There is no way that the Spurs are gonna trade Manu or TP for KG. Anyway the Spurs are good enough without KG.
It might be a lame excuse but in reality teams need time to get in shape. Players also need time to get used to new plays and style of play. There was no training camp and that is huge for many coaches. Luckily Poppovich already had that team together for a year and took advantage of the other teams.
That just shows how much better of a coach Pop is. Do you read your posts aloud before you hit "submit reply"? Cause this is getting ridiculous!
Only 2 teams have won 16 games in order to win a le, spurs 03,05 and pistons 04, that means every other team has an * next to their season
I really dont know why he wastes his time posting here...
How am I a big time homer? I'm a basketball fan first, I'm just lucky to live in San Antonio! Am I much less of a Spurs fan, because I enjoy Amare's game? Or because I like Kobe's skills? (his on-court abilities only) And even though that T-Mac shootout earlier in the season hurt, it was a of a thing to watch! At least I'm not humoring myself by saying KG>TD, hahaha! get real!
I agree. The spurs are the best team now but in 99 you don't know what a full camp can do so it is unknown for that year.
You're the one with the Tim Duncan love fest. He is a great guy but you are distorting reality by saying he is best player in the league.
With or without a full camp, it was the Spurs year. All the teams had an equal opportunity, but the Spurs succeeded. You are seriously blind when it comes to basketball, huh?
Hmmm, do you care to show me where I said that he was the best player in the league? He's the best PF in the league. The best all around player....yup. But I wouldn't choose him if the NBA was 1 on 1. Kobe and T-Mac are deadly when it comes to off the dribble. KG doesn't even make my top 3 PFs!
I would be blind if I was following the spur wagon on saying Rasho is a great player and Robinson was always good even when injured. Duncan's teammates are decent but not great. That is blind
I know you hate Garnett but you are making everyone dumber by choosing your favorites as the top.
Duncan>Amare>KG
Now you are making yourself look silly. Amare is a one dimensional player. He scores. This might change in a year or 2 but right now Garnett is still the best. Did Nash come to your mind?
Who are you quoting? When did I say TD's teammates were great? He's a great player because he can get it done with just 1 allstar teammate. And KG can't even do it with 2.
I'd have to put Rasheed higher than KG, due to his playoff abilities, excluding his disappearance in this years Finals.
He averaged 20.6 ppg without Nash in 04 including 24 ppg post all star break, yeah nash has everything to do with amare
Yeah, he scores and that scoring led his team to the best record in the league. His future is definitely scary looking, the Spurs know that the Suns team will need to be dealt with in the immediate future. He's still going uphill with his skills, whereas KG..... Amare's defense or lack thereof caught up to him in the WCF, but thats more than KG.
Duncan has great role players and a second option in Ginoblil. Sometimes role players are better than stars. Horry is a role player and so is Bowen. They all bring something different to the table. You can't say that for Garnett's team. Olawakandi can't rebound. Sprewell and Wally can't play defense. Cassell can't stay healthy. These are the differences between what Duncan has and Garnett.
I don't think KG is better then Tim, but he is LIGHT YEARS ahead of Rasheed.
Spursdaone, you are now saying Duncan's teammates aren't great? I thought that was KG's argument?
That is what some other people thought on this forum.
Just like Horry doesn't show up in the regular season, Beno is a turnover machine, Ginobili is always injured(but he still plays), Tony disappears in the playoffs, Bowen can't shoot free throws, blah blah blah. All players have drawbacks, but even with a so-called perfect team, KG still wouldn't get a ring.
I'd rather have Tim going against KG, then to have Tim dealing with Rasheed again.
Garnett would be shutting down Horry and Ben would guard Duncan if Detroit had Garnett.
