I don't understand why Spurs like to bring up history patterns. Like just said, Spurs never repeat. Going off of history, Spur fan might as well take the season off.
Don't worry. Aint gonna happen.

Parker and Manu would be considered losers as well then if they replace Gasol during his time there. Don't be such a moron.
Seriously how dumb are your fellow Spur fans? They act like Gasol will be carrying this team when in fact he'll be the 3rd or 4th option.
The idea that Stern masterminded this trade is ridiculous. This is the same svengali that traded Shaq for Odom and a bag of peanuts? How devious. Puppetmaster an awful trade so no one will later suspect him of delivering the le delivering Gasol to the Lakers. Brilliant!
In reality Gasol is another third banana who thinks he's a legit max player. He'll probably just get in Bynum's way when he returns and create chemistry problems. Lakers got better talent but more players to take shots from Kobe. We'll see if Kobe is a real team player now that he actually has someone to play with.
The Gasol trade told me one thing...Spurs fans are scared, but another thing is their inep ude in understanding Kobe's game the past 3 seasons. Kobe's been passing and sharing the rock this year than previous years.
Spurs fans are far, far, far more scared of health issues and Parker returning to form than the Lakers.
This is Lakers best chance (still will not happen) next year Duncan has Tiago next to him!
Yup Spurs fans are very scared. I knew the moment I heard some guy comparing Gasol to Hedo Turkolgu.
I'd rather have Hedo. Better defender, better rebounder. And not just saying that because Lakers have Gasol. Hedo, the way he's playing would guarantee the Spurs a le if they're healthy. Gasol? Not.
Gasol's Line vs the Warriors 2 weeks ago....
43 on 17/25 11 boards and 3 assists.......
Yeah, he sucks and can't play in the L. It's funny hearing about you guys getting Mike Miller or whoever else...you're scared....it's ok....You guys are looking very mortal this year even when your "Big" 3 is healthy.....have fun getting old.
Hedo....really...having a good season no doubt...but is about as clutch as Gasol in the playoffs...oh and Gasol is a franchise player. It's funny, Garnett was putting up crazy #'s in Minny and they were a lottery team. Look at him now.....put talent around a big man with a system designed for the low post and he'll flourish as will the Lakers.![]()
Right. He was only president of basketball operations for them less than a year ago. This had absolutely nothing to do with he and Kupchak having ties. Just like Ainge and McHale's relationship had nothing to do with the Boston trade.
new here, but thank you for making a reasonable post.
I'm sorry, are you comparing a guy who hasn't won a playoff game to a team that only wins les every other year?
The idea that the Lakers suddenly jumped ahead of the Spurs is sublime. Spurs weakness was bench scoring and they added a player with a career near 14 point average and Ime is also improving daily. Spurs have many bigs to counter the Lakers as well as any team in the league, and two - three great defenders to put on Kobe. Moreover, for all his recent problems, K. Brown was a of lot better defender historically on Duncan than either Gasol or Bynum.
People forget that this week the Spurs got a darn good PG for nothing!
Next year again the Spurs add Tiago Splitter who internationally had outplayed Gasol and many other bigs.
NO FRIGGIN WORRIES!
Well than no worries then...you should be a GM or something...you're way to smart for all of us. Now you're comparing Brown to Gasol....hahahahaha. Please just admit that you are indeed worried as Spurs fans were worried when our team was actually healthy. You guys are mortal this year...it's not going to happen. Oh, and I love the fact that a bunch of you sheep keep brining up that the reg season means but throw it our face when the spurs are ahead of them in the reg season. Seriously, I love it that the spurs faithful is in all out scared mode now. Like I said in many posts prior, if healthy there are 5 teams in the West that can make it through. The lakers are not legitimately one of them. Enjoy your old team.
Lakers' fans with pre-mature ejaculation again.
Pau Gasol traded for Brown......sorry bud, not premature....it's an all out money shot on the rest of the West. Chemistry is next..............I give it a couple of weeks.
Bynum out another 4 weeks I here.............................................. ...............................................goi ng to feel pretty good.
No, just admit that you're hoping that Spurs fans are worried to cover up your own insecurity about whether this trade really makes the Lakers a contender. Deep down you know that Kobe is talented but will never have the charisma to inspire average players to play well like MJ (or even as Lebron has.) Kobe is all about Kobe and putting better players around him helps, but ultimately it doesn't solve the selfish problem that he has. Yes, he's played more team ball as of late, but if you notice when they're in tight spots with good teams he starts playing selfish again with a loss as the result. 8 turnovers against the Spurs recently was a pretty good example.
Like I said "WINNERS WIN"
"LOSERS LOSE"
Somethings will just have to wait until the playoffs![]()
The one thing I'd be worried about if I were a Spurs fan is the Lakers are really only going to get better in the next 5 years. They have a great mixture of youth and veteran talent, and none of their players other than Derek Fisher are over 30 years old.
The Spurs OTOH:
Duncan - 32 years old
Manu - 31 years old
Bowen - 37 years old
Barry - 37 years old
Horry - 38 years old
Finley - 36 years old
The big 3 probably have a few more years left in them, but all those role players are pretty much done either this season or the next. I don't see any impressive young talent the Spurs are developing outside of Udoka (Vaughan, Bonner, Elson, Oberto don't scare me). For the Spurs to be a championship team all of the big 3 has to be playing at their peak level, we've already seen how beatable they are when they aren't.
Really ? I didn't know that when you lose, you are a loser and when you win, you are a winner. Thanks for clarifying.

OK, now...
You weren't winning three years in a row when the Lakers kicked your ass. You weren't winning when D Fish .04'd your ass either. This is stupid. Spurs are still the favorites in the west. Nobody said they weren't. Lakers haven't proved anything with this squad but that doesn't mean they're not capable of it. We are the second best team in the West. Mavs, Suns, and Jazz are still good teams but we have more depth and are a much improved team. You act as if Gasol were some type of scrub.![]()
