    Name the last "dominant ass-kicker" team to win a championship. Post-Jordan, every championship team has had a rocky road. Literally, every single one.

    1999 - Spurs sucked to start off the season.
    2000 - The Lakers were a Portland meltdown away from being eliminated.
    2001 - The Lakers were dominant in the playoffs ... but that was their worst regular season showing off all three championship teams.
    2002 - They looked horrible in the second half of the season.
    2003 - Spurs sucked to start the season.
    2004 - The Pistons had long losing streak late in the year.
    2005 - Spurs struggled at this same point in the season.
    2006 - The Heat sucked almost the entire regular season.
    2007 - Spurs sleepwalked through the regular season.

    There hasn't been a dominant "ass-kicking" regular season team to go on a bust through during the playoffs in a long time. The regular season wonders are usually the teams that run out of juice in the playoffs. The championship teams are the ones with experience who peak during the playoffs.


    Correct me if I'm wrong...but didn't both of Jordan's 3 peat teams perform worse in the regular season with each succesive year? I believe they did.


    So did the Rockets.
    So did the Lakers.

    In fact every repeat champion since about 1990 has performed worse in the regular season the following year.

    Link to where you scoured through old threads finding for where you were right? Man, that will be sooooo hard.

    Link to where you were wrong? Well, that will actually be hard, because you don't scour for those.
    Link to the official website for Kleenex?

    Why was this game a must win game?
    It wasn't a must win game, if you read what I said, I said it was a game the Spurs SHOULD have won hands down.

    When you've lost 3 in a row, dropped down to the 6th seed from the 1st seed in a matter of days, have only 16 games left in the regular season, went up 23 points in the first quarter, were playing in front of your home crowd, I'd say the Spurs should have won the game instead of collapsing as they did in the 2nd half. Every game matters right now in the tough Western Conference.

    False...the only one that matters to the Spurs is the one that eliminates them from the playoffs, and you won't see that game happen.



    I want the eighth seed...I want Houston in the first round. freaking yeah...why wouldn't you want that?


    Let the Mavs, Suns and Lakers beat the crap out of each other....Spurs have some old scores that need to be settled.

    You got to admit the Celtics coming back from 22 down with no Ray Allen is impressive. Sam Cassell was a HUGE signing. He is going to be vital in the playoffs for us. Man this team is ing good. They have bigs that are physical and can rebound, they have depth, and they are a great defensive team as well. The Celtics can hang with anyone in a 7 game series.
    Boston is looking very, very impressive. The Cassell signing may just be the thing that takes them over the top.

    The Heat being the biggest one right there. Not much le experience on that squad and they gave nobody the impression they were contenders all year and then come playoff time, they were pretty fantastic, although Dallas did choke in the finals.

    Inflated ego? I've asked you to point out which parts of the post you have a problem with. I've opened up the floor to you to display your wisdom.

    You were clearly being facetious. Don't play coy. I've heard the same bull a million times from Spurs fans. It's the "go to" response whenever a Mavs fan interjects a legitimate opinion.

    It's amazing what the Spurs have done over the past 10 years, but if you think their accomplishments make you personally more of an expert on "championship" basketball than any other hardcore NBA fan, you are sadly mistaken.

    Huh? If he played against Vaughn everynight then maybe... btw, that was dumb ing move...

    I got sick of watching Cassell score 12 straight points on Vaughn before Pop finally ing did something.

    You feel like it is a MUST win in the moment but it was NOT. The thing about the west is the Spurs could win 3 of the next 4 and if they get some help move up like 3 spots. It is that crazy right now.

    Whott, are you Nostradamus now and can see in the future? How the heck do you know that the Rockets will get or keep the first seed?

    Spurs need to win as many games as they can to get a top 4 seed. It's asking way too much for a Spurs team that's sub-par on the road this year especially, to win 3 straight playoff series on the road without HCA. What's more, even if they get Houston and beat them in the first round, do you think they'll be able to beat a team like the Jazz, or a healthy Lakers team, or even the Mavs playing this way?

    Bottom line...when Pop wants to start winning games, he'll stop playing small down the stretch of games. Pop wants them with a chip on their shoulder and this team has no doubts it can win a championship.


    I will however celebrate Finley grabbing some pine.

    Actually, Timvp, I'm curious on your "real" takes on Finley and Horry. Seeing as how Pop truly thinks both these players will be an integral part of the Spurs championship run this year, do you honestly trust and believe that they aren't done.

    I'm sure Finley will eventually snap out of this shooting funk and score 20 some points one of these days and he may have a game or two that's good in the playoffs. But honestly, I think that's a longshot. Especially considering that those other games when his shot isn't falling, Finley just plain hurts the team. He can't box out and get a rebound to save his life, he's not exactly a good ball handler or playmaker, and his defense is absolutely atrocious.
    I'm not sure Pop truly thinks Finley is an answer. Once Barry comes back, Finley looks like the obvious choice in far as who is going to have their minutes cut. Pop is currently using Finley as the shooter to spread the floor ... which is a role that Barry should be able to handle if Finley can't.

    Between Finley and Barry, the Spurs only need one of them to show up in the playoffs. If they both fizzle out, then the Spurs will be in trouble. But I think chances are that one of them will have enough juice come playoff time.

    As for Horry, I've always agreed with you and thought his basketball IQ is off the charts and even if his shot isn't falling, it's invaluable to have in the 4th quarter of games. This season, Horry is making more boneheaded plays than a rookie. His defense is obviously slow and instead of making up for it with a heady, veteran play, all I see is him commit bad foul after bad foul after his man picks him off and leaves him in the dust. He's playing jumpy, sometimes overexcited and overaggressive, and he doesn't seem to compliment Duncan that well down low as in the past.

    I say both players are done, and that's what worries me.
    Horry looked pretty good out there today. Yeah, he's had his worst regular season by far but he has a good tendency to put that behind him and play well in the playoffs. Horry's regular season stats never really are comparable to his playoff stats. He's one player who you can truly say the season starts anew for him once the bright lights start shining.

    But yeah, if he's done, the Spurs have Oberto and Thomas. This year, for once, the Spurs can survive if Horry lays an egg. Both Oberto and Thomas are trustworthy enough to close out a playoff game. In the past, it's been Horry or bust. Even last year, Oberto didn't prove himself until the Jazz series.

    Ironically, this is a year you need HCA. Reason being that with all 8 teams in the West matched as evenly as they are, there is a much likelihood of any given series going 7 games, which is when the HCA actually comes into play...

    Winning 3 straight series on the road is going to be tough for anyone. And it's actually 4 because BOS sure looks likely to come out of the East. Cassell might have just clinched them a ring.
