Where's DrHouse, we need that cry me a river picture posted a few times.
My Fluke Champion goes to the 2003 Spurs. I believe it was only TP's second season and Manu's first. I could be wrong tho....There's no way a team with 1st and 2nd year players that young shoulda won the le, yet. I seriously didn't think they were ready to win the le. I think they lucked into a good situation with the Queens losing Webber to injury causing them to lose to Dallas.

2003: The Mavs needed 14 games to go to the conference finals. The Spurs only 12.
The Spurs won 3 games in dallas... what make you think home court advantage would have helped Dallas?
2003: No fluke, true champion Spurs. (Maybe the kings could have been the champions.)

Lol, this thread is ridiculous. Sad attempts by ringless teams looking for vindication, while true champions wear swagger.
Spurs have 4, Duncan should've gone to Boston.
No real champion goes up 2-0, including a blowout win, then melts during the next 3.25 games like Dallas did. I don't even have a problem with the Mavs, but Miami clearly demonstrated a much stronger will to win, calls or no calls. You act like Wade couldn't get to the hoop at will, and anyone will tell you having someone who can do that for you will get you FTs consistently. Not to include the fact he was hitting bankers and jumpers left and right to further open his driving game.
There were controversial calls, but ever heard of the 'heart of a champion'? The Mavs didn't have it.
sons the Mavs played like true sissy cuckolds in that series. yes, the NBA clearly wanted and pushed for the Heat to win, but the Mavs had it in the palm of their hands and let it go.
That's because our guys had to back the up and almost play zero defense for fear of another phantom whistle. Any sane, non blind nba fan saw what happened that year.
son I agree with you there. the favoritism the league showed towards Wade in that series exposed just how much pro sports still has issues with the leagues helping push certain teams/players to the top. At that time, the NBA was desperate for another big star and they were doing everything in their power to help push Dwayne Wade to the top ..... hence why nearly half of his points (if not more) came from the free throw line.
with all that said though, the Mavs choked. there is noway around that fact. they had the championship wrapped up and blew it.
This may have already been pointed out because I'm not reading all 5 pages of this thread, but didn't Dallas rest their players in a late regular season loss to GS that got them in over the Clips and Lakers?
Most NBA fans think Dallas were just a bunch of choking es.
Lol I forgot this was 06 were talking about. Sorry, I'll try to remember not to mention it, didn't mean to hit a nerve
LOL you're ing weaksauce homie. All any sane, non blind NBA fans saw was the biggest Finals choke job of all time. If you say any different, you're a homer.Lol I forgot this was 06 were talking about. Sorry, I'll try to remember not to mention it, didn't mean to hit a nerve
Like i said earlier, Dallas got ed without protection by the Warriors. That pretty much sums up the beloved soft ass franchise.
Oh and i forgot to mention, didn't you'll blow up the team last season?
Ive determined the 3rd of the Lakers les this decade was a fluke, due to phantom bull whistles dooming the Kings. Ive also determined that our beloved Mavs were somewhat fortunate in 2003
This has been a decade of 2-peats
2000: Lakers
2001: Lakers
2002: Kings
2003: Kings
2004: Spurs
2005: Spurs
2006: Mavs
2007: Mavs
2008: Celtics
Dude Hornets fans didn't exist 2 years ago, so don't act like you watched the series God bless.
And what have you guys done in all these years. You guys are just as relevant as the Hornets. Atleast they have a future that they can build upon.
You guys on the other hand had a great chance to seal the deal but choked. So you're now coming with a variety of excuses and what if's. Man that is just embarrassing.
You're dumb then. The Lakers were hosed by phantom whistles just as bad in games 3 and 5. The refs didn't make Webber choke time after time at the free throw line and in OT.
Try watching basketball sometime.
I just wanted 4 2-peats dammit.
Nice use of sophistry. By the time you are ready to move into an old age home, the Mavs will have the most impressive imaginary dynasty in the history of basketball.
Says the person that says Webber's injury wasnt a fluke
Spurs fans think their franchise is the epitome of organizational excellence or something.
When in fact ALL of their success is due to the SIMPLE fact that they lucked their way into the #1 pick the year Duncan came out. That's it, period. Don't give me anything about Pop, Manu, Parker, good scouting, whatever. It's all Duncan. Right place, right time, right year. So nobody is in a position to call any franchise pathetic, unless the difference between being great and pathetic is absolute, pure, luck.
So the Spurs fans who talk down to our beloved Mavs are morons, your success is predicated on drafting Duncan, that's it.
Mavs, 2003, 2006, 2007 true champions.
Spur fan also seems to believe the NBA only existed since 1999 and that nothing any team did prior to then should matter.Spurs fans think their franchise is the epitome of organizational excellence or something.

It's hilarious the warped sense of reality they have and the lengths they will go to protect this notion that the Spurs are still the class of the NBA. The reality is the Spurs best days are over, this current squad built around Duncan has accomplished as much as it ever will. The saddest thing of all is their decline will be slow and painful because as long as Duncan, Parker, and Manu are on the team they will always be good enough to make the playoffs.
whether or not our core has maxed out will be seen in the next 2 years, but 4 les is good enough for me..
on the other hand..the Lakers core has won nothing..Kobe Bryant has ZERO les as a #1 option..the Lakers have invested a lot of money on their future franchise player, a guy that has had 3 major injuries since High School..
so you can talk when your core wins something..
