So what's worse, winning the bronze or getting your hole busted by Tayshun Prince in the Finals with 4 HOFers and a HOF coach?

My perspective is that the Spurs are 3 games back of the Warriors for the 2nd best record in the league, while the Lakers are struggling to beat a team with 3 wins, one of them coming from the Lakers themselves.

Thats okay man we took two from him to keep him at 2.

Odom - Mr. Insconsistent
RJ - Choker
Amare - Terrible defender
AI - Ball Hog Brick Machine

Who else was on the team? I can see why it ended bad.

Kobe with odom = missed playoffs
Duncan with odom = bronze

Which one is worse?

I'd much rather lose a finals that some Americans watch than to be embarrassed on the world stage by some little chump giving me the finger

...

And why does everyone seem to offer their finger to Jimmy anyway?

Tim Duncan: "Don't worry fellas Kobe will come next time and get the job for you. "

Your Kobe did nothing. In his prime, he did nothing to stop Lebron, nothing. Your Shaq actually teamed up with him.

The facts remain:::You had him locked at 1, then Duncan stepped on a pop top, blew out his flip flop, had to cruise on back home.

Now he's made. It's over. He's LeBron James.

And you didn't even have to answer for it, outside of these 4 walls. Media was so in' jazzed you were able to slip out the back door and skedaddle back to Texas.

The facts do remain as I have said them. Your Kobe did nothing. The Spurs were the first to stop him in the Finals and gave him the proper rogering he deserved. That basically ran him out of Cleveland. We did it again in Miami with an even better rogering and that ran him back to Cleveland. Pillar to post, Bail, pillar to post.

In the interim, Kobe has made Lebron look like Michael ing Jordan, at Staples.. where Jack lives, where your hopes lie, where Kobe's half breed kids sleep.

Congrats to Pau for winning a Bronze Medal. He just became the 3rd HOF Spur big man to garner such an honor. Like the Admiral in '88 and Jim in 2004, Pau has provided us visual evidence that unless a Laker is leading the way, chances are not good for winning Gold.

Spurs are the only team in World History to have 3 bigs that cut down NBA championship nets, but also failed to win even a Silver Medal against mostly 3rd world countries.

Honestly, Timmy's failure to play out of pop's system and lead a team still stains the legacy of team usa.
