Great... a 10 page thread in the making.
The last two teams with a 22 - 3 start just so happened to be 2004-2005 phoenix suns and the 2002-2003 Dallas Mavericks...
Just in case if you have forgotten, the Spurs beat both of those teams during those same respective seasons in the conference finals and went on to win the NBA Finals those same years. Whose Next.... the Detroit Pistons... in June 2006.
Great... a 10 page thread in the making.
so ?
so..it means that anything can still happen. im not sayin the spurs are gonna beat the out of detroit but it still can happen
You also forgot that Detroit plays defense, neither of those teams did, and defense wins championships. Detroit is better than those two teams ever were.
I was asking thewhiter why a 10 page thread on this was great
you forgot also that flip has gotten out of the first round once with a mvp candiate
BTW try to get out of the Western Conference first before even thinking about facing the Pistons in the Finals...
pistons have to get out the east to
oh the spurs can handle the west with one sweep of the wand..but can the pistons handle the oneals of the east?
It's a long season. Injuries don't happen on paper and neither do the playoffs. I say play out the string, see what happens when it's over.
Troubles can make the bonds stronger and teams pull from deep within. (See PHX) Spurs have to get out of the West, which ain't a given. Same for the East and the Pistons.
The Spurs have never peaked in their performace until around the time of the Rodeo road trip--a fast start doesn't neccessarrily mean a le down the road (just ask the mavs and suns)
who are the contenders in the west? everyone in the wc got weak so i dont think gettin out of it is gonna be a problem. the ec so far has a lot more firepower and strength to match detroit. but we'll see, there's still the problem of injuries and homestretch runs..
However, there was one team that did go on to win the Finals that had a 22-3 start, but that was the Chicago Bulls with Michael Jordan, that was the third team... Detroit... they are not no Chicago Bulls and they don't have a Michael Jordan..
What's that smell???

Ohh, i got it.... FEAR
Anyone who compares the '03 Mavs and '05 Suns to the Pistons needs to ban themselves from speaking for a week.

nah, that aint fear..that's you're smelling!
I hope who ever you are smelling that on gets the off the bandwagon.
Yeah, I didn't get the comparison of the teams either. Other than the same record, there's no similarities in the teams, their strengths, etc.
The Pistons are a le tested, defensive team. Could the Mavs or Suns hold the Spurs to an 8 point quarter? How about outrebound them by 27? Did those teams have anyone that could neutralize Duncan (ala Sheed). Dirk? Amare?To even suggest that what the Spurs did to the Suns/Mavs holds any weight when it comes to the Pistons is just crazy talk
The Spurs are a great team and another Spurs/Pistons series would be very close no doubt, but this thread is pointless.

Right now, the West is stronger than the East...
yup
Agreed. The Pistons have the power. Defensive minded team with one weak side. The coach who never been to the Finals. But as we can see when yu talk about the Pistons you should stop talking about the coach. Carlisle Brown, Saunders. No matter who coached tem they were tough.
Repost???
Right now it's all about injuries..
About the only thing we can count on is we will be in the playoffs. And we will have one of the top slots. We kinda have to wait till playoff time to really think about winning it all or not. Depending on injuries...
Yep, the Flip aspect is up in the air (though he has been pretty flawless thus far). But I will say this... In '99 Coach Popovich had never been out of the 2nd round. What happend that year? The fact is, there is no coach in the history of the NBA that was born a championship coach. Every championship coach has their first, Pop with the Spurs, Larry with the Pistons. Flip..... ?????yup
The coach who never been to the Finals.

True... we all must remember, that Flip won the MidWest Division two years ago, and had the League MVP at that time - Kevin Garnett, having probably his best season, but when it came time for the conference finals, they just choked when it came to game time, I say blame that on the Coach for not getting his team mentally ready for the big show. Pop owns Flip. Period.
