asking you to hate on the Pistons. Please denegrate them. Disrespect them. Dismiss them.
I don't give a . I don't mind fans of other teams that need to hate on the Pistons and think they are pretenders. While you still need to justify the Spurs regular season losses to the Pistons with your side barbs of injury excuses. Pshaaa. Those games didn't even matter ... to either team. But, you still have to mention how the Spurs aren't that same team. Who cares? Apparently you need to remind yourself the Spurs are better than their performances against the Pistons this year to help you sleep at night.
For a guy who writes for a supposedly popular sportswebpage, you're about as unbiased as Barry Bonds on the topic of performance enhancement.
Go ahead and keep your rationales, your excuses, your feeling of self en lement to having the best team over the last decade. Embrace it. Revel in it. And, use it to continue to put down the Pistons. LOL! That's funny to me. And, then wait for the playoffs, and we'll all see what's up. There's a chance NEITHER the Pistons OR the Spurs even get to the Finals. Oh dear heaven, what will you do then, Rummpd? I'll send you a box of kleenex if that happens.

rummpd basically said what i have been saying, but less crudely, less insultingly and with more class
however hte underlying argument is still there
Pistons are no doubt playing 3lit3 this (regular) season...and they are champions...but they are not on the spurs level (yet)
There is no doubt that last year's spurs and pistons team were as closely matched as you can get...but when you got to the nitty gritty, you can't doubt that the Pistons collectively choked in that season-deciding fourth quarter.
Add this to the fact that all playoffs long we heard about how bad ass Larry Brown is, add again the fact that you now have a coach who has accomplished next to nothing in the playoffs, and I still fear last year's Pistons team more than this years.
If you don't want to read my non-crude post, then allow me to present a pictoral representation of the spurs-pistons relationship:

Great drive and dunk by Timmy in that pic. That depicts last year's relationship between the Spurs and the Pistons. The Spurs were better than the Pistons last year.
Congrats again, 8 months later.
What has happened in the past is HISTORY. And, especially in a dynamic animal like professional sports, the history is there to refer to, but it in no way determines the future outcomes. The Spurs have been the class of the league for several years now. They deserve every accolade, every compliment. And, they could very well continue their success for years to come.
That does not guarantee a championship this year.
And, Flip Saunder's playoff failures does not guarantee a first round exit for the Pistons this year either. It's something Flip can look at and try to learn from. But, his playoff coaching on another team with different personnel is not a good gauge of how his team will perform this year in the playoffs. The players are not robots.
You can do your cute little smack talk and post Flip's playoff record for you to stroke your penis to. But, it's about as relevant as the fact that in the seven year span that the Spurs have won three championships, after the first two les, the SPURS DID NOT EVEN MAKE IT TO THE NBA FINALS in the follwing year. Does that mean no Finals appearance this year for the Spurs? It means about as much as Flip's playoff record with the Minnesota Timberwolves does to the playoff chances of the current Detroit Pistons team.
At least with Flip, his most recent trip to the playoffs, he led his team to the Conference Finals series. If you want to refer to Flip's playoff record, you would have to realize that the Spurs have a bad history of not even making back-to-back NBA finals.
But, I'm sure you'll find some retort to refute how similar logic to your own presents a very unenviable problem to support an idea that the Spurs will be NBA champs again this season. It's ok. You're allowed to not respond if you can't think of anything to help your argument.

You are a very funny man.
I don't know what it is but remember when the spurs beat yall in 7 games
...ruined yall ugly style?
I don't know what it is but of course that was in the past, us country folk are slower
Are you kidding me?
The Spurs IN THIS DECADE:
1999-00: 53-29 - Lost to Suns, 3-1, first team not to repeat as Champions since 1985-86 Celtics. First Defending-Champion eliminated in first round since 1983-84 Sixers.
2000-01: 58-24 - Lost to Lakers in Conference Finals, 4-0.
2001-02: 58-24 - Lost to Lakers in West Semis, 4-2.
2002-03: 60-22 - 2nd NBA Championship in franchise history, Coach of the Year, Two-Time MVP for Duncan
2003-04: 57-25 - After 2-0 series lead, lose 4 straight games to the LA Lakers in Conference Semifinals. Second team since 1986 to not repeat as Champions. Only the 8th team in NBA history to lose series after 2-0 lead.
2004-05: 59-23 - 3rd NBA Championship in franchise history.
2005-06: 50-14 - Best start in franchise history.
395-161 (.710), 3 Divisional les, 1 top-seed in Conference, 3 Conference Finals Appearances, Two NBA Finals Appearances, Two NBA Championships.
1999-00: 42-40 - Swept 0-3 by Miami Heat. Grant Hill breaks ankle in 2nd quarter of game two, Pistons suffer their worst playoff loss at the Palace in game three and fewest points in a playoff game at home in franchise history (71).
2000-01: 32-50 - Did not make playoffs.
2001-02: 50-32 - First Division le since 1990, first 50-win season since 1997, First Coach of the Year since 1973-74, first Defensive Player of the Year since 1990-91, first Sixth Man of the Year in franchise history, first postseason series win since 1991.
2002-03: 50-32 - First number one seed in Conference since 1990, 8th team in NBA history to come back from a 3-1 series deficit, first road playoff win since 1997, first win in elimination game on the road since 1984, first series-clinching win on the road since 1990, first Conference Finals appearance since 1991.
2003-04: 54-28 - First appearance in NBA Finals since 1990, First home team in NBA history to sweep the middle 3 games of the 2-3-2 format. First NBA Championship since 1990.
2004-05: 54-28 - First Back-to-Back Finals Appearances since 1988-1990, first game-seven in Finals since 1988, 3rd team since 86 to not re-peat.
2005-06: 50-12 - Best record in franchise history through 62, 1st team in franchise history to have 4-All Stars.
332-222 (.599), 3 (soon-to-be 4) Divisional les, 1 (soon-to-be 2) number one seeds in Conference, 3 Conference Finals Appearances, Two NBA Finals appearances, 1 NBA Championship.
The winning percentage not-withstanding (and the subject of rebuilding for the current era - 258-132 - .661 in last 5 seasons), those look like pretty much the same to me. Neither team has repeated as Champions, both teams have been to the Finals and Conference Finals the same amount of times.
This isn't the Dallas Mavericks - a team you have manhandled in the playoffs in both 2001 and 2003. A team that hasn't been to the Finals in 26 years of existence. This season will go a long way to how these two teams are remembered, but thus far, it looks like a statistical dead heat.
I don't know what it is but too bad they didnt base the Finals on statistics!statistical dead heat
What I remember is a dead-heat. I remember the Spurs winning the first 2 games by 20.0 ppg, limiting the Pistons to 69 points in game one. I remember the Pistons beating the Spurs by 24.0 ppg in games 3 and 4, including holding the Spurs to 71 points in game 3.
I remember an overtime affair where Tim Duncan missed free-throws in the waning seconds, and Chauncey Billups missed key jumpers down the stretch. I remember a 2-point Pistons lead that became a one-point deficit off of a Robert Horry three.
I remember the Pistons winning by nine, making all the key plays down the stretch for their first win in San Antonio since Tim Duncan was a senior at Wake Forest.
I remember a 9-point Pistons lead in the second half of game seven on the road. I remmber Tim Duncan shooting 3-17 in his first 20 shots. I remember Rasheed Wallace sitting on the bench and the Pistons still having the lead. I remember a 57-57 tie entering the fourth quarter. I remember the Spurs winning the game by spreading the floor with their shooting. I remember feeling like . I remember being happy for the Spurs.
I don't remember a beat-down.
