Time To Make History

[Lakers_55]

4 les in 9 years, while boasting the best W-L% of any team in any major American sport? I'll take that, whatever you choose to call it (or not call it).

(But 5 les in 10 years sure would be nice.)

See, this is one of the big selling points of the current Spurs championship era I point out above. Your team is one of the most successful franchises in the NBA since they arrived from the ABA, plenty of WCF appearances and division les. People will argue with a dynasty claim, but there is no denying an era. I post seriously here, and never talk smack. I love the board and enjoy the great fans here.

This is a Spurs message board, and you have some great writers. They need to put their heads together and define your eras based on my rough draft above and post them in new threads. I am here to read about basketball, and although I have been around pro basketball longer than the Spurs, I would sure love to read some great NBA history stuff about your team and relive it again. I just get frustrated having to sort through the trash the trolls love to post to find the good stuff.

Best of luck in game 3. Although I like our chances in the series, it isn't over by any means.

If the Spurs win it all this year they will be an undisputed dynasty and considered the team of the decade hands down. They could not do anything for the next 20 years and people would still remember the sustained dominance they held throughout this decade.

If they don't, they will sadly be forgotten. That's just how it is in sports.

That's a rather stupid claim. One more championship won't change a thing one way or the other.

This reincarnated version of the Fakers has YEY to endure any adversity - drama, maybe - but no adversity. I don't expect them to simply "breeze" their way into the Finals.

The Spurs, on the other hand, have seen and endured just about everything. There are few situations that they've not encountered - including this one. I'm expecting the Spurs to now revise and recall their championship mettle and will their way back into this thing. In the process, planting seeds of doubt, as well as significant roadblocks into the mind of this young team.

The last book on this Spurs dynasty HAS NOT yet been written. The Spurs WILL prevail!

this post season shows how important home court is. home court was based on a half season. with a full season Kobe and Shaq would have gelled like they did the very next season and would have beat the spurs in 99

OK. So the season was only 50 games long. So what? The key words you used there is "would have". The fact remains is that your team DID NOT beat the Spurs. To show how shortsighted your point is, your team DID NOT just barely lose, THEY GOT SWEPT by the Spurs.

It's funny how most Fakers fans seem to forget that or simply discount how dominant that Spurs team was during that season. They were 15-2 during that championiship run.

Don't expect Lakers fans to give ANY team in the league credit for anything.

Your fans are the ones that are claiming it. Dynasties are rare and you do have a chance to join the club and believe, me if you do, you will all boast it. However, instead of starting a new thread, let me give you plenty of ammunition for you to boast with. The term is called "Era"

We all know about the Bird/Magic era. when people talk about that era, we know of when they speak.

You Spurs fans have plenty of notable eras, an expert among you can date them correctly...

You have the:
ABA era
George Gervin era
The David Robinson era
The Tim Duncan era
The Big Three era
The Championship era (1999-date)
More to come....

Think about it, a lot of teams probably don't have more than one era they can claim. Now Spurs historians, define your eras and rightly boast about them!

The late 80's.....our crappy, Clipper-type era.

Heart? Maybe they should have used that heart the last two games where they quit instead.

Erasing a 20 point lead with 5 minutes left in the third to go on and win is ing heart. Take notes.

haven't you learned. We spot teams 2 games before we start playing a series.
