OMG! No offense to the thread starter, but WTF is with all of these if things were different threads?! What if we trade this person or that person? What if .4 never happened?
The playoffs are about to start. This is our team.
just think about this for a second.
Say bob hill never happened and say in 1991 or 1992 when david was in his prime we somehow tanked and became a lottery pick and Pop took over with Buford as mng and Holt as owner
Say the past was all different and Mr and Mrs Duncan gave birth to Timmy a couple years earlier and he graduated from Wake in 1992 making his rookie year the 1992-93 season and the Twin Towers dynasty got started a couple years earlier, while David was what Amare Stoudemire is now (an agile explosive mind boggling athletic big man) and Timmy and David were in their primes together.
Would the two year Mj left for baseball of been the Spurs years instead of Hakeems?
Could the Spurs have easily of takin care of short shorts stockton and the mailman?
and say bruce, sean, manu, tony, avery, del negro, mario ellie, malik, nazr and brent all played together along with tim in david from the late 90's to the early 2 thousands....
what do you think we wouldve done each season by season and how many championships would we have?
would tim of retired by now?
say david never hurt his back...
how would two superstars of david and tims caliber in their primes of co-existed and would either of them gotten mvps? how many points would david of really had against the clippers in the 71 pointer?
the final question would we have been better than the elite team on all time the 95-96 bulls, maybe not record wise but could this starting line up of
C-Drob
PF-Tim Duncan
SF-Bruce Bowen
Sg-Sean or Manu
Pg-Tony or avery
bench-nazr,brent,avery(tony),malik,sean(manu),stephen jackson, horry
beaten
jordon,pippen,harper,kerr,rodman,kukoc...and whoever the others were,
What if everything had been a little different...
i say .4 secs wouldve never happened, but we wouldve been too old to win one last year.
just some things to ponder while we wait for our west conference number 1 seed

lol i dont want things to be different at all I'm as loyal as you can get, this is just a fun thread to pass the time chill out.
You know you would love to see a team with Tim and David in their absoloute primes with Pop as coach, thats Jordon and Pippen or better right there.
I think all the what if we trade tony or manu threads are re ed. Gotta be loyal to your team and its players and out of bruce,tony and manu... Lebron and Wade only players I'd want to see them go for. the only ones.
Just imagine our team if it was earlier in time, it would rival showtime, celtics and the bulls.
What the is this?
This is the wildest WHAT IF thread ever!
[qoute]Say the past was all different and Mr and Mrs Duncan gave birth to Timmy a couple years earlier and he graduated from Wake in 1992 making his rookie year the 1992-93 season[/quote]
What if Jordan, Shaq, Larry Bird, and Majic all played for the Spurs at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my .....what if!
I have never seen a thread discussing if Timmy was born earlier
What are you on?
how is that so ridicolous wow, yall only respect posts from posters over a thousand unless its someone you make fun of like T-part, whott, the little bald guy, bootons or that stupid emo guy his names like uhh.... Sad day Sleeper? It's just a cool idea to think of Tim and David on the same team.
oh wait im a dumbass, wow im so ing dumb... if tim was bron earlier then the hurricane wouldnt of destroyed his pool and he's be wearing speedos.
im so ignorant and dumb. im going to go cry in my beer and pray that you friends accept me as your own haha
what am i on???? what the are you talking about you idiot.
the sports world does this all the time, there have been segments on sportscenter and in sports illustrated like what if... bo jax hadn't gotten hurt...what if jimmy johnson hadn't gotten fired...would the celtics dynasty of lived on if Lem Bias hadn't died... and i do believe i saw Jason Kidd in a Spurs jersey on the cover of SI...
but yeah man I'm on something because I wonder how dominant the Spurs would be if their two greatest players ever were the same age. Oh my god im so in dumb, at least I'm not a bandwaggoner fair weather fan. When we're a lottery team again I'd love to see who still posts on here.
No. If anyone else would have started this..they would have received the same you are..
it's just a ridiculous thread...
what if..what if..what if Hitler got his way? Would the world be where we are? WHAT IF!
You calling me an idiot?
Good one!
i read a good magazine article once about the world under Hitlers control.
then we definitely would never see dave and tim together cause they'd be in death camps due to the color of their skin
What if!
I think LJ and Kori should give you the le of "What if" under your forum name.
You calling me an idiot?
Good one!
yeah i am. there alot of good and smart posters on here that really know their stuff, but you mr. elvis impersonator, i guarantee i know more about Spurs, sports, and history and probably everything not involving math and science than you do.
i challenge you to a dance off at s last resort on the riverwalk, followed by a sports and history of the world trivia contest, then a game of one on one, topped off with me ourdrinking your ass and while you're lying drunk on the floor getting pissed on i'll be taking your mother dorothy mantooth out for a nice seafood dinner and never calling her again
If Dave and Timmy were both in their prime, I don't know if DRob sp easily accedes his offensive leadership to Tim. Talent-wise, the could potentially have beaten anyone. But the chemistry woudl have really been different.
i'd prefer not to get so addicted to this site like you are that the ongoings of it interfere with my life. the spurs already take up too much of my time, i don't need this talk website to bring me down anymore. go head though LJ give me a le of THE WHAT IF DREAMING BOY FROM BROWNSVILLE under my name or something.What if!
I think LJ and Kori should give you the le of "What if" under your forum name.
but wait Zstomp, aren't you a firm believer that Elvis is still alive. What are you on?
Think back to 1992, and forget Tim Duncan.
1992 Draft: (rookie stats)
1. Shaquille O'Neal (23.4 ppg, 13.9 rpg, 1.9 apg, 3.53 bpg).
2. Alonzo Mourning (21.0 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 1.0 apg, 3.47 bpg)
3. Christian Laettner (18.2 ppg, 8.7 rpg, 2.8 apg, 1.30 spg, 1.02 bpg)
6. Tom Gugliotta (14.7 ppg, 9.6 rpg, 3.8 apg, 1.65 spg, .43 bpg)
I think the closest thing to a Tim Duncan-like player on that list is either Christian Laettner or Tom Gugliotta. Both of them are more power forwards than Shaq and Alonzo.
But let's not forget that the Spurs didn't have a scrub starting alongside Robinson - Terry mings and soon-to-be Dennis Rodman.
People need to lay back. I can't believe how offended people can get over a 'What if....' question. FYI A lot of people ask what if questions for entertainment/fun. Take a chill pill. Goddamn.
this sspursin06 guy is crakin me up... haha (pretty funny , not in a bad way)
I have never seen a thread discussing if Timmy was born earlier
Timmy would be a multiple Olympic medals winner for swimming!
(without the hurricane he would not have turned to bball)
Duncan and Robinson are already the most successful twin tower combination in history...
Wilt and Nate - 0 Rings
Hakeem and Ralph - 0 Rings
Ewing and Cartwright - 0 Rings
Drob and Duncan - 2 Rings...in 7 years of playing together...what was the difference in the other 5 years? Well most of the time it wasn't Drob and Duncan...perhaps I should ask instead, what was the difference in the 2 le winning years? Mario Elie and Jaren Jackson...Steve Kerr and Stephen Jackson...
Twin towers(even with both in their primes) has never been a championship winning formula...A pair of All Star Guards has been much more successful.
You could stick Duncan and Drob together in their primes but unless you improve the guards and outside shooting of the early 90's teams you aren't beating Utah and Houston...Those Spurs teams were beaten by clogging the paint and forcing the outside shooters to beat them...that was pretty much what beat all the other tower combos as well, and that's what usually beat the Spurs when they lost in the Duncan and Robinson era....that's what beat Drob, and that's what beats Duncan. It's also what beat Wilt, Kareem, and Hakeem as well...
So I don't think it makes much difference if all you do is switch out Duncan for TC or Rodman...in fact it's possible that the Spurs could actually have won fewer les with that arrangement than they did with getting Duncan late in Drob's career...could they have beaten the Rockets in 94-95? Maybe...but that Rockets team tended to play only as good as they had to to win...maybe, maybe not, but all the other years of the 90's would have been a similar ending...especially Utah.
And yeah...Drob probably wouldn't have been as willing to give up being the man in 92-93. By the time the Spurs drafted Duncan, Drob had proven and done everything there was to prove and do on the court(and boy howdy, I mean that literally)...cept the ring.
Getting Pop earlier instead of the revolving coaching door would have probably made as much difference as anything...at least Pop would have preached D.

i tell you this we had more success against the bulls in the regular season, but playoffs n finals is different ball game. But i dont buy that jordan bs, drob+duncan 99-03 team wouldve cause them alot of trouble. the bulls had no front court.
We had regular season success against the early 90's Bulls...and so did the Rockets...but the playoffs are different...as Patrick Ewing knows. The Bulls that won the last 3 les rolled us.
The thing about the Bulls is that they always had more confidence than their opponents...I think only one of their finals opponents had championship experience.
I think if the Bulls had played the 93-94 Rockets, they would have beaten those Rockets. Those Rockets won because they got outchoked by the Knicks...but that 94-95 Rockets team was the most fearless and clutch team I have ever seen, that team had balls of steel. They were always on the road and always down 0-2 it seemed, and it never phased them. That's the only team of the 90's that I think stood a chance against the Bulls.
Those Bulls teams took out some pretty good bigmen in Ewing and Shaq.
Yeah, Ralph Sampson could have been something if it weren't for his injuries, in all his years he was improving and averaging 20+ and 10+ with a good number of blocks until he got injured . I'd have expected him and Hakeem to win more rings.
They never won one.
But man had a potential.
