Spurs vs. Mavericks
Suns vs. Mavericks
Heat vs. Pistons
I was talking about Playoffs.
Kings took the Lakers to elimination games in both 2000 (first round best of five) and 2002.
They managed five wins.
During that same time, Spurs faced the Lakers in two seven game series, and went 1 for 9.
You need to think before you type pal. ESPECIALLY before you go talking about people "pulling this ".
LOL wow. You're competing with Nashfan for biggest idiot Suns fan on this board now...
The Spurs BEAT the lakers in 1999 and 2003 in the PLAYOFFS...meaning of course they WON THE SERIES OVER THE LAKERS just so you get it...or do those PLAYOFF SERIES WINS not count simply because adding any more years to your tiny little 3 year window would not fit your flimsy little argument?
Dude. Just give it up. He clearly doesn't have the capacity for any logic beyond his own schizophrenia. You're talking to a wall. He probably thinks that a great offense is the key to winning multiple les as well, and that Nash should be the DPoY, just edging out Amare.
Gimme a break...the lakers owned the league for three straight years (you called it 3 "flimsy" years) and the only team that came even close to challenging them was the Kings. They folded in overtime in game 7, but it was much bettter than what the Spurs (or anyone else) were able to manage (again, one victory).
no i didn't. i called your argument flimsy. learn to ing read. the lakers had kobe/shaq/phil for longer than 2000-2002. and the spurs beat them twice in the playoffs (once without phil).
funny, i remember Portland being up by 15 on the Lakers in the 4th quarter of a game 7....but you're right, only the Kings...yeah...
again, you don't even remember the Blazers/Lakers series. forgetting a series like that right there proves that you've got no clue what the you're talking about. And I guess the Spurs record versus the Lakers doesn't count the 4 wins they got in 99 or the 4 they got in 03 over the Lakers. did the Kings ever manage 4 playoff wins against the Lakers in one year? no.
your argument is as weak as they come. but thanks for trying.
Nobody tunes in to watch Suns-Lakers, outside of those cities, or Kobe fanatics. Everybody wants to see the Mavs-Spurs games.Ahem. There's a team from Los Angeles whose colors are purple and gold.
And this is supposed to make the best rivalry? Both team have to have similar feelings to make a rivalry. I am sure that the Hawks feel a little disrespected by most teams in the NBA, they don't have rivals because no other team gives a crap about them.No, of course not, but that's not what I said. I said they disliked the Mavs because of perceived disrespect.
And he is different from those in Miami and Detroit in what way?I should have been more specific. I was talking about Humble Billy Hayes.
The Kings were not a rivalry, they were whooping boys. All the talk of the Kings-Lakers was because of one very large talker calling the other team "Queens"
There was never a question when the teams met in the playoffs which team would win, that makes it a "rivalry" for the loosing team and a "stepping stone" for the winner. One need only look at the Spurs-Mavs before the Mavs broke through and started playing compe ively with the Champs.
To the Spurs, we were simply a team that was in the way. To the Mavs, it was a rivalry.
Now both teams understand that the other is standing in the way ... That makes a rivalry, both team expect to win each meeting, both teams could win each meeting. in the Kings-Lakers those two things didn't exist.
I think the Suns-Lakers rivalry is a result of what was arguably the best playoff series in last year's postseason.
Raise your hand if you thought that the Lakers were going to win the seriesI think the Suns-Lakers rivalry is a result of what was arguably the best playoff series in last year's postseason.
....
Raise your hand if you think that if the two teams meet this year that the Lakers would win the series.
....
It was a very good series (Everyone knows which was the best, don't fool yourself), but it didn't make any of their games this year "Must see TV"
You Suns fans are entirely too much. You're setting new standards (low ones) with some of these posts.
The Lakers-Suns playoff series last year wasn't even close to the best. It wasn't even in the REALM of being the best series. It won't even be remembered 3 years from now except by Suns and Lakers fans.
Round 2 of the WC Playoffs between the two most complete teams in the NBA, which went down to Game 7 OT will be talked about for years and years, especially if it happens again in the WCF this year.
Get real.
My mistake, I should have said most entertaining series.

While the Mavs-Spurs was the best showcase of basketball, the Suns-Lakers had the most drama.
1. Every single night it seemed like a new fight was going to break out.
2. Bell clotheslining Kobe in Game 5. In fact, the whole Kobe-Bell feud was the most entertaining thing about the playoffs last year.
3. Tim Thomas hitting the game-tying three in Game 6 to force overtime.
4. The Lakers' miraculous comeback in Game 4 to force overtime, followed by another miraculous comeback in overtime resulting in Kobe's clutch game-winner.
5. Nash and Kobe, two MVP candidates, arguing repeatedly.
It had a lot of drama, a lot of entertainment. Wasn't the tightest series, but it was a whole lot of fun to watch.
Didn't even come close to the entertainment and drama of the Mavs-Spurs series. Every game except for game 2 went down to the wire, or at least was still anyone's ball game with a few minutes left in the 4th, there was the Terry-Finley nut punching incident, the Popovich-Avery coaching battle, and the overtime game 7 (which completely beat the out of the clunker game 7 where the Lakers gave one of the more pathetic efforts ever witnessed in the playoffs).My mistake, I should have said most entertaining series.
