_Do the Spurs look like Champs to you?_

[Sportman]

Well i must obviosuly say this team is a serious candidate because of their players, but i dont know if spurs are having a great season. Yes of course they have great numbers, nevertheless; i think this year spurs has not been playing so consistently as previous years. For example if we look at pistons their five starters have been playing great basketball while spurs has maybe had one player who has played regularly, TONY. Manu and Tim have been struggling with injuries, and Maybe NOW we know who should be the center, NAZR, but that`s not still something sure. So if you ask me, i think this is not a year for spurs, i see and i feel pistons are better and they have more confidence in their play.

They look like Champs to me. Why the do you guys jump off the bandwagon after a loss? You don't see the Pistons fans crying and ing about how they don't deserve HCA, the Spurs are going to own them, and how Ben is Shaq's . STFU already.

Yeah the Spurs played bad, but it's not the end of the world. Sometimes I wish mouse was still a Spurs fan, along with most of the Piston fans. At least they don't jump ship every ing time. Spurs fans are ing spoiled.

Good point, i didn't really feel disappointed with that Sonics loss

Spurs, for their inconsistency and injury issues, are 10-4 during the same time span with losses to Clips, Lakers, Nuggets, and Sonics.

Not saying Spurs are gonna win it all (though I am certainly hoping), just pointing out that even without having to deal with injuries the Pistons have not impressed this month.

Are the Spurs worthy of the 2006 NBA Championship? Was tonight a sneek peek at what will happen in the playoffs? Or just a bump in the road?
be Honest.
Do the Spurs look like Champs to you?

No, not at this moment.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

The Lakers 2nd and 3rd b2b2b championship teams didn't look all that great during the regular season either. The Rockets b2b team of the 90's won what, 47 games before the playoffs?

This team has the personnel to win it. We'll just have to see how much they want it once the real season gets underway.

[cheguevara]

No, not at this moment.

neither does Dallas or Detroit at this moment

[Mog]

No, not at this moment.

Will you know after tonight?

[Pokey]

I think they do!

[polandprzem]

One win and already wooohoooo?

[Smackie Chan]

One win and already wooohoooo?

one loss and it's BoooHoooo! so why not?

[polandprzem]

one loss and it's BoooHoooo! so why not?

Because of the cr ics on the boohoo's


(You do the same)

[Slo spurs fan]

Yes.

[Dunc]

I'm just glad that there's no back to back games in the playoffs. But the spurs definitely gotta start winning the close games. Maybe they should watch some march madness and see how those kids finish off the close games.

Once again, yes there are rare b2b games in the playoffs. And I don't think you want to finish games like the college teams. Those games usually come down to the last team to make a mistake, ya know?

[theroc5]

we go through the same questions every year, do the spurs look like champs? well lets look at last season, we looked horrible. so many had the question, can we win the ship with duncan not at 100 percent. well we did. we seem to shape up in the last games of the season and the first round of the playoffs. and our team isnt tired when they reach may/june beacuse pop is smart and plays our spurs for 35 min agame. while the pistons play 43 min agame.
what i am trying to say is that we still are the champs, we will be so intill we loose 4 games in a series in the playoffs and if history repeats it self we will have that winning mentality and our swagger very soon. manu and tim are shapen up great and its all comming together.
