Priorities. I recall AJ was getting on Duncan's nerves.
Last night, Dallas became the 1st team in the HISTORY of the NBA to have three separate 12 game winning streaks in one season.
Think about that for one minute.
That is truly an amazing feat.
The Spurs just had their 1st 6 game streak last night.
Damn, why did Pop let AJ leave the Spurs organization???? He should have put his ass right next to him on the Spurs bench and made him his heir apparent.

MJ un-retired in late May that year. He hadn't played basketball in a year and a half. The team had only a few weeks to gel before the playoffs. Of course they weren't going to be the same team they were the next year.By the way Mr. "facts", in 95 a bull team lead by Jordan lost in the conference finals to the magic. So your little argument doesn't hold much weight.
I'm guessing you're young and didn't watch the games or you'd remember this little detail. Let me tell you, I watched the games. I rooted for Houston. I really really liked Olajuwon. But there's no way that team would beat the MJ Bulls.
Well, I imagine that fact that Dallas is now a much better team than his Spurs because of AJ, really gets on TD's nerves a lot more.
Serves him right.
Wasn't Detroit the team to beat as of March last year? Weren't they on a 70 game pace? It can all go up in smoke in the playoffs...
A smart fan. Phoenix will do what they always do in the playoffs: run out of gas, and get frustrated when teams won't allow them easy baskets in transition. Some people here are like terrified of the Suns. They'll never be a serious threat under D'Antoni's run-n-gun no defense system. It's not viable for the playoffs. This team isn't even as good as the 05 Suns.
He is not a better coach than Pop and by the time Pop is done the Duncan Era will be over and they will be in rebuild mode anyway.Last night, Dallas became the 1st team in the HISTORY of the NBA to have three separate 12 game winning streaks in one season.

The articles credibility is lost with a comment like this.
That's all we have left to play for? It's the ing playoffs, mate.
Congrats Dallas on your Southwest Division Championship. We bow down to you in honor of your greatness.

I'll buck up and give props when they have a 12 game winning streak in the playoffs..........
Until then ---------> /yawn
The first slice of evidence to this fact occured a few nights ago. Phoenix lost to Philadelphia with Nash in the lineup. The cracks are just beginning to show in Phoenix, they always do at about this time........
The Spurs wont be nearly as tough as they were a year ago. Too many old ass washed up pieces of on that squad. The Suns are a team who will give us the toughest test in the west. I really would be shocked if a potiental Mavs/Spurs series goes past 5 games. We should respect the Spurs like we do all teams and be ready to play because we shouldnt expect them to lie down and just hand us the series. You do have to work for it. If the Mavs just have that focus the Spurs wont give us any major scares. It ends in 5. They dont scare me they really dont. They are no longer the defensive powerhouse they once were on the perimeter and interior. I cant fear a team like that.
They don´t have to scare YOU,to scare AJ and Co. is enough.And I´m sure they will be.
The fact that you might actually fear a basketball team is hilarious.
want an example?
last year´s NBA finals
They dont scare the Mavs either. Dirk has a comfort zone against the Spurs as do most Mav players. Nothing you throw at them intimidates them.

and that's spurs best chance to win against a team surrounded by overconfidence from local media and fans
They arent overconfident against the Spurs they are just confident and KNOW they can beat them now.
i just love the idea of being the underdogs... the spurs are for sure a much bigger threat as underdogs... you'll see dude...
Uh, I'm certain that you don't have your facts right.
Michael came back in mid-March that season. And it's not like the Bulls struggled once he got back. In fact, the Bulls were substantially better when Jordan returned. When Michael played his first game on March 19, 1995, the Bulls were 34-31; at the end of the season, the Bulls were 47-35 -- they went 13-4 in the 17 regular season games that Jordan played in. They hadn't had a win streak of longer than 3 games before Jordan un-retired; they had two 6-game win streaks after his return.
Jordan didn't exactly take time to round into shape, either. He played 40+ minutes in 4 of his first 5 games back. He dropped 55 at MSG on the Knicks in his 5th game. In the 17 games, he averaged 26.9 ppg, 6.9 rpg., 5.3 apg, and 1.8 spg in almost 40 minutes a night. He shot the ball poorly (.411), but he was an extremely productive player. And come playoff time, he was all the way back -- he played 42 minutes per night in those playoffs, averaging 31.5 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 4.5 apg, and shooting 48% from the floor.
The Bulls, without home court advantage, mauled a 50-win Hornets team with Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson in the First Round that season, before falling in 6 in the ECSF to Orlando.
Its funny how some fans twist whatever their situation is to justify how they great their team is. I personally would rather have homecourt advantage throughout, but hey being neck and neck with the Mavs in point diffrential is good too Spurs
What are the mavs champs of?
Wow - I think the Phoenix reporters can be terrible, but every day I see something new out of Dallas that either (a) rips on the Suns (b) rips on the Spurs (c) rips on the league office or (d) rips on the players that "step in front of Josh Howard.
Like their fans, team, and city as a whole, they're getting a little too y and that's one of the 7 deadly sins in the NBA. Also, I think the Spurs gave up on the Southwest Division le before the All-Star break and just want to be ready to win on the road and secure the at least the 3rd seed... this article's whole premise is pointless.
Thats like saying the San Fransisco 49ers are the best team in the NFL because they have won a championship before. Since my TV's TiVo Doesnt have the previous decade's NBA basketball saved onto it, I typically stick with a current season when talking sports. Last time I checked, your fans don't cheer Go '99 Spurs, Go!
Anyone know the weight limit on those rafters? Realistically, I doubt they can support much more Division Champ banners than we have currently. Maybe the Spurs record this year is a strategic thing, save the building engineers some calculations and heartache? CIA Pop at it again. I'm tellin' ya.
