the bird-celtics never repeated
what failure?
if you'd call four les failure, bring on the failure.
either way, im not blaming stern for any 'failure' you might be talking about.
im just stating the obvious fact that the nba/stern doesn't want the spurs in the finals for obvious reasons.
the bird-celtics never repeated
When a lot of people have already given the le to the Celts, Spurs taking it would be very sweet, beating the team that dominated the league with best record, along with the Repeat.
Get a split it Boston, and Celts lose HCA, welcome to 3 straight in SA. Their great season goes poof.
First, get out of the tough WC.
We have 4 rings.
Why do you give a what anyone else says?
It must be a pretty miserable existence to convince yourself that the league would actually make special efforts to undermine the chances of your favorite team.
If the Spurs don't repeat, it won't be David Stern's fault.
In all likelihood, nothing your team achieves will put the haters to rest. They are haters because they choose to be. Just enjoy the journey and the achievements. Don't spend too much energy paying attention to the Spurs haters.
Good consolation...Never a repeat though!
Fixed it for you
I consider the Spurs a dynasty. Bird's Celtics didn't repeat and they're considered a dynasty, if they are with 3 we are with 4 (especially with 3 in 5).
I want the repeat but I won't jump if it doesn't happen. This is my team, win, lose or draw.
Duncan was asked on Media day about the "even year curse." He said he had no idea what it was but that if the Championships came every other year he was okay with that.
I believe Duncan wants the repeat more than he ever has. He's got a war experienced cast around him. The West is as tough as it has ever been. It's a challenge I know Duncan will rise to. As long as he, and his team, leave it all on the court every game I'll be okay no matter how it turns out.
Of course, I'll be happier if I can watch Duncan raise both Trophies again in June. And I like my chances of seeing that.

They are consider a Dynasty becase they have 16 championships and many many repeats, who cares if Bird's Celtics didn't repeat?
What a dumbass!

Hey asshole with no ing life besides trolling a message board of a team you hate...I was talking about Bird's Celtics only, not the Celtics history.
Read my post again, where I said Bird's Celtics.
Reading comprehension, Louis. It's not that hard.
And can you read where I said
"Who cares if Bird's Celtics didn;t repeat"??
Read it again!
Then you've pretty much contradicted your entire argument. Which is even worse.
Bird's Celtics are condisered a dynasty.
That's the statement.
I thought you had me on ignore!
Anyways the Celtics are considered a DYNASTY NOT BECUASE OF BIRD BUT FOR THEIR RICH HISTORY,
but what?
we will be crushed , join the club
Rick Kamla's opinion on Bird's Celtics, the dynasty.
"Spurs/Duncan doubters love to point out the fact that the Spurs' dynasty lacks a repeat, but Bird's Celtics are considered one of the game's great dynasties and they never repeated, so what's up with that?"

Tim Duncan, 31, said recently that he could see his body holding up for five more seasons. In other words, the Spurs will be le contenders for at least the next five seasons, just as they have been the past five seasons. And when you think back on the Spurs' dynastic run of winning three of the last five chips, it could have been five-for-five if not for Derek Fisher's shot in 2004 and Manu's foul on Dirk Nowitzki in 2006.
Assuming the third-best Big Three of all-time stays healthy and under contract for the next five years, you gotta like their chances of at least duplicating the three-outta-five scenario.
Here's where I am regarding the whole dynasty debate. Winning four championships in nine years definitely qualifies as a dynasty, but it just isn't one of the great dynasties--at least not yet. Taking nothing away from the Spurs, but their run just doesn't stack up with the Celtics of the 60s, Lakers of the 80s, Bulls of the 90s, and Lakers of the 00s.
You may be wondering where the Celtics of the 80s were in that sentence. Here's the deal.
While that Celtics' team was better than this Spurs' squad (I'd call Celtics in 5.5 games if they met in a virtual Finals), the best stretch for Bird's Celtics was three les in six years. So the Spurs got 'em in that respect in winning three outta five. Furthermore, Spurs/Duncan doubters love to point out the fact that the Spurs' dynasty lacks a repeat, but Bird's Celtics are considered one of the game's great dynasties and they never repeated, so what's up with that?
Don't worry, Spurs fans, because your team will win at least two more championships, and when they do, your team will get its due and take its place among the game's great dynasties. And we won't have to apply asterisks or make qualifying statements or any of that mumbo-jumbo I get paid to mumble.
All we'll have to say is: Duncan's Dynasty.
Notice where Kamla said that Bird's Celtics are considered one of the games great dynasties? He says that separate from the 60's Celtics, which he also mentions.
So no, the Celtics are not considered a dynasty for their 60's performances alone.
Bird's Celtics are also considered a dynasty.
Which is all I said.
Oh, I take you on and off ignore depending on how bored I am. It's 2:00 in the morning, I'm pretty bored.
Don't take the bait d228.
Thanks.

Anything is possible but I don't think Kori has enough time in her life to play this fool.
ha. true that.
but still; i can't think of any reason that princess would want to spend so much time here..
she probably spends more time than alot of us avid spurs fans do.
ha.
