Never Underestimate the Heart of A Champion

[spurs10]

Never underestimate the fail of every negative, faithless spoiled fan on this thread. Please don't watch the game, you're bad vibes are bad luck.

And here's some sullying for you. The 90's Rockets routinely raped MJ and his Bulls whenever they met. Just so happened that the 2 years we were able to actually get to the finals 1st year) MJ was striking out at the plate 2nd year) Orlando beat them in the East semis.

I doubt they routinely raped them! But playoffs were completely different then for the Bulls, they would step it up ten notches! I agree on the Orlando thing though, but that was only because MJ was not in game shape yet. Most you win is one if you meet them twice, seriously.

TBH it's been a pretty long time since I have seen that kind of passion in the Spurs as a whole. A few years ago this team used to out-right refuse to lose and be pushed around by anybody, be it 1st or 8th seed. Those were amazing times, and a privilege to have watched.

I still think Spurs can take this series but I'll have to wait and see if I'll be able to say the same thing after game 4.

[mexicanjunior]

Yep. But don't take my word, you'll get a chance to see it yourself. (In the meantime, remember how the the young excited hungry NO Hornets, up 3-1, wore down against the old Spurs.)

The Hornets series was 2-2 going into game 5...home team won every game except game 7...

As I predicted before the series, Grizz win in 6...series was lost the moment Pop played the starters in the Suns game to end the season.

Indeed, I think we last saw that spirit in '05, and to a lesser extent in '07. Permanently gone with Bowen's decline and departure.

LOL @ raped



Let's face the facts Rocket fan.
You won a le with a 35 regular season loses. You went the distance against the Suns twice, lesser versions of the team the Bulls took care of in 6 games. If not for the biggest underachieving franchise in NBA History (Suns) people would rank the Karl Malone Jazz higher than Olajuwon's Rockets.

Hakeem got knocked out in the 1st Round of the playoffs or didn't even qualify 8 of his 15 seasons with the Rockets! That's astounding

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah, let's not pretend like Hakeem had heart. It took a lot of late season rest by the coach, some of the most talented and clutch role players in history, Dennis Rodman refusing to guard anyone and a manufactured slight by the NBA to get him his rings.

Pop is a moron
Bonner 20+ minutes
Parker sucks
Spurs play no defense
Blair and Hill are more into twitter
Tim is old

the heart of a champion. This team looks more like a loser than a champ.

What an arse.

[Horse]

The Rockets actually repeated. Do not sully their name by comparing them to this gutless Spurs team.

You have your own problems with new orleans so off stain!

[rascal]

There's no lack of tools. This roster is stacked. It's Popovich's "system" and gimmick philosophy that's tanking the Spurs's chances at success. Ship the senile old fool out.

The roster is stacked only in your mind. The frontline is thin.

[Calispursfan11]

Gary Neal is due for a breakout game. Book it. Forget whether pop is senile. This team is too good to lose the next game. With some contribution from the bench, the Spurs have a great shot at game 4. Ye of little faith heed my comments.

[Calispursfan11]

I agree it is usally the ringless older guys who are retired who smile and want them to win, to get over the Spurs beating them or the fact they won nothing so they love to hate on the Spurs.

Sean, even if our Spurs lose gm 4, your cleavage is amazing. That in itself deserves a toast!
