The Odd Team out: The Spurs

[Sadaam_Mariixmaan]

Have u Noticed every odd year since 2003 that Spurs won the NBA Championship very weird

the pattern continues...

[The-Screw]

i didn't notice it until i read an article on yahoo sports. they'll beat the cavs in 5 games.



by the way, 2053?

[Sadaam_Mariixmaan]

i fixed it i meant 2003

and yeah in 5 games with that South American getting the MVP

Spurs just have too many weapons plus they have the ability to lock down the opposing teams scorers. I don't think that will happen if they face the Cavs tho. Lebron will find a way to manufacture points even if he's having a horrible shooting nite.

Jordan used to do that to my Knicks back in the '90's

^^^ It's too early to compare LeBron to what MJ did to the Knicks.......

Besides, who are the Pistons anyways? They got drama king Sheed who loses it when they are losing.

MJ was and still is on a whole nother level........Bron's nice but MJ just had that little extra.


The Spurs are battle-tested and have too many weapons for the Cavs.........they beat the Pistons when they had Ben Wallace.....

Gedoboy.

Rasheed Wallace, is a great player. He is very passionate, and can be hard headed at times, especially in the beginning of his career, but now he has lowered that temper.

But Rasheed was right, for getting pissed off. Clearly, the refs were making BS calls. "THEY TOUCHED OUR KING, LEBRON...FOUL...OFFENSIVE FOUL"

The refs won the game for them. I hope that doesn't come into play with the Spurs.

I've never hated anyone or any team in any sports the way i hated those Knicks in the 90's and being a HUGE fan of the Bulls and Magic only fueled my hate and anger towards them. they were physical, they were dirty, they were show offs, they were coky sons of b!tches. Anthony Mason being the worst of them all, what an a.ss that guy was, even in his Charlotte and Milwaukee days, can't stand him! John Starks, Patrick Ewing, Derek Harper, Charles Oakley, damn them all to hell. the late 90's roster though, with the addition of Larry Johnson Alan Houston and Latrell Sprewell were okay, i thought they were alright, i didn't hate them as much, by then my hate shifted towards the west...LAKERS!

[Gedo_Boy]

Alluring,

I like Sheed too........but I hate how he's always blowing it at the end. I remember the first Finals the Lakers won they they beat the Blazers in the Western Conf. Finals, Sheed fouled out and if it werent' for that maybe the Lakers woudn't have had their 3 rings.


The-Screw,

I was a Knicks fan growing up so you know how many stakes Jordan put through my heart. I was a Jordan hater growing up in the Knicks fueds, but I have to tip my hat off to him, he had more dedication, motivation, and work ethic than anybody else....on top of his physical gifts.

The only person I see close to that now is KOBE, even though I ddn't like his arrogance......he is def. dedicated to improving his game and has phenomenal athleticism.........he went from an average/streaky shooter early in his career to a significant perimeter threat, and with his athleticism to be able to dunk on you at any time......he's crazy.

His main flaw is his ego and personality.

this vidoe http://youtube.com/watch?v=Bp8ns7Bkm-s can be credited for my resignation from the anti-kobe corporation. i have to admit, i never liked this kid, i hated shaq even more for breaking up the Orlando Magic in 1996, i still hate him to this day, they had a deep bench with a killer starting line up in Penny Hardaway, Dennis Scott, Nick Anderson, Horace Grant and Shaq, hollywoods offers him few dollars more and he ran like a little b!tch. i hated everything that associated with him including Kobe and the Lakers organization, it's only as recent as 2003 that i started to give kobe the benefit of the doubt, and i do agree with you. he is the next best thing to Michael Jordan, even though there will never be anyone that will ever amount to his airness.

[quote="Gedo_Boy"]^^^ "It's too early to compare LeBron to what MJ did to the Knicks."

Maybe so but Lebron has certainly matured alot quicker than some other players who have been established in this league.

"Besides, who are the Pistons anyways? They got drama king Sheed who loses it when they are losing."

To be fair, RW was a cancer in Portland but he toned it down when he got traded to Detroit, but then again that was under Larry Brown who's no longer there and focked up my knick team.


"MJ was and still is on a whole nother level........Bron's nice but MJ just had that little extra."

Completely agree with you here but LeBron may become somewhat of a special talent if he continues to play he's been doing this season.


"The Spurs are battle-tested and have too many weapons for the Cavs.........they beat the Pistons when they had Ben Wallace."

Agree with you again. I picked them to come out the western conference even tho Pheonix and Dallas had such great seasons. I would've rather watch them play Golden State than face Utah in the Western Conference finals tho. That would've been a better series.

and to think the Pistons had a chance to pick Carmelo Anthony instead of a no body named Millicic!

Screw,

Becareful how you speak of my team son. The Knicks was the best defensive team in the decade and I hated having to watch them go through Chicago every post season. I still hate the Bulls and MJ. The NY/Chicago...NY/Miami rivalry made the NBA exciting now all of that is gone from pro basketball. And no the Knicks weren't dirty. We were just a physical team...your bulls was cocky tho.

[Gedo_Boy]

I used to hate KOBE w/ a passion........but then his rape trial came and I felt sorry for him almost having his life thrown away by a star-struck skank who was running a sperm bank in her panties.

He's battling w/ insecurities.........but now he's realized he's a prick and doesn't deny his problem anymore.......and that is the 1st step to successful rehabilitation.


#1baller,

I agree Bron's great and I initially thought he was over-rated but I guess he is really good.

But to determine a champion, you have to have everything thrown at you and see if you are clutch when it really counts against a worthy adversary.

Back in the day, ppl thought MJ couldn't do it alone, that he was a ballhog and was a 1-man team........but then he beat the Pistons and beat the Lakers and NEVER lost a Championship.

In fact, after MJ won his 1st Championship, he NEVER failed in a make-break situation.........think about that......6-0 in Finals Championships.

Carmelo Anthony is a chump. I focking hate that guy.

[Gedo_Boy]

I remember KOBE early in his career was talking about: "Why am I gonna go to the club? WHy do I need a tatto? Why should I get an earring?" like he was knocking all that stuff and then he turns around and gets those things himself a little while l8r.

I guess the peer pressure got to him, but I did like the fact that he was his own man and didn't try to act all thug.
