Tell him how you really feel "majicman".....
It's spelled "Your" and if you can't even spell right maybe you should be the one to shut the up. What have we done lately? That's big talk and major waving coming from a team that tanked to get Duncan. At least we tried to make the playoffs. We could have tanked and tried to get CP3 or Deron Williams but unlike the Spurs we're not that pathetic. It wasn't too long ago we were raping you guys in the playoffs and owning your souls. When was the last time the Spurs repeated? Oh wait, never. Lakers broke off 3 in a row and the Spurs couldn't even see the light of day back then. You guys are Champs by default and even with the Lakers out of the picture you guys still can't repeat. Talk to me when you repeat asshole or even come close to sniffing as many Championships as the Lakers have.

Just for reference, there's a big difference between 04 Tony and current Tony, at least when he's healthy.
Not that the Laker's can't shut him down, just that "because we did in 04" is quite an invalid argument.
Pau is much better on defensive rotations than Kwame is. He also has the ability to block shots unlike Kwame. If Kwame gets bought out there's still a good possibility he signs with the Lakers or even come back next year at a discount and come off the bench. Parker is not my main concern it's Manu more so. We still haven't seen how the front line of Andrew Bynum, Pau, and Lamar plays out. I assume it's much better than we have seen recently from the Lakers. I don't think that cute stuff that Parker tries flies now with that front line.
I'd be surprised if it doesn't. Parker is one of the best finishers in the NBA at the rim, and he always seems to find the angle to get the shot up even when surrounded by bigs.
The best defense against Parker is still hit him hard early. You get your bigs in foul trouble (and allow Duncan to go off), but it seems to scare Parker off from driving late in the game, which is why Manu dominates at the end.
That's the way it works best for the Spurs. Parker early, Duncan middle, Manu late.
This "living in the past" is about as moronic as it gets.
I would bet there isn't a team in the NBA that hasn't beat every other team in the NBA at one time or another.
What was last year, or the year before or 20 years ago, has no bearing on THIS season.
The sooner people figure that out, the better off we will all be.
Yes Actually they have to give it back you dumbass.
OMG that's the dumbest thing I have ever read on the internets.
The problem is not learning from your defeats and getting fooled by your wins.
Pop should practice kaizen.
P.S.
Parker does not have a free path to the basket anymore with Gasol and Shaq helping Bynum and A. Stoudamire.
You're an idiot
They make a new O'Brien trophy every year. The only trophy which is kept in circulation is the Stanley Cup.
Pot, kettle, black, Louis.
So Pop's had nothing to do with the Spurs' success and he needs to apply Japanese management techniques in order to finally win a le? Great.
I couldn't agree more!
That's so true
"Cute stuff"? Can we get some better trolls in here?
Anyways, if by that you mean getting out on the break and attacking the rim then I guess Gasol will look better trailing TP on the break.
On top of that, I don't how Fisher will be able to keep up with a healthy TP in a 7-game series.
But he isn't healthy.
But they have one of the best PF's in the game!
BTW Princess Pimp...You need to STFU, if you don't know what your talking about...Especially if you're going to be derrogative towards other people.
He will be when it matters.

Whenever this tries to make a point, remember this post.
You keep talking about these guys as if they're Mutombo or Alonzo MourningShaq, Amare, Gasol and Bynum aren't game-changers on defense. Amare is dumb and foul prone. Shaq is old and foul prone. Even if Parker doesn't score it's likely he'll get these guys in foul trouble. Gasol and Bynum aren't going to scare anyone away from the rim either

Lakers got better, no doubt. But I'm worried more about the Spurs getting healthy than other team's moves. Tim, Tony,and Manu when healthy are incredibly difficult to defend. If the Spurs team defense rounds into form, I still think they have the best chance of being the last team standing.
Are the Lakers and Suns merging?
You're right. I hope Gasol's back holds up.
How are Odom's joints doing these days?
