I had heard on FSR last night that supposedly Robert Horry said that this Spurs team could beat Magic's Lakers and Bird's Celtics teams easily. Now if he said that, then the man has lost all sense of reality.
What is up with "the Spurs played bad in the Finals so it's hard to call them a dynasty" or "the Spurs in the Finals is not good for the league"? "Tim Duncan is no Karl Malone" or "Poppovich is no Red Aueberbach or Pat Riley". NO those guys can't be compared to Jordan, Bird, Magic, Riley, etc. The Spurs Dynasty has taken on a life of its own. Just like Jordan said there can't be another Jordan, but there can be a Wade or LeBron, don't take away from the Spurs just because they don't have the same entertainment value, ratings, etc. as previous dynasties. We have heard that after they won the 2003, 2005, and now 2007 championship. RATINGS and ENTERTAINMENT do not determine an NBA Championship.
And there's always an excuse. "Well without the Phoenix suspensions they wouldn't be in the Finals". Or how about "Well Dallas didn't have Dirk and Lakers didn't have Rick Fox in 2003". Do us a favor and SHADDUP. The same trend has continued since the last Lakers championship run in 2002 ended: No respect for the NBA champions just because they're not the team that was "supposed to be there". Dallas was there last year, right? They lost, so people make excuses about the "upset" and rant about referees/NBA wanting to make Wade into the new Jordan, so they give him all the calls.
So let's rewrite NBA history here so the O'Brien trophy gets its value back:
THE 2003 NBA CHAMPIONS, THE LA LAKERS!
THE 2004 NBA CHAMPIONS, THE LA LAKERS WITH THEIR HALL OF FAME FAB 4 OF SHAQ, KOBE, MALONE, AND PAYTON!
THE 2005 NBA BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPIONS, THE DETROIT PISTONS!
THE 2006 NBA CHAMPIONS, THE YOUNG, ATHLETIC, ENTERTAINING DALLAS MAVERICKS, TO WHOM THE SPURS HAVE PASSED THE TORCH!
THE 2007 NBA CHAMPIONS, THE DALLAS MAVERICKS, WINNERS OF 67 GAMES IN THE REGULAR SEASON!
Where has the value/respect for the NBA champions gone?!?! Thank the stupid entertainment-minded glitz-and-glamour-minded NBA media for wanting certain teams year after year to make it, and then they don't make it, so instead of focusing on who did/was supposed to/has real talent to make it, we call it "boring" and "bad for the league". STFU.
Congrats Spurs on the dynasty.

Everyone here hates you, Jeff...
i think the spurs could beat those teams, put bowen on jordan,bird or magic. see what happens
You used to be a Spurs fan in the 90s that switched teams because you thought they were never going to win anything?
Interesting . . .
Hey Leo, ready to root for a real team?![]()
How's that pacerfandom working out for ya, poo?
You're close...i was a fan during their "heyday" in the 70's and 80's. But everyone here knows the story so I'm not going to re-hash it today cause this is for the Spurs fans.
As for what Horry "supposedely" said, I think he's nuts. They wouldn't stand a chance.
We want you to tell us about your bandwagon-jumping BECAUSE this is a day for spurfans.But everyone here knows the story so I'm not going to re-hash it today cause this is for the Spurs fans.
C'mon poo, you're a writer -- tell us your story of heartbreak and disappointment as a spurfan and ultimate vindication and complete fulfillment as a pacerfan.
Sucks to be you dude.
So it is true . . .
I must really suck to be you![]()

Nope, if you don't know it by now chimpdumper, then you're the loser everyone says that you are.![]()
I know the story, but it's important we hear it from you.
I don't want to come of as biased against whiny turncoat fans with laughably horrible judgment.
Dennis Rodman on Duncan ?
You just did...but thank you for playing, we have some lovely parting gifts for you.
So you are admitting to being a whiny turncoat fan with laughably horrible judgment.
Thank you!
I think you need to read (try it somet time) you said YOU didn't want to come off as being biased, etc. I just confirmed that you already did.
If you weren't what I am biased against, how could I come off as biased?
I think we all need to read your story, poo.
Set the record straight.
The good old days when Pooh and chump used to fight and MFD used to post crazy threads in the political forum!
chump has nothing better to do, so he likes to re-open wounds...
He jests at scars that never felt a wound.
Why is it a wound, poo?
Elaborate.
