05' Pistons were pretty stacked imho they defeated the Lakers big four the prior year.
nah, its not my style, but carry on

No you got, they tied in series too.
Duncan won in 99
Shaq won in 01
Shaq won in 02
Duncan won in 03
Shaq won in 04 (but he was lucky)
Duncan won in 08
So it should have been 4-2 Duncan if not for Derek Fisher's BS 0.4 shot.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
I already killshotted the Luva/Kool tactic of talking down Duncan. http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=234742
Just let them do it. The more they do, the more it shows Kirby has never beaten any greats in the playoffs.
They have to pick their poison:
Talk down Duncan as a weak all-time great (outside the top 15)=Kirby has had the easiest le runs in NBA history, never really beating anyone.
Or they can acknowledge Duncan's greatness, which would also prop up Kirby, making his le runs much more meaningful.
Kobe Bryant is the lone wolf here, Midst. He's the only one since Jordan that has repeated three times over. Duncan? A big, fat, Zero.
You ain't done shiiit beyaaaatch!!!!![]()
Repeating an NBA championship is worth twice as much as two non-repeat les. Quite frankly, it's Kobe 8 Duncan 4.
Alpha rings are worth more than role player rings. Quite frankly, it's Duncan 4 TOSB 0.
Duncan couldn't repeat, the poor bas .
I'm thinking Duncan should be relegated to a 3-time NBA champion if he loses again, this year.
It would still be Duncan: 3 alpha, Kirby: 0 alpha & the bag for life. Christ!
That means Duncan is overrated and not really that great of a player if he couldn't repeat, meaning Kirby never really went though any all-time greats on the way to his les.
So to denigrate Duncan is to basically admit Kirby stacked les and repeated in a relatively weak era, where no other team/players were capable of repeating.
I mean, take the Spurs out the equation, and who did Kirby really beat?
Those "awesome" Kings teams? They had a peak of one ing year and then were quickly back to irrelevance.
The Jailblazers?
Carmelo's Nuggets?
The Jazz, with the amazing Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams?
Yao-less Rockets, whose best player was Aaron Brks?
Dwight Hward?
That 50 win Celtics teams full of past their prime players?
Pick you poison, .
I'd also say making back-to-back Finals right now is more impressive than Kirby's repeat.
I mean, really. He had to go through such juggernaut teams as the Aaron Brooks' led Rockets, Deron Williams led Jazz, the Thuggets, the old version of the SSOL Suns, and then found himself in the Finals against Dwight Coward's Magic, who were without Jameer Nelson and whose best wing was Hedo Turkeyglu
Then he gets gifted an old washed up "Big 3" Celtics team that was only there because Lebron tanked.
Meanwhile, the Spurs have to go against the potential in' GOAT who is at his peak.
It doesn't matter what road we took to claim our thrones. The mere concept of repeating an NBA championship, back-to-back, is what's so damn ing impressive. It's the hardest thing to do in sports, Midst. Use ya's ing brain!!!
It is impressive, . After all, when James repeated, he sentenced your Kirby to life in the bag, no parole.
Sorry, I think Kirby's repeat is overrated just like he is as player.
Those were some of the weakest le runs in NBA history.
Jim actually beat Shaq and Kobe in their primes, which is something I doubt Lebron would be able to do. Jim also beat Dirk many, many times since the 2000s. Jim's legacy is secured whether or not he beats Lebron this year. Remember, a 38-year old man with gimpy leg isn't supposed to do this against the best player in the world, but Jim is doing it.
Who missed more back to back playoffs, tbh... Kirby or T-Mac?
Well... no one really counts the lock out season... but they do, I guess.
Fair enough. Duncan's a 2-timer if he repeats losing in the finals.
Now they scrambling to elevate James to GOAT status to soften the blow of Jim being a two time loser to the same team back2back. I'm sure Boris and Re will go down as all-time defensive stoppers as well.
like i said the only legacy that be effected is duncan
i dont know what legacy that midget enrique has, but he has no point hero balling or padding his stats and forfeiting games due to his selfishness in situations not needed....
remember another loss, ppl will blame it on duncan when enrique for the last 7 seasons has been handed the leadership keys, if ur the leader and u dont shoulder the fail losses then what are you? fake ass leader?
The Spurs' ascending to back to back Finals is a direct result of injuries to Chuckbrook last year and Iblocka this year. Otherwise it's the Spurs' status quo.
At least when y'all lose again this year, LkrFan can no longer say the Spurs haven't repeated.![]()

stopping BEGGING for attention got
im surprise laker s dont bring up the what "if" game had kirby not going down and staying down with that monster contract...
