And now The SUNS Rivalry
The spurs will be remembered for being BORING, SOFT and the ½ le (*)![]()

I was thinking, and after the choke job to GS last night, will anyone here ever take the Mavs seriously again? Say the first game we play them next year, even if the Spurs lose do we care? Will Mav fans still take trash during the regular season? I know a Dallas-SA matchup anytime not in the playoffs will just be another game from now on because I dont think their time will be the same as 06 ever again after what they just suffered through.

Actually, the opponent must have won against the Spurs and vice versa to be considered a rival. Remove the Suns from above said list.![]()
The Suns don't even have half a le.
of course there would still be a rivalry as long as both the teams are from texas and from the 06 playoffs...same thing if the spurs lost in the first round to the nuggets...i still wouldnt disreguard them as an elite team...and i know any smart spurs fan would say the same about dallas
Rivalry ? Let's compare jewelry. Be afraid.
Legend has it, we almost swept your asses 2 years ago when we eventually won our 3rd Championship.
"I aint gonna lie, we're just hoping to get one win so we don't get swept."
-- Amare Stoudemire quote before Game 4.
Fixed. Seriously, dude. At least the Mavs trolls brought a little something. You're making them look insightful by comparison.
we beat yall in the playoffs, yall beat us in the playoffs a couple of years before. yes its still a rivalry. we've shown either one of us can knock each other out, either one of us can win a division le.
we just cant win a championship![]()
still not a mavs troll...seeing as how this is the nba forum...or whatever its called nowadays
ACtually they have beat us in a playoff series.
How many times have the Suns lost in the NBA Finals? Twice? Remind me again how many times they've won it? I can't tell from this stat sheet I'm looking at. You see, sometimes it's hard for me to read about other teams' histories what with all the glare from those three championship trophies shining in my eyes.
I've never considered the Suns a rival. Speedbump, maybe, but rival? No.
I don't get it, is that picture intended to diss Tim? I actually think it looks pretty cool.
I think this could intensify the rivalry....Dallas will be even more intent on winning next year.
We had a reason to hate the Lakers and the Mavs. The Suns aren't really THAT hateable. In fact, I actually like the Suns (Nash, Amare and Marion count among my favorite non-Spurs players). So there's no real rivalry here that can compare to the Mavs or the Lakers. Sorry.
Earlier in the year I said SA/Dallas was the top rivalry, but now at the end of the season where the truth came out again, it now seems the only real rival the Spurs have had are the Lakers:
1999: The Spurs beat the Lakers 4-0 to close out the Lakers in their final playoff series at the Forum in LA.
2001: Lakers sweep the Spurs.
2002: Lakers close out the Spurs in their final playoff game at the Alamodome.
2003: The Spurs become the first team to beat the Lakers while at their new home, the Staples Center, ending the Lakers 2000-2003 le run.
2004: The rivalry ends, With Fisher's 0.4 shot closing out the 5 year rivalry. Shaq leaves town, and the new Lakers begin.
For five NBA seasons from 1999-2003, the Lakers and Spurs were the only NBA champions, and eliminated each other whenever each team won the le except for 2000 with Duncan out. The most significant le was the 2003 elimination and end of the Lakers dynasty.
The Mavericks can't be included in any rivalry if they haven't won an NBA championship. Last year's Semifinals win over SA was a mistake, as they clearly shouldn't have advanced and were the wrong team to advance (Only a mediocre 8-10 in the playoffs since that Game 7 victory in SA)
the best thing i can say is in 24 hours there have been 6 pages worth of threads in the NBA news forum after the Mavs lost last night.
you tell me if its a rivalry
Don't flatter yourself. You guys are s, and we love your pain.
I hate to do it, but I named my dog after Barkley

Dallas is a different type of rivalry, because LA always had what we wanted - or we always had what they wanted. Dallas is a rivalry, but not as heated or intense... but I still hate them.
You wish the Suns could claim the Spurs as a rival, your team is not even worth mentioning in a discussion about rivalries. The Suns have never done anything to even threaten us in a playoff series, they're no more of a rival to us than Seattle is.![]()
