Maybe. But I think the 2005 team is close.
You have some of the best talent the NBA has to offer would you say this is the best Spurs team ever?

Maybe. But I think the 2005 team is close.
Too hard to say. I lean towards the 1999 team.
Nah, but they're pretty good.
I certainly think they play the best team bball of any Spurs team ever. Of course, I'll leave it to the really old school posters here to make that assesment with regards to Spurs teams pre-1995 'cause that's preety much all I'm familiar with![]()
99 Spurs team was the best.
This team has not yet won a le.
Then maybe this team will be close to the other championship teams.
As much as I want to consider the 1999 team the best ever, the fact that they didn't sweep a Ewing-less Knicks in the Finals gives me pause. I mean, Ewing did miss the Finals that year, didn't he?
Not before it's won...and probably not after either.
The 99 was the most dominant...
But IMO, the 2003 team had the most impressive victories and was probably the most talented.
1999
That was the best San Antonio will ever see..............
OK, now that I've gone back and refreshed my memory, I declare the 1999 Spurs the best ever. I forgot that they swept TWO series (Lakers & Blazers) and dropped only 1 game in the other two series (Timberwolves and Knicks).
The Twin Towers were no freaking joke.
IMHO, the 2003 champ team which dethroned the Lakers dynasty is the best up to this point.
This team has less overall talent than some other teams I've seen, but they certainly play a very tight team game.
If they go on to win the trophy, they will be up there...
I find it really hard to compare great Surs teams though - I love each of them in their own way!![]()
Yes, but Sprewell played like a man possessed...and almost won Game 5 for the Knicks...almost...
Yup...and 1999 is still the sweetest to me...Robinson AND Duncan...their first NBA Championship.![]()
Maybe we should wait until game one of the NBA finals to post

Too early. Still got more work to do.
Why 2003, can you go into detail?.

Deepest team, still having Robinson next to Duncan. Ginobili showing flashes of coming brilliance, Parker dynamic but not there yet. The best bench we've had.
I wouldn't fight too much that they were the best - they took 6 games to win every series, I think - but they're my favorite and were very tough.
Ask again after the Finals. We'll see how they play on the big stage.Is this the best Spurs team ever?
If this team sweeps the east in the Finals - I'd give them the nod as the tightest playing group of Spurs ever. Oberto, Finley, Vaughn, and occassionally Barry's play to go along with the Big 4 Spurs' mainstays have been almost flawless since a game 4 embarrassment against the Suns. They are on a roll, and if they keep it up they should win it all.
It's the best offensive spurs team we've ever had. The Spurs have never had three truly unique and game changing players on the offensive end like this ever before.
But I'd still favor the 99 team over anyone and say it's a tie with the 2003 team.
99 team probably the best because D-Rob was still a very good player back then. Although Tony is better than Avery and no Manu but we had Sean who was real good as well. If the Spurs can win the finals in grand fashion then we can come back and rediscuss this one.
