Ignore him. He hates the Spurs.
Doug Gottlieb epitomizes everything bad with ESPN. In a very familiar, ignorant shpeel, the jackass ranted that the Spurs' success has been tainted by the fact that they had an easy road to their championships.
1. They won their first le in a strike shortened season.
2. They never had to go through a Shaq-Kobe-Phil Jackson coached team.
Just plain ignorant. He used the Spurs as an example twice before going to a commercial break. Someone with some knowledge of basketball reminded him of the Spurs ending the Lakers 3peat and all he says is: (In a very low tone) "Correction, the Spurs beat the Lakers....NOW, MY POINT BEING THAT TEAMS THAT DON'T BEAT THE BETTER TEAMS ON THEIR WAY TO WINNING A LE" blah blah blah.....
And to think, I switched the radio station over from Dan Patrick's gawd awful show to listen to that crap. Lesson learned. Just take a quiet shower.
Ignore him. He hates the Spurs.
And ESPN pays him for such stupidity
Oh what am i saying this is the same network that used to employ this in tool...
Yeah. I seemed to get burned every time I give those jokers a listen. I had to switch from ESPN to Channel 5 last night for the game. The video quality is better on ESPN but the announcers were awful.
P.S. Thankfully, Screamin A Smith is off Fox Sports radio. That dude is unlistenable.
I actually like Gottlieb, but he'll never admit he is wrong in the moment. He will often come back a week later when it's no longer fresh in anybody's mind to admit stupidity, but if you call him out on the spot, he digs in and gets stupid.
Much better college "analyst" anyways.
The 2005 Detroit Pistons say " o, Doug Gottlieb."
Doug Gottlieb? Never heard of him.
Next....
Gottlieb has been a head since he was in college.
he got you to listen. this is why people have wild opinons in radio
Did he really say that?
I was there at the "Crying Game" in '03 when the Spurs ended Shaq, Kobe and Phil's hopes for a "fourpeat."
See below.
Would you really feel that much better if this guy had good things to say about the Spurs? Who really gives a anyway, good or bad?
Yeah, I care if he says something untrue about my favorite team. I take pride in being a Spurs fan.
I don't need to hear nice things, the Rings speak for themselves, but to blatantly spew out ignorance and taint their success gets on my nerves. It was more annoying than anything.
To all the channel nazi's out there: Yes, I changed it because he didn't deserve my attention anymore.
Actually, he didn't. I tuned in for Cowherd during a commercial break, stepped into the shower and heard Gottlieb. I wasnt going to stop my shower short just to change the channel. He certainly got me to react if that's what you meant.
John
The Dan Patrick show is great, easily the best out there. Fritzy's headlines alone make it better than the others
lol, dumb.
02-03 Spurs beat Lakers (with Shaq & Kobe) 4-2 in the Conference Finals and DID go on to win the Championship.
Is he saying that the 03' Lakers team was NOT a "Better team".
Ok... I agree.
Doug tried to pay for free-throw lessons, his credit card was stolen.
? The point he was trying to make is that teams that have an easy path to the Championship aren't remembered as much as the teams that had a tougher path.
Apparently, the Spurs had an easy time winning 4and weren't forced to beat the best to become the best. Forget the 3 peat Lakers, forget the Defending Champion Pistons and apparently sidestep the fact that we SWEPT a hot Lebron team that strangled the Pistons. The first Championship was an almost historic run through the playoffs where we SWEPT the Lakers and Portland and only took 5 games to beat the Knicks.
No biggie.
Thats the !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No NBA team had to go through the great Panathinaikos... NBA is a joke
If that is the case the 96' 97' & 98' Bulls teams should be completely forgotton by now.
They use circular logic. They only have one constant in their equation.
"The spurs aren't very good"
Obviously since the spurs aren't very good, then when they beat the Mavericks, a media darling Suns team, the 3-peat lakers, or the defending champion pistons it must mean that THOSE teams aren't very good because the spurs aren't very good.
If everyone the SPURS beat isn't very good, then they have the easiest rout to championships...
Never heard of him... but he does sound re ed.
The Spurs suck, and therefore the teams the Spurs beat to any championships suck even worse. This means that the 05 Pistons, 03 Mavs, 03 Lakers, 99 Lakers, 99 Blazers, 05 Suns, and 07 Suns were one of the worse contenders.
On the other hand, championship teams have to beat good teams to win championships in order to be remembered. Since we have established all Spurs compe ion were one of the worse contenders in the history of the league, it shows that the Spurs are not worthy championship teams, proving the Spurs suck.
who the is doug gottlieb and why should we care?
