When I was that age I was a Spurs fan and I didn't have as many opportunities to watch them as I would've liked to. Yet, i'm still a Spurs fan. But whatever you must do to convince yourself is fine by me as it's you that you have to convince.
We're in different situations. My family needed the money so they moved to Los Angeles.
Your family could probably afford to stay in San Antonio, but we couldn't. It's hard enough uprooting your life from Texas to Cali when you're 16. Staying loyal to the Spurs, missing most of them, was one of my smaller priorities, sorry.
I do not, and have never lived in San Antonio. Sorry about your appeal to pity rebuttle.
But i'm genuinely happy that things are better financially for you and your family.
Just to clarify, I am not apologizing in my previous post.
Obviously everybody is telling the story of how they want it to sound, not how the story was written. Some of you are interprenting decade as in 00's and others in a 10 year span. If you're going by 00's Then they're tied. if you go by a 10 year span. then it goes to the Spurs, but all that could change, If the Lakers could win it. They'll end up with 4, so yet again they'll tied. So for now leave it at that.
Now if the Lakers win this season and next season they're able to win a back to back. Then Spurs fans have to give it to the Lakers. No questions asked. Cause in a 10 year span Lakers would end up with five, and in a decade, not counting 2000 cause its part of 99' for some people, Lakers 4, Spurs 3. Only time would tell.
Just to clarify, I have no apologies for joining the Laker bandwagon in 2000 when my parents moved us to Los Angeles.
On your way of looking at things, Then the Lakers have won in every decade. In the 90's we lost to the Bulls in 91', but won it in 99'-00'.
That's cool, it's alright Al. I'm just stating an opinion that your reasons given are rather weak. But to each his/her own.
I can live with that.
Don't worry Allanon, Keep rooting for whoever you want. Living in San Antonio, I deal with people telling me Lakers suck! this and that. Telling me to go back to LA, which I've lived in San Antonio almost all my life. But I do have a lot of family members over there, so it makes me want to move over there. And I only happened to lived over there for the years of 94-97, because of my father being transfered over there, but then transfered back. But I try to go over there twice a year.
Laugh all you want, dude.at your "criteria" Mr. Expert.
If it's good enough for that windbag Tommy Heinsohn, it's good enough for me.
So what's your definition of "team of the decade?"
I wait with bated breath.
HEAD TO HEAD means jack ing .
2004 I put an * we are owed a game 7 at the very least.
Anyway forgetting about that for a bit it's 4-1, but what if the Spurs played the Lakers in the seasons you sucked it could very easily been 4-4 or even in the Spurs favor if you take away Fisher's shot that should not have counted. Last season Manu was hurt too so who knows how that series would have went if he was healthy. I think LA may have buckled cause they had players on the team that hadn't really faced any pressure situations before where they were expected to win.
Lakers fan don't take anything into consideration. Spurs have been consistent a lot longer and have been a Championship contender every single season up until this last season. We would have been this season too if Manu was healthy. There have been at least 3 seasons where the Lakers have NOT been a le contender and had no chance at all to win it.
I really don't get how Lakers fans think they have it wrapped up so easily.
For posterity.
The 2011-2020 decade will belong to OKC and it won't be an argument. Enjoy it now LA.
The Thunder will be a rich man's version of the Blazers next decade. Which is basically the Lakers' playoff but instead of the losing in an average of 5 games, it will be 6.
Thunder need a legit big before I really consider them anything. They might get into the playoffs, but it wont really matter without any bigs.
Thunder > Lakers
Thundaluva > Lakaluva
Son you need to watch my sig which shows the next Hakeem Olajuwon only with Sean Kemp's athleticism. We're also getting James Harden who brings the savvy of a veteran. Basically Manu Ginobili only not a foreign .
At some point the Manu injured excuse has to stop. He's hurt like every year, so it's obvious he cant be counted on
