I may be the dumbest man on the planet but didn't the Spurs beat the Pistons in 2005 for a le,,,,the same Piston team that crushed the Lakers in '04,,,4-1?
If they got by the Lakers them two years? no. Those were two of the greatest defensive teams in NBA history. Otherwise Kobe is sitting on 7.

only realistic choice is 2004 pistons. only because they beat them in 05. but i dont think they would. 2004 was just their year.
I think the Spurs could have beaten Detroit, they had homecourt. Would of been a toss-up just like 05'.
I don't give them a great chance against Boston in 2008. Maybe 25%.
Celtics. No way. 08 Spurs were a pretty weak team as far as all-time Spurs teams go. 08 Celtics are overall overrated, though. Got taken to 7 in every series aside from the Finals.
04 Pistons would go 7, just like '05. Pistons win probably. Hedo Turkeyglu was getting major minutes on the 04 Spurs.
2008 Celtics? Maybe. Pop would've coached circles around Doc Rivers and Duncan would've gone ape playing KG.
I don't think anyone was beating Detroit in 04 tbh.
04 spurs had turkoglu so no way.
I'd give te 08 spurs a bigget shot, but still think boston would won.
Would the Lakers have beaten the 2004 Pistons if Kirby didn't lodge this?
Kirby's averages from the 2004 Finals:
2004: 22.6 ppg, 4.4 apg, 2.8 rpg, 1.8 steals, .6 blocks, 3.6 turnovers, 38% shooting
Daddy's averages from the 2004 Finals:
2004: 26.6 ppg, 10.8 rpg, 1.6 apg, .6 blocks, 63.1% shooting
You see,,,,I disagree with most. Spurs matched up well with the Pistons. The Lakers didn't. Both(San Antonio an Detroit) were defensive juggernauts.
Great numbers from Daddy against one of the best defensive frontcourts ever, tbh.
Also,at Cuonzo's "greatest defensive team in NBA history" excuse.... Shaq certainly didn't have any trouble shooting 63% against the Pistons

Even a fat ass shaq was much better than the rapist. At least the rape that rip hamilton did on kirby was legal.
Spurs needed a dose of Barry and Nazr the next year to beat them though, they were key parts! They were not around in 04 and Rash started and Hedo had a big role! Think about that for a second! I don't think they beat that Detroit team with that unit, they were on a mission. 08 Celts I doubt they beat as well, better chance than the 04 Pistons though IMO. I doubt we win either series in all reality.
Don't forget Isolayshaun Prince taking Kirby's cookie and making him like it![]()
I still think the 05 series with Detroit only went 7 because Duncan's ankles were ed. That 05 Pistons team had a terrible bench outside McDyess (unlike the very deep 04 team) and had a lousy season with 54 wins after a le hangover just like this year's Heat. The 04 Pistons were significantly better than the 05 team, but I think the 04 Spurs with a healthy Duncan were better than the 05 Spurs with Duncan who got worn out by the fourth quarter all the time. I think it'd be a coin toss who takes Game 7 between the two teams.
In 08 the Celtics smash the Spurs in 5 or at worst 6, even if Ginobili never got hurt. Those Celtics were incredible in the frontcourt and would have eaten Bonner, Oberto, and Finley alive. They had so many quality players at positions 3-5. Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Kendrick Perkins, James Posey, Leon Powe, PJ Brown, and Tony Allen. Absolutely no chance.
When Kobrick got out played by Austin Chroshere in the 2000 Finals,,,,his fake legacy was crushed. Only Laker/Kobe fans doing a smoke and mirror routine.
2014 Spurs beats both in 4, not enough scoring for pistons and celtics wouldve gotten run off the court with fake stars like KG and Pierce (lol wheelchair get)
2/3 = 66% son. Try harder.![]()
66% > 38%![]()
Good take son. Still think 04 Pistons would have pushed your in.
