You might as well be done then because the Mavs and the Suns do not make up the entire NBA. Of course those teams want to beat you bad, you have a rivalry with them. You can expect every team to want to do well against you because you set the standard last season as NBA Champs! Teams will judge where they are by how well they play against you.
[QUOTE=Demo Marcinko]That just doesn't fly. I'm of the opinion that these men are paid professionals and they're playing for their basketball lives. I'm assuming that they have all games circled. And they try as hard whether their playing Toronto or the Spurs.[/QUOTE]
Why would they circle any games if that's the case?
Have you ever notice how teams react when they defeat the spurs after they've won the le? I've noticed it on several occasions with the lakers. They act like they won the NBA le.
Ah, don't sell yourself short; you're not just any idiot...
I love how pussys like you try to play internet thug on the net. When you have no take or knowledge on the game, resort to insults!
I named them because they are the second and third best teams in the NBA.
The Spurs can expect every team to want to do well against them because they set the standard every season as the NBA's model of a professional, successful franchise. Teams will judge where they are by how well they play against the Spurs.
Set the standard? Okay,l that's a whole different subject which I wont address here.
And I love people who proclaim themselves above such chatter and then use the flipoff emote.
Secondly, I love people who set their own guidelines for what make a team great and then use those completely arbitrary statements to "prove" others wrong.
There you go again putting words in my mouth again. What's up with that? I do not proclaim myself above insulting. I'm from the old school, you have to give respect to get it! I can insult with the best of them, when I'm in the mood for that bull but I also realize that I'm on a short leash here. Some of you go crying to Kori to have me banned. Most can dish it out but can't take it!
Yeah, I like that too!
Ummm, I was paraphrasing, and throwing your own words back at you...
uhh, that the Celtics set the standard?
Please note that it's in present tense...
oh, so forget about what other teams have done in the past? It only matters what the spurs have done this decade?
I have really been trying not to call you a moron, but jeez you make it difficult! Hopefully you are just trying to pick a fight and aren't really that dumb...oh, so forget about what other teams have done in the past? It only matters what the spurs have done this decade?
The statement -which YOU originally wrote, and which I only paraphrased, is in present tense. Meaning the Spurs currently set the standard. It says nothing about who or what may have set any other standard in any other timeframe.
Okay, you got me on that one. Never thought about calling you a moron for your takes.. the spurs set the standard in 2003 to 2007. 3 in 5. Got ya!
As Stephen Colbert would say, I accept your apology!
For the last 2 seasons, when teams beat the Lakers, I've seen them react not with shock and amazement but mostly with glee. They didn't expect for it to be that easy but despite #24's greatness, there are a myriad of teams who circle a date with the Lakers as a chance to get an easy victory provided that they can disrupt the Lakers into imploding, and you all know that that isn't that hard to do right?Have you ever notice how teams react when they defeat the spurs after they've won the le? I've noticed it on several occasions with the lakers. They act like they won the NBA le.
pop answered this so eloquently
i really don't give a
I love how you feign righteous indignation after you make such a ridiculously stupid statement like suggesting that a team that won two les in a row (Hakeem's Rockets) is somehow superior to a team that won three les (one of which came against Hakeem's Rockets). You have no moral high ground on which to stand when you start a stupid troll thread like this.
Have someone look up "ironic" in the dictionary for you.When you have no take or knowledge on the game, resort to insults!

IMO, Spurs are already historically relevant. We have the resume to be mentioned in the same breath as all the all time great teams. Not worried about that. We are what we are. The neat thing about this is that the Spurs probably are not done adding to their resume.
Can't say the same thing about your laker team. They were great once but it doesn't look like their going to be accomplishing much of anything anytime soon. Break out all your old championship parade videos because that is all you may have. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch.!
