No it's the truth. The other teams didn't have enough time to get into shape by the playoffs and the Spurs took advantage of that. Also Horry usually always make that shot so that was a fluke when he missed it.

I am done arguing with you.
You don't have an argument for that because there isn't one.![]()
He proved it alright, that's why KG's got so many more rings and MVPs, as well as All-Defensive and All-NBA selections. What was it? He didn't? Well, got darn it! He shows emotion! Must be a good player! That's why players like Kenyon Martin belongs to the HoF, because he screams like a mad man after every dunk/shot/rebound/block/steal/pivot/cut/breath.
And I don't have to be stupid to say Garnett's got good teammates. Coaches selected Sprewell to the All-Star team 4 times in his career and Sam Cassell an all-star in 2004, well, unless you say a majority of NBA coaches are stupid. Wally Szczerbiak was also named all rookie first team when he was a teammate with Garnett.
Mr. Garnett-has-better-stats-than-Duncan-so-he-must-be-better, tell me this.
How does Sprewell suck when he puts up the following number:
03-04: 16.8/3.8/3.5
04-05: 12.8/3.2/2.2
And Wally Szczerbiak has:
02-03: 17.6/4.6/2.6
03-04: 10.2/3.1/1.2 (injured most of the season)
04-05: 15.5/3.7/2.4
BTW, Cassell, an ALL-STAR PG in 03-04 puts up:
03-04: 19.8/3.3/7.3
04-05: 13.5/2.7/5.1
You sole argument so far about Garnett > Duncan is because of better stats, then why do Sprewell, Szczerbiak and Cassell suck despite these good stats?
Let's look at Duncan's top teammates during his 3 le runs:
David Robinson:
98-99: 15.8/10/2.1
02-03: 8.5/7.9/1
Tony Parker:
02-03: 15.5/2.6/5.3
04-05: 16.6/3.7/6.1
Manu Ginobili:
02-03: 7.6/2.3/2
04-05: 16.0/4.4/3.9
How did these STATS show Robinson, Parker and Ginobili are better than Wally, Sprewell and Cassell?
And don't even bring up Bowen, his stats were even worse.
Mr. truth, how does Stockton overrated on defense despite being the NBA leader in steals again?
Aren't STATS the thing you look at when talking about players?
I know, he couldn't make the playoffs with bad teammates, so he must be better, I like your logic.
See, Elton Brand is even better! He got worse teammates, and his team did even worse!
All readers of this post, try to think like you are Spursdaone. Imagine that your loverboy got Duncan's spot, it has never happened, and probably never will, but just imagine. Can't you see him/her averaging 30 points, grabbing 15 rebounds and dishing out 7 assists now?
Hey, what the , I am imagining MYSELF in Duncan's role, as the first under-6-feet PF in the NBA. I imagined I am putting up 45 points, 16 rebounds, 12 assists a game, the first unanimous MVP in the league with a 82-0 season.
I also put up 60 points, 25 rebounds, 15 assists, 21 block and 16 steal in the All-Star game, leading the West to a 212 to 42 win over the East, and winning the MVP along the way.
I am also leading my team on a 16-0 playoff run, breaking numerous records along the way, including a +56 point differential.
Now I am imagining myself doing it for 21 years straight.
, you know what? I just imagined myself, no no no, I AM better than Duncan, and since I put up such marvellous stats, I AM the best player in NBA history.
You can feel all you want, for all we care, you can feel that Scott Padget is the best basketball player in the world. But that's not it, it's not the Maybe he is a better teammate thing too, you said it with such conviction earlier on. What happened to "the Truth"?
The Spurs would have been 82-0 and 16-0 in the playoffs if all their shots went in too, what's your point?
There is no point.
The simple answer is no he wouldn't. Duncan would suck in Minnesota just like the olympics.
You're right about Garnett having good teammates in 2003-04 and if Cassell didn't get injured the timberwolves would've beaten the lakers and challenge Detroit for the championship. It is simple as that but injuries and if Ginobili or Parker went down the same thing would've happened this year to San Antonio. That's your answer
This guy is all about "ifs". If this and if that, you know what? IF YOU!![]()
He's been playing NBA Live too much and needs to tune into a few real games, so he can see that TD>KG
the ifs become reality because once San Antonio choked against the lakers I was expecting Minnesota to be the favorite. Unfortunately the Cassell injury was devastating for them and they beat Sacramento with an injured Cassell but he wasn't able to play against the lakers. Garnett did not choke. they didn't have enough.
Do you have any arguments that is based on reality?
Garnett, with better teammates in 03-04 than Duncan had in all 3 of his le runs, can't win a championship, and he is somehow a better player?
Don't pull that injury excuse. Robinson had a chronic bad back 01 to 03, Ginobili was hurt in the Finals, and even Duncan himself had two twisted ankles, yet still manage to win les.
Robinson was a scrub for what else San Antonio had on that team. He equals Rasho. S. Jackson, S. Claxton, M. Ginobili, B. Bowen, and T. Parker. That team should dominate with a superstar.
D-Rob a scrub?!?!? HAHAHA, But I bet you would've like him on your T-Pups team!
I am a spurs fan and a truthful one. Nobody wants to here that Robinson was washed up in his last year but he was.
Seriously, you are no Spurs fan. You are either that wolves009 guy or at the very worst T Park! You're too busy playing B-Ball videogames, making your fantasy teams, and sucking KGs balls to know anything about basketball. Just admit it already, TD>KG. Damn, even people on other teams boards agree with this, so don't even mention team bias.
Casual fans like you make me sick. Let me guess? You became a Spurs fan after game 2 of this years finals, then became a Pistons fan after game 4? And now you're back on the bandwagon? Thats a lot of flip-flopping!
Your spelling is slipping budy. Who here has said that Robinson wasn't himself his last year? Nobody, that's who.
You are assuming I'm a bandwagon fan just like I'm assuming you are a big time homer and doesn't like to hear reality. I never went on the Piston bandwagon after game 4. I am a true fan who doesn't leave them no matter what.
Why is is that "that one season didn't count" for the Spurs...why doesn't it "not count" for the Lakers, the Bulls, the Trailblazers, the Suns, yada yada yada????? All the teams had the same amount of time to prepare...all the teams had the same number of games to play. If it was such a snap for the Spurs to win the championship in a short season, WHY DIDN'T THE LAKERS WIN IT????? If they are such jocks? That excuse was lame for Jackson and it's lame here.
