When are Spurs fans going to understand that last season your team got lucky with Dallas playing a mismatch and Pheonix getting robbed?

once robbery is proven.

When are you going to understand that your team isn't invincible and to the contrary are very, very beatable?

once our team is getting beaten.

When are you going to learn not to underestimate your opponent?

once other teams competes in our level.

When are you going to understand that your team is getting older by the minute?

In this world everyone is getting older. Last time I checked no one is getting younger by the minute.

When are you going to understand that either Dallas and Phoenix are probably better than your team and can beat you any time any day if playing fair and square?

Depends on your definition of fairness..Looks like you are wanting to eject Tim Duncan (remember Joey Crawford) every time he plays against Dallas and Phoenix!!!

[RonMexico]

They better get Odom and Cook for Marion.

Kwame Brown would be a terrible trade.

[Fast Dunk]

i love this stupid in mismatch bs about the mavs & the warriors. when it comes down to it the warriors were just that, warriors, and the mavs did what they do best, choke, so don't come in here acting as if it's some fluke that the mavs lost to the 8th seed. in reality the mavs just flat out suck! if the mavs were anything they were hyped up to be they would had won that 7-game series but they are just that, hype. as for phx getting robbed, well you can't blame the spurs because phx has some dumbasses who can't follow the rules even though they get paid millions to play the game and you would had thought they would had read the freaking rule book by now. them both!



i don't remember anyone saying the SPURS are invincible. you're a dumbass. if we were invincible there would be no need for the league itself considering we would have won the finals every yr since our induction into the nba.



what? you make no sense at all. the SPURS don't have to underestimate their opponents especially when it's the cavs. 4-0. when's the media gonna understand they don't have to overestimate the talent on your ty squad?



really? yeah some of them, but if i'm not mistaken don't we have a bunch of 20+ yr olds on our team now? we even have a 20+ yr old finals mvp & all-star on our team. we have a another 20+ yr old all-star on our team.

plus it's such a cliche to call the SPURS old, but guess what? all these old farts kicked your teams ass in the finals straight 4 times, so where's your defense for that? oh wait defense.... i forgot cavs don't know how to play defense.



i love how you put this word in your question... "probably"! , so you agree they "can't" always beat us? yeah i agree they might win one here or there but does it really matter? no. and why? because we come off on top at the end of the day and end up making babies of both those teams mentioned. you gotta bring your "A" game not just your talking.

one last thing FastDunk... you don't care for the SPURS, you come here just to piss every SPURS fan off, you talk mad , and you add nothing of substance to any of the posts here on SpursTalk.com, so maybe you should go find a cavs forum instead and chat it up with your own kind. LOSERS!

The Truth hurts doesn't it!

Besides who want to talk about the damn suck ass Lakers anyways?

Even if Marion gets traded to Lala land, they will still suck big fat balls!

[Scola Trade]

No f****g way we'll give Manu by Marion. But I'm OK giving if we do Beno and Bonner

[saporvida]

The Truth hurts doesn't it!

only if youre a cavs fan. remember this when you are trying to rag on all us SPURS fans.... your team sucks! 4-0 finals and vs cavs. and we're for more!

[meta2007]

How about Shane Battier + Steve Francis for Manu?

For the sake of Manu, I want him to be a rocket.

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/feature...te=&cash=24:21

[saporvida]

how about manu aint going nowhere and whats with everyone wanting to ship his ass out of sa? i dont get it...

[meta2007]

For the sake of Manu, I believe the best team for him is Rockets. If Manu was a rocket, Rockets would win the le. And, Manu needn't to come off bench, they have Bonzi. And, Chinese fans would vote Manu in ASG. And, it is also possible for Manu to get a lots of business contracts from China.

[nkdlunch]

not to mention Manu would get mad asian punani

Manu wants to play with Nash, not with Tmac

[meta2007]

That's interesting to hear! Tmac is not a clutch player. Rockets deperately needs Manu.

Manu wants to play with Nash, not with Tmac

[Scola Trade]

Manu wants to play with Nash...

Yes... in the All-Star Game

[Hemotivo]

Yes... in the All-Star Game

Maybe, but he said he wants to play with Nash

[baseline bum]

Marion is a very stupid person. Did anyone ever hear the interview he did on Rome's show right after he got drafted? He couldn't hold a conversation, and got run from the show like he was one of their idiot callers. Plus, there was the time he was about to shoot at the wrong basket until he heard all the fans yelling "NO!".

[saporvida]

im sure manu is content where he is.

ps: are you sure manu didnt say he wanted to play "vs" nash instead of with nash? haha. all you gotta do to play vs nash is knock him on his ass and into the scorers table. down goes canada.

[saporvida]

Plus, there was the time he was about to shoot at the wrong basket until he heard all the fans yelling "NO!".

i've done that before... hahaha. it was a pickup game so whatever but it was funny as . god i gotta get on a league cause im dying to play some ball.

[whottt]

Personally I think this trade strengthens the Suns and weakens the Lakers...


It's not like the Suns ever defend anyone anyway...


And the difference is...in Odom they will have a bigman they can run the offense through in a half court set...and Odom is damn good at that. They become much more deadly in a basket trading situation...instead of relying on volume shooting and up tempo scoring, they can slow the game down and score at a high PCT...inside, something they have struggled to do since day 1 with D'antoni...and that's the main reason the Spurs have been able to beat them....and Odom can pass as well...he's played point guard before when he was younger with the Clips. Odom is one of the few who can legit play any position on the court...he's bulked up quite a bit, but I think his offensive skill set is still intact...it's a natural thing with him, was never something he had to work at developing.


Odom was a beast when Kobe was out of the lineup last year...he might have been playing the best ball in the NBA.

He goes into a secondary role when Kobe returns and everyone rips his heart...people with weak hearts don't step up when the best player on the team goes down...they step down. Odom does not step down when his star gets injured...he steps up.

And he is one of the most versatile and multiskilled offensive bigmen in the league.



Marion disappears in big games, always has, always will...I'd love to see him on the Lakers for that reason...he's the guy that steps down when his star goes down.


It will be Phil Jackson's masterwork of psychology if he can turn Marion into a clutch performer.

[degenerate_gambler]

And he is one of the most versatile and multiskilled offensive bigmen in the league...

...when he's healthy.

[saporvida]

Manu wants to play with Nash, not with Tmac

and what does that have to do with anything i have said?

[Hemotivo]

and what does that have to do with anything i have said?

wrong quote

[Medvedenko]

Whott...I agree Odom when healthy and on his game can do so much on the court and has had good games when Kobe's out and even when Kobe in....however his injuries far outweight everything....he's missed more games last season than Marion has his entire careeer. If you have a health Lamar playing the same amount of games....well then we probably wouldn't be talking about a trade.

[Bruno]

I don't see why Lakers will trade Odom for Marion outside. I don't see Marion being good playing Jackson's triangle offense.
On the other hand, Suns won't be as good with Odom than with Marion.
